can't login after 4.0.0 update

    i did an update to my wp core and now cannot login to the backend. the only error message i received during upgrade was that the wp-config-sample.php couldn’t be copied (likely because i had deleted it…), but everything seemed to complete. the front end of the site is still up, and i was able to do the db upgrade.

    when i attempted to log back into the admin area, the site would throw a 500 error. i found the following error in my logs:

    [Thu Sep 04 17:49:13 2014] [error] [client 173.196.15.210] PHP Fatal error:  Class 'WP_Session_Tokens' not found in /var/www/html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 879, referer: ht\
tp://omitted/wp-login.php

    i verified that the WP_Session_tokens class definition file was in my wp-includes folder.

    any ideas of what is causing pluggable to not see the session token class and how to fix it?

    thx!

    Did you upgrade manually?

    Try doing a manual upgrade and making sure ALL the files get updated. This includes all the files in the wp-admin and wp-includes folders, as well as the ROOT files, like wp-settings.php and the like. If you miss any files, you can get strange and exotic errors like these.

    Same problem after a manual upgrade to 4.0
    PHP Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Session_Tokens’ not found in /var/www/vhosts/wordpress/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 879
    Login seems OK, but redirects to a blank /login/ page.

    Renamed plugin and theme dir with same result.

    Hard delete wp-includes and wp-admin.

    Reinstall manually. See if that worked.

    I Can’t login in 4.0 too…

    I tried to update manually but it didn’t work either…

    brunosette, please post your own support thread about that: https://www.ads-software.com/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform

    This has happened on my site as well. It appears to be a result of an automatic update. Any ideas where to begin to fix this?

    Jon and Brunosette — are either of you running a caching plugin?

    I’m wondering if something in advanced-cache.php or the like may be manually including pluggable.php to get to wp_set_auth_cookie() before most of core is included.

    Why should he post his own thread if it is the exact same problem to the “t”? Isn’t that the point in researching the issue before posting a new thread?

    We are having the same exact problem as well with our company wordpress site. Anyone solve it yet? We are trying to manually update without replacing the content folders – we have a whole lot of audio and video podcast that would have to be re-uploaded (:x)

    Another thought would be to go back a step before 4.0 and upload the core from the previous version.

    jdharry — can you confirm that your wp-settings.php matches this one?

    https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/4.0/wp-settings.php

    Specifically line 122 that requires session.php, and that session.php also matches

    https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/4.0/wp-includes/session.php

    Because there can be many causes and many solutions for “can’t login after 4.0.0 update.” Once you start reaching all of those differences, you turn what used to be a productive thread for just jon.best and his issue into simply a mess for everyone.

    jrlawrence — It’s because the number of threads on a given issue makes it much easier to determine frequency and severity of issues. Also, there are many roads that lead to Rome, and many causes that can lead to the same error.

    For reference, I had the exact same error upon reaching wp-login.php. George’s solution worked for me.

    Thanks to George who wrote: can you confirm that your wp-settings.php matches this one? my problem is solved. It looks like wp-settings was not updated by my own mistake.
    Thank you for the quick answer!
