Hi Esmi,
That was kind of you to reply! I will/am checking out these things. What I have now done is:
-New passwords
-Manual install newest WP (as the automatic one crashed before it began)
-Uploaded backup to new wordpress directory.
I then tried to link to this new directory in the General settings, but I get into this login screen again and WP redirects me back to general settings without saving.
When editing something smaller in general settings, for example a timezone box and storing it, I also get into the login screen, but make it through it with the changes made.
Is there something wrong with WP or is it my theme or my computer?!
Thanks!

Sorry – you’ve lost me there… You;re supposed to upload the fresh files to the same directory as your current install. If you change any of the site urls in Settings->General without following certain steps, you will end up locked out of your own, non-functioning, site.
Have you tried:
– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
– switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
Hi Esmi,
Thanks for these good tips! Yes, I did install to the same directory and have not changed the site urls (had a good couple of hours fun trying that the other day…)
I changed the theme and then everything works fine as far as I can see. So I backed up what was hacked and did an overwrite on the creativix theme, but the same problems are still there. So can it be the theme then? Checked plugins, but makes no difference.
I really don’t know what to try next, so I’ll start skimming through the links you posted.
Hi Esmi,
now I talked to one.com and they told me there was something wrong with the script that overruled the session. He couldn’t tell me whether it was in the theme or wordpress.
Anyway, the bug is still there, but for the time being I have managed to work around it and the site is up. So thanks again for your help.
Regards,
Hessel
