The host has fixed whatever the problem was. Yeah. Now I need a drink.

It was caused by disabling/deleting the iThemes Security plugin (formerly Better WP Security plugin). It screws up your site when it is disabled. There should be a warning!

Here is the solution:

Open up your wp-config via ftp or cpanel and find the following lines and delete them:

define( ‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true );
define( ‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true );
define( ‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, true );

Save and your login screen should work again.

Did you find a solution? I was troubleshooting other unrelated problems and was turning off plugins to see if there was a conflict. Came to Better WP Security plugin, disabled, and bam. Ugh. Just what I needed to make a big problem a much bigger problem.

Oh geez…how did I miss that? That one thing out of dozens that I tried. lol Thanks so much!

I took off the 100%, but I don’t know where you were seeing scroll bars?

Thanks again!

Hi. No, I didn’t solve it. It’s sort of ok, but not quite perfect. The menu I made can be seen at the top of that page, https://wendycollier.com/newbuild/sample-page/ . This is just a dummy site, so the the page names are weird. I need the background of those items, which at the moment looks slightly highlighted behind one of them, to fit the height of the stripe in the background image. It won’t go any taller. the problem may not be in the code of your plugin, or maybe it is. I don’t know. So that is what I’m asking.
