DNN Wrong Password Reset link - asp.net

I have problems when I force reset passwords for my website users.
When I use this option, the next time the user logs in it will be prompted to change the password. My website link is something like this: Server/MyPortal.
When users login instead of taking them to:
Server/MyPortal/default.aspx?ctl=PasswordReset&resetToken...
They are redirected to:
Server/default.aspx?ctl=PasswordReset&resetToken...
Which obviously takes them to a 404 not found page because it is missing MyPortal.
Can anyone please shed some light on me and help me to fix this? Thank you very much!

What version of DNN are you on?
I would look at
Are you on the latest version
Are your Portal Aliases configured properly. To tell this, login as a Super User, go to the Admin/Site Settings page for the portal in question, find the Portal Aliases section, I believe that is under the Advanced tab. See if you have a misconfigured alias in there.
Another thing you might check, would be to check the Language files (admin/languages) to see if the password reset email could be modified there to include the proper portal URL. When editing language files in DNN you can edit System, Host, or Site.
You likely want to edit the SITE level if you have other websites running as well. Site level edits will only apply to that individual portal.

wp admin user name has been changed by someone

As a Administrator of my website (Wordpress with Woocommerce), I am unable to logged in on my website's wp-admin panel. Then I tried to log in from another user name and it got successfully logged me in, then I saw the name of my admin user has been changed. I am amazed how it was happened? who did it? and why ?
Please suggest me what should i do ?
How to avoid such incident again ?
Incase the culprit who did it, In the next attempt, if he/she changes name of my second user of wordpress, what i should do ?
I am afraid if the culprit change the names of my all wp users then what should i do?
It seems a hacking attack.
So I suggest you first , upgrade your plugins and themes.
Then don't forget to scan your whole site with wordfence.
Then secure it with wordfence , I suggest to use it's pro version, I really feel it useful.
Then tell your hosting to scan and make sure no security issue there.
Note : Don't forget to remove your ftp and extra admin or change their password at least.
Your task is done ..
Still confusion, consult with an expert like me.
Block or delete the mentioned admin account
Install a security plugin like Wordfence
Scan your whole site (with the plugin), it's very likely a backdoor has been installed for future attacs
Change all passwords of admin-accounts and advice your users to do the same
Change the passwords of your FTP, database and possible webserver-interface (if the username was changed, it's likely done directly inside the database)

Not able to log into wordpress website.... self hosting on Azure

When I try to sign into my websites wp-admin login screen it refreshes and redirects me to the login page. After researching this issue it looks like deactivating the plugins should fix the issue. However, when I try doing this from phpmyAdmin, it tells me that the UPDATE command is denied to user.
I have tried using the FTP client 'Fire FTP' to try and access my files but I do not know which username and password needs to be used (I have about a million at this point).
Is there somewhere in the Azure portal where I can edit my files and deactivate the plugins?
Other information: I accidentally deleted the file the had my Wordpress admin password, but I am able to log into Azure, and phpmyAdmin. I also have my cPanel login information but I cannot figure out how to access that either. I am also using a Mac.
Please help! I have a basic understanding of web development but not much and I have worked incredibly hard on my website business but this has been a rough setback.
Looking at your problem, FTP is your best option. You can define the user/password at the portal in your app service blade:
Login into the portal: https://portal.azure.com
Navigate to your app service blade
Look for Deployment Credentials and set your username/password.
I was able to resolve this. Turns out I had exceeded my database storage. Simply upgrading my plan fixed the issue. So if anyone sees this and has the same problem, make sue that your SQL db has enough storage available.
The plugins made me exceed my storage but I did not need to deactivate them.

Wordpress login with true username & password failed

I am managing a wordpress site. Recently, I have trouble with the login system. Even though I give the right username and password, it give me the login page again and again, instead of redirect me to the dashboard.
The solution that I usually do is dropping all the tables in the database and import them again. It temporary fixes the problem. But the problem still have possibility to exist.
Anybody know what the problem exactly is?
WordPress login issue, when you have 100% correct username and password, and it does not give you username/password incorrect error, but it just takes you back to login form... it is mostly due to some security measure by some plugin or theme. Most probably a plugin, could by JetPack's security feature, or any other security plugin like Bulletproof Security Plugin & AIO Security (as was the case in OP's situation.)
To make sure if that is the plugin, or which plugin, I suggest a quick work around, ftp/ssh to your server and rename plugins folder as plugins-old, and create new blank folder plugins for now.. and try to login now... this time if you can login perfectly, then it is some plugin, most probably security related plugin, now you can go back to ftp and restore the plugins folder, and then you will have to activate/disable one by one to see which plugin might be the issue.
I have faced this issue many times in the past and above approach has always helped me get it fixed.

Microsoft Azure wordpress install is not appearing

I have set up a second wordpress web app in Microsoft Azure however when i go to the url no wordpress install wizard is appearing. Not sure if this is because i am on a free account that can be used by students or if i have done something wrong? My first web app is still working. Thanks for any help.
It shouldn't have to do with anything about being a student. There is a free tier, and you can make multiple free tiered sites.
You didn't say what appears when you go to the URL though, so it could be any number of errors. Here is a checklist of what I'd go through:
Make sure you are going to the correct new URL
Can you FTP into the new web app, and verify there is WordPress code there? If not, something weird happened in the set up process! Delete the web app and try again, or simply upload WordPress yourself! Can get the files from WordPress.org and upload yourself using FTP
If WordPress code is there... What appears when you go to the URL? If it's an error message, something might have messed up in the install. You can always delete it and remake it to start again. Without knowing the error message, I can't really give more specific advice.
As a side note, did you create a new ClearDB MySQL database? Can you confirm there is a second database on your ClearDB account? If not, that could easily be the problem.
Sorry to give vague answers, but without more specifics to go on not many more details I can give. Except confirm that yes, you should be able to make multiple WordPress sites, so either something has gone wrong or you did something wrong.

WordPress MU: Login from main page but not individual blogs

I recently upgraded to WPMU 2.8.6 and ever since, my users can't log in on their individual blogs, but they can log in from the main page.
My site is at blogs.mtwp.net (we're a school district).
So if a user goes to blogs.mtwp.net/BLOGNAME/wp-login.php, their password is rejected. If they go to blogs.mtwp.net/wp-login.php, they can log in and get to the dashboard from there.
But it's not all users. Site admins can get in just fine.
We're using wpDirAuth 1.4 if that makes a difference.
Honestly, I'm stumped. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
you would seem to have enabled the WPdirauth plugin at the top level blog but not on others. Only your top level blog will have the necessary information to connect to your directory.
Site admins are not typically part of your internal directory - they're a Wordpress user which means they can still log-in ok without needing to connect to Active Directory or whatever you're using.
Enable WPdirauth on all blogs that you need users to login to.
Try reviewing your wp-config file. You should see something like this:
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true);
Depending on how you've configured Wordpress, this must be enabled to log in to the dashboard of secondary sites.
