I have encounter a strange login problem that is driving me nuts!
A user can only login by resetting their password and using the reset password to login.
If they logout and try login again then they are taken to the main login screen (/wp-admin) - there is no red box telling them that there has been a password error etc. It carries on in this endless loop unless they reset their password again and login with the reset password. This password only works for one session it seems.
My installed and activated plugins are:
menubar
breadcrumb-navxt
I have tried different permalink structures but nothing helps. It is currently set to /%postname%/ and navigation is working fine.
I have tried different themes but it gives the same problem.
I have tried deleting wordpress and re-installing - but it is no help.
The contents of my .htaccess file are as follows:
# 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
Now I have installed the exact same wordpress version + plugins + theme to another hosting account and it works fine.
So I assume it must be some obscure setting on the current host. Here are my PHP settings that the host allows me to change:
register_globals: ON
allow_url_fopen: OFF
magic_quotes_gpc: ON
memory_limit: 20MB
max_execution_time:30 Secs
upload_max_filesize: 5MB
All the other setting are pretty much standard and I don't have access to most of them.
Please someone help - this is really driving me nuts!
Many thanks in advance :)
