 * I’m a newbie to wordpress. I’ve completed a clean install of latest version. 
   When I try to customize the default themes (either twenty 10 & 11), I get the
   standard log-in screen. I log-in…flashes “successful” but then the log-in screen
   immediately comes back with error message “Your session has expired. Please log-
   in again.” I’ve tried most of the suggestions in many of the prior posts on this
   type of error. I’ve disabled all plugins. I’ve tried with several different browsers
   including Firefox, Chrome, IE on my PC. On my my iPad I get a different error“
   too many redirects”. If I cannot get this resolved soon I will have to dump wordpress
   and find an alternative (no idea what though). Please Help!
