• Hi: Not sure of version; can’t get in. Can’t log in; nothing happens. Tried re-setting password; kept telling me it was ‘too soon to use that password again’ even though I had not used it before.

    I am so sorry I ever got involved with WP- it is difficult, slow and persnickety.

    Anyone know how to get in so I can empty this account. I have had it.

    Thank you.

  • Shelia:

    One other thing you should be aware of. Login Lock was removed from the WP Plugin Repository Oct 2012. There is a known problem where it may cause a redirection loop, (can’t log-in) so that’s why WPyogi is telling you to remove this plugin.

    There are alternatives like either “Better WP Security or 6Scansecurity” – but I’m wondering what’s going on on your site that is causing this? You mentioned:

    I am always being told that I am logged out because someone is attempting to log in to my site

    Sometimes this is as simple as not checking the box that says “Remember Me” when you log onto your site. With out this box checked, every time you close your browser or turn off your PC, you’ll have to re-log on when you come back onto your site.

    Also, there are hackers that will try to brute force your log-on by trying passwords if they figure out your user ID name. The most common mistake people make is to keep the default “Admin” user name or use some form of their own name.

    Creating a strong Admin user name is the 1st step in preventing you from being locked out from your site.

    One last suggestion that goes with this. Make sure in your settings for your (Admin) user name, the name you post articles under is “different” than your (Admin user name)

    First, I have to get in:)

    Your hosting company might be able to help you out. Show them this thread and ask them to make a backup copy of this directory.

    /hermes/bosoraweb063/b2661/ipg.drsheilaherenownet/wp-content/plugins/login-lock

    Once they have that backed upo then ask them to delete that one login-lock directory.

    Hopefully that will let you back into your WordPress installation.
