Yes. Captcha. See if it happens with plugins off.
Switching the plugins off does not change this.
It might be captcha related. Sometimes I get a captcha on logging out. Where do the captcha’s come from?
Captcha is a plugin or may be in your theme.
My theme is TwentyThirteen.
Plugins:
Easy Columns
iQ Block Country
Members
NextGEN Gallery by Photocrati
Peter’s Login Redirect
Sidebar Login
TablePress
Twitter Tracker
Ultimate TinyMCE
WordPress Access Control
WP-Polls
WP SlimStat
Any ideas?
I’m pretty sure that it isn’t Easy Columns (my plugin). But try this – FTP into the site and rename your plugin folder. That will disable your plugins, and you can hopefully login.
Once you’ve done that, you can add your plugins back one at a time, activate, then see if you have any login issues. It’s a slow process, but once you’ve found the culprit, it’s easy enough to disable that one plugin and load the rest. Hope that helps!
OK will do.
Can I disable my site in the meantime? Put it in service mode so to speak?
PS Me and my users can login! It’s just that they need to refresh to SEE they are logged in
SlimStat, my plugin, does track login pages, but it shouldn’t affect the login process at all.
<title>Captcha</title> from your wp-admin. Maybe your host added this to help prevent brute force attacks.
Hm. Renamed the plugins directory to plugouts. Logging in as a user puts me in the dashboard, not the site (that’s why I use the redirect plugin). Is there an easy way besides the plugin to redirect subscribers to the site instead of the dashboard?
kmessinger, I’m not sure what you mean. I have checked the wp-admin directory on the site through ftp, but don’t see any file with a captcha in it’s name. Am I misunderstanding you?
Yes it is. I don’t accept unknown users on my site.
Visitors get a public page and public posts, subscribers get more menus, posts and pages.
It doesn’t seem to be a captcha problem.
I’m using Peter’s login redirect to skip the dashboard for my subscribers
When I login as a subscriber in FireFox or IE8, I get directed to my site as a logged in user. This is exactly what I hoped for.
Doing the same in Chrome however, I get directed to the site but it looks as if login didn’t take place. Hitting F5 (refresh) reveals that the user IS logged in.
Any ideas as to why Chrome shows different behavior here?
