• Been googling an searching this forum for hours. Found others with the same problem but I haven’t found a solution.

    I’m running a site as Admin and need to add some Editors.

    But when trying to login the new users (Editors, Authors…) will be redirected to the start page. If I change their role to Admin they can login. But of course I don’t want a bunch of Admins with access to everything.

    Is there anyone out there how knows about this problem?

  • 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 Eleven 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.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    Thanks for your fast reply!

    I’ve tried deactivating and deleting plugins. I’ve also tried the Twenty Eleven theme.

    I will try re-uploading files and folders.

    But I don’t know. When running it locally with MAMP everything works fine…

    What is the remote site’s .htaccess file?

    Sorry. Don’t what the “remote site” is.

    This is the .htaccess from the live site.

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    Don’t what the “remote site” is.

    The version of the site that isn’t being run locally.

    The site’s .htaccess file needs to be reduced to:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    
    # END WordPress

    But that is unlikely to be the cause of your problems. Try checking the site’s error logs for clues.

    Ok. Thanks for trying to help. Really appreciate it.

    Unfortunately nothing solved it.

    Sorry again… What do you mean with the site’s error logs?

    Ask your hosts for access to the site’s error logs. They may give you some idea of where the problem is.
