Broke backend to WordPress after iThemes update

  • After I updated my WordPress sites using the Plugins > Auto Updates, I immediately noticed an incompatibility dialog for iThemes Security plugin. Since I never installed such a plugin my first thought was to go disable the plugin. Disabling the plugin has broken the backend to my WordPress sites and I no longer can get logged in.

  • If you are still having issues, look for this at the top of your wp-config.php file:

    define( ‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true );
    define( ‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true );
    define( ‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, true );

    This fixed the problem for me. Hopefully it helps. I feel your pain, truly.

    It worked fine, but since the latest update, it is broken
