Admin login is not working

  • Hi

    My new WordPress installs have a problem with login. They work a couple days and then login stops working. It’s doesn’t say password or username is wrong and it doesn’t make the animation it usually makes when the password is wrong. Only reloads the login form page. This happens only with new installs with the latest WP version and so far only in localhost environment. All the old WordPress installs work just fine with older WP versions. Also localhost. I have backups made with All-in-One WP Migration and login starts working when I do new WP install and get the backup version in. And then again after couple of days login stops working.

    I already tried:
    Disabling all the plugins and theme and functions.php
    Cleared cache and cookies and with different browsers
    Restarted Apache and MySQL
    Cleared htaccess file

    Only common thing with the sites is the latest WordPress version and All-in-One WP Migration plugin which I also deleted with no help.

  • The passwords are stored in the mysql database in the USERS table. To change the password, you would have to set functions to MD5 and type in a new value. Also, keep in mind that passwords are case sensitive. The functions.php should not have any effect on your plugin unless someone added a hook in it to do so.

    I haven’t changed the passwords. They are the same and they are still working with backup versions of the site.

    edit
    To be more clear it says password was wrong and does the usual animation thing when I use wrong password. but with the right username and password it only reloads the page.
