Cant' login wp-admin / wp-login.php error

    Hello,

    I can’t login to my wordpress website anymore after changing the admin password. Not sure if it has anything to to with this but the website was infected with a virus a few days ago. (this was cleaned by Sucuri Monitor)

    When I go to http://www.immassur.be/wp-admin I get this message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in /nfs/home/deb47268n14/domains/immassur.be/public_html/wp-login.php on line 399

    I’ve had a look at the wp-login.php file I see there’s a problem but I can’t find it.

    This is line 399 from the file: setcookie( ‘wp-postpass_’ . COOKIEHASH, $hasher->HashPassword( stripslashes( $_POST[‘post_password’] ) ), time() 10 * DAY_IN_SECONDS, COOKIEPATH );

    Does anybody know what to do? Thx!

    I would take reinstall WordPress instead of using the cleaned files form Sucuri. You should be able to over override the old file with new files. You theme and data would still be there but you will have a clean install.

    You will chase your tail if the core files have been touched.

    I’m in again! 🙂

    Line 399 in wp-login.php was changed to:
    setcookie( ‘wp-postpass_’ . COOKIEHASH, $hasher->HashPassword( stripslashes( $_POST[‘post_password’] ) ), time() 10 * DAY_IN_SECONDS, COOKIEPATH );

    I replaced the line with a copie from another wp site to this:
    setcookie( ‘wp-postpass_’ . COOKIEHASH, $wp_hasher->HashPassword( stripslashes( $_POST[‘post_password’] ) ), time() + 10 * DAY_IN_SECONDS, COOKIEPATH );

    I can now login again and will reinstall WordPress to have a clean install.

    Thanks for your help!
