 * Hi,
 * I am currently working on a HR website, it was working find few hours ago and
   it seems that my login page keeps refreshing itself after it was idle. I have
   the correct username and password as I’ve been working on the site for days now.
 * I’ve tried the following but none of them solved the issue:
    1) Cleared cache
   and cookies and tried logging in < did not solve issue 2) Renamed plugin folder
   and tried logging in < did not solve issue 3) Renamed my theme’s folder and tried
   logging in < did not solve issue 4) I do not have/ could not find a .htaccess
   file in any of my dir folders
 * Please help and Thank you.

 * Hello stephs11, & welcome. First, could you please provide a site url? Second,
   is this a single or multisite installation?

 * Hi Jackie,
 * Thank you for your respond.
 * However I’ve managed to resolved the issue. It was due to corrupted .htaccess
   file. Initially I couldn’t find it as it was set as a hidden file.
 * All I had to do was show hidden files in the settings in cPanel.
 * All good now. Thanks again.
