logging into blog – link not working

  • hello. I’ve been trying to log into my blog at https://www.worldviewthinking.com using the usual /wp-admin extension and I keep getting the following error message:

    “You must log in to access the admin area.”

    I’m sure you can see the circular reasoning in this response. This is the same url I”ve been using for years. I’ve tried other extensions just to be thorough and no dice.

    Can you help me please figure out how to log into my blog? I need to update it asap as part of a launch sequence for a new campaign.

    Thank you
    John

  • Hi John,

    As with most troubleshooting techniques you’ll find with the WordPress support forum, it’s going to begin with deactivating all your plugins that could be on the site. Easiest way to do this is either through PHPMyAdmin or by renaming the wp-plugins folder within wp-content. Here’s a guide that may assist: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-wp-admin/

    If that doesn’t help, the next step would be setting your theme to the default to see if it is a theme issue. This is done relatively the same way by renaming your current theme to something else so WordPress defaults back.

    If that still doesn’t work then I would recommend a complete re-install of WordPress minus the wp-content folder to rule out any issue with the core files.

    I would imagine one of these three tasks will assist you in figuring out where your problem lies, however after determining that, it will be another step in actually getting it resolved.
