No login to wp-admin

  • Put up a new blog, was running ok until I changed the URL in the general setting in the dashboard.
    since then, when I try to login into wp-admin (the respective page displays) nothing happens, I end up on the same page with empty fields again. Doesn’t matter which user I try or even if I enter nonsense.
    Already tried to change the URLs in the wp-config.php or the themes functions.php. both didn’t work.
    Seems like a clear cut case of “TSTU” (tech smarter than user), anybody able to help? Thanks!

    Ha!
    Did the following: edited wp-config.php to include the original path, not the redirected URL I used before. Works!
    But… …it was my original intention to avoid having the blog URL displayed as “https://blabla.bl/stupidblog” but rather as “https://stupidblog.bl”, which is set to redirect to “https://blabla.bl/stupidblog”. So, no progress there, but at least I can login once agein ??

    check with your latest Plugin which u have install … try to rename one by one and check …

    See the Codex page on giving WordPress its own directory.

    I realize this may not solve your problem directly because your situation is slightly different (I didn’t change the url), but I’ll paste my troubleshooting from a similar problem recently in case it’s of any help. My problem occurred when I tried to access the admin panel of a client’s website after upgrading to WordPress 3.2.1.

    Fortunately, the fix was incredibly simple: I just had to go into CPanel and change the permissions on the wp-admin folder to 755 as described in this post. Do the same for wp-content and wp-includes if they are not already set to 755 (mine were). The individual files within these directories should be set to 644 already, but you can spot check those just to make sure.

    The other thing I did (not counting troubleshooting like disabling all of the plugins, etc.) before trying the above was to remove the W3 Total Cache plugin as described here. This likely wasn’t necessary but since I had read about this plugin having conflicts with the latest version of WordPress, I tried it just in case. Note that you must remove not only the W3 Total Cache folder under Plugins (wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/) but also all of its associated files:

    wp-content/advanced-cache.php
    wp-content/db.php
    wp-content/object-cache.php
    wp-content/w3tc/
    wp-content/w3-total-cache-config.php
    wp-content/w3-total-cache-config-preview.php
    wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/

    You may be able to resolve your problem simply by changing the file permissions, so try that before resorting to removing the W3 Total Cache plugin files.

    Hope that helps, and good luck!
