WordPress Log-In hangs for ages, then redirects to 'No Results Found' page?

  • Recently, I’ve run into a problem on a site I run. When trying to log-in, the login process hangs for a very long time, and then finally redirects to the standard No Results Found page.

    I’ve tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling WordPress, but the problem persisted. Interestingly, viewing the site itself still works just fine, as does the forum hosted in a different directory on the site.

    The only other notable change I’ve encountered recently is that Akismet has had trouble filtering spam comments, so this morning the site was inundated with spamminess.

    Any suggestions?

  • I had this exact problem on 8 different WordPress sites hosted at Hostgator. Thank You so much, renaming the .htaccess to .htaccess.old re-uploading an uncorrupt copy and then deleting .htaccess.old got all of them functioning within 20 minutes.

    I haven’t made any changes like that in quite some time, although I have reinstalled WordPress multiple times.

    Any ideas on how to fix it?
