    Site has been running for some time, could access admin ok. It was only today I noticed in the in wp-config that I did not add new keys and salts. So I did that and saved. Public side the site still works fine but I cannot get past the admin page. I get this at the example.com/wp-login.php page:

    [ Moderator note: please wrap code in backticks or use the code button. Do not use blockquote. ]

    Along with the login panel. When I log in, I get this at example.com/wp-login.php

    Thinking it might be my cookies on my local machine (mac osx 10.5.8,Safari 5.0.6), I dumped the history and cache and all cookies related to my site (example.com)

    I then reverted the wp-config file to the default Auth Unique Keys and Salts data, but I still get the same errors.

    How do I fix this?

    woodchuckcanuck? Please do not bump, that’s not permitted here. Bumps get deleted when found.

    Edit: Would help if I put in the FAQ link…

    Give this a read and double check your wp-config.php file like so:

    1. Rename wp-config.php to wp-config-save.php. Do not delete that file just rename it.
    2. Copy wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php.
    3. In that new wp-config.php file fill in the database information using the most plain text editor you have. Notepad works, I also use Notepad++.
    4. Clear your browser’s cache and cookies and try re-login in again.

    If that doesn’t work (really, please don’t delete anything) then you can put it back and there are other places that you can look.

    Hi,

    Thanks. I’ll try that. I don’t have notepad. I’m on a mac. Assuming TextEditor is the same. I typically use Coda to tweak php pages.

    PS: I figured bumping isn’t allowed but how else to get some attention to it? Sit and wait while the post gets buried? That’s rhetorical. I’m just venting over some of the frustrations with WP, this issue and the image crunching freeze ups.

    If you have something to add such as “Hey I tried this and still didn’t work” then that’s not bumping. But if you bump without adding anything then you’ll get into trouble.

    Just Don’t Bump™ ??
