  • Hi there,

    Have you checked the wp-config.php file to see if the “Authentication Unique Keys and Salts” were generated? If so, I would either delete it, or to be safe temporarily comment it out. Basically, by disabling the authentication unique keys and salts, you are taking away that extra layer of login security for your site.

    I would first try commenting out that entire code block starting from: “define(‘AUTH_KEY’, …)” to “define(‘NONCE_SALT’,…)”

    Then save the file and try visiting your site again. You might have to login at least once after doing this, but after that you shouldn’t have to be required to login again after re-visiting your site.

    I hope that helps.

    Hi there,

    I’m assuming you’re trying to install locally on a Mac? If so, these are the points I would usually check in the wp-config-sample.php file during installation:

    – Replace ‘database_name_here’ with the name of your database e.g. ‘barbershop_db’
    – Replace ‘username_here’ with the default username ‘root’
    – Replace ‘password_here’ with the default password ‘root’
    – Leave ‘localhost’ as is.
    – Save the file.
    – Finally, rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php

    I would then navigate to my browser and type in:

    “localhost:8888/YourWebsiteDirectoryName” e.g. “localhost:8888/barbershop”

    Hopefully that helps.

    Paulo
