Hello Pdcancel,

Sorry to hear you’re having problems with the login. Sounds very puzzling indeed. For security’s sake, one thing you can do is limit access to your WP-admin by IP address – at least temporarily. Then only you can access your admin and work on your site in security. Check out this article for information on this issue:

Brute Force Attacks

Look for “Limit Access to Wp-admin by IP”.

If you’re clearing you’re cache and you’re trying to use the password that your browser has saved, it will generally be cleared and you’ll have to re-enter it. However, you did say that your password is disappearing after you type it in and BEFORE you hit the enter key on the login page.

I’d start with limiting the login so that you’re not getting hacked while you’re figuring it out. One quick thing you can also do is make sure to check and repair your MySQL databases – you may need to check your host for that. It doesn’t hurt to do this just in case the database has some problems.

Make sure that you’re going to your login page (double-check the URL you’re seeing when you login). Check your .htaccess file for any re-directs that look suspicious. If you only have your WordPress installation then it should it should look like the one in this post:

If that isn’t the issue, start simplifying your installation.
If you’re running a bunch of plugins – make sure that’re not having anything to do with your login issue by disabling them. Strange things can happen if you have a plugin is going awry.

If you continue to have the problem, then provide us more information about what you’re seeing. Please post any error messages if you continue to have the problem. We’d be happy to try to help!

Hello Ms. Chris,

Happy Birthday! The Moving WordPress article really does cover every possibility, but in this case, you’re just basically duplicating the site. This was originally answered here:

Creating a copy of WordPress install

They mention a plugin that might make this a whole lot easier too. Check out this one: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/duplicator/

I hope this makes it easier to make that copy!

Hello Wpwp14,

The Read More function is actually explained in the WordPress codex, here:

Check it out and let us know if you any further questions.

Hi GMoney19,

Glad to hear that you’re able to login again. It looks like you have your WordPress installation set up in the /wordpress subdirectory. I would recommend first trying to change the SITE URL in the Administrator Dashboard. Look and see what URL you have set in there. That’s the easiest thing to do first.

If you changed the wp-config.php page, you would need to make sure that your define statements are set to where you want the site to be coming from.

Let us know if that helps!

Hello Theregoesjb,

Were you using any custom permalinks? I would first make sure to reset those. Just set them to default, and then save. Then set them back so that WordPress re-creates the links. Also, we have also dealt with issues where the database is NOT updated with the links. But there’s a pretty easy solution to it.

Download you SQL file (you already have, I believe).

Open the SQL file in a text editor and then do a find and replace with temp URL. That way you replace ALL of the paths and they won’t be missed. Save the file and re-import. This is much easier than using a MySQL update query, but you can do that too, if that’s what you like to do.

Hope that helps!

Hi Dgpro7,

I loaded the IMPULSE theme on my test site, but I don’t see that text for that theme. Can you please provide us more information? Or a URL? We can then see what text you’re dealing with so that we can help.

Thanks!

Hello Albuck2,

I’m going to take a stab at this, and hopefully it will lead you to the solution. When you move from one host to another, the path used for the location may not always be exactly the same. In this case your database files for WordPress are LOOKING for the path /home/creati14/public_html/. If that directory structure is NOT in your new host, then your WordPress installation will NOT work. It might be easier to migrate your database in AFTER you have re-created a new WordPress installation.

Checkout the relevant parts of this article:

Moving WordPress

You’re moving the site and moving servers, so you’ll need to make sure that the database matches up with your new location.

I hope that points you in the right direction! Sorry for all the problems!

Hello Gourav9213,

I was looking at the settings in my own default installation. We need a little more information from you in order to properly troubleshoot the issue. What plug-in are you using to send email to your posters?

Please provide us this information and we can try to find you an answer.

Thanks!
