Can't login anymore

  • I don’t know exactly what version of wordpress this site is using. I put the site up for a friend, and there were never any problems, but now when you log in, it takes you back to the log in screen. There were no updates done, so I don’t know how it just stopped working. I did have some plugins that redirected you from the login screen to a certain page, but I deleted them through ftp and still nothing. Ideas?

  • I have done a complete reinstall from the last daily backup (it was working until shortly before I posted here, so it should work).

    The site appears, but Dashboard doesn’t.

    Aaannnd I can’t reinstall WordPress either. I don’t want to uninstall it and find I have lost everything.

    My website goes to:
    /wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fsharelearn-do.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
    Yours goes to:
    /wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fevolvingthoughts.net%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

    Hmm… anyone have any idea?

    I FIXED IT!

    AND I FEEL LIKE A BOSS.

    Hahaha. Alright, so this is what I did.

    I went to my site.com/cpanel

    Logged in.

    Clicked phpMyAdmin

    Clicked siteName_database

    Clicked wp_options

    Scrolled down and put in “50 row(s) starting from record #0”

    Look at record number 3 and record number 39 (at least in my installation) The names of these records was “siteurl” and “home”

    I edited “home” to be the exact same as “siteur” (it was missing “www”)

    Saved, and it works now. Let me know if you have trouble following these instructions.

    Does anyone know why this might’ve happened?

    Also, let me know if this helped solve your issue.

    EDIT So doing that lets me see the dashboard and my homepage, but clicking my other tabs gives me an error.

    EDIT 2I just remembered that I deleted my .htaccess page when troubleshooting this issue. I put it back on the server and now my other tabs work. Perfect.

    Nada. I don’t have that database listed.

    Found it, but made no difference. Also restored from a week old backup with no luck.

    It’s Chrome! Works with Safari…

    Time to clear some caches and cookies.
