I will check into other hosting options, thanks

Note to Justin Greer.

Hi Justin,
Is there some way I can send you my site credentials so that you can try?

I installed using FTP

Thanks.

I gave host credentials.

I renamed the plugin folder to disable everything in one shot.

Yes, it was all tried

Like I said in my first post, I checked the forums extensively and found the year old discussions.

I went through all of it and found no help.

Even tried uploading an old wp-login.php and commented out 3 lines to bypass test cookie check.

It didn’t work.

After the site came back up, it still took me over 12 hours to login using Safari because of the cookie problem.

Like I said, I need to use the cache because my site easily fails when I don’t. Just as it did about 14 hours ago when you tried.

It worked for months with the Wordfence falcon cache until about 10 days ago.

Now it does not work with or without the cache.

I read somewhere that the Wordfence caching reduces the need for many database requests and therefore prevents my site from totally crashing.
I don’t see how I can blame the cache. It doesn’t crash when I use it. Should I not use Wordfence?

I get the cookie error after logging in.

This is what happens…

ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress.

I habe cleared the cache hundreds of times and have explained that it was done in my first post

iPage explained that WordPress redirects to install if too many database requests. They said the problem was WordPress not their server.

If you look near the bottom of my sidebar, you will see…
VISITORS ONLINE
Most visitors online at one time were 598 on March 19, 2015 @ 11:33 am
There are 2 Users online now.

The site always fails when I get numbers like that.

I can’t argue as I don’t know about such stuff. They asked me to read a large technival document about that but I hung up on the chat session when they couldn’t just explain it to me and wouldn’t help further.

When I asked “Is that what did it?” they just kept repeating I should read the document.

I initiated the chat with them the first time my site was down and kept redirecting to install screen.

Anyway, that is not my concern now.

I just want Admin access with Chrome and/or FireFox.

Thanks

Update to my first post…

I tuned the Falcon cache back since it didn’t appear to cause the login problem but configured it to not cache the WP test cookie.

Not sure if I did that correctly, but here is the contents of the new htaccess file…

———————————–

There is no change.

Still no access via Chrome or Firefox.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Yes. That also happens far too often. I am told its because I have too many visits and the database can’t keep up.

The fix for that was using the Wordfence falcon cache.

I disabled all the plugins to rule out plugin problems and then of course, my site failed as well.

I re-established the Wordfence cache as I momentarily was allowed to login admin using Safari.

It took over 12 hours of trying to finally login again.

Still can’t use admin with Firefox or Chrome.

Site is ok to check now.
