Can't log in to wp-admin

  • I have successfully installed 4.4 (or so I thought), installed a premium theme, manually installed demo content and plugins. I was getting an error message on the Slider Revolution plugin. Had to walk away for a day and now I can’t log in. I’m getting the following error messages.

    Warning: fopen(/dev/urandom) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Operation not supported in /wp/wp-includes/random_compat/random_bytes_dev_urandom.php on line 57

    I’ve confirmed that cookies are not blocked on my browser. Other than that, no clue how to resolve this issue. Help?

  • Hi,

    From the web hosting panel, go to /public_html/wp-content/plugins/
    Rename all plugins that recently updated. Then try to log in again.
    If it’s worked. That mean the plugins are not yet supported the current WordPress version. Try to update the plugins to the latest version.

    Hi There, Did you resolve this issue? The exact same thing (same file and everything) is happening to me.

    Thanks!

    Your site has gone bad; namely, the tool that WordPress uses to generate random numbers (for security reasons) has become polluted.

    I would recommend the following steps, in order:

    1. Clear all cookies and cache from your web browser, then try logging in. This may be a corrupt cookie making the random number generator throw up.

    2. FTP into your site and rename or remove the Slider Revolution plugin folder from the wp-content/plugins folder. This may free you.

    3. Rename all plugins in the wp-content/plugins folder.

    4. Extreme measure: Download WordPress, extract it, and manually upload the files to your site.

    If none of that works, you’re basically in a bad way and will likely need to reinstall your site into a fresh database. However, I am fairly sure that either step 1 or 2 will fix the problem.
