It didn’t fix anything so I will have the same problem in a few days. You are logged in for 10 days ( cookie). Can I see your site so I can see what we did to make this happen.

I received the welcome screen for inserting id e pwd and then i navigated trough admin panel. * I didn’t logoff and i tried from home page to click on edit.

Other days I can, but the feed isn’t shown. And, maybe once a week, I can log in AND see the feed. * Just my guess though. * Thread Starter [mattew79ita](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattew79ita/) * (@mattew79ita) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-using-wp-loginphp/#post-343351) * P.S Nothing so important now that i’m able to login from admin directory but i think it’s a ugly solution 🙂 * Thread Starter [mattew79ita](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattew79ita/) * (@mattew79ita) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-using-wp-loginphp/#post-343352) * If i can i leave this post open because i hope to receive other advices * For now very thanks HandySolo ! * [dyin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dyin/) * (@dyin) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-using-wp-loginphp/#post-343355) * [@handysolo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/), is it imporant to keep the ‘feeds’ menu? I deleted it. Could this give a problem? * edit: I can’t log in through theme editor like you did. * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-using-wp-loginphp/#post-343357) * As long as you don’t mind deleting it again next time you upgrade 🙂 * There’s a plug-in, somewhere, that “blocks” the feed on the Dashboard, does something else, and allegedly would help with this. My attention-span is so short that everytime I think to go look for it I forget what it was I was going to look for…. * [dyin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dyin/) * (@dyin) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-using-wp-loginphp/#post-343359) * lol, good to kwow there is a plug-in that helps. It will be hard to find though( there are many plug-in’s). I hope you will remember the name or something like that. I don’t want to loose control over my website again.

But the problem usually returns… * I should just disable I suppose and see if that does anything. * [dyin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dyin/) * (@dyin) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-using-wp-loginphp/#post-343671) * what do you people mean with a cash folder/ clearing your cache? I am not installing wordpress again, I did to mutch work to do this. Isn’t there an other way? * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-using-wp-loginphp/#post-343684) * /youBlog/wp-content/cache is where WP will keep cache files. Sometimes, it seems that clearing that cache out can be helpful. Or maybe that’s just “voodoo tech”. * [dyin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dyin/) * (@dyin) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-using-wp-loginphp/#post-343710) * there is no cache folder/file in my wp-content folder. Could this be a problem? Some more tips are still welcome Thanks handysolo 🙂 * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-using-wp-loginphp/#post-343714) * Hmm, well, I think that started with wp2.x. What version of wordpress are you on? * Oh – and it is probably apache only.
