I have run into a bit of a weird problem on a site i created a couple of years ago. No new plugins have been added recently or anything else changed on the site for the last 6 months. Besides from the site admins adding content to the page.
But now, they cant acces the wp-login page. They just get a blank page and a 500 error.
I have looked around the web for some solutions, and have tried the most common ones i come accros:
Tried turning plugins off.
Tried changing the theme to default.
Tried deleting .htcacces file.
Checked if the wp-login.php was updated as to the wordpress codex
Some people have reported that they could acces the login page, by trying to access a specific wp-admin page and then get redirected. This does not work for me either.
None of the solutions above gave any results, so i am now at a bit of a loss.
The frontend of the site is working just fine btw.
Any ideas?
Have you tried increasing the PHP memory limit?
you did not mention it and maybe it could help
Create a file called php.ini
Paste memory=64MB in there.
Upload it into your /wp-admin/ folder using FTP
If this answer helps you. it's a memory issue and you need to figure out what takes your PHP memory limit.

I have a website that is hosted with gandi, the website was only showing initially for the wordpress admin and anyone who was not an admin could not see the website. After I tried somewhat haphazardly to find solutions, the website got completely disabled with a connection_timed_out error and I don't know if this was due to my actions. I remember disabling and enabling DNS records, Disabling and enabling DNSSEC. Deleting my HTTPS free SSL certificate and requesting another. I've reuploaded a version of the website that is from a week before the problem occurred using FTP a couple of days ago but the problem still persists. I now only have access through FTP and have deactivated all the plugins, renamed all the theme folders so Wordpress defaults to the original theme. I've increased the memory limit on wp-config.php file by adding 'define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M' );' at the end, set the debug mode to true in that same file and I've also added'php_value max_execution_time 60' in .htaccess file but to no avail the website continues to give the connection timed out error.
I also bought the domain as deeraadesign.com, I remember the website completely crashing after I changed the site url on wordpress to deeraadesign.com from www.deeraadesign.com and I'm thinking that may have thrown off wordpress and now it is redirecting back and forth to a domain that is not the wordpress website? maybe DNSSEC destroyed the domain? Maybe I have too many themes on the website even though I have tried to deactivate them? I just don't know and all the solutions online are the saying the same things that I have already tried and not telling me anything new.
I mean, I have around 5 websites on gandi but it can't be the memory limit either as my hosting company says I only have 7GB/20GB and it also says my website is published and accessible?? so the problem is on Wordpress's end? Any help would be very much appreciated...
Thank you,
Hameed
Try this
add
php_value max_execution_time 300
in .htaccess file
Hope it will work
I’m using the latest version of Wordpress (4.7.4).
I have something very weird going on in my Dashboard. Not sure when this started.
Can’t say for sure it started with the latest version of Wordpress or not.
My Dashboard became completely useless.
It’s like it’s showing me a flashback of a Dashboard from a few days or hours ago:
Comments I’ve deleted in the Dashboard (hitting “trash”) are suddenly back there, awaiting my moderation.
Plugins I’ve deactivated or even deleted are all back there and according to Dashboard still running (while in my FTP folder they’re certainly gone).
The plugin page cannot be trusted anymore as it shows some plugins are activated that aren’t and vice versa. I have to check on my actual website to confirm which ones are running.
Updates aren’t shown correctly. Once I’ve updated a plugin, a few minutes later it shows me again that there’s a new update.
As you can tell it’s all pretty much the same phenomenon.
It’s as if I’m seeing an older version of my Dashboard.
Not sure what else is broken.
The only other thing I noticed is that even on my actual blog I still see a comment. Blog post says “1 comment”, but the actual comment doesn’t show up.
At first, this all sounds like a “cache problem”.
But I’ve already turned off all caching:
No caching plugin installed
Turned off server caching via htaccess
Disabled leverage browser caching
Emptied my own browser cache
Other things I tested:
Turn off all plugins.
Switch to the standard Wordpress theme “Twenty Twelve”
I tried WP_DEBUG, but nothing related shows up.
I researched the internet, but nobody has described a similar problem, so I suppose this is not a common Wordpress issue.
The issue remains.
Unfortunately I’m not a developer and don’t know too much about the Wordpress codex etc.
But to me it sounds that the mistake is definitely not in the plugin or theme folder.
The problem is that I’ve reached the point where I really cannot turn off plugins via Dashboard properly anymore. It’s so annyoing!
My questions are:
Is it safe to assume that this is related to the Wordpress core
files?
What files exactly are in “charge of” the Dashboard?
Should I just try to re-download the newest Wordpress version and replace a few files (if so which ones)?
Should I do a clean Wordpress re-install or would that be too drastic?
Any other suggestions?
EDIT:
Additionally I tried now:
I manually downloaded the newest version of Wordpress and did just as
described on the Wordpress.org website. I manually replaced wp-admin,
wp-include folders and all root files. The issue remains...
The way my Dashboard is right now, I really can’t use it.
Please advice!
I contacted my host service again.
They just gave me the same line to insert into my .htaccess file and I told them I already tried it and it didn't work.
I then showed them my .htaccess file and they deleted the whole part that concerned their server caching.
Now server caching is completely off and everything works again.
Still not sure why this previously never caused issues.
In the end, it had nothing to do with Wordpress.
I hope this answer will help people who run into similar problems.
so I'm working on a wordpress site (found at nsuited.com) and my problem is that the checkout is causing a redirect loop. I have searched the internet for this problem and it mostly seemed to be related to forcing ssl or using an https wordpress plugin. I am doing neither, and everything was running fine until randomly the redirect started occurring. There's way too much code to post it all, but if there is anything specific you'd like to see let me know. I have tried changing the woocommerce checkout page, which then allowed me to access the checkout page as a page itself but I could not actually checkout from it. If I try to go to whatever page is set to checkout, BAM redirect loop again. I'm at a huge loss and have not been able to find any significant leads from debugging. Please help :(
EDIT: Also pertinent information - I recently moved my installation from a subfolder to root, though the checkout page was working since I moved installations
Problem solved.
I had tried this before without succes:
Add
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M');
to the file "wp-config.php". When I added it initially, I put it at the end to no avail. Put it as the very first line of code for glory.
I have a wordpress site which is acting strange lately. It seems like the database is spontaneously rolling back a few hours from time to time. I have noticed it happen at least four times.
When I updated to wordpress 3.5, after a short time, maybe 30-60 minutes I noticed the nag to upgrade was back. I ran the upgrade a second time, even though I was certain that I had already upgraded.
I added a new category and changed a widget on one of my sidebars, only to find that my changes were gone the next day and I had to redo them.
I added a post yesterday, linked to it in various places and then returned several hours later to find the post missing. I rewrote the post from memory and put it back on the site.
This morning when I went to the site, the original post was back and the one that I had recreated from memory was gone. The post's id number was the same as the previous day. I think there was also a draft post that disappeared and reappeared as well.
One last clue which may or may not be related is that when I go to a page on the blog that should generate a 404 message I get a single piece of text which says: "defaced by t3ll0" I noticed this recently, within the last few weeks. I'm not sure how long it has been like that.
I ran Sucuri Scanner, and it found no evidence of malware. Any suggestions of how to troubleshoot this? Could this be a problem with my database rather than wordpress?
UPDATE: It appears that the primary problem I was noticing was because of two versions of the site being up simultaneously. The DNS settings had not been updated to the new site. I'm still investigating if the site was hacked.
You got hacked. "defaced by t3ll0" is the clue. Someone has control of your site and your hosting account.
Work your way through these resources and follow all instructions to completely clean your site or you may be hacked again. See FAQ: My site was hacked « WordPress Codex and How to completely clean your hacked wordpress installation and How to find a backdoor in a hacked WordPress and Hardening WordPress « WordPress Codex.
Change all passwords. Scan your own PC for spyware that may have grabbed your login and password.
http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/ is a good resource, but it scans for malware and not accounts that were hacked and are not being used to distribute malware or have spam links.
Tell your web host you got hacked; and consider changing to a more secure host: Recommended WordPress Web Hosting
You have not applied security may be at number of places.
1. File permissions, folder permissions.
2. Upload folder permissions.
3. Execute permissions.
Now, if you are not a developer how would you check for these vulnerabilities?
I am suggesting you to take a backup of your DB(Export it). Get rid of the existing WP core and reinstall it from fresh.
Delete all plugins and install them all from fresh sources.
If you have used a custom theme then get the backed up version of it and delete the current one as there is a deface to it.
And you can check for a lot of vulnerabilities with plugins like this: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/better-wp-security/
Rename your administrator account. Harden your password. Remove write permission from .htaccess and wp-config.php file.
This is a weird one. I googled for hours but seems to me not a single person has this same issue.
I moved my website from http://www.domain1.com/wpfolder to http://www.domain2.com . Everything works fine except I cannot get the "wp-login.php?redirect_to" path to point to the correct url.
WordPress keeps setting it to:
"wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://www.domain2.com/wpfolder/wp-admin&reauth=1"
It should be setting it to:
"wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://www.domain2.com/wp-admin&reauth=1"
The "wpfolder" doesn't exist anymore..
I followed the instructions exactly on how to move a WordPress website, but the darn URL won't change...
Some forum mentioned changing the "site_url" and "home" from "http://www.domain2.com" to "http://domain2.com". Now I can finally get to the admin panel, but I don't get why it needs to be that way?
I cleaned my browser cookies and checked the wp-content folder for cache already. Nada..
Also the rest of the site is functional.
I would appreciate if anyone can help.
I moved the WordPress website from GoDaddy to Bluehost by copying the files and the database and the problem went away. I am not sure why this fixed it, but assuming it has something do with the cache.
If anybody has more information, I would love to read about it.
Thanks
I was facing the same issue, with same redirection to one of the sub-directory in which wordpress was installed.
Resolved this issue, by clearing the cache, if some cache plugin is active.
Or by deleting the cache plugin if any present and is currently not yet active.
As some entries made by cache plugin inside wp-config.php file creates the above mentioned problem.
After removing the cache plugin, it resolves the WP-admin URL issues.
