Cannot login to new blogs

Hello,

I got a weird problem I cannot figure out. I have installed WordPress MU 2.8.6 and Buddypress 1.1.3. Now I have no problem logging into my main site but I cannot log into new blogs that have been created.

No matter how I arrive at the login screen for the blog, I enter my user name and password but nothing happens. No error message. The page just goes back to the WP login.

I even changed the password of the new blog to the password of my main blog through my main admin area so I know the password is correct but absolutely nothing happens.

Any ideas about how to correct this? I can’t even tell if this is a WP MU or Buddypress problem.

Thanks,

Ed Brancheau

    Hello Andrew,

    So I cleared my cookies and browsing history. Didn’t help.

    I also changed the names of both mu-plugins and plugins to disabled them all temporarily. Didn’t help.

    Also, here’s the address that clicking the “Log in” link:

    http://thefastestwaytomakemoney.com/affiliateprogramearncash/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://thefastestwaytomakemoney.com/affiliateprogramearncash/wp-admin/

    Now, am I correct in assuming that all new blogs created under an user will have the same username and password that they used when they originally signed up?

    Finally, as a “user” I never received a confirmation email that a new blog was established. But as the “admin” I did receive a notification that a new blog was built.

    This just baffles me. WPMU and Buddypress can be used together for users to create new blogs, right? It’s just really weird that I just get a loop with no error message.

    Thanks,

    Ed

    Hiya.

    Now, am I correct in assuming that all new blogs created under an user will have the same username and password that they used when they originally signed up?

    Yep.

    WPMU and Buddypress can be used together for users to create new blogs, right?

    Correct.

    Do you get redirected back to the login form if you try to login as a site admin? What happens if you login via the frontpage and then go to the blog?

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    If I login into my main account then My Blogs >> Dashboard of the new blog, it takes me to the same login as if I went directly to the blog:

    http://thefastestwaytomakemoney.com/affiliateprogramearncash/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://thefastestwaytomakemoney.com/affiliateprogramearncash/wp-admin/

    Is it correct to have the link “redirect” as it says in the URL?

    Is there a specific file that need to have file permissions set or a line of code added such as “wp-config”?

    Thanks,

    Ed

    Nope.

    Have you made any changes to wp-config.php? If so can you copy/paste any lines you’ve added here?

    Thanks,

    I don’t recall changing anything and as far as I can tell, the wp-config.php file pretty much matches the file that I just downloaded from WPMU. But here’s the code so you can check it out yourself:

    Also, I completely deleted all of the plugins one by one and still cannot log in.

    Any other ideas? Maybe I should just start over? If so, what’s the best way to backup the database?

    Thanks,

    Hrm, what’s the exact domain the cookies are being created for?

    I’m not quite what you’re asking Andrew but as far as I can tell, according to the wp-config.php file, it’s:

    www.thefastestwaytomakemoney.com

    Also I just want to confirm you are logging in as site admin to your main blog before trying to visit others?

    Aaron, I have tried going directly to the new blog’s dashboard directly from my main admin area as well as completely logging out and then trying to login directly through the new blog. Both ways end up the same… the login screen just seems to refresh.

    Thanks,

    Ed

    I don’t remember but I just went into the wp-config.php file and took out the “www.” to try that. Well, it pretty much disabled my entire site so I changed it back to “www.thefastestwaytomakemoney.com”

    Thanks,

    Ed
