Hi,

Here is the method I used in case it can help someone else.

I installed mamp in order to avoid working on the site live so I could make mistakes without breaking the site.

I made a diff from the actual mysql file and my last backup therefore it helped to recover data form the past 7 days.

In the end I couldn’t find the source of the error therefore I just restored a backup to “fix”…

Once the site was working locally I pushed all the changes live.

Thanks everyone for your help.

I’ve used phpMyAdmin to deactivate all plugins.

In the table wp_options, under the option_name column (field) found the active_plugins row and changed the option_value field to: a:0:{}

Unfortunately I still have the same issue.

Hi Esmi,

I’ve tried this as well and unfortunately it doesn’t solve the issue neither.

This is really becoming embarrassing, I can’t think of anything else… the weird (but good thing) is that the website is still online… but I feel very vulnerable at the moment by not being to log into my own site…

Thanks for your suggestions esmi.

Have you moved WordPress at any time since it was first installed?

No I did not

Can you re-upload a fresh, unpacked, copy of the Twenty Eleven folder to wp-content/themes using FTP

I did that but It didn’t change anything. If I choose Twenty Eleven I got a blank screen. If I go back to my initial theme and try to log in I can’t and I’am being redirected to http://mydomain.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmydomain.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

It really doesn’t make sense to me.

Hi,

thanks for your help

switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP

I’ve done that but my homepage is blank now. I verified I got the Twenty Eleven folder in wp-content/themes.

I switched back to my theme

re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress.

I’ve done it as well, I still have the same issue.

I’ve also followed all the steps here Login Trouble excepted this one “Site URL Redirecting” as the latest version of wp-login.php doesn’t contain this code

// If someone has moved WordPress let's try to detect it
//if ( dirname('http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) != get_settings('siteurl') )
 // update_option('siteurl', dirname('http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) );

I’ve also tried to delete all the content of my .htaccess file but it didn’t change anything neither.

I really don’t understand what’s going on…
