I FIXED IT!

AND I FEEL LIKE A BOSS.

Hahaha. Alright, so this is what I did.

I went to my site.com/cpanel

Logged in.

Clicked phpMyAdmin

Clicked siteName_database

Clicked wp_options

Scrolled down and put in “50 row(s) starting from record #0”

Look at record number 3 and record number 39 (at least in my installation) The names of these records was “siteurl” and “home”

I edited “home” to be the exact same as “siteur” (it was missing “www”)

Saved, and it works now. Let me know if you have trouble following these instructions.

Does anyone know why this might’ve happened?

Also, let me know if this helped solve your issue.

EDIT So doing that lets me see the dashboard and my homepage, but clicking my other tabs gives me an error.

EDIT 2I just remembered that I deleted my .htaccess page when troubleshooting this issue. I put it back on the server and now my other tabs work. Perfect.

My website goes to:
/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fsharelearn-do.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
Yours goes to:
/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fevolvingthoughts.net%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

Hmm… anyone have any idea?

@jswilkins. After you login “successfully” what appears in the address bar in your browser?

I’m sure I can get my backup from my host, but there must be another solution. I can’t just have a site not be able to log me in… especially since I made no changes.

“if I type the wrong password in, it tells me. Just no dashboard.”

Exactly what happens to me. What version of wordpress do you have?

I don’t remember what version I had, but maybe that’s the problem? Maybe I should try to ftp update wordpress.

@jswilkins, any luck getting into your site?

I can’t log in. Use ftp to make what changes?

It’s sharelearn-do (dot) com

Yes, I understand, but without the plugin and just adding in:

<meta property="og:image" content="<?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' ); ?>
<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" />

Fixed everything

That’s what I thought the plugin was for.

Yeah, it was just grabbing the star.png before my actual attachment that’s all.

It was for a website that doesn’t exist anymore. Why? Do you need help with something?

I had my PostRatings come after my image and PostRatings was somehow being used as the default image. I have a custom theme though, with custom placed PostRatings plugin.

FIXED:

All I needed was to change my index.php to say this instead:
<?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>

Sorry, I didn’t get it to be fixed. It seems like it’s not being directed to my author.php file. Any suggestions?

This is in my index:
<a href="<?php the_author_link(); ?>"><?php the_author(); ?></a>

And it’s not directing me to my author.php
