Yes, the file is there.

I’ve renamed the plugins folder and it does nothing as far as allowing access to the login.

This is another tricky thing. I’ve renamed the active them folder and even changed the active theme in the database to twentyfourteen – and when I do that, I get the white screen of death – but if I switch back to the active theme, then website works, but I’m back at square 1 and the login won’t work

Yes, renamed it, deleted it, restored it. I have no idea what’s going on. Most of the other topics related seem to be from 4-6 years ago. Any ideas?

I have a backup, but I’m pretty sure I would experience the same issues. I did a fresh install of WordPress, and I’m still getting the same results. Nothing has changed in the htaaccess file and everything looks fine.

No security plugins. I was actually trying to login to install a security plugin, which is ironic.

Any other suggestions? Not sure where to go from here. I’ve had 2 programmers look at it and they don’t know what is wrong either, but neither are very familiar with WP.
