Login doesn’t work anymore :(

  • Hi!
    I just tried to log into my blog, but it didn’t work.
    So I thought I might have mixed up my passwords – but the password recovery doesn’t work either.
    I therefore changed my password via PHPMyAdmin and the md5() function and tried again – but it still didn’t work.
    The next thing I tried was to add print_r($_POST); at the very end of wp-login.php.
    And now it gets weird:
    No matter what I enter into the login form, when I press the “Log In” button, I get an empty array for $_Post:
    Array ( )
    Any idea what’s going on?
    My blog was moved recently from sth. like domain.de.example.com/blog to blog.domain.de (because my domain got activated and my host moved me from my temporarily webspace), but I also changed the value siteurl inside the options table.
    Before the move, everything worked fine.
    Now, nothing’s working.
    Submitting an empty form doesn’t return an error message; just the login screen… :'(
    Help! I’m desperate…

    Hi!
    I just tried again, logging in at the old location, and then checking the admin screen.
    After logging out and logging in at the new location, everything worked.
    So I guess it’s kind of a cookie problem I had. Though FF didn’t return any value for the JS command javascript:alert(document.cookie);.
    I don’t think I’ll need the e-mail feature in the near future, but thanks anyway.

    Christian and Sunshine,
    I am having similar problems, I have visited the other post and changed the code for the mail thing.
    But I still cant login. And because I was using the origonal user: Admin and Pass I cant mail the pass to myself as I was unable to edit the User.
    If you guys have any suggestions I would appreciate it.
    Thanks
    Chris

    Hi.
    I have created the md5.php file and it echoed a long string back which is all fine. The problem is that I cannot find an Admin User Row in the wp_options table. Is it possible that the row has been deleted from the DB somehow and if so what are the values that need to be entered back into the DB.
    Thanks
    Chris.

    Ups, I’m sorry.
    It’s the wp_users (I think).
    But in wp_options, make sure the site_url (not sure about the spelling, don’t have PHPMyAdmin at hand right now) is set correct. ??

    Hi again
    Found it and tried it.No Luck.
    I am a bit confused as to what the new password will be once I have inserted over the old password in the DB.
    It is encrypted so what exactly do I type into the password text box on the login screen.
    Oh by the way I have just tried to login with my other usernames (those not designated as Admin) and I am having the same problems.
    Any ideas.
    Thanks
    Chris

    Hi.
    Please ignore last messages second paragraph.I am not confused anymore.
    It still does not login and when I Go through the “Lost Password” process I receive an email that only has this info on it :
    Password Lost and Changed for user:
    Thats all it says.
    Thanks
    Chris

    Coatesman, see this post: post
    It might be your issue, secondly there is a fix for that email issue, it’s in sunshine’s post above.
    Finally… when you edit a password directly in the database you put the encrypted form in the DB. You type the cleartext form into the password field for login.
    For instance: 098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6 goes in the DB, and test goes in the password field on the login page.

    (You won’t need to use a separate program to md5 your password (which can be real confusing).
    Just in the password field, type in your password in plain text, then choose “md5” from the “functions” pulldown menu next to it, in phpmyadmin.)
