meilershsag, 1 of the things we always do when troubleshooting a request like this is to get a barebones system in place. Not as a permanent solution, of course, but for troubleshooting purposes.

I’m pretty certain that your LMS is part of the problem. I’m also concerned that a security plugin to prevent brute force attempts may be as well. Additionally, I have very serious concerns about your editions to your wp-config.php file.

I can identify w/getting stuff dumped on you–that’s a tough row to hoe. I’m trying really hard to help here. But that is going to require, as a temporary solution, that we go vanilla theme & no plugins, as well as commenting out your edits to wp-config.php, & see if the site is working w/a configuration like that. Then we start adding stuff, 1 thing at a time, to see where it breaks. Once we figure that out, the fix is usually evident.

This is why I suggested that perhaps another install to a different folder might be in order, but, having said that, stuff isn’t working well anyway, so troubleshooting it the way it is might not be problematic. Renaming & not deleting folders is the name of the game, so it’s not like stuff is being destroyed, just inactivated.

The site worked for me in Firefox. It cratered in Chrome.

I tend to use a plugin called Interconnectit, available from:
https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
to replace all instances of a domain name in the database w/another domain name. It does require that you back up your database first. It should also be deleted once you’re done, as it can pose a security risk if miscreants get hold of it.

Commenting stuff out on your wp-config.php file can be done by putting /* in front followed by */ at the end of the line to be deactivated.

Please let’s try this & see where we stand.

meilershsag, I wish ’twere as simple as changing out wp-login.php, but that is not the problem, & I’d be willing to bet money on that, which testifies to my certainty about it :).

Are you running any caching on that site? Or is GD caching it for you?

Well I don’t exactly know what happened, but I have been able to log in from the main page using a browser I’ve not used before. But once logged in, it seems like it’s perpetual, & that is not cool.

From what I can see, the LMS seems to be governing the login behavior. So it’s either that your site is being cached, the LMS holds on to the cookie perpetually, or a combination. If you’re sure your site’s not being cached, then I’d consult w/the LMS vendor. If it is, there should be a way to uncache login pages.

I’m looking at the source of this plugin. It’s talking about using flash. Surely not, right? Because Adobe won’t be supporting it by year’s end, & most if not all mobile devices don’t support it now.

You say you recently moved the site to another domain. Did you do a search-&-replace of the database to change all url’s? Or did you just start over w/a new database?

derian00, here’s a link to some configs for a WordPress site using Nginx & PHPFPM. Note I replaced the actual domain name w/the placeholder domain-name.com. HTH.

Hello, derian00 & welcome.

What is your permalink structure? Was Nginx compiled w/rewriting enabled?

How are you interfacing Nginx w/PHP, ie, PHPFpm, etc?

This is the sort of thing that really necessitates posting your config files & perhaps relevant error log entries. That would include Nginx config, any virtual hosts configs, PHP configs, etc. Should you decide to do that, you might want to use something like pastebin, & you’ll definitively want to comb thru those files to ensure they don’t contain any credentials &/or other information that might compromise your site.

Alternatively, you might wish to think about going to jobs.wordpress.net to file a request for help there. I feel pretty certain someone technically competent w/Nginx who’s able to look at the necessary files should be able to knock this out pretty quickly.

I would also try commenting out your additions to wp-config.php & see if that helps.

Hello, wppileyrei, & welcome.

Well, as you mention, there are a lot of membership plugins, & many will do what you want. S2member, UltimateMember, & Simple Membership plugin are all well-known & either of these will likely help you accomplish your goals. Assuredly there are others as well. I personally have used all 3. Each have filled a specific need.

Many of these plugins have very nice tutorials, often videos if you like that sort of thing, on how to set them up.

Most of these plugs separate admins from regular membership, but individual settings in most of them can be tweaked if required.

We’re not at liberty on these forums to endorse a particular product, & we shouldn’t, because we really don’t know if it meets your specific needs. 1 thing many professional web developers do is to develop locally on our computers or on a staging site so we can install various plugins & see what their capabilities are, as well as how intuitive they feel to us, which obviously varies a great deal from person to person.

Feel free to ask specific questions here if you wish, as I suspect this reply wasn’t entirely helpful.

michaelyaoco, in that case, we’re not able to help much because the developer tools of our browsers, which we use to troubleshoot these sorts of problems, isn’t available because the URL isn’t available. Please go to ‘settings > ‘General’ on your dashboard & ensure the url is configured as https://. If you’re getting site errors in your browser’s development tool, then please let us know what those are. Please also provide your .htaccess file and/or any virtual host configuration files, changing the url as you deem appropriate.

Hello, Lloyd. I see you’ve been welcomed, but, welcome from me nonetheless.

There’s a lot you don’t tell us here, Lloyd. Firstly, what sort of hosting do you have, ie, shared, VPS, dedicated, managed, what? That would be really important for us to know.

Secondly–& please note I don’t ask often for folks to do this, because it really is a security risk. However, please edit your wp-config.php file & change the variable WP-DEBUG from false to true. Save the file, visit the site, & report any errors generated by doing that.

Once you’ve finished copying error messages, then please in the name of all that is good & right & all that other wonderful stuff–*change it back!!!*

It would also be helpful to know what plugins you’re running.

No prob, Zach! I’ll keep my subscription to this topic open for a bit so if you run into any more problems, I’ll be notified by email that you posted.

I’m still seeing site warnings referencing failure to load scripts pertaining to Google Analytics, Ads by Google, & Scorecard Research.

Nice site! I own 2 special needs kitties & a female Western Ornate box turtle.
