I did a live chat with HostGator and I was told to type in /wp-login.php at the end instead of /wp-admin. It worked, I was able to get into my Dashboard, but can’t navigate anywhere once I’m in there, I end up with an Error 404 nonexistent page.
So, I don’t know what’s going on, but I sure wish they’d fix it!
I’m having the same problem. I looked at other requests for help for this issue but still can’t translate the answers. (Plus I do not think it worked for those people.)
I’m used to just typing in “wp-admin” at the end of my domain name to login. If the fix is more complex than that please give it to me in steps because I have no clue about php and changing passwords….
Thanks!
Thank you, zain68! 🙂
That worked for me (and I use Hostgator too)!
I spoke to HG a bit ago, and the problem is a mod_security rule that has been activated. They were able to fix it over the phone for me in about 10 minutes, but I think the fix is at an account or server level, so others having this problem may need to call in as well.
Hi,
You need to remove the unwanted code from htaccess of the blog and add this code in htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Now, check with blog posts and pages.
Thanks,
Shane G.
