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,
