  • Update: My solution was to disable all plugins (I had to do it by moving them out of the plugins folder manually), then I was able to log in. I re-enabled plugins one by one after upgrading, but it seems things are working now even with most of the plugins back. Give that a shot if you’re still having problems.

    Forum: Installing WordPress
    In reply to: Can’t login

    Also still having this issue myself, absolutely can’t log in under any circumstances, any browsers, clearing cookies or not. I updated wp-config.php with the new keys, tried changing the password, tried manually creating a user – nothing works.

    No error message with the correct login, just returns me to the login screen.

    Also just noticed this problem – happens on Firefox3 and IE7/8 and Opera, etc. on a blog that’s been around for years and was just upgraded to 2.6.2. It just brings me back around to the login screen without an error (an error does show if I use incorrect creds).

    I second the motion to mark this support issue as not resolved, and also bring it back as a bug, as clearing cookies and using different browsers has no effect.

    This is a real bug, quite blatant. First noticed the problem when full posts weren’t coming through to Facebook note importing, and also verified it by viewing source in Firefox, the RSS actually does have truncated excerpts only regardless of the setting in the options.

    This has nothing to do with the <!–more–> tag, absolutely nothing. The code in feed-rss2.php shows the bug pretty clearly, seems the excerpt is the only text being included regardless of the option setting.

    Mojofofofo’s fix works great, but it’s a hack. Can we fix this in the main WP trunk please? It’s been a long long time. Is there a bug open?

    Okay, here’s an interesting possible cause… I found an entry for wp-cron.php and my IP address in my Bad Behavior database table, which means that a local request for wp-cron.php (as does happen frequently) will be sent a 403 Forbidden!!

    That could result in another kind of request loop that the above patch does not fix, but I’d call this a Bad Behavior bug and not a WordPress bug. I’ll be notifying them of it if it hasn’t already been fixed…

    I’m interested to hear if any others experiencing this problem have Bad Behavior installed, and can find an entry for wp-cron.php in its database.

    Personally I’ve disabled the plugin, and it seems to have fixed the problem completely. Requests to wp-cron.php in any sequence of saves now take about a second and then the server returns to normal. Finally!

    Yes, it would seem that the wp-cron.php implementation is fundamentally evil since it spawns ever increasing server requests which seem to stay persistent for a long time.

    In my experience this process can reproduce the problem quickly:

    1. Open a post, create it, and save it.
    2. Immediately re-edit the post (edit link on the post).
    3. Make a small edit and re-save the post.
    4. Repeat 2+3 twice more in sequence.

    I kept track of Apache’s status using an apache-status page and noted the following:

    With 1 save, wp-cron.php is spawned twice, with two http requests that are persistent for over 30 seconds.

    With 2 saves, wp-cron.php is spawned eight times, but the requests are equally persistent as with 1 save.

    With 3 saves, wp-cron.php is spawned over 20 times, which maxes out my small Apache server to its max_clients setting. This places the server into a swapping state which seems to make matters much worse — the wp-cron.php Apache processes then never release, and are constantly in a Responding state even after they begin serving other requests.

    It may just be me, but I see no need to ever spawn more than one wp-cron.php fork at a time. I think I will be submitting this as a bug…

    I believe the issue here is that “nobody knows what’s going on” — it’s a weird case. Even harder is finding any information on Apache crashes and debugging, or on this crazy problem of the maxed out load with Apache processes not releasing correctly… can’t find anything anywhere, except for other lost searchers posting cries for help…

    Uhh… what versions were those again?

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but WordPress 2.7 doesn’t exist. Maybe that’s your problem?

    Are you talking about the 2.1 upgrade from 2.0?

    [Edit: 2.0.7 vs 2.0.2 perhaps? Sorry…]

    Like Amory said of the “script” in development – I’m the developer, and a WordPress user, so I’m designing it to eventually have some tight integration features, which should all come through a plugin. Features might include “Insert Image” functions on the post page with a pop-up gallery widget to select which one, a sidebar widget to display the 1 or 4 or 6 most recent photos, etc etc. Possibilites aren’t limited right now, and I appreciate any ideas, so please leave comments on my site.

    Don’t expect anything usable for another few weeks, and even more after that for the WP integration features. However, if you take a look, I think you’ll agree it’s going to be quite good.
