jrstaatsiiiWe are hosting our WP site on GoDaddy. Since we already had a live site (apexmountainschool.COM), we built the WP site on apexmountainschool.NET. The .COM version of the site was pointed to another server.
If you are familiar with GoDaddy, you'll know that you can fairly easily point a domain to the primary hosting account, so that is what we did once we completed the site on .NET -- we pointed the primary hosting to .COM
The site (apexmountainschool.com) is now live and it works. However, when I attempt to login, the page is refreshed but does not advance to /wp-admin. Rather it resolves back to the same page only now resolves to the www. location. It does this without an error message, and without mentioning that the username or password is incorrect.
I read this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Login_Trouble
and paid special attention to this:
Changed your WordPress address URI and cannot login nor access the database (but still can access the login page) ?
wp-login.php can be used to reset the address:
//FIXME: do comment/remove these hack lines. (once the database is updated)
update_option('siteurl', 'http://your.domain.name/the/path' );
update_option('home', 'http://your.domain.name/the/path' );
I think this will resolve our issue however I am not certain where to drop the code. I put it at the beginning after the opening php tag, but this returned an error.
Can someone point me in the right direction as to how I can fix this?
Thank you so much; I've been pulling my hair out all night.
