Not directed to admin console after login

  • Hi there. I am trying to log in to the admin area with valid credentials, but after thinking for a second, I get the login screen again. I see a session token up in the URL and I know the login name and password are correct, becuase if I try logining in 15 times, i will eventually get in. Ideas?

    Hi again, I really need help with this if anyone has an idea… I tried manually updating to 2.9 but that didn’t help. I tried renaming the plugins folder, but my host wont give me access to do it.

    Can I just delete everything (after doing a backup), reinstall WP (new version), update the wp-config, then ftp the old theme folder over?

    Figured i give an update. I have manually updated the site to 3.2.1 but I still can’t log in. I was able to log in using IE9 instead of my usual FF, while doing the manual updates. Now it is 2 days later and I can’t login regardless of the browser. Ideas? anyone?

    Try:
    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

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

    – re-running the upgrade manually using /wp-admin/upgrade.php.

    Thank you for the response. I tried the last 3 to no avail. I will try the first option after hours and get back to you.
