   My apologies if somebody has brought this up before -- I can't imagine nobody has, but I couldn't find any information. I upgraded from plain 1.5 to 1.5.1.3 the other day, and ever since, I can't log in. I can get into the control panel with IE, which remembers that I'm logged in (so I just click on Edit Post to get in), but Firefox doesn't remember me, so I'm out of luck.

   In either IE or Firefox, when I click on my login link, the browser hangs and hangs and hangs some more and eventually just stops trying. I even tried going back to the original 1.5 version of wp-login.php, but no dice.

   Any ideas? Anybody else experience this? For what it's worth, I'm not 100-percent sure this problem has to do with my upgrade, but the two events seemed to happen at the same time.

   I'd suggest you clear out your cookies and try again. I just registered and logged in without a hitch (you might want to delete the "test" user)

   Hmmm -- clearing cookies got me to the login page, but then the page hung on me when I entered my username and password and hit "login." This has happened both at home and at work, too, on Windows XP and Windows 2000.

   Hey, I figured it out! Something about the Wysiwyg for WordPress plugin from mudbomb.com (http://mudbomb.com/archives/2005/02/02/wysiwyg-plugin-for-wordpress/), which I installed at the same time as the upgrade, was interfering with the login. I deactivated it and now everything's fine. Thanks for your help!
