PS. I wonder why your pw stops working… once set it should be good forever essentially. Something else *must* be going on with your web site, your wordpress installation, or server.

That or you’re really bad at remembering passwords ??

On the left of the phpmyadmin screen you should see a list (it may only have one or two items in the list – if so, click the [+] icon to expand the list(s).

Find the database table (from the list you just expanded) and find the wp-users table. Double click wp-users in the list.

(then continue the instructions from a few days ago… aka):

In the main window, click Browse to list all the users. Check the username and email are what you expect them to be. Id they are wrong you can click the pencil to the left of the username and edit the information directly in the database (don’t touch the password) and (make sure ‘save’ is in the drop down menu box bottom left) click go to update the record.

THEN retry resetting password from your wordpress login.

Alternatively, you can also check this article on the topic to change password directly in phpmyadmin (you can’t just type any old thing in there for password):

Yes! Fill out the username with the database name from your godaddy hosting (it should be a long weird looking name if godaddy auto-generated it). Your password for the database is one YOU set when you first installed wordpress.

Once you get “in” to phpmyadmin, follow my directions above.

Keep me posted.

Yep, I’m getting this one too. Is there a particular CHMOD setting we need to have for the image folder or something along those lines.

Smush it is running fine on most sites but not the one with the problematic CHMOD settings (I think).

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

I see you have not been able to get through to try PHPmyadmin. We should give that a try.

When you first setup wordpress it required you to create a database. That database is hosted at godaddy.com, and you can access it through your hosting plan there. WordPress install at godaddy usually generates a database “username” for you. The username for the database will be listed (again) in your godaddy hosting account.

(this is located under godaddy / hosting /hosting management / web hosting / launch / databases / mysql / manageviaphpmyadmin)

A screen will come up. Click [+] on the database to expand the table list. Find and click wp_users near the bottom. In the main window, click Browse to list all the users. Check the username and email are what you expect them to be. Id they are wrong you can click the pencil to the left of the username and edit the information directly in the database (don’t touch the password) and (make sure ‘save’ is in the drop down menu box bottom left) click go to update the record.

THEN retry resetting password from your wordpress login.

Did you try typing your email in the “forgot password” input box instead of just the username?

No, don’t send your pw.

BTW… what is the *NEW* website so I can take a peek?

Thanks

Just out of curiousity… when you setup the *NEW* blog, the admin account required an email address, which is where those recovery emails should be going.

Is there a way for your to check which email addy you used to set as the administrator? Is that something you would be able to find via phpmyadmin?

The other things that come to mind are to temporarily turn off your “spam” or “bulk” email folder settings to be sure the recovery emails aren’t getting routed there.

I’ve subscribed to this post so let me know what you find out (without necessarily posting details like emails and such).

OTG

Where are you hosting your site? Who is your hosting provider? They may be able to walk you through it – and maybe find out where those reset emails are going…

I didn’t even know you could *DO* this….

PS Donncha – you wrote the plugin right?

Statcounter relies on .js but I won’t feel comfortable until it’s been running and working for a few days. I’ll be testing it this weekend.
