Well, I am now able to log in by using PhpAdmin and making sure that the function for the password is set to MD5.

I am also having the same problem as everyone else. When I was using WP 2.5.1, some browsers on some platforms would work and others wouldn’t, so I agree it seems to be a WordPress issue. Now that I have upgrade to WP 2.6 and moved to a newer server with the latest versions of the LAMP platform, I was originally allowed to log into the admin section, even though my main blog page would never display and instead was a white blank page – not even a 404 error.

But, after I was automatically logged of for some reason, I have never been able to log back on with any browser on any platform.

Tried all the methods suggested above including using phpAdmin to reset the password in the mySQL table on the server, but still unable to log in.

Moved to a new server platform with the latest versions of all LAMP software and the problem seems to be fixed now.

I just moved my blog using WP 2.6 to a new server and was working as the admin, but after getting logged off, I was no longer able to log in under either account I setup for myself. I agree that WP 2.6 seems to be having a lot of major bugs that should have been worked out in beta.

Since it has not been 24 hours for my domain to be transfered to a new IP address, I will give it some time and see if this fixes itself.

I did notice that I had to re-enter the links and link categories, although the rest of my posts and content was exported and imported just fine.

Also, even though my admin pages were working, none of my main blog pages were working.

Re-downloaded and installed WP 2.6 and current version of the plug-in but same problem.

Actually I am now back at WP 2.5 with the latest version of the plug-in and the same thing happens.

I followed the advice in another post and added the following under Settings>Permalinks and it seem to fix the same problem for me:

1) Set Category base to “/category”
2) Set Tag base to “/tag”

Hope that helps

I too have the same problem after upgrading…

Another question is if I handle this using a category such as ‘2008 Asia Travelogue’ it will show up under the categories section in the sidebar so I don’t need to create a special section for ‘Travelogues’ in the sidebar. In addition, the system will create the page https://www.scrstudios.com/blog/index.php/category/travelogue/2006asiatravelogue/
with the appropriate posts.

If instead I create a separate section in the sidebar for ‘Travelogues’, then I need to figure out the proper URL to link to the files. It would also mean that everytime I add a new travelogue I would have to not only create the special page, but also update the sidebar page.

But if I use method one, I would never be createing code and instead making blog entries with the appropriate categories, except for updating the index page to eliminate another index.

Which method do you think is best?

OOps – the reference is href=”https://www.scrstudios.com/blog/2008AsiaTravelogue.php”

I accidently put it in an anchor tag in the above post.

OK, thanks for the info about the status bar showing the id.

But, what URL do I link to for these special pages. I put the file named ‘2008AsiaTravelogue.php’ in the theme folder as suggested and tried linking to it in the sidebar page with but the browser displays a 404 error.

Can I put this file in a subfolder of the theme directory such as ‘/travelogues/’?

I also have another problem of creating the special pages. Do I

1) create these outside of the admin interface with a text editor and saved as regular php files? OR

2) create pages inside of the admin interface?

If I do #1, the browser can’t seem to find the page properly with either sitename.com/blog/specialpage.php. Preferably I would like to put this in a subdirectory inside the blog directory as ….blog/travelogue/specialpage.pho

If I do #2, I can’t seem to add the code <?php query_posts(‘category_name=2006Asia Travelogue”); ?> as it just shows up as regular text with the page is displayed in the browser with no posts.

This is great. My only problem is trying to determine the ID of a post or category since it is not displayed in the interface. I have to keep guessing until I get it right. Is there a way to turn on the id in the admin interface?

I have seen this too on both Safari and Firefox on a Mac. The only solution I have found is to keep trying the link until it works. Sometimes just waiting a few minutes to retry works.
