Hey all.

I just installed a Wordpress blog and it was working fine. Then all of a sudden my main page does not display properly and when i try to go to the wp-admin page it just kicks me back to the main page. The URL is underwaterwaterproofcamera.com

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi Scott,

    Did you just recently activate a new plugin? sometimes they wreak havoc!

    If you did and you have ftp access to your hosting go in and delete it from the plugin directory.

    Then see if your blog goes back to normal. It's just an idea, but it might work.

    • Apparently the style file doesn't work on the home page. But it seems the login page is OK. Try login here yourdomain + /wp-login php. (Sorry, I can not add links.)
  • gamefan,

    He said his login page just kicks him back to his home page, so it's not as simple as going to the wp-login.php, there's a problem with the whole installation.

    More than likely it is something to do with a recent addition/alteration - wordpress dies if it doesn't like something believe you me, or anyone else for that matter.

  • Compared the file wp-admin/index.php with the file you downloaded from wordpress.org. If it is different, backup the file wp-admin/index.php first and then overwrite it with original one. Then try logging in again.

    • I'll give it a try.

      Thanks!
  • Your /wp-admin/ is giving an internal server error at the moment, are you changing things / working on this right now?

    This usually implies a problem with the script and its hard to tell exactly what is causing it - what does your error log show?

    • Yeah I was working on some things. Basically I have now started over, reinstalled everything and I still get the same result even with no plugins or theme changes. I am at my wit's end.

  • Scott,

    Ive never used this plugin before, but it looks like it is this one you are using;
    Link Cloaking Plugin for WordPress | W-Shadow.com

    Looking a the details it adds several lines into your .htaccess - deleting the plugin will mean you need to rebuild your permalinks, which you cant do as you cant get into your admin dashboard.

    If you are ok with .htaccess you can remove the stuff its added - the area is self explanatory really; Look for the link cloaker section; if in doubt, comment out each line by adding a # at the beginning of it.

    Code:
    # Link Cloaker Plugin BEGIN
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^goto/([^/]*)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ http://YOURSITE/wp-content/plugins/link-cloaking-plugin/wplc_redirector.php?post_id=$2&link_num=$3&cloaked_url=$0 [L]
RewriteRule ^goto/([^/]+)[/]?$ http://YOURSITE/wp-content/plugins/link-cloaking-plugin/wplc_redirector.php?name=$1&cloaked_url=$0 [L]
</IfModule>
# Link Cloaker Plugin ENDS
