Title: Admin Login Portal Loopback Issue Last modified: May 2, 2019 --- # Admin Login Portal Loopback Issue * [santura](https://wordpress.org/support/users/santura/) * (@santura) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-login-portal-loopback-issue/) * Hello! So I’m having trouble getting this admin login loopback problem fixed. Would like to start by saying that I’ve tried everything in the Login Trouble Support Blog Post and none of them have been successful. * With that out of the way lemme explain the situation. I am running a WordPress Version 5.0.3 site hosted by XAMPP through MySQL and PHPMyadmin. The site is hosted on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials machine. It is an intranet site that is hosted on our local network (so our external firewall would never get involved in this, plus I’ve deactivated the software firewall and that didn’t help) that, can be accessed by everyone, but not everyone can log into the admin portal. What happens is that SOME computers can log into the admin portal no problem, but others get looped back to the admin login portal without any error message. An additional note I’d like to add is that I did hardcode the URL address into the XAMPP configuration file because I was having access issues awhile ago and that fixed it. So I’m not sure if that hardcoding would have something to do with it. If it does I don’t know how to fix it because I’ve scoured the files and can’t find where I’ve hardcoded it. * I’d like to repeat that I have tried everything in the Login Trouble Blog Post for WordPress.org and nothing worked. Additionally I’ve tried deleting the . htaccess file as well as adding define(‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true) and define(‘ DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, true) as coding snippets in the wp-config file. They did not work. Deleting the htaccess file worked temporarily until it was regenerated. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fadmin-login-portal-loopback-issue%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * [autotutorial](https://wordpress.org/support/users/autotutorial/) * (@autotutorial) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-login-portal-loopback-issue/#post-11490239) * hello wordpress is only visible locally from your network if you have created a Multisite (Network) on wp subdirectory only the network administrator user ( Super User) can access this path because all other roles are considered unreliable. From the computer where it works, can you check what it tells you to set for wp-config.php and .htaccess?

I’d also look at the functions file and see if anything has been added there. If previous dev or admin. If you’re the only one ever then I’d say it has to be a snippet somewhere. * There are no security plugins added to this correct? Disable plugins and troubleshoot that way. I’d also create a second install so that you can test without disrupting the live intranet. * [autotutorial](https://wordpress.org/support/users/autotutorial/) * (@autotutorial) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-login-portal-loopback-issue/#post-11490856) * [@santura](https://wordpress.org/support/users/santura/) on your profile I see a link with port 8012 it is only possible to create Multisite (Network) on port 80 or 443 (default port for http and https respectively) [https://codex.wordpress.org/Before_You_Create_A_Network](https://codex.wordpress.org/Before_You_Create_A_Network) * Thread Starter [santura](https://wordpress.org/support/users/santura/) * (@santura) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-login-portal-loopback-issue/#post-11493695) * Is the port the issue here then? I only set it to that port because I have another program that’s running on port 80 (443 is used by another program as well). Sorry I always forget to add the port to the URL but yes 8012 is apart of it. * And no I have only added one plugin and its an editor plugin which I’ve troubleshooted by disabling it. - This reply was modified 7 years ago by [santura](https://wordpress.org/support/users/santura/). * Thread Starter [santura](https://wordpress.org/support/users/santura/) * (@santura) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-login-portal-loopback-issue/#post-11493701) * Edit to add: edited URL is [http://192.168.1.162:8012/wp/wp-admin](http://192.168.1.162:8012/wp/wp-admin) * [autotutorial](https://wordpress.org/support/users/autotutorial/) * (@autotutorial) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-login-portal-loopback-issue/#post-11494425) * According to the documentation it is not possible to use multisite on port different from 80 or 443 .. Excuse me, can you indicate if you use multise or a normal installation? If you want to use a multisite you can only on port 80 or 443 .. make backups of all your files and the database before each change. * Thread Starter [santura](https://wordpress.org/support/users/santura/) * (@santura) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-login-portal-loopback-issue/#post-11600165) * It was a normal installation.
