Can't login to backend

  • We have a subdomain install of 3.01 without the use of the domain mapping plugin. We didn’t have wildcard access, so we mapped the domains manually.

    Everything works great except for using the “backend” link on the new sites. Like I stated, everything maps properly and the login comes up but will not authenticate. It simply returns to the login page.

    We have tried multiple browsers, so the cache is not the issue.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Look on the server. When you created manual subdomains, did it create a folder? If so, that’s the issue. the subdomain should point to the main install.

    Hey, Andrea. Thanks for the reply.

    I don’t see any new folders. Out of curiosity, I went ahead and created another new site. Interestingly, the backend was accessible until I went into “Edit” and changed the domain to the alias (with “Update siteurl and home as well” checked). This makes everything copacetic except for the “Backend” link. The href of the link isn’t changing. I think WP just doesn’t like the alias in the domain. I am obviously missing something that tells it where the admin is located. Trying to get to the admin via the subdomain (obviously) doesn’t work either.

    I hope that makes sense without being verbose…

    , the backend was accessible until I went into “Edit” and changed the domain to the alias (with “Update siteurl and home as well” checked).

    Why? ??

    Are you trying to use full domains? Use the plugin.
