Erratic log in problems
-
I have been having some odd problems with my log in. I can log in to my dashboard, reader etc and create posts, but when I try to preview a post it comes up with a ‘this is embarrassing, page not found’ message. Sometimes logging out and logging back in again will fix this, but sometimes not.
Now it fails to recognise me as logged in when I view my site, so I don’t see the normal top bar – instead I get the pop-up follow button. And I can’t edit posts direct from the site either. I can still access my dashboard and make changes there though.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
