Theme causing login failure

    Hi there. I’m trying to get this working. My custom theme seems to be the issue. When attempting to login, I always get ERROR or if you try to register someone, you get ERROR. I turned off all other plugins, that wasn’t it. I switched themes, THAT was it. But I have no idea where to start looking for this issue. I’m hoping maybe you’d have an idea what a theme could be doing that would prevent a login/registration. I don’t see this issue with other login widgets – every other login plugin I’ve tried works – so it has to be something very unique that this one does.

    Any ideas about might be suspect would help. Thanks

    Nevermind I figured it out but for anyone else getting the generic ERROR message when attempting to login, here one reason why that might happen…

    I have a function running that prevents users from viewing the back end:

    add_action('admin_init', 'restrict_access_admin_panel', 1);
function restrict_access_admin_panel(){
  global $current_user;
  get_currentuserinfo();
  if ($current_user->user_level <  4) {
    wp_redirect( get_bloginfo('url') );
    exit;
  }
}

    This was causing the issue, probably because of the redirect? I’m not sure.
