   I first cleared the cache and cookies. Initially it didn’t work, i couldnt stop the log in loop. This was because i had redirected the url to a sub directory using .htaccess.

   I then had to delete the .htaccess file i had updated and created a new copy of it.

   After that i was able to log in my wp-admin. Then i went to settings to customise the permalinks settings tag base to the name of the subdirectory i had placed the wordpress installation so that my other pages besides the home page could work. Hope it helps

   I’m able to log into WP Admin and then go to visit site and edit and browse from there on Internet Explorer. However on both google chrome and Safari, when I hit “Visit Site” it just takes me back to the admin login page again.. and again etc. I’ve tried everything and I’m just not understanding why it’s letting me get on with life in Internet Explorer but not Google Chrome/Safari. If someone replies to this, thanks for thought and time in advance!

   Hi,
   On my side, the limitation came from a MySQL limitation of 100 Mb in my formula (which I did not know). After having reduced it, I could have access again to WP-admin.

   All above did not work for me.

   I migrated from 5.6 php to 5.4php hosting

   I then changed the new hosting to 5.6php then did migrate again, it worked.

   Hi. I tested every things but not worked for me.
   I wanted to create a backup from DirectAdmin but it appears an error in between backing up. It says the wp_usermeta is crashed and repair is not helpful for it.
   So I opened the SSH and after login to server, I writed:
   cd /var/lib/mysql/[DATABASE NAME]
   and then:
   myisamchk -r -v -f wp_usermeta
   So this table is fixed and my users can login after this.
   If you haven’t access to SSH you should contact your hosting support.
   I hope it will be useful

   After entering my login details, wp will reload and it wont redirect me to my dashboard. I then read through your guidelines. I tried everything and it was not working for me. The worst is that when I got to the step of delete htaccess, i did it and i started receiving 404 Not Found error on my login page. Please assist

   One-man-show, do it yourself-er here… non computer wiz, banging my head against the wall for 4 days trying to fix this problem. Tried everything on this list, messed with my .htaccess and wp-config files a hundred different ways (which deleting all the .htaccess files worked for a second, until I resaved by permalink settings). . Also of importance was that I had used been using cloudflare for CDN purposes. Lastly, my problems coincided with switching hosting. So after trying everything here and about 1.5 hours on the phone with tech support at my hosting, it ended up being that I had a conflict with the www CNAME record. I serve my site as www and apparently the CNAME record with my new (actually original) host was still pointing at cloud flare. I “paused” my site with cloud flare, and updated the www CNAME record in my web host’s cPanel’s Advanced DNS Zone Editor by removing the (mynamerserver.cloudflare) from the end of themysite.mynameserver.cloudflare.com. Now the www CNAME is simply named mysite.com. Viola! Logged back in and all is good. Phew! On to the next fire, which is now that some of my navigation links on my site are 404-ing…but that’s for another thread. Thanks for this page and the active nature of this site, has already helped me fix/learn a ton.
   Cheers!

    Another possibility is that your disk space is full. WordPress login will fail silently if this is the case.

    Since installing SSL 10 days ago we’re unable to log in to the WordPress blog (all the WP files sit in that directory). The login credentials are accepted but the login page redirects back to itself with fields empty, We’ve tried everything- including everything mentioned in this article:

    (Below the last of recommended fixes. The ‘x’ means they were tried to no effect)

    x Clear Cookies to Resolve Login Issues

    x Deactivate All Plugins

    (x*) Revert Back to the Default Theme (there was no problem following a theme change 2 months ago)

    x Delete .htaccess File

    x Update Site URL (add these to wp-config.php)
    define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://example.com’);
    define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://example.com’);
    (Did those with no effect)

    We’re at our wits end with this. Would really appreciate some help. Remember we can only access the ftp files, not the WP admin area.
    If nothing else, can we make a new blog and transfer several years of critical posts to the new one? Or do a re-install of WP via FTP? Please help!

      Hi Stephen,

      After successfully installing SSL, your WordPress site should be using https instead of http. Please try adding these lines to wp-config.php file

      define('WP_HOME','https://example.com');
      define('WP_SITEURL','https://example.com');

    Hi,

    I have the same issue you outline in this post, however I’m also getting a “This site is not Secure” flag from Google which I was able to bypass through the ‘Advanced Options’ under the warning. I’ve tried all of the above with no luck. Even adjusting my website url in the PHPmyadmin tool hasn’t stopped me from being redirected.

    Is there something else that has gone wrong here further than what you describe above, or is the Google security warning common with this issue?

    Thanks a ton!

My site is set up on WordPress, on a temp URL while I’m still building it. Using RT them 19. Been using it no problem for a while, but now I can’t access the site using my usual user name and password. Keeps saying not valid”

    Also, above the log in area there are a whole lot of lines that look like this.

    Only 1 looks like this
    Warning: ksort() expects parameter 1 to be array, object given in /home/content/html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/template-functions.php on line 316

    i can’t log in. wordpress won’t accept my name, my password. won’t allow me to create a new reader account under a different address or name. i am completely locked out and have lost hundreds of feeds. i am NOT a blogger – only a follower, and wordpress seems only interested in bloggers, with little or no support for followers. i have tried changing my password several times and even when brand-new, it will not be accepted. i have called the phone number and have gotten either no answer or a message telling me that the number is no longer in service. i am so frustrated i just want my feeds back so i can export them to someplace else.

    Took a bit to figure out how to do it but it worked perfectly. Thanks!

    (BTW you can just do it through cpanel – file manager – and edit the code.)

    I had the same problem on multiple migrated websites and none of the above stated solutions seemed to work.

    My problem arises from the fact that each time I do the migration, I create a totally new Word Press users who don’t have any posts or pages assigned to them.

    The thing with the wp-login.php (for my case) is it was redirecting me to the homepage as I didn’t have any content assigned to the user.

    Solution, went to the wp-posts table and assigned one article to the new user using userID (you will find this in your wp-users table)

    solved the problem

    The redirect problem occurred for me after the DNS DDoS attack on Oct 21, 2016.

    I found a simple solution by including an admin page in the login path such as:

    yourdomain.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php

    Login with this directed right to the menu panel.
    After logout, I was able to login normally with just /wp-admin.

    Don’t know why, but it worked!

    You are a superstar. Was really getting frustrated with other tips and guides. I followed your tips, 1 by 1. Nothing worked until the last one using the 2 define statements. In my case, I did a DNS update 72 hours ago. The DNS propagated to most locations within 12-24 hours, but the wp-admin completely failed. I used md5/password update via phpadmin from your other blog tip (also excellently written and illustrated) and was still having no joy so followed this guide as second step. As soon as I did it, the password invalid message then displayed after a test login. Then the password reset link started working also which did not work after all prior error checks. The reset mail was received and worked fine and all stable again. Really really appreciate you putting this together as you just sorted me out big time. Thanks. Niall

    I run around 10 websites and never came across this problem until today. I closed my WordPress site by mistakes whilst doing a long edit. Not sure if this was the issue but on opening Firefox again an trying to login to WordPress i kept being redirected. I noticed i still got an error for logging in incorrectly.

    I set off to work to try and find a solution. Renamed theme folders plugins got rid of cache. Nothing worked. I decided this has to be a problem with the .htacess file. Now the problem you have is most sites that you go through a cpanel will not show this file. So grab something like filezilla. To find it. I re uploaded the exact same one to the server and it’s all back to normal must have been a brain fart…. just seems odd that exact same file has fixed the problem.

    I had this problem when a site was built a long time ago without using wordpress secret-keys in the wp-config.php file.

    When I added the secret keys to wp-config.php as part of upgrading the site’s security I was not able to login (even after trying all of the above fixes) and it seemed that the login page was just refreshing instead of bringing me to the wordpress dashboard.

    To solve the login-refreshing problem, I temporarily went back to my old wp-config.php file without the secret-keys and was able to log in.

    Excellent tutorial. Easy to figure out and best of all, following the instructions enabled me to solve my problem quickly!

    Turns out a plug-in was the culprit so by renaming the plugin folder I was able to deactivate them all and sign in. (Good thing to know for the future.) I then added them back one by one to determine which plugin was causing the problem.

    One thing … please don’t laugh … you have to double click on the plugin folder name to change it. I was right clicking on it to try to rename it (as you do in Windows file explorer) … minor detail I forgot about.

        The database has a total limit of 1024MB… but it used 1288MB and this caused the problem.
        After erasing the content of the database-fields of all of the three plugins and reconfiguring the settings of them, the login was functioning till today…

        Best Regards
        Georg

    Now of this works……. i suspect the database because when comparing it to default wp install AUTO_INCREMENT is missing from the “extra” column on my database
