Login Issue and "Crashed" Site

    Hello. I am writing to inquire if WordPress has anything in place that deactivates a login after not logging in for about 2 or 3 days or so? I and someone else I know have had this happen to us.

    The only difference between us is that her site has always come back up for her exactly the way she had it after she is forced to change her password. I was not so lucky as my site was “gone” after I logged back in. I even had a not updated practically “clean” copy of WordPress on top of it.

    And if anyone is wondering, I had zero advertisements and zero affiliate programs so there is no possible way that I could have violated any TOS in relation to all of that. All I had were 13 blog posts, a TOS page, a Privacy Policy page, and a welcome home page and that’s it.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    P.S. I have contacted my hosting company and am trying to sort this out with them, but even trying to restore from my full back-up is not working so well either. I will start from scratch as I have all the posts saved elsewhere if needed, but am desperately trying to avoid that.

    Thanks!

    No, if your blog is self-installed, we have no control over it. There could be a plugin adversely affecting your users table. Try deactivating all plugins for a while (maybe leave Akismet active for anti-spam purposes). If that resolves the issue, slowly begin to reactivate each one individually over the next few days until you find the cause.

    Thank-you for the idea. My hosting company, thankfully, was able to fully restore my site (after some-doing on their part). In the end, they don’t know why it crashed either. They have some possible theories, but that was it. My site has been up and running ever since without incident. I also thankfully didn’t need to de-active any plug-ins; but I will consider doing so in the future if I have other issues. The only thing that saved me in all this was having my own back-ups too; I am a believer in keeping back-ups of my website on several personal computer C drives and a USB drive in addition to the hosting company’s equipment. Thanks again for the info.
