wp-login unexpected what?

  • Has anyone anywhere ever had this happen before? Client installed WP on cloud server. Was rather messed up from that so I fixed it all, but the one thing most depressing is logging in. heading on over to wp-login.com results in the display of the default twentyten theme, front page (nothing on it of course) but sidebar links are.. login link goes to wp-login and it does the same thing. So not only does the install display a theme that is not selected, it also fails to permit logging in.

    So…. golly I hope on one has had this before, but just in case.. what in the world is going on here? Any fixes for this one?

    BTW.. A sister site installation of the very same theme and versions is working just fine. A clone actually of this one.

  • Your login url is //www.yourdomianname.com/wp-admin -or- //www.yourdomianname.com/wp-login.php

    You would, of course, also include any sub-directory in the path, if that applies.

    I suspect you may have some issues with either the addresses in your general settings not reflecting the actual path to the wordpress directory, or perhaps a permalink issue, but without a link to the site, it’s only a guess.

    url is /wp-admin/ tried wp-login as well both same result… won’t accept log in either just refreshes back to the default theme empty page. paths last i saw them were correct for its location… htaccess is 

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

    So not only does the install display a theme that is not selected,

    What leads you to that conclusion?

    Things to consider:

    -Do you get any error messages of any kind,
    -Are you using any seo plugins or plugins that require permalink updating after activation,
    -Do you feel comfortable posting a link so that the actual source code and request and response messages for the site can be viewed by others?

    More information is needed. The most helpful/expedient path to a resolution might be a link to the troubled site.

    Conclusion is based on the thing did work, when the client installed it. Something happened to it, whereas a clone sister site installed the same day works just fine. It is running wp-forum and a potential culprit: some social network cluster of links plugin… before going in an undoing the client’s plugins I was hoping someone had heard of this behavior before. There are no error messages. The site itself runs nicely, to look at. No one can log in to do anything with it. I think its on to the destroy plugins plan b stage.. I do not have permission to put the link in the public domain until it is launched. Yes, it would have made this so much easier for someone to recognize as the same issue they faced in the past. But alas… I thank you for the time you took to respond and your questioning which lead me to conclude, plugins go. I’ll put them back one at a time if it makes a difference. Thank you again.

    Best of luck to you. ??

    As a follow up. The culprit was PrefPass Universal Login and Registration plugin…. i don’t know who put it there, IT probably but with 3.0.1 this thing just killed the log in process. It is now toast.
