Still problems. * [reide](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reide/) * (@reide) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstallation-after-hack-still-problems/) * So I can get into my dashboard through Chrome and can’t through Safari 5.0, Firefox 3.6.8 and have also tried in IE 7… * when I type in: [http://reideiredale.com/wp-admin](http://reideiredale.com/wp-admin) * [http://reideiredale.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Freideiredale.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1](http://reideiredale.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Freideiredale.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1) * and I have found this to be my problem. * WordPress Cross Domain Redirect [http://blogsecurity.net/wordpress/news-110707-2](http://blogsecurity.net/wordpress/news-110707-2) * If anyone has any queries into this matter it would be greatly appreciated.

Now one more little problem. I can’t use quick edit in my Pages to assign page templates, any other knowledge you can give? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstallation-after-hack-still-problems/#post-1684097) * Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause. * If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can affect the admin panel). * Thread Starter [reide](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reide/) * (@reide) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstallation-after-hack-still-problems/#post-1684218) * I have done everything accordingly and now I can’t do quick edit and now I can’t add custom fields. * This is strange should I go back to 3.0 ? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstallation-after-hack-still-problems/#post-1684240) * Deactivating plugins and switching to Twenty Ten won’t disable core features. Did you do anything else besides just those two things? * Thread Starter [reide](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reide/) * (@reide) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstallation-after-hack-still-problems/#post-1684241) * Hey James I have gone back to 3.0 after following your steps and it is still being a problem. I think the error could be on the server and there’s is still something going crazy with the redirect with most browsers and now I am only getting in via Safari. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstallation-after-hack-still-problems/#post-1684242) * Are you saying that the issue only affects Safari and all other browsers are unaffected? * Thread Starter [reide](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reide/) * (@reide) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstallation-after-hack-still-problems/#post-1684243) * Finding it hard to figure out why I can’t quick edit anything or add custom fields. And the only browser I can get into the Dashboard on now is Safari. Strange right? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstallation-after-hack-still-problems/#post-1684245) * > Finding it hard to figure out why I can’t quick edit anything or add custom > fields. * I’m still unclear on when this happened. Earlier you made it sound like it happened because you deactivated your plugins and switched the theme, which is really impossible. It would help to know if this was ever a problem before you did that. * > And the only browser I can get into the Dashboard on now is Safari. Strange > right? * Have you tried clearing the cache in the other browsers or checking from another computer? * Thread Starter [reide](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reide/) * (@reide) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstallation-after-hack-still-problems/#post-1684248) * Yeah of course Ive cleared the caches a number of times for each one and got into parallels and checked on IE7. I still get the same URL from other computers. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstallation-after-hack-still-problems/#post-1684249) * Access your WordPress database via phpMyAdmin (most hosting providers offer this in their control panel) and [manually change](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database) the `siteurl` and `home` values to `http://reideiredale.com` * If that’s correct, access your server via [FTP or SFTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) and rename the `.htaccess` file. Look for one in the `/wp-admin/` directory too and rename it if you find one. * Thread Starter [reide](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reide/) * (@reide) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstallation-after-hack-still-problems/#post-1684252) * Went through step by step thoroughly and it didnt work. * What a nightmare! * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstallation-after-hack-still-problems/#post-1684296) * If the site URLs are correct and there are no `.htaccess` files either in the web root or the `/wp-admin/` directory, there should be nothing there to cause any redirection (and therefore the redirection loop) to happen. * Thread Starter [reide](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reide/) * (@reide) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstallation-after-hack-still-problems/#post-1684309) * All good now with the link. Is there any problems that I should know about regarding the quick edit and the custom fields not allowing me to edit them? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstallation-after-hack-still-problems/#post-1684315) * You still haven’t explained if your inability to quick edit and use custom fields happened because you deactivated plugins or if it was happening before that.
