Current Issue: I cannot access certain links in top navigation strip

  • Unknown's avatar

    Okay, about an hour ago, I sent a message to support@wordpress.com, saying I couldn’t access anything from the main page on the top navigation strip. I sent another message about a half hour ago. For a while all links on navigation strip rerouted to my blog. Now it’s only the “My Dashboard”, “My Account” and “New Post links! This has been a problem for over an hour, now.

    I tried copying the wp-admin link and pasting it in my Firefox browser, no luck. I tried the same in Internet Explorer, no luck. I tried clearing my browser history, no luck. I even tried restarting my computer, just on the offchance that it might work. It didn’t help. So anyway, I wanted to let you all know how I’ve been unsuccessful in solving the problem. I hope this gets fixed soon.

    Edit, 11:17 PM EST: Just downloaded Opera and checked out WordPress there. Same problems as above.

    Here’s an update. I did two adware and spyware scans. One with Spybot Search and Destroy, one with Ad-Aware. The problem is still the same as before; My Dashboard”, “My Account” and “New Post” lead to my blog. This is a drag. I wanted to update tonite. :(

    Edit: 2:14 AM EST; Did another scan with Malware Sweeper. Problem still exists. I tried logging out and logging back in. Problem still exists. Oh, and for the record, I cannot access “My Account” “New Post” and “Dashboard” at all. It all sends me to my blog.

    I’m having the same problem too and it has been like it for about 2.5 hours. I can’t log into or access my account for any of my blogs. I have also tried Internet Explorer & Firefox but neither are working. Fingers crossed something will be fixed soon…

    same here. it was working fine 8 hours ago.

    Just like all of you here, all my top nav strip links redirects me to my blog – and it still goes there even if i manually copy and paste the dashboard url.

    same story here, my blog is http://4walkers.wordpress.com this is happening on multiple computers, using different browsers, different OS’s. Hopefully this will contribute to your ability to locate the problem.

    i actually used my mobile phone and the same things happened.

    to podz: the mouseover displays that the link is still targeted at the /wp-admin/ url, but the page doesnt load up – the page just refreshes.

    “i sent it to your personal email dude.”
    I did, and I know you mean well, but support@ will always get me :)

    The problem is being looked at – honest.

    ok. sorry man. i was afraid someone else would get it and wouldnt get the context of our earlier correspondence. thanks podz. :)

    Just got your email a little bit ago. It’s still going on. Like someone else said above, when you hover over the links, you can see where the links are SUPPOSED to go, but it just redirects to my blog, anyway.

    this has been an all day thing. No one can even comment. Is there an estimate as to when this issue will be resolved?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I see comments up there from staff members in this thread. :)

    Okay, I have access to my regular links, now. It’s VERY slow, but I have access. If I lose access again, I’ll let you all know. Thanks to Team WordPress!

    lateralus – you should be fixed.

    *ouch* Podz, that line doesn’t work here in the States. It’s a certain medical procedure concerning a rather sensitive male organ if you catch my meaning. :)
