  I just transfered an existing wp site which I purchase onto my server. For some reason the admin section won’t take my password no matter what I do. I followed the steps by going into my php admin and editing the password with md5 hash but still no good but I did notice something strange. Im able to login through my file legacy manager when I click on the link which is strange but when I go to click save after editing my pw it redirects to me to admin login page with an extra / after the tld. For example it will look like this http://www.example.com//wp-login.php?

  Im wondering if that has anything to do with it. Also note Im not sure if it has anything to do with it but I had a problem after importing the database :”Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp() in /home/ghnet/public_html/wp-blog-header.php on line 14″
  I searched the web and found the fix by adding this code:
  define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://example.net/’);
  define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://example.net/’);

  Now Im not sure if this has anything to do with my logging into my wp admin…

  Thanks
