Day: January 2, 2009

Whilst connected to the website via IE (another shudder), I went to the user section and changed a user (just another persona of me I created to view the website a different way) from member to administrator. I can now log in and do all sorts of stuff as HR (short for HolyRoller) that I have not been able to do as PaulaO.

Freaky, eh?

Anyone have any ideas?

I am having to use IE (shudder) to log into this site and post. I have tried all sorts of remedies with WP itself but am now thinking it is a Firefox problem. First time ever I have had a problem with Firefox, if it is the culprit.

The problem is this: the log in page reloads. If I enter the wrong username or password, it gives me the error message, as it should. But if it is right, it just reloads. Repeatedly. If I click a bookmarked link to the admin section, sometimes I get in, sometimes I don’t. And when I do get in, usually I am kicked to the log in page whenever I click a link within the admin (or when the program tries to autosave the draft of a post).

I’ve tried a wide variety of things to try and solve this problem.

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/222737 – this one is resolved but I tried it again with no success
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/229521 – yet another one for this latest problem
https://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=243812&forumId=1 – support page within Firefox to see if I can get help there.

Anyone have any ideas? This is driving me nuts. It is a consistent problem with this site and is a regular problem with the others. And with various versions of WP.
