Mondolizzie!!! Thank you!! For me, it was disabling the WP automatic upgrade plugin!! Can enter the admin panel now! Yippee!!! Thanks everyone who contributed!

(Doodly – like u, my plugin always worked previously. SIGH!!)

Have a good week ahead folks!

Hi Otto42,

Need a bit of guidance. I upgraded to WP2.6.1 once it came out. But my blog got hacked by some spam injection bot on Saturday and upon checking, I realised my secret key was not updated to what it should be in 2.6.1 (was using the one for WP2.5).

I thought everything was resolved after I cleaned up my wp-config.php and added in the correct secret key – i.e. my blog is viewable, and I can post entries using Windows Live Writer.

However, I wanted to go into my admin panel to approve some new comments today and that’s when I realised the wp-login.php just keeps looping. At first I thought I somehow forgot my password so I went to reset it… but it doesn’t work. I’m still looping at that page.

Could you help please? I’ve tried all the methods I can find on this forum – from deleting cookies, to making sure my siteurl is the same as my home value, etc.

Sorry if my questions seem silly but I’m new to this and am trying to understand as much as I can of what I read.

Thanks in advance!

(Btw, my blog at https://uptowngal.org/blog if that’s of any help.

I think I got the same problem as you.

My permalinks (before the 2.6 nightmare) used to be in the format:
https://uptowngal.org/blog/2008/08/19/sample-post/

Then WP 2.6 came and they got all broken and nothing could fix it.

After the upgrade to 2.6.1, they still didn’t work. HOWEVER, by selecting a “Custom Structure” in my permalinks setting page and using:
/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

I now get this:
https://uptowngal.org/blog/index.php/2008/08/19/if-i-could-take-a-pic/

So I get my post name as part of the URL, but there’s this “index.php” there.

Have you figured out why yet??

Good grief! I have no idea why this is happening but I got my permalinks to HALF work.

I tried both solutions here – i.e. “pathinfo” as well as the General settings tinkering thingy. Both didn’t work for me.

Can anyone help please?
