4.1 (Intsall from 3.9) Can't Login – Loops into redirect …. reauth=1

    9 years, 10 months ago

    Today I again attempted to update my blog / site to WordPress 4.1. I use the manual update option as auto updates have failed in the past.

    My site is https://www.theworldforgot.com

    My host is 1and1

    After updating whenever I go to the /wp-admin or /wp-login it simply redirects me back to a URL that ends with wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theworldforgot.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

    If I enter an incorrect password the screen shakes like it’s supposed to.
    If I enter the correct password it just reloads the login page.

    Things I have tried:
    – disabled all plugins
    – deleted all plugins
    – cleared browswer, cookies, cache, and used a different browser
    – deleted .htaccess
    – edited wp-config.php and changed all the Authentication Unique Keys
    – updated PHP to PHP 5.5
    – did an emergency password reset

    Nothing gets me to the admin dashboard. Nothing. It simply loops back to the login URL ending in reauth=1

    One thing I am trying to resolve. With my host the MySQL database is too large and (at least through phpMyAdmin) I can’t optimize the table in question (wp_commentmeta) because I believe they’ve blocked me from INSERT command due to the database being over the limit. (FYI – The database has 101 MB of Akismet logs that have never been purged in the past 5 years).

  • What’s in your “.htaccess” file?

    “.htaccess” reads as follows

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Problem persists whether or not the .htaccess file is present or deleted entirely.

    Looks like you were missing a line.

    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

    Try deleting your old “.htaccess” file and replacing it with this.

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

    You can also add this rule to prevent people from browsing your web server’s files. A.K.A wp-includes,wp-admin, and wp-content folders and other subfolders. To add this. Copy and paste this at the very bottom of your .htaccess file, after #END WordPress.

    Is there a donate button for you? I’ve been struggling with this for almost 10 months (I kept rolling back to WordPress 3.9x in order to be able to view my admin dashboard).

    Thanks so much.

    Glad I could help ??
