Login Page Refresh Issue

  • Recently I completed a site and started to test all aspects before going live when I realized a problem with the wp-login.php login screen. My problem seems so simple but I can not get through it. I read countless post discussing this problem but can not seem to figure it out. I will take any and all suggestions and may be willing to pay someone to troubleshoot incase the problem is in the theme and not wordpress.

    Here is the specific problem when a user registers for the site he/she receives an email with their username and password and a link to https://www.mudfeverusa.com/wp-login.php. Okay so everything to this point is working fine. Now if the user clicks on the link and attempts to log in the login page just refreshes. Funny part is they were technically logged in they just weren’t sent to the home page of the site like I would like. I tried several redirect plugins but nothing works.

    I added a test user for anyone who wants to test the problem.

    https://www.mudfeverusa.com/wp-login.php
    Username – test
    Password – password

    Again thanks for any help you can offer.

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    Why are you using an old copy of WordPress? Were you aware that your site is currently running a very real risk of being hacked? You need to upgrade WordPress asap.

    Thanks esmi for your quick response…

    Something worked because now when I attempt to login I get redirected to the /wp-admin “Dashboard”, which is a weird place to have customers land after logging in. Any ideas on how to change this to the home page?

    Also I plan on updating after I resolve this issue, figured maybe I should work one thing at a time.

    Thanks

    I can really use some help…I am 100% sure this is a theme issue on #2 but #1 should be an easy fix I just can’t figure it out…

    #1 – If I go to https://mudfeverusa.com/wp-login.php and log into the site I am directed to /wp-admin or the DASHBOARD. Now for a new customer to be redirected here serves no purpose the only thing they can view is DASHBOARD and PROFILE. All I am trying to get done here is to have the user, no matter the role, to be redirected to the home page. I tried every redirect plugin and none of them work not sure why.

    #2 – If I go to https://www.mudfeverusa.com and click on the LOG IN button on the right of the nav menu I am sent to https://www.mudfeverusa.com/wp-login.php if I enter my credentials here and hit LOG IN the page simply refreshes. Crazy part is the user is logged in but not directed to the home page.

    Note that in #1 there is no www and in #2 there is www.

    How is this possible that without the www the form performs one way and with the www it performs another way.

    Also with https://www.mudfeverusa.com/wp-login.php why does the page refresh only and not return to the home page.

    I really need help on this guys it is the only thing keeping me from going live.

    Thanks in advance.
