Ok, I’m an idiot, but still changes nothing apparently. I realize you meant the “cache” folder inside wp-content. I deleted that folder, and still get the permissions error.

It seems to me strange that there are so many different fixes for the same problem. I have tried all the above and still get the same message when I try to do anything in the admin panel. In addition, everyone keeps mentioning the “cache” folder in the wp-includes folder, of which I do not have. I have a “cache” file, but no folder, and when I delete it, all I succeed in doing is getting a blank page instead of my admin panel.

I realize this is completely run by volunteers, and as such understand why it is not a simple fix, and why it is difficult to get an answer. However, I have seen so many posts about this, and so few real fixes…

Any ideas?

DO NOT, under any circumstances, use Globat. Their support is miserable, and their servers are always down.

By the way (and I hope this is not considered spam),
I would like to tell anyone thinking of doing so, NOT to use Globat as your webhost. They are continuously advertising cheap domains, cheap service, and that’s what you get! Their customer service is awful, and my site is down at least one week out of the month.
(Sorry for the outburst)

Ah…that could be it! They are a terrible host, and I really should change it, I am just lazy. Thanks, I will try that.

why don’t we continue this discuss. by email so we don’t clog the support pages. Shoot me an email at: [email protected] and we can talk further.

Sure. I can help. What’s the website?

ok, then. i will do this. strange though, i have never had this prob before. is there another post somewhere here that i missed that explains this problem?

Ok – I resolved my issue, don’t know if it was the same as Mickey’s. It was a plugin problem – the Most Wanted Plugin – and it wasn’t working because I had messed up and forgotten to install the plugin required for Most Wanted (which i didn’t know you needed), and somehow that is what screwed it up…I deactivated it, and whalla! No problems now.

Ok – I resolved the issue. It had nothing to do with Shoutbox, it was a different plugin – the Most Wanted Plugin – and it wasn’t working because I had messed up and forgotten to install the plugin required for Most Wanted (which i didn’t know you needed), and somehow that is what screwed it up…I deactivated it, and whalla!

Thanks for the suggestion, Tomhanna, but as I said, this is a login problem for several users, all on different computers (mac and IBM) all using different browsers and firewalls, and everyone has the same exact problem – blank screen after login. The only other thing I can think of is something that I found on one thread about a potential server upgrade that messes with some cookies settings…I dunno…My webhost is globat, if that matters. Their tech support is somewhat (very) lacking…

I may just have to wipe clean and try again – it’s so strange when stuff happens out of nowhere…

I have had the same problem. I have multiple users on the blog, all using different browsers, and one day none of us could log in. Before I wiped my cookies I was able to get to the login screen by going to wp-admin, but now I can’t access that either. I am able to type in a login/pass from login.php, but then it goes to a blank screen. jalenack, you mentioned that somehow cookies became disallowed by the domain…how might someone fix that?

Alright, I’m an idiot. Here’s the real server info:
