Facebook like boxes not buttons. The iframes should have no issues. Try it on your site(s), you will see it fail I’m sure.

That’s peculiar then – why would it do that after I updated WP and it upgraded the db? I’ll go digging around more and see what I find.

Thank you kmessinger – the only reason it says ‘mysite’ is cause I put that in the thread to be generic (pardon that). Turning off registration did not seem to make any difference though. I’ll leave it off anyways for now.

But just to satisfy the curiosity I search and found 0 matches for ‘mysite’ in the db.

Even stranger, using IE after deleting cookies/cache: if I go to https://bradscustomauto.com/wp-admin/ I get a 404. Any success I’ve had has been in Opera.

The work around I was using earlier doesn’t work with IE.

Hi tasty – does that mean to set WP_DEBUG to ‘true’ ?

If I need to edit the php.ini file I’ll need to contact the host. Although I recall there was a way to force it in wp-config.php assuming apache is set to allow over rides.

@tasty – yes I did try to add www. and that didn’t work. Site’s URL in the DB matches what it should be. I am not using the dubdubdub.

I also set that in wp-config.php but it made no different so I removed it.

Im using /%category%/%postname%/ permalink structure..

Getting into the dashboard now is nice, but it’s the way I have to get in there that’s confusing.

Unsolved Mysteries – *UPDATE*

“We still have no f***ing clue what’s wrong” ??

BUT! Just scrolling through the thread looking at kmessinger post (yes about Brads site) I clicked the reauth=1 link again and it directed me to the wp-login.php page again where I entered my creds again but this time I went to the dashboard..

So to make this perfectly clear, here are my steps:

I typed in: https://bradscustomauto.com/wp-admin/ and was directed to a 404 page telling me these aren’t the droids I’m looking for.

I then cut and pasted the below link into the same browser window/session and it goes to the wp-login.php page (again) prompting me to login (again) and then it sends me to the dashboard.

https://bradscustomauto.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

I’m confused as to why it’s behaving this way.

Thanks for your help fellers – yes indeed it does do this even with the entire plugin folder disabled (renamed to plugins.off)

Today I updated to WP 3.2.1 and updated the custom theme to the latest and greatest version…

Reinstalling the entire site may resolve it but we’ll all be back at the drawing board if this ever happens again so I’m holding out for a fix.

@ tasty.donuts – yes after it 404’s I’ve tried that, even tried manually typing out URLs like /wp-admin/users.php just to get to a page anywhere on the dashboard, tried some .htacess tricks in the wp-admin folder and other statements to ‘allow all’. I’ve tried CHMOD (just cause) some other different tricks recommended in any slightly relevant article, just trying to force my way in.

I did try to move my theme folder away (deleted it) and the site came up blank (this was after the 3.2.1 upgrade) not sure why it didn’t go to 2011 theme. It actually gives me a 500 error after I login (when I move away the present theme). I might have to set something in the db telling it to look to the default? But I thought WP would default to Twenty Eleven.

https://bradscustomauto.com/wp-login.php – this is working so you can get to the site.

Yeah I’m pretty sure that isn’t correct behavior as explained in the posts above. I cannot get to the dashboard.

Yup.. so working on this again. I just manually updated to WP 3.2.1 and this site is still having the issue. When I go to /wp-admin/ I am directed to the login screen. However after I enter my creds, I am redirected to a 404 page who’s URL looks like:

https://mysite.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

I’ve tried several different combinations of .htaccess files and wp-config.php as I found in searching google/www.remarpro.com

I’ve tried making sure that the URL is written correctly in the wp_options table in the db, I’ve tried praying to a higher power. I’ve tried smoking lots of pot to forget about it, I’ve tried communicating with the dead, and even tried singing to my computer..

My .htaccess

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Thanks Jose – we’re running the latest php and sometimes deprecated warnings get through to the header no matter what .htaccess rules we set.

Thanks again!

NM looks like I found my solution here: https://forums.devnetwork.net/viewtopic.php?t=118057#p613567

Theme busted and abandoned then?

Fantastic! Email sent

Basically it was working fine one day and the next /wp-admin and wp-login.php and redirecting me to a 404 page.

I’ve tried over writing the files with the latest ones and all the suggestions you see above in my previous posts. I know I can just reinstall but that doesn’t help me solve the issue therefore I’ve left it like this to better understand what is going on — hopefully resolve it.

We’re all having this issue ?? but it’s not an area that WP seems to know much about.
