• I’ve installed WordPress 1.5.1 and can’t log in. I click log in with the right credentials and it sets the wordpresspass_ cookie then it redirects me to wp-admin/. There it performs auth_redirect() and redirects me back to wp-login.php where I started.

    I’ve tried everything I’ve seen suggested in the forums / wiki but nothing works :-(.

    If you want to try it, https://sirg3.homeip.net/~allison/ — admin / temp01 for login info.

    I’ve tested that other scripts can get / set cookies fine. https://sirg3.homeip.net/~allison/test-redirect.php (it sets the cookie, then sets the location header to test.php, then test.php reads the cookie).

  • the reupload did not work, I will try the siteurl thing tomorrow…

    I havn’t logged in to my site in a few weeks and low and behold, I too can not login in. Site is

    https://server15.totalchoicehosting.com/~discover/wp/

    when I login in it redirects me back to the wp-login.php with the following url variables: redirect_to=%2F%7Ediscover%2Fwp%2Fwp-admin%2F

    1. I checked the site url –it is fine.
    2. Deleted password, and recreated
    3. setup new ID and password ( with correct hash per codex instructions)
    4. Deleted wp-admin directory and root of site and reuploaded with fresh download of wp. verstion 1.5.2?
    5. Deleted cookies.
    6. Tried new wp-login.php script from codex.

    NOTHING IS WORKING. HELP!!!!! It was working a few weeks ago and nothing changed. Is it time to move over to the dreaded MT?

    Server info:

    Operating system Linux
    Kernel version 2.4.29-grsec
    Apache version 1.3.33 (Unix)
    PHP version 4.3.11

    Just solved my problem!
    **** IMPORTANT if you use Zone Alarm *******

    If you use zone alarm personal firewall, it will cause the login issues noted above. I was able to login from work and edit my blog. However I couldn’t do it from home. I disabled Zone Alarm and it worked!!!.

    I hope this helps some of the frustrated people who have run into the “can’t login” issue.

    Hi

    I have found what the issue is with this:

    1) You may have added this site to the “blocked cookie list” – delete it from there
    IE: tools > internet options > privacy > sites > look under managed sites
    If your site is there, delete it

    2) Make sure your browser is accepting cookies for this site
    Between the login and the re-direct to the correct admin page it seems like WP reads
    the cookie, if it ain’t there, it will just redirect to the wp-admin page again
    IE: tools > internet options > privacy > sites > in address of website type your
    url with https:// in front and click “allow”

    3) Test by setting your security level to low.
    IE: tools > internet options > privacy > drag lever down to “accept all cookies”

    You may need to apply just 1 or all of them for it to work.

    Hope you get it working & God Bless
