Upgraded to WP 2.6 and can’t access wp-admin area

I used the automatic upgrade plugin also, and now whenever i try and access my wp-admin area i get my website home page with the phrase “sorry no posts matched that criteria”… my actual site (www.miss-brightside.com) works fine but I am about to load a new layout and add some more posts – and now I’m not able to!
Any idea what I’ve done wrong?

I have carried out a clean install of 2.6 on one of my sites today, everything is working fine on that particular site now. In fact it works better than any of my other sites ever worked using 2.5.1.

So I am going to do the same thing tomorrow on the other two sites, this would seem to be the only solution for now.

I love this 2.6 version it is way much better than any previous version.
Loads quicker, templates don’t break, plug ins all work without giving me any headaches.

Keep up the great work developers. Oh and also a great big thank you to all of the expert developers of all the fantastic plug ins and themes.

Luv ya all. Holly.

If you are stuck in the “Please Log in again” loop and unable to access the admin area, try visiting this address, (with your blog URL replacing example.com):

https://example.com/wp-login.php?action=logout

On sites with lots of registered users, I have added this instruction to wp-login.php and it seems to be solving the problem.

I dont know if anyone has sorted this problem yet, but I have found a way into the admin area, well it works for me.. I used this and got in no problem.
https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/comment.php?action=mac&c=1

Maybe not a perfect solution but if it works then thats what counts.

I tried that, but still get the error: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

Hmm…

Read through the entire thread (quite an experience at times), tried every reasonable suggestion, and still cannot log in.

Also tried logging in with different account. Won’t let me in. Instead, the login screen reverts back to name I tried to login with before.

Tried this in IE, FF, and Opera.

Follow-up to my own message…

I just noticed this. When I attempt to log into the admin panel, the site itself says I am logged in (that is, the “edit this” link shows up on the posts). However, I am unable to get into the admin panel.

I was continuously being asked to re-login when trying to go to /wp-admin, but I found that my particular problem was caused by some rewrite rules which I had added to .htaccess to allow users to continue to use /wp-admin instead of /wp-factory/wp-admin. (I had just moved WordPress’ factory files to their own directory to facilitate easier upgrading.)

I fixed my configuration fault by making the redirect from /wp-admin/ to /wp-factory/wp-admin/ an external 301 redirect. Should have done that in the first place, because it’s more semantically correct, but I had made a mess of some other parts of my rewrite rules which made this impossible.

A “me too” comment here – – out of utter frustration. I believe

I have tried every solution/tip/suggestion and nothing has worked. Even with a new installation. Just getting to the login page (or what is supposed to be the homepage) takes many minutes and then ends in failure.

I hope there is a fix soon.

Update – – I just got a message from my host saying that he “had to restart the entire server to break some weird wordpress cached dns entries“

I can access my site again!! so far it seems like it is all there and working…..getting ready to add the plugins back.

I can access my admin panel, but when I try do anything it returns to the login screen. The meta info on my blog shows that I am still logged in.

It is creating 2 cookies with the same name one with the path “/” and the other with “/wp-content/plugins”

Sure I can delete them and get back to the admin panel, but once there it creates both cookies again and I can’t edit anything. So it goes right back to the login screen.

I have also noticed all actions within my admin panel are very slow. It is neither my server nor connection because the blog loads quickly.

now it is showing a third with the same name with the path “/wp-admin”

I have tried everything on this list including reinstalling WP… No dice.
It is still issuing multiple cookies with the same name. The front end loads fine for readers.

It is only when I try to login that things start going haywire. It seems to be redirecting me to the login screen less often, but it works incredibly slow. I am guessing that is because of the cookies.

Is there a fix for this issue in the works?

OK last one.

I tried turning off the plugins again and it worked. After turning them back on one by one I isolated the problem plugin. It was the WordPress Automatic Upgrade.

Having same issue here on a clean install of a new site. Everything was working fine until I turned off permalinks, then went in and turned it back on.

Now wehn logging in I get directed back to the main page. Will not let me in to the control panel…
I renamed the instant upgrade plugin and still will not let me in…

Help.
