Description
Experience Level: Expert
General information for the website: Prowess.org.uk Wordpress website
Database management system (DBMS): MySQL
Description of requirements/features: A rogue login redirect is stopping me logging in to my website. When I put prowess.org.uk/wp-admin in the url it goes to:
http://www.prowess.org.uk/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fprowess.org.uk%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1 Then to a login page that keeps throwing me out (as admin status).
This problem seems to have accelerated. Over the past few days I have had a problem with a particular page
Prowess.org.uk/add-directory-listing - was continually redirecting to the prowess.org.uk home page, locking members out of adding their directory entry.
It worked OK for me - even when I loged in as subscriber status, rather than admin. (maybe cookies??)
Now the login redirect problem is stopping me accessing the admin panel at all....
Potential causes:
I had been using the restrict access pro plugin on prowess.org.uk but it caused problems so I deleted it. I had also previously used a login redirect plugin (peter's redirect plugin - now deleted) and FB login widget which has a login redirect, which I've taken off.
I think probably that one of those plugin functions has got stuck in the database.
I am not a programmer - so it's an assumption that this is a MySQL problem, could be something else?
Extra notes:
