I spent a few days working on this so I thought i'd share my fixes.</p> <p>I had two seperate issues.</p> <p>1. I was unable to login. Even resetting the password and logging in with the new password kept reverting to the login page. It didn't display any error messages.</p> <p>FIX: The fix that I used was to rename the wp-content/plugins folder to something like wp-content/plugins.old. Then login and rename the folder back to the original name. </p> <p>Even though I followed the instructions to disable all the plugins this didn't help. Renaming the folder was the only way that I could fix this.</p> <p>2. The second problem was that I kept getting a blank homepage. I could get into the admin panel but the homepage showed nothing.</p> <p>FIX: Login to the wordpress admin panel. Click on design and check to see what Theme wordpress is using. In my instance it was totally blank, even though the wp-content/themes had a theme installed. All I did was uploaded and activated another theme. This then fixed the problem. I was also able to revert to my previous theme.</p> <p>Hope this helped someone. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189172/page/2#post-862905 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 13:06:22 +0000 simonr 862905@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I had a really wierd one! The failure for me only happened several weeks after my upgrade, between one longin and the next. I tried all the usual stuff, then deleted ALL the plugin files using my ftp program and things were fine.</p> <p>I've no idea why, because putting the plugins back in place hasn't screwed anything up.</p> <p>Odd!</p> <p>Simon </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189172/page/2#post-855792 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 21:34:38 +0000 mores 855792@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>drluckyspin's solution helped me with my problem with safari.<br /> go to <a href="http://www.domain.com/wp-login.php?action=logout" rel="nofollow">http://www.domain.com/wp-login.php?action=logout</a><br /> Then log in again.

That was my case and in reading the threads on this, that's the case for a lot of other people too. There are clearly similar but different problems. Obviously, if it fails in more than one browser then it's not a cookie issue. Not sure why anyone would think it was. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189172/page/2#post-828170 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 14:18:50 +0000 DenisLafont 828170@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Same problem while upgrading my site on <a href="http://www.opensource-it.com">Enterprise open source softtare</a>.</p> <p>The "clear private datas" trick did not work.<br /> The problem was that I did not desactivate plugins.<br /> To solve the problem in in such cases:</p> <p>- Connect to your database ( via PhpMyAdmin for example)<br /> - Find the wp_options-&gt;active_plugins row<br /> - Edit it, and put:<br /> a:0:{}</p> <p>in that row.</p> <p>Solved the problem for me. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189172/page/2#post-825800 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 15:44:41 +0000 SirKillelort 825800@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>That doesn't change anything.

Folks, when deleting cookies in Opera, DO NOT use the cookies|manage cookies button. Instead, go to the Content dialog and use Manage Site preferences. Edit or add your site there, then use the cookies tab to find and delete the cookies. Once I did that, everything worked again.</p> <p>Hope this helps some poor soul. There seem to be a lot of variations on this problem, but it's clear to me that many of them are caused by persistent cookies.</p> <p>We hatesss cookieses. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189172/page/2#post-825039 Sat, 09 Aug 2008 04:01:34 +0000 turtletrax 825039@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I manage three blogs. The first one (my test blog) upgraded with no issues. The second one resulted in the damned redirect back to the login page loop. I looked here and saw that someone had solved the problem by deleting cookies. I did this (Opera 9.5) and got back in.</p> <p>Today I upgraded the third blog. Same bloody loop. Aha, says I, I can fix this. I deleted cookies. Same loop. Deleted cookies, cache, restarted Opera. Same loop. Tried Firefox 3.0. Got on without a problem. Went to my second machine, used Opera 9.5. Logged in without a problem! Back to the machine where I need to login. Same &#38;$&amp;#@&#38;* loop. Read some more here. Tried the wp-admin.php?logout trick. Doesn't work.</p> <p>I tried carefully checking cookies after each step. First I deleted the cookie. I tried to login, got a cookie. Deleted it. Did not work, wound up with a new cookie. Tried the logout fix, checked the cookies: logged in cookie was gone, test cookie still there. Tried to login, same [expletive deleted] loop. Cookie from hell was back.</p> <p>I'm out of ideas. Clearly this is Opera fighting with WordPress, but I can't tell who's at fault. Thought about hacking wp-login.php but after looking at it, gave up on that idea unless I get really desperate. That could be any time now, this is my wife's blog and she's getting really impatient. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189172/page/2#post-824545 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 13:20:39 +0000 SirKillelort 824545@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I am using Opera 9.51 on a Vista machine, and I also tried Firefox 3 - I have the same problem and cannot log in anymore.
