wp site won't recognize my username

  • We are in the process of creating a new site for our client. The URL is https://falconrme.com/newsite and we are using the latest version of wordpress. This site login worked just fine Friday. I am trying to login tonight and it won’t recognize my username. It just reloads the login screen again. No error box. I tried to change the password through phpmyadmin and still nothing. Even tried deleting it totally and recreating it. still nothing. Help please.

    Mine worked fine Friday night. Nothing changed after I logged out. Hmm. Hopefully someone can help both of us.

    I tried every potentially relevant step from here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Login_Trouble

    … including resetting passwords, checking all configs, removing all plugins and themes, but no luck.

    halp!

    I did the same. No luck!

    Did you guys enter the correct e-mail when you created users? If so then you can get the password by trying this:

    If you know your username and the email account in your profile, you can use the “lost password” feature of WordPress.

    Go to your WordPress Login page (something like https://yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-login.php)
    Click on lost password
    You will be taken to a page to put in some details. Enter your user name and the email address on file for that account.
    Wait happily as your new password is emailed to you.
    Once you get your new password, login and change it to something you can remember on your profile page.

    I suggest read this document:

    Good luck.

    Sorry, but that is the first thing that I tried. And, yes. the email is correct. Even double checked in in the database. The password does not seem to be the issue. The login is not recognizing the username.

    i have tried editing my .htaccess file, double checking the URL settings and Home settings in the DB, reset the password, etc.

    Wondering if this could be caused by some subdomain redirect issue?

    OK, in my particular case I have discovered that multi-site was causing this. I set the following to FALSE in wp-config:

    define(‘MULTISITE’, false);
    define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);

    … and that has gotten everything back up and running.

    Now I just need to figure out how to get multi-site working in the future… I think I have some subdomain redirect problem.

    I’m happy that worked for you. I don’t see either one of those in my wp-config file. So, thinking that is not my issue and still would like a solution.
