Wordpress Login stuck in redirect!

Share |
Got stuck and can't login into wordpress admin, even with entering the CORRECT password?

I was working on migrating a clients' wordpress website and made a little mistake hoo-ha. Things got messy with 2 wordpress login screens, and before I knew it, I logged myself out. Great...

Some suggested its the browsers cookies getting confused, cleared that, and still no leadway. Finally found a post that reminded me of what happened in the split second.

This was what happened:

So even if you don't have access to phpAdmin, no problems. Just edit the wp-config.php file and you are good to go.

Add the 2 lines to get yourself back on board:

define('WP_HOME', 'http://sitename.com');
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://sitename.com');

For a more complete variety of options, if this unfortunately does not work.

Yet again, to live for another day.

  3. Anyone who finds this, what worked for me was making sure I had "www." before my domain name in these settings
