thanks laliz. I actually had a dev site and ran a full test first, but under my admin account, so I didn’t notice the /wp-login conflict until I pushed it live and thought it was successful – until I received forum access complaints – so that’s how my day started. I’m in the process of rolling back to my old version and database from pre-upgrade on my production site and will be troubleshooting back on my dev site.
I have already deactivated all of my plugins, manually uploaded the upgrade package (everything from fresh install with the exception of /wp-content where I only overwrote the basics like index.php)
I also deactivated my theme and turned on 2015. Even with a fresh manual install, all plugins deactivated, theme set to 2015 – the same issue persists.
Debugging flipped on plus error log only shows some php notices, no warnings.
/wp-login/ is kicking a 404 but /wp-login.php works
BUT even if logged in via wp-login.php the bbpress forums nor blog pages will recognize the logged in user. However, the user can navigate to /wp-admin/ and see their dashboard…?
admins are not affected, they can login correctly, and stay logged in while on site, and do connect properly with integrated applications.
Any ideas?
