@bill : I did check both the entries in database. its the same url as the ‘define’ statements i use. I tried removing the statements, again the website (and dashboard & login pages) become inaccessible, too many redirects.
@st Even : yes; I meant wp-config.php; when I remove that, i cannot access the website or wordpress dashboard. so i had to put back the two ‘define’ statements.
any other ideas where to look?
Then another problem came up :
I copied the URL to login to the database. https://mysql.xxxxx.com on browser. then found i could not logout (sigh). My little knowledge is becoming a dangerous thing. By closing the browser, can I assume the session will time out eventually?
thanks again.
