WordPress – Admin Login not working in Firefox or Chrome

Well, this one has been plaguing for a while now, and now that we are making a transition to Optimize Press in order to redo our website, I had to figure this one out, since Optimize Press has limitation in Internet Explorer.  So I was able to find some cludgy work arounds, but today I think I finally found the trick to our WordPress admin login not working in Firefox or Chrome.

Get into your WordPress files and find:  wp-config.php

You’ll need to edit this page and add a couple of simple lines.

Look for either something like this:

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

OR

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);

Add the following two lines.

define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://www.YOURSITE.com’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://www.YOURSITE.com’);

suddenly everything started working for me.  Now, my new web guru (Mike Golden) can get back to work creating our new masterpieces.

Thanks for reading,
