Admin Login Refresh

Hi, try to exclude the login page of your site from W3 Total Cache. But for now you might have to disable AIOWPS to get back into your site. Then re-enable the plugin and try what I suggested above.

Regards

OK, I’ll try that and report back. Thanx for the reply.

Nope @mbrsolution, it doesn’t work.

Any other solution?

I had purged cache too.

Since I have cutom admin url: https://mydomain.com/xyz, so I excluded xyz and wp-admin from being cached. That’s what you had suggested. Right? It didn’t work.

There might be some setting in the cache plugin that you might have to disable. Unfortunately I don’t use W3 Total Cache.

@maxal,
When you say you can’t login what behaviour do you see exactly?
I assume you tried some tests such as momentarily deactivating the W3TC plugin to verify that it might be related to this issue?

Good to know it isn’t just me! I’ve been troubleshooting 20+ plugins all day to track this back to AIO WPSec, restored a backup to known-good and verified again.

Steps to replicate the issue:

1. Go to my custom login URL (ie /heyloginhere/ ), try to log in.

2. Response back is blank except for “Not available.”

3. If I delete the login URL path and go to just the base domain (ie https://www.mysite.com), the site pulls up and I see the Admin Bar. However, clicking on anything in the Admin Bar just returns the “Not available.” error.

4. SO, I logged into FTP and renamed the “all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall” folder to something else.

5. Logged out and back in (using /wp-login.php, because the custom login URL no longer works with AIO disabled). I still get an error indicating login was unsuccessful, but when I go to the main domain now, the Admin Bar links actually take me to their expected endpoints.

6. I can browse around the site and Admin area without issue, until I log out attempt to log back in. Then I’m back to Step 2 above.

This just started yesterday, I believe just after updating to the most recent version. Can’t find a downloadable of it or I’d just roll back and wait until the next one’s out or this one’s stable.

( Confirming I disabled P Rocket caching plugin, the Limit Login Attempts plugin, etc. to verify all the above. This issue is definitely the AIO WPSec plugin and happens even without caching. )

@wpsolutions

After hitting Log In button, the page refreshes and I am still on the sign-in page.

The only way for me to:

Get into the plug-in folder
Rename the plugin directory
Use the default WP admin log-in address
…and once in, get back to my plugin directory through FTP and restore AIOWPS directory name.

In my office, I am unable to use FTP or web host control panel, thus I can’t rename plugin directory.

Any solutions?

Still looking for a solution…
