 * I’ve developed a strange issue with my wp site. When I try to go into my general
   settings page (blog.com/wp-admin/options-general.php) through my wp dashboard
   it redirects me to the admin login page
    (blog.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://
   constructiondrama.com/wp-admin/options-general.php)but won’t accept my login 
   info. Also the avatar from a previous theme is still in the browser tab even 
   though I’m using the default wp theme. I’ve completely re-installed twice and
   still get the same issue with the same avatar???

 * 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).
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.

 * Do you mean the favicon?

 * Try switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems.

 * I switched themes and still no change, no matter what theme I activate the favicon
   stays the same and my problem remains. Even when I completely removed the themes
   folder the favicon was still there with a blank web page.

 * If you’re using IE, delete any bookmarked pages for your site. Then ry going 
   to another page (any page – google.com for example), clearing your browser cache
   and then going back to your site.

 * That was the problem, I was using Chrome and I switched over to IE and everything
   works. I will clear out all the bookmarks in Chrome and hopefully that fixes 
   the issue…I like Chrome better than IE. Thanks for all the help!!
