Admin lockout due to redirect timeouts

The same thing happened to me. The latest update completely screwed up authentication for all the sites my company hosts and developed. If you have a custom admin path like the majority of ours do besides wp-admin, it throws a different error of “this function has been disabled for security purposes” or I get a Google auth error of missing scope. Had to roll this update back on 50 production sites today.

I too had similar-sounding issues, no users could log in with v3.4.5 and were getting a mixture of security warnings and redirect problems.

I dropped Dan/the dev team an email, as the pinned post in the area suggests he/they may not necessarily pick up issues in these forums, and it gave an email address.

A rollback to v3.4.4 gives a temporary fix for me too.

Same.

Stuck in a redirect loop after the update.

We’re getting the same since updating to 3.4.5 and have worked around for now by rolling back to 3.4.4.

I thought I would offer a brief update.

I got an auto-reply from the generic email in the pinned post in this area, which suggested there would be a quick follow-up (the dev team aiming for a 24-hour response during the working week). This did not come, so I followed up myself. I did get a reply to that follow-up, at least to acknowledge there is a problem, suggesting that the 3.4.4 rollback is the temporary solution, and simply to state the team is looking into it.

I appreciate it’s not much of an update, but thought it might help given the silence on these forums from the dev team.
