In reply to: Wp-admin gives unknown username errorI think I found a solution, this looks like it solved it for me: (When I log in the very first time I get a cookie error so I found this and tried it, seems to work fine now)
A permanent fix to cookies being blocked If neither solution works, try this more technical fix. You’ll need some technical/coding knowledge to add this code in. First of all, you’ll need to open your website’s function.php file. Then add the following code: setcookie(TEST_COOKIE, 'WP Cookie check', 0, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN); if ( SITECOOKIEPATH != COOKIEPATH ) setcookie(TEST_COOKIE, 'WP Cookie check', 0, SITECOOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN);

In reply to: Wp-admin gives unknown username errorI am having the exact same error since about 2 days ago. I noticed that when I create a fresh wordpress installation it looks like the email address is shortened (rendering retreiving password unusaable)
My symptoms: I couldnt log into my existing site or retrieve my password – Username and Password doesn’t exist (the same I’ve been using for months).
I do a fresh WordPress installation, am able to work on the fresh installation.
I create 2 extra users since I was afraid I will be locked out again.I am able to log in with the extra users.
When I close my browser or after an hour or so NONE of the usernames, email addresses or passwords work on the site.
The usernames and passwords also can’t get a reset password link.
I am thus locked out of the site.
I downloaded an tested a Send email from wordpress plugin to test if WP can send emails and it could.
When I try to change the credtenials from myPHP in the database the also does not work.
I tried resetting with md5 password and multiple other attempts.
Is this something on my side I don’t understand Why the credentials disappear? I read there was a Woo Commerce security breach on the 15th of July does this have something to di with that?
