Moved Blog & Cannot Log In (cookies error) After 3 Installs
-
[I posted this as a reply on another before seeing it was resolved (without giving the solution/something he found on the functions.php worked for him) and so may well not get seen by the forum helpers.]
I’m at my wits’ end and really need help after searching for hours upon end since yesterday with no luck. I have done three installs trying to resolve this.
Cannot log in!
“ERROR: Invalid username. Lost your password?

Everything worked before moving this blog to another server, same url. (I moved another one today following the same procedure – no login problems. )
First I did a new install of WP through godaddy’s hosting control panel. I could log in fine. Then I put a copy of all the original files up, using the ‘new’ config file referencing the new database file. Then I restored the database. I get that same cookies are blocked error, but they are not, and the settings on the browsers are not set to block.
I have cleared browsers and caches repeatedly, both IE and FF. I copied in a new fresh login.php file this time and the last time also.
I deleted the .htaccess file. I double checked the config file and it definitely references the new database. I don’t have a clue where my problem is, but I HAVE to get into the admin!
This is making me a nervous wreck, because the last time it took hours for the interior pages to populate, so there was the worry that something was very wrong. This time the same thing, the interior links are showing up 404 still.
*I don’t know how to reset the permalinks without being able to get into the admin, if that’s what’s keeping the interior pages/posts/links from appearing – as someone mentioned in another post.
Thank you very much to anyone who can help me out of this jam.
Best regards from Catherine.
