All the files have been upgraded to the latest version. Please CLICK HERE TO COMPLETE THE FINAL STEP." came out, I was forwarded to a log-in screen where only the [USERNAME] was available. When I typed in my password it would just re-direct to itself over and over again.<br /> --------------------------------------------</p> <p>I have tried upgrading 2.6.1 to 2.6.2 with WP Automatic Upgrade. </p> <p>I backed up the SQL file and when I got into the same mess as some of the above users, I immediately tried to revert back to the old database. However, the problem still lingers! </p> <p>I then manually tried to upload the WordPress upgrade files onto my server and tried overwrite the WP Automatic Upgrade files that uploaded previously but that still doesn't work!</p> <p>The problem exists in all of my browsers (Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer) even with the cookies reset each time I tried to change the password.</p> <p>I went into phpMYadmin, changed my admin password there and then selected MD5 in the drop down menu. It didn't work. I put in the new password and I just get the WP log in screen again and again.</p> <p>I have tried the last resort <strong>Emergency Password Changer</strong> created by <a href="http://www.village-idiot.org/archives/2007/05/22/wp-emergency-password-recovery/">village idiot</a>. However, the password that I created using this script did not work either.</p> <p>What the hell is wrong with my installation? Can someone please shed some light on my errors? Thank you!</p> <p>Also, as gbrettmiller has asked, how can you disable the plugin if you can't even log in? </p> http://forum.techie-buzz.com/topic/fix-for-cannot-loging-to-wordpress-after-upgrading-to-wp26-and-above#post-219 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 15:16:21 +0000 gbrettmiller 219@http://forum.techie-buzz.com/ <p>I hate to ask what may be a really stupid question, but...</p> <p>... How do you disable the plugin if you can't login to the Dashboard?</p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://forum.techie-buzz.com/topic/fix-for-cannot-loging-to-wordpress-after-upgrading-to-wp26-and-above#post-198 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 20:55:07 +0000 Shellimil 198@http://forum.techie-buzz.com/ <p>Thank you for your help, Isaac.

I've been waiting for something like this for some time. Thanks!</p> <p>A couple weeks after upgrading WP from 2.5 to 2.6.1 via WPAU, I too got the endless login redirect loop. Disabling the WPAU plugin worked for me, though i have a feeling it's not the root cause.</p> <p>Here's a quick recap of my experience:</p> <ul> <ol>Cleared cache and removed cookies -- FAIL (both in FF3 and Safari)</ol> <ol>wp-login.php?action=logout, destroyed php session, and repeated step 1 -- FAIL</ol> <ol>Edited wp-config.php: removed SECRET_KEY, added AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, and LOGGED_IN_KEY; and repeated step 1 -- FAIL</ol> <ol>Disabled WPAU and repeated step 1 -- SUCCESS!</ol> </ul> <p>My server setup</p> <ul> <li>blog path <a href="http://mywebsite.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">http://mywebsite.com/blog/</a></li> <li>PHPSESSIDs are being forced to cookies</li> <li>WP version: 6.2.1</li> <li>WPAU Stable tag: 1.2.2 </li> <li>Other activated plugins: Viper's Video QuickTags</li> </ul> <p>I did a lot of searching on the issue, here's my observations</p> <ul> <li>most fixes revolved around deactivation of plugins or clearing caches</li> <li>troublesome plugins mentioned were WPAU and out-of-date Akismet</li> <li>for some people, all browsers were affected, and for others, only some were affected</li> <li>a number of people, including myself, were able to login to WP 2.6.1 and write posts after the upgrade. For others, the login problems happened immediately after upgrade.</li> </ul> http://forum.techie-buzz.com/topic/fix-for-cannot-loging-to-wordpress-after-upgrading-to-wp26-and-above#post-191 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 11:32:01 +0000 Shellimil 191@http://forum.techie-buzz.com/ <p>This did not work for me. Any other suggestions? I also switched browsers from Firefox to IE that didn't work either. </p> http://forum.techie-buzz.com/topic/fix-for-cannot-loging-to-wordpress-after-upgrading-to-wp26-and-above#post-189 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 23:00:10 +0000 keith 189@http://forum.techie-buzz.com/ <p>If you are unable to login to WordPress after upgrading to 2.6 and above, please follow the steps in the included links, this is a issue with cookies and not WPAU.</p> <p>This seems to be a known issue with a upgrade to WordPress for some sites, are you using Firefox? If so please try another browser. You can check the following links to learn more and trouble shoot the issue.</p> <p>It is basically related to cookies, try these out </p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/202104" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/support/topic/202104</a><br /> <a href="http://www.chrismcintyre.com/2008/08/16/wordpress-261-cant-login-after-upgrade/" rel="nofollow">http://www.chrismcintyre.com/2008/08/16/wordpress-261-cant-login-after-upgrade/</a> </p>
