Luckily for me I have no clue how to change a database prefix, so I wouldn’t be doing that anyway, Tim ??

However, I have tried deactivating all plugins, at which point I could log back in successfully. Then I started reactivating them one by one, starting with the oldest/most essential (Akismet, for instance), logging out and logging back in. Logging in still seemed successful even after re-activating all – until I tried it in another browser. Sigh!

I only am using 13 plugins; this is making me really re-look at what’s absolutely needed, and what may not be. So that’s helpful at least.

So, if it’s not a plugin problem, do you have any thoughts on what else might be happening?

No, this is my own portfolio WP site, and I am the only user. No members. Hmmm. Perhaps I need to try disabling all plugins temporarily? and logging out/logging back in?

No, a link for me to reset the password myself is sent. No temp pw. And it doesn’t seem to matter whether I’ve directed the browser to keep the password or not, as to whether it works the next time I try to log in. If the browser does keep the pw, and WP doesn’t think it’s the right one, when I manually enter the pw, it still doesn’t work.

Oh, and as a follow up, this is a fairly recent phenomenon, within the last few weeks. It didn’t used to be that way! Perhaps since upgrading to 4.0 + …

Thanks for responding Tim. Yes, I have an account (have had for several years, actually). The password I set works once, and then when I return (usually when WP has auto-logged me out after some time, as I usually have left my site dashboard open on my home computer, for instance), the very same password no longer works. I have to click forgot password and reset it, then it works fine (once) – even if it’s the very same password I used most recently. THEN, the same thing happens again the next time I try to log in.

Does that help?

Ah, I see – the old “it’s not a bug, it’s a feature” issue (teasing!)

OK, well, I did a workaround on the site, and am just waiting to see if the course owner complains. So far so good. And thanks for getting back to me!

I think I can help you with your second and third points. To set a different header picture for the secondary pages or posts, scroll to the bottom of the page (in the editing screen) to where it says Set Image and Remove Image. You can put in a different one there.

To remove the headline, go to Appearance -> Customize, Site Title and Tagline. Just take the site name/title out of that field and leave it blank. I’m not sure which icon you mean – if you’re talking about the “See More” link which indicates to your users to scroll down, I don’t think there’s any way to remove that.

Good luck! and I hope someone can answer my question about menus! (posted a couple of days ago).

Never mind, I found the answer to this in a different, earlier, forum post. Thank you.

Could you explain specifically, in content.php, which lines to replace (where you note in your answer “replace the excerpt function with the content function”)? for those of us who aren’t theme developers ??
