 * Hi there,
 * I’m currently stuck in a login loop. Not sure I changed anything prior to it 
   locking me out but obviously must have done something!
 * I have tried all of the steps on the fixing login article here: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/login-trouble/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/login-trouble/)
 * Kind of running out of options. Hoping someone can lend me a hand.
 * Using cPanel with PHP version 7.3.6 and phpMyAdmin version 4.9.4.
 * I’m of intermediate level.
 * Thanks,
    Jack
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flogin-loop-20%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * What do you mean by a login loop?
 * If the login page keeps refreshing, enter your credentials.
    Then (as soon as
   the login screen refreshes) manually type [https://example.com/wp-admin/](https://example.com/wp-admin/)(
   replace example.com with your own domain name) into your browser address bar 
   and hit Enter. What happens?

 * I enter my login details correctly – I’ve also done the phpMyAdmin change password
   method – and hit Log In. That all seemingly works correctly but then goes back
   to the login page.
 * If I then go to /wp-admin it just takes me back to the login page.
 * No matter what I do it always takes me to the following web address: [http://roundtablepost.co.uk/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.roundtablepost.co.uk%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1](http://roundtablepost.co.uk/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.roundtablepost.co.uk%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1)

 * Hallo [@dalia78](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dalia78/) 🙂
 * Your issues are most likely different from the Original Poster (OP)’s issue.
   
   Please create your own topic.

 * You can try renaming your plugin folder via File Manager (or equivalent) on your
   hosting panel.

 * Thank you Carike, just to repeat though I have gone through everyone option on
   this link one-by-one: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/login-trouble/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/login-trouble/)
 * I’ve tried both pluginsXX and themesXX and both at the same time. I’ve tried 
   editing phpMyAdmin as well as replacing the /wp-login file with a brand new one.
   The whole list.
 * Does anyone have any tips for tracking this down via debugging techniques? It’s
   obviously a corrupt file somewhere but I’m not sure how to track it down.
 * I seem to remember the last change I made was to changes the ‘header’ menu in
   the Formota theme from option 1 to option 4 and hit publish. Looking at my homepage
   it seems to still be on option-1 so maybe something got stuck there? Disabling
   the theme by changing ‘themes’ to ‘themesXX’ didn’t seem to work – is there another
   file or folder I could/should be renaming or changing? It could just be a coincidence
   that change was the issue or it could have already logged me out and hence not
   made the change. I’m unsure.
 * Thanks for the responses so far.

 * Okay… So nothing has changed overnight and I can now login this morning.
 * Not really sure what information I can provide for others who might be having
   the same experience except to go through the login-trouble article.
