WP login page missing

    This is weird… when I go the the usual wp-login URL for my site, I no longer see the page requesting my username and password. Instead I just see the WP logo and below it the link for “Lost your password?” and a link to go to my website, which is still working just fine. This has been happening all week and I was thinking that there was a WP glitch or something and was waiting for it to get fixed, but alas not!

    I can still login through my web hosting service, SiteGround. Everything looks fine… it’s running WP 5.9 with the Neve theme and all plugins are up-to-date. I don’t recall updating any themes or plugins prior to the problem occuring. I’ve tried accessing the login page through a different computer, but still get the same problem.

    Any clues as to might be happening please?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    I no longer see the page requesting my username and password.

    It’s the same page, but the login form is missing.

    Something — and I don’t know what this “something” is — is adding the inline style display:none to the login form, effectively hiding it. See screenshot below.

    Again, I don’t know what exactly is adding this.

    In the second screenshot below, you’ll see I removed this inline style and the form appeared.

    Great, thanks so much George!

    That looks like the “hide backend” function in the iThemes Security Pro plugin which I’m using, but I haven’t enabled that feature and I can see it is still turned off.

    Upon further investigation I noticed that the most recent version v7.1.0, released on 2022-01-31, had a bug fix regarding Passwordless Login. I’ve now disabled that function which was turned on by default, and it now seems to be working normally! Whew…

    I want to do a new post but I can’t login to my dashboard. Username and password let me in to here but I can’t get into my dashboard. I would much appreciate advice.

    I should have said that I am used to getting to my dashboard by typing in web address/admin. Thanks in anticipation. Royce
