WP admin login not working
-
When I try to login to my WP Admin page, the site almost “refreshes”. No error message, no “wrong password”. I can login to my subsite, but netweork admin remains out of reach, and no matter what i do (private browsing mode, etc) it stays locked away like this.
Please help :)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi @scottknier,
Since you can log into a subsite, that means your username and password are correct. The problem seems to be related to your browser cookies.
Clearing the specific cookies for your site should solve the issue. Sometimes they get corrupted. Since private browsing didn’t work, you need to do it manually.
Go into your main browser’s settings, find the privacy or history section, and search for “cookies.” Look for cookies related to your website’s domain (scottknier.com) and delete only those.
Afterward, close and reopen your browser completely and try to log in again.

Hi there, it looks like http://www.scottknier.com is using the open source WordPress software hosted on a 3rd party hosting service. These forums you’ve posted to assist site owners hosted on WordPress.com, the web hosting provider. Because your site isn’t hosted here, we’re limited in what we can do to support you.
Have you tried also contacting your web host? If they say this is a problem with the WordPress software itself, head over to the support forums on ORG at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ for assistance.
