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

...when I try to add a new plugin from the admin pane...l

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.
