Can’t log in to my dashboard.

  • Recently I had to clear my browser cookies and cache and all that good stuff, well since, I was no longer signed into my wordpress site. When I went to log in, it asked for my username and password, which I entered correctly. When I pressed submit, I got a blank page.

    I’ve tried this with my other browser too, and I’ve even tried creating another blog. It all leads me to a blank page. If I enter an incorrect password, I get an incorrect password error.

    Any ideas? I’m completely stumped. And a bit upset! ha

  • I think I have found the reason.
    Firstly, the method proposed by VxJasonxV is very smart!
    “Log in. (even if it does glitch, just log in)
    Go back to your homepage and refresh (+clear cache but not cookies).
    Click on any edit post button.”

    I follow the steps, and really go into the dashboard. In the dashboard, I can post, admin or anything else, except opening the index.php, which is just the page after logged in. So the problem is the index.php file! But I can’t solve it. Who can help us???

    You can try replacing it with my Dashboard replacement with the added benefit that it will be faster ??

    very good!
    Thanks, angsuman

    Just for inforamation and hopefully of some use: I had this same problem …….logged on and was faced with a blank screen.

    I had installed two plugins the day before and wondered if that is where the problem lies. Both plugins had been activated and on shut-down the previous day there was no cause for any concern.

    The cure was to FTP my blog folders and change the plugins PHP suffix to PHPS.

    On retry, logon worked fine and without any glitches.

    Hope this helps. :o))

    p.s. I won’t be using or re-activating the two new plugins. :((

    Hi
    Same problem. I unfortunately deleted all my plugins (should have just renamed them.

    I had installed widgets over blix template and it worked ok for a while.

    The blog works fine, but can’t access the login page. It’s not a pw problem because the system tells me if I put in an incorrect password.

    Angsuman – if I download your dashboard replacement, will that fix it?

    Hmmm,
    Buddha is good to me. The problem fixed itself I think. wish I hadn’t deleted the widgets, content and plugins though.

    Hi There All

    It wasn’t Buddha who fixed it, it was my web host https://www.spiralhost.com/ They rock!
    Here’s what they say

    ” The blank pages was a problem with the WordPress script. The following is from your eroor log:

    [Fri May 05 03:00:08 2006] [error] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/httpd/vhosts/marilyn.com.au/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/blix/functions.php:11) in /home/httpd/vhosts/marilyn.com.au/httpdocs/wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php on line 274

    We have fixed the problem with the /home/httpd/vhosts/marilyn.com.au/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/blix/functions.php script.”

    I have no idea what all this means, but I am eternally grateful to a web host that cares.

    I’m having the same problem Buck100 mentioned. As of yesterday I’m having trouble logging into Dashboard with my password. I tried resetting the password and after several trials was able to get the new one it generated to work. I logged in with the new temp password, changed it back to my old one and was able to manage things fine.

    That was yesterday, I had to reboot at night, then this morning I’m having the same problem and have tried to generate a new pasword several times. I had my webhost (bluehost) try as well and they were able to get in with with the new password. They changed it back to the original and then neither of us could log-in once they exited. We tried generating a new password and still no luck. I’m completely locked out.

    This is not the blank page that some have described fixes for above. This is the myurl.com/wp-admin.php page showing me the login and it telling me I’m using the incorrect password.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    I found way how to fix dashboard:

    Open /wp-admin/index.php in editor with UTF coding
    Add at begining of file ob_start();
    Add at end of file ob_end_flush();
    save and copy back.

    It fix header bug.

    I am having dashboard issues as well. I cleared my cache and had no luck gaining access. I tried entering via editing a post and I got this error:

    Process limit exceeded for uid 10632 [24 >= 24].

    Any idea what this means? The blog can be found at: https:///www.craigmolway.com/blog

    My main site is still up. Please help.

    if I had to guess, and you could confirm this by looking at your apache error logs, you need to configure PHP to have more memory.

    ok that’s a start. Any suggestions on how this is done?

    Either by directly editing your php.ini file or contacting your host. In php.ini you’re looking for the memory_limit parm.
