 * All of a sudden (was ok yesterday) I cannot log in at all.
 * I go to my normal log in page, put in my details and it just goes back to the
   log in page. No errors unless I try it with a fake username or password.
 * I have even tried changing my password twice but no, just sits there.
 * Have removed any plugins that I have put on over the past month (although as 
   I say it worked fine yesterday) but no, nothing works I cannot get in to my own
   site.
 * Right, thats what is happening now, the ONLY difference to my site is I have 
   opened a community area in a subdomain (the wordpress is on the root). They are
   on different databases.
 * It isnt just me, its other members too
 * [http://1stangel.co.uk](http://1stangel.co.uk) is the wordpress
    [http://community.1stangel.co.uk](http://community.1stangel.co.uk)
   is the SMF board

 * Ok this is a Firefox issue.
 * Seems the latest firefox has not been storing things properly and is now deleting
   cookies too.
 * Used Chrome and logged in fine.
 * Thanks 🙁

 * to start with, try:
 * -deactivating all plugins. If the problem goes away, activate them individually
   to find the cause.
 * If you don’t have access to to your admin area, try deactivating them [manually](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   via FTP or phpMyAdmin.
 * -switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific issue.

 * if you could log in yesterday on firefox and not today and you log in fine with
   chrome then try deleting cookies and try logging in.

 * If you are familiar with database log in on server click myphpadmin and click
   on your database and you will see database tables scroll down and wp-users click
   on first icon browse and you will see your users what do you have you as.

 * The ONLY other thing that I did was I tried to upgrade the voucherpress. As it
   is so big it wouldn’t and locked the site in maintenance mode. I managed to get
   it out of that but it left a message saying that there was an unfinished upgrade(
   still there actually) So I tried uploading the new version but nothing changed
   and now I have tried deleting voucherpress but Im still locked out of supera 
   dmin and now cannot log in 🙁
