Unusual plugin/login issue
 

This might belong on the wordpress forum instead, but I'd welcome advice. I'm using WP 2.8.5, atahualpa 3.4.4. When I login to the site, it's no problem, but then when I try to add a new plugin from the admin panel, it sends me to a new wordpress login screen, and my login won't work for it. Any idea what gives? the site is www.threeguysonebook.com.

thanks,

when you say do you mean 'Activate' or are you using the add function?

What happens if you swap to the default theme?

I mean when I hit "add new" under plugins. The problem is the same, regardless of theme.

Ok, then it's a Wordpress issue, not theme related. Check to see what the permissions for the 'wp-content' and 'wp-content/plugins' folders are. It might be a permission issue.

If I had the probelm, I'd find out where that code is and start adding echo statements in till I found out where it was going wrong. But I also have a copy running on my local server so it only takes me a moment to make changes to the code...

But start by checking the permissions

thanks jd.
The permissions for those two folders show that I have read/write/execute for user, but only read/execute for group and world. Is that as it should be?

It was working fine yesterday, so maybe I should turn off the last couple of plugins added and check? Is that a plausible path to take?

thanks

My general trouble shooting technique is, if it worked before you did X, then back out X and see if it works again. It might not, but that is the palce to start.

Yeah, that didn't work either. I've posted it on Wordpress, but no responses yet. as an alternative, I'm going to try uploading the new plugins directly to the folder, and see how that works. I'll take any advice you have, if something pops to mind. If not, thanks for trying.

FYI, Juggledad, in case it comes up again, this looks like a Chrome issue of some sort. Still works on FF and IE. I'll clear caches and I thingk it will work.
