I have a blog installed with a registered domain but can get only as far as the Hello World page.

(this offered the best clue, as the editing didn't seem to work and it just kept defaulting to the original values like it was somehow locked). None of this has worked. ??? I'm currently trying to update from 2.5.1 to 2.8, but in the past have had the same problem, which is why I haven't updated in so long. After having a similar problem with 2.7x, I reinstalled 2.5.1 which worked. I seem permanently stuck in 2.5.1! The website itself (www.helifreewasatch.com) is currently viewable with 2.8, but as I can't log in and update it, it is a moot point. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

My login page would just keep reloading and not doing anything, and not giving any error messages. Then I found this script for emergency wordpress login - and it worked like a charm... <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password</a> scroll to bottom of the page for information on the emergency script mmendez on "Can't login" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/203169/page/2#post-1094849 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 02:25:32 +0000 mmendez 1094849@http://wordpress.org/support/ And don't forget, once that you are able to log, look under "Appearance", click on "Widgets" and make sure to add the "Meta" widget. This will help you to log in from your Blog at anytime. Just write your Blog address (where your Blog is located in the Internet) and you will see the link for you to log in. odeliska on "Can't login" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/203169/page/2#post-1065125 Tue, 05 May 2009 08:29:53 +0000 odeliska 1065125@http://wordpress.org/support/ huntllc!

After installing I was unable to initialize a login. I keep getting a cleared and fresh wp-login.php page. I have tried all of the solutions...hopefully correctly...and have not gotten any results. I even tried Thomas' solution: Clearing cookies, cache etc, didn't solve anything. Since I still had FTP access I tried the following: 1. via ftp rename "wp-content" > "plugins" to "1.plugins" 2. create new dir "plugins" 3. login to wp (which now worked for me) 4. via ftp remove empty "plugins" created in step 2 5. and rename "1.plugins" back to "plugins" but this didn't solve my problem. I had an issue with my phpbb3 install also but found that initial usernames can NOT be in CAPS. I thought WP would be the same. I am illiterate of MySQL and Coding but believe I have followed the steps as suggested. Any other suggestions? EDIT: also, when I go to my blog I get an error: Redirect Loop Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

Renaming the plugin directory. Thanks. misternifty on "Can't login" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/203169/page/2#post-1022765 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 02:16:50 +0000 misternifty 1022765@http://wordpress.org/support/ This happened to me when I upgraded via FTP while being logged in. I had to go to the Meta Login and click logout and everything turned out fine after that. It was very frustrating. Chances are, you are still logged in. Try using another browser, or clearing cookies and sessions. matius on "Can't login" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/203169/page/2#post-990246 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 17:12:08 +0000 matius 990246@http://wordpress.org/support/ If it wasn't so frustrating it'd be the kind of funny where tears shoot out like sparks. vegasrenie on "Can't login" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/203169/page/2#post-988223 Mon, 16 Feb 2009 22:11:31 +0000 vegasrenie 988223@http://wordpress.org/support/ Silly solution, but it works for me. Instead of going to yoursite/wp-admin, try yourside/wp-login.php. With the help of my hosting company, we stumbled on this. What a pain. But at least I can log in! ouch on "Can't login" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/203169#post-979703 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 18:39:15 +0000 ouch 979703@http://wordpress.org/support/ I was fine until i upgraded to 2.7. now i have this problem in a bunch of blogs. you're stuck having to upgrade b/c of all the open hole security breaches. i know b/c i was hacked. still can't figure this out. vegasrenie on "Can't login" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/203169#post-916142 Sat, 06 Dec 2008 03:26:30 +0000 vegasrenie 916142@http://wordpress.org/support/ Thomas' solution doesn't work for me. Is there anything else? eurotheater on "Can't login" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/203169#post-914486 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 03:21:04 +0000 eurotheater 914486@http://wordpress.org/support/ I haven't logged in for several months. I hadn't installed any plugins recently. Today I cannot login. I use safari and when I goto my podcast, <a href="http://www.ryanstatespodcast.com," rel="nofollow">www.ryanstatespodcast.com,</a> I get a malware warning page. I go anyway and click login. I may have forgotten my username/password combination, so I click "forgot password". But wordpress no longer recognizes my email address??? When I typed the username it said to check my email for new password, but they haven't sent me anything. I checked all old email addresses and spam folders too. I'd rather use a service that has customer services even if it costs a lot because I can't afford to lose literally DAYS to typical wordpress problems. Can anybody recommend something better? -Ryan States <a href="mailto:eurotheater@yahoo.com">eurotheater@yahoo.com</a> lamar-1111 on "Can't login" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/203169#post-913688 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 05:06:25 +0000 lamar-1111 913688@http://wordpress.org/support/ Oh my goodness.

Really can't believe this is still an issue. Hope it doesn't happen when 2.7 is out... hgrebe on "Can't login" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/203169#post-909800 Thu, 27 Nov 2008 23:13:33 +0000 hgrebe 909800@http://wordpress.org/support/ I just encountered this bug, and the moving of the plugins folder resolved it. Terrible waste of time! Shame on Wordpress. bimo on "Can't login" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/203169#post-899683 Sat, 15 Nov 2008 21:40:23 +0000 bimo 899683@http://wordpress.org/support/ I ran the wp-upgrade plugin and after it upgraded eveything and logged me out, I couldn't get back in. But I followed the advice top rename the plugins directory and create a new empty plugins directory and I successfully logged in and completed the db upgrade.

There is so much traffic on this condition that I wonder if we don't have a 2.6.3 reinstall bug here. My topic: (with no replies): "Upgraded, now can't login to admin AND articles missing" I would say that the issue described by me and posters above is not resolved. braddley5 on "Can't login" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/203169#post-892870 Fri, 07 Nov 2008 03:42:38 +0000 braddley5 892870@http://wordpress.org/support/ Renaming the plug-in folder didn't work for me!

But Thomas's method worked for me, so thanks so much! also, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke I logged out and back in again and it was working just fine, so if nothing else worked yet, try this! just remember to reactivate any plugins you had before, or you'll get errors jeremyheslop on "Can't login" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/203169#post-859948 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 04:44:27 +0000 jeremyheslop 859948@http://wordpress.org/support/ Thanks Thomas! moving plugins directory worked for me! thomascim on "Can't login" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/203169#post-859606 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 20:44:39 +0000 thomascim 859606@http://wordpress.org/support/ Hi, I had the same problem with my blog (<a href="http://www.geekynomad.com">geekynomad.com</a> version 2.6.2). Clearing cookies, cache etc, didn't solve anything. Since I still had FTP access I tried the following: 1. via ftp rename "wp-content" > "plugins" to "1.plugins" 2. create new dir "plugins" 3. login to wp (which now worked for me) 4. via ftp remove empty "plugins" created in step 2 5. and rename "1.plugins" back to "plugins" For me this solved the problem. Best regards, Thomas
