I forgot to follow up with this last week when all this happened.

I found a really easy great fix, that has worked for me, and another person so far.

So – the problem seems like a partial upgrade from WPAU, even though it looked like WPAU completed everything fine.

In the end I did the following:

1)renamed plugins folder to plugins-old
2)made a new plugins folder
3)when logining into https://www.myblog.com/wp-admin I got a notice saying that my database was out of date, and it had to be updated. I did the update
4)I could now login again. I downloaded the latest versions of the plugins I used – only Askimet (sp) really, and job done.

OK.. you are starting to convince me.

So – a friend has pointed me to this:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Login_Trouble

I tried the cache/cookies thing.. no luck. The next one is the renaming of the plugins folder.

I rename the folder to old, and make a new plugins folder.

when I try to goto my wp-admin page, I get the following message:

Database Upgrade Required
Your WordPress database is out-of-date, and must be upgraded before you can continue.

The upgrade process may take a while, so please be patient.

I am now wondering what to do.. I don’t want to go ahead and upgrade the database, and then screw up my whole blog, and stop it from working.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers!

EEEEK, that really scares me to be honest – the whole upgrade thing via FTP makes me worry..

Does anyone have more info on this?

WPAU got through its update, and just before it was going to turn on my plugins, I had to click a link (I forget the exact wording). I had to login again there, and that is where all the problems started. I couldn’t log back in.

I have cleared cookies, and still cannot log back in. I tried resetting my password, and when I stamp that new password in, it just reloads the login page, with no errors or anything.

Any help would be awesome!

OK, I just tried this, and I still cannot log in – I just get (two of them actually) “incorrect password”.. when I know that it isn’t.

I tried deleting cookies on this machine, then tried logging in on another machine that has never been used for my blog stuff – so certainly no cookie issues there – no use.

Can anyone else help?

Further info – it seems like the auto update didn’t fully complete? It said that everything was done, then I had to click a link, and it would take me back to my control panel, and then it would turn on my plugins again.. I don’t think they are on because I am getting a bunch of spam comments – so the spam filter plugin certainly isn’t on.

If anyone else can shed more light on this..
