Can’t log in after upgrade from 2.5.1 to 2.6

    Hi all, I have just updated to version 2.6 and in theory the upgrade went well. When I try to login I get this screen.

    I have also tried to change the password but I still can’t login.

    Any ideas?

  • I took bookchiq’s advice and it worked like a charm!

    thanks, this worked for me as well, just a hassle that i had to re active my plugins (having to pick out which ones were active and which were not)

    Hi. I’m sure you’ll all thank me for this! The problem is not cookies or cache as some would believe. It is with the .htaccess file in your root directory. WordPress seems to get confused and won’t let you login.

    Here’s how to fix the situation:

    1. Delete the .htaccess file from your live site

    2. Login in to your site and go to ‘Settings’ and make sure you’ve got ‘www.’ infront of both addresses of your blog.

    3. Logout properly

    4. Re-upload your .htaccess file on your live site in the root

    5. Now go to your blog and login!

    This worked for me and hopefully for you and will save any heartattack moments after upgrading.

    Love to all

    Paul
