# Admin Access in Chrome

 * For the last few weeks, I’ve been having issues accessing my admin panel from
   Chrome. It spins and spins and never loads, then sometimes even crashes Chrome
   itself. I seem to have no problem accessing it from Edge or Firefox, so I’m not
   sure what the problem with Chrome might be. Any thoughts?

 * Are you using any plugins that interfere with the login process? Security plugins,
   login form customizations? If so, try disabling them and test it again.
 * Try it in Chrome’s incognito mode as well. All browser extensions are disabled
   there, so you can rule them out as a possible cause.

 * Incognito mode worked, so I would assume then that it’s an extension. I disabled
   a bunch that I thought might have an impact but that didn’t seem to work. Could
   even a disabled login create that problem?

 * I’m not sure what you mean by “disabled login”. While it is possible to use plugins
   in WordPress to change the backend URL, you can’t completely disable the login
   form itself. Access to it can only be restricted at the server level. However,
   your test showed that an add-on in your browser is likely causing the issue. 
   I would recommend looking into that first.

 * Sorry. I meant disabled extensions, not disabled login. I disabled all the extensions
   without uninstalling them and it still didn’t work.

 * But does it work in incognito mode? If so, try clearing all cookies and the cache
   for the website in the browser itself.

 * I had already cleared the cache and cookies and it did work in incognito mode,
   which is why I’m not quite sure where the problem is.

 * I was able to get to the admin panel but the style sheet that governs the layout
   seems to be missing and it’s just a long list of links. If I click on any of 
   those links, then it just hangs and does nothing. I’ve also noticed that some
   of the images on the main page are no longer showing, just little squares with
   links. Could something else be going on with that?
