    Sorry for the double posting, had some trouble with the previous posting (it’s one of those days)

    Today I tried to change the theme to K2 only to notice it didn’t work in WP2.6, so I changed back to the previous theme that worked (Modmat). After that I noticed the Widgets options under Design had disappeared. I logged out and logged in a while later to take a look at the problem only to notice that I couldn’t log in (got the following “url” on the address line in he browser: https://www.gnurf.net/v3/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gnurf.net%2Fv3%2Fwp-admin%2F)

    I also noticed that the WP pages was gone, only a blank screen when I tried to take a look at my home page https://www.gnurf.net/v3/

    I have phpmyadmin installed.

    Any suggestions how to repair/reset WP?

    A good night sleep and the solution was found in the WP support forum. I solved my problem by renaming the plugin folder.

    I find exactly this issue on my blog.
    On wp-admin folder, i see no page at all, only a blank page.
    Cant login, cant post cant do anything at all on the admin.
    Tried renaming the plugins folder and no sucess yet.
    Have also updated the wordpress from 2.5 to 2.6, also, no luck.
    Have already backed up the wordpress database.
    What sould i do? Help please.

    Ok, got login.
    Steps:

    Renamed the plugin folder.
    Checked the log at the server, was giving some errors about the missing favicon.ico and this:
    [client 189.4.63.163] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/blog/wp-content/themes/mytheme/functions.php:4) in /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 770

    Checked my theme functions.php and the only thing thats on it is:

    <?php
    if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
    register_sidebar();
    ?>

    Anyway, renamed this file and also re-uploaded the pluggable.php to its folder.

    After that, the login page appeared but none of my two users was able to login, so i password reset for admin, got the new password, reset the password (now logged) for both users and now looks like it is available as usual.

    This have never happened to me on older wordpress versions, and as im not the only one facing this kinda issue, im forced to think that’s some wordpress incompatibility with some plugins or something else.

    Also, im sad with the wordpress team for the lack of support from the developers on this issue.

    Hope this help someone with the same problem.

    Best regards

    @antonio: Thank YOU! you certainly helped me. I could not login after upgrading to 6.1, and still couldn’t login after reverting ot my old version. Removing cookies and renaming the plugins folder, nothing happened. Your solution was the only trick that really worked. Thanks again.
