Hello, lizvoss, & welcome. It were really better if you’d start your own topic regarding your difficulty, as this thread has been marked ‘resolved’. The only reason I saw it was simply because I either forgot, or was too lazy, to unsubscribe from it. I’d strongly advise you to begin your own thread, but feel free to post a link back here if you’d like me to take a look.
This sounds, however, like a caching plugin issue. Are you using any sort of caching plugin such as w3-total-cache or wp-supercache, or similar? If so, you should inactivate the plugin by renaming it. Appending a 1 or a .old to the folder name using either secure file transfer, such as that found in the Filezilla FTP client, or your hosting provider’s file manager, can accomplish this. Next, please open your wp-config.php file & change the true to false in the following line, leaving the end punctuation marks intact. :
define( ‘WP_CACHE’, true );
will look like:
define( ‘WP_CACHE’, false );
Lastly, please find object-cache.php in your wp-content folder & rename it, i.e., object-cache.ph1. Clear your browser’s cache & cookies & try logging in again. Please let us know how this goes–in your own thread, if you’d be so kind.
