wp-login loop

    I’m having a problem with logging into the backend of a WP installation.

    I moved the installation to a new server – everything else stayed the same. The server is a VPS running Plesk and I’ve hooked up the Plesk services for WP.

    When I try to login into wp-login or wp-admin, it just enters a continuous redirect loop. Enter username and password again and again, just get the same login screen.

    Things I have done:

    i) Checked the access in .htaccess
    ii) Checked the URL inside wp-options MySQL table
    iii) Switched to another theme to check if that is issue
    iv) Cleared the cache in the WP installation
    v) Used another browser and then another PC to check browser cookie / cache issues
    vi) Run in debug mode – I get this report:

    Please check if ALL your plugins and your current theme is up to date.

    Hi Tara,

    Been away for two days so just checked this now.

    I can confirm that all the plugins are up to date , as is the current theme.

    Still getting exactly the same error message.

    I’ve had some time this morning to play with the plugins. The error message above is caused by a Disqus Comments widget – once that is removed then the error vanishes but the wp-login loop still remains.

    I’ve solved this!!! The problem was caused by a deprecated version of PHP on my new VPS. Setting the domain to 5.6 allowed the security plugin to operate correctly and I was in to the dashboard!

    The plugin was Ninja Firewall WP Edition – have added this comment so others searching can see my solution.
