    I have tried to access my wp-admin page as I do almost daily for this one site & this is the first time I cannot login.

    I tried some manual things in the ftp, such as:

    1) Changed the plugins folder name. Still could not login as W3 Total Cache showed errors on the wp-admin screen

    2) Changed the folder name of each plugin individually & tested wp-admin screen in between each folder name change. After completing that at no point did I get the wp-admin screen to work.

    3) Overwrote my .htaccess page with:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    This broke my front end of the site & the wp-admin. So no pages came up at all.

    – So now I am stuck & not sure what to try next. The last time I logged in was 48 hours ago & all worked fine. Any ideas?

    I also tested my site at http://www.sucuri.net & no detections came up with that.

    I ended up changing my theme folder to -old and it allowed me into the admin. Once logged in I removed -old from theme folder, logged out & the wp-admin screen showed up again.

    So I am in which is great.

    Only question I have left would be what typically causes this?

    Sounds like you have a dodgy theme. What theme are you using? Where did you download it from?

    Responsive by CyberChimps. Running a child theme with it as well. Weird thing is I have been using that theme for over a year now on multiple sites & only this one site has the login issue.

    I know there is a new version which I have to update it to later today, but that should not have been why it caused the admin to lock out.

    I will keep an eye on it.

    As per the theme developer’s request, try asking about this in the theme’s dedicated forum: http://cyberchimps.com/forum/free/responsive/
