Can't login, wp-admin (wp-login.php) returns a dot.

    It might have been happening since at least yesterday, but only noticed today as I was working with an already logged in session and I got the error when trying to log in from another computer.
    The logged in session works perfectly fine, I just can’t log in again from anywhere, not even the same computer with the same browser in a new (incognito) tab.

    Whenever I try to log in through wp-admin/ I get the user/password prompt as usual, but then when clicking the login button I get redirected to wp-login.php and all I see is a blank page with a dot.

    What I had done before I noticed this problem:
    -I’ve been using the twenty eleven theme for a long while so I decided to test twenty thirdteen. Applied the theme, decided I didn’t like it and reverted back to twenty eleven.

    What I have done since I detected the problem:
    -Read all through the WordPress 3.6 master list.
    -Renamed the plugins folder and wiped the browser cache.
    -Tried switching to twenty thirteen again, and then twenty twelve.
    -Renamed the wp-admin and wp-includes folders and uploaded fresh files from the 3.6 zip.
    -Renamed wp-login.php and uploaded the fresh file from the 3.6 zip.
    -Renamed the twentyeleven theme folder and uploaded a fresh theme folder from the twentyeleven 1.6 zip file.
    -Checked the error_log in the root of my wordpress install, and there’s nothing relevant from this week (some out of memory errors when I uploaded the fresh wp-includes, before I modified the memory limit).
    -Created a new user, just in case it was a problem with my current user.

    None of that solved anything.

    I have also submited a support ticket to my host provider.

    Is there anything else I should check? Something I may have missed?

    Regards.

  • Are you using subdomain?

    Yes, I’m using a subdomain for the wordpress blog.

    My host provider doesn’t seem to be aware of any kind of blocking on the wp-login.php file, but it turns out that if I rename the file I can actually login fine.

    Now I’m not really sure if it was indeed an intended blocking or something else, but I’ve permanently renamed the wp-login.php file (along with all the references to it) and installed the Better WP Security plugin to change the login permalink to something else, just in case.

    So… resolved, I guess, although it’d be nice to know what the heck did exactly happen.
