Deactivation destroys login capability

  • This plugin successfully moved my WordPress installation from one domain to another. I left it activated for the past couple of days, then deactivated assuming that would be ok. Logins would now redirect to the same domain (loop) and then fail. Unable to login as admin, I tried several things, rename plugin directory (failed to solve anything), modify in php the active plugin settings as instructed in the WordPress failure to login procedure (failed to solve the issue, and finally, reinstall WordPress all over again (failed) following the manual installation procedures. It appears that this plugin CANNOT be safely disabled without destroying login capability, so at the present time, it’s dangerous for anyone to install and use.

    I am sorry to hear you are experiencing an issue with the plugin. The plugin does not do anything after import. The error that you’ve encountered must be somewhere else. What let you believe that it was the plugin that caused this?
    You could try enabling WP_DEBUG in wp-config.php and see if the website generates any errors when you try to access wp-admin.
    The redirect could be from a security plugin, try to disable plugins one by one by renaming them in wp-content/plugins directory.
    If all that fails, you can try forcing HOME AND SITE_URL in wp-config.php to see if this will help.
    You can also email us at support at servmask.com and someone from our team can guide you in resolving this issue.

    There is no doubt at all that the All-in-One WP Migration is causing this. After the third restore from backup of the blog to get the site working again, I deactivated every single plugin except All-in-One WP Migration. Logged out, logged back in. Checked to ensure all plugins except All-in-One WP Migration were deactivated, they were. Then I deactivated All-in-One WP Migration and the problem instantly returned, “The page isn’t redirecting properly” and no login is now possible. I then renamed the All-in-One WP folder using FTP, site is still broken with no login possible. Apparently, this plugin is embedding some kind of redirect. Any attempt to deactive it, remove it, rename it creates instant login problems.

    That’s good.

    site is still broken with no login possible.

    Then it’s not the plugin. It just means you’ve not figured out what the problem is.

    You can blame others for your problem via a review if you like, but keep in mind people do read these and you’ve not done the steps to solve your problem.

    Dear SurvivalAcres!
    If You Export ALL included database, you must use the old password (the password You use in the original site)
    This issue occurs in my importation and could be solved with the OLD (original site) password

    Yani Iliev, please add this issue in the faq. Regards
