Login problem with 1.5.1.3

  • My apologies if somebody has brought this up before — I can’t imagine nobody has, but I couldn’t find any information. I upgraded from plain 1.5 to 1.5.1.3 the other day, and ever since, I can’t log in. I can get into the control panel with IE, which remembers that I’m logged in (so I just click on Edit Post to get in), but Firefox doesn’t remember me, so I’m out of luck.

    In either IE or Firefox, when I click on my login link, the browser hangs and hangs and hangs some more and eventually just stops trying. I even tried going back to the original 1.5 version of wp-login.php, but no dice.

    Any ideas? Anybody else experience this? For what it’s worth, I’m not 100-percent sure this problem has to do with my upgrade, but the two events seemed to happen at the same time.

  • I’d suggest you clear out your cookies and try again. I just registered and logged in without a hitch (you might want to delete the “test” user)

    Hmmm — clearing cookies got me to the login page, but then the page hung on me when I entered my username and password and hit “login.” This has happened both at home and at work, too, on Windows XP and Windows 2000.

    Hey, I figured it out! Something about the Wysiwyg for WordPress plugin from mudbomb.com (https://mudbomb.com/archives/2005/02/02/wysiwyg-plugin-for-wordpress/), which I installed at the same time as the upgrade, was interfering with the login. I deactivated it and now everything’s fine. Thanks for your help!
