 * Hi,
 * I Have the website of camerabeanbags.co.uk and i have a sub domain of test.camerabeanbags.
   co.uk which i have duplicated the site to buy exporting the live DB and copying
   the files over to the test domain.
 * I have followed all recommended steps but on the wp-admin page when I go to login
   it just refreshes this page and thats all. Even if i use in valid credentials
   I don’t get an error of logging in, just a page refresh…
 * Below is what i have tried but has not worked.
 * 1. Tried from 3 different devices on 3 different networks
    2. Renaming the plugins
   folder to .old 3. Renaming the htaccess file to .old 4. Renaming my themes to.
   old so it uses the default 5. In PHPmyAdmin i have entered the new test.camerabeanbags.
   co.uk URL in the WP_options table 6. Also added the define rules to the WP-Config
   file 7. Cleared all browser cache 8. Asked host for error logs which there is
   non of 9. Created another user in the DB which also did not work
 * Please can you help me out here as this is driving me crazy as i don’t know the
   issue at all. I am trying to set file permissions in FTP to the recommended but
   I don’t believe this will work as I have never had to do this before. Any help
   is appreciated.
 * Thanks,
 * Harvey

 * If its a sub domain, `http://test.camerabeanbags.co.uk` should not redirect to`
   http://camerabeanbags.co.uk/test`
 * I am assuming you have already changed the home and site url on the test site.
