Admin password does not work and cannot reset

 

This common mistake happens to many users, and you are not immune to this. But calm down. To fix the access is simple. Let’s check out:

 

1 – Access PHPMyAdmin from the cPanel.

2 – Select the database for the installation of WordPress, Ex: user_wp

3 – Go to the table * _users and see next that the registered users will be loaded

4 – Click Edit / Edit on the user for whom you want to reset the password

5 – Set the new value (which will be your password), and in the function, select MD5 and click on Run

6 – Ready! Your password has been reset.

 

The Admin panel is all unconfigured.

 

All links are not positioned correctly, and CSS is not loading correctly. Check out some points about this identified problem:

 

1 – Firewall or Proxy: If you use a firewall or proxy, they can block the css files. Try disabling or even cleaning them, and use the + F5 control to try reloading the page.

2 – If some plugin was recently installed and may have been the cause of the problem, try to remove them or install a more updated version.

 

Cannot Modify Header Information

 

If you encounter this type of message: “Warning: Cannot modify header information already sent by (output started at /home/user/www/wp-config.php:20), “check the following:

 

1 – Check the wp-config.php file, look for spaces or unnecessary lines, and remove them.

2 – Be aware of the beginning of the content php <? Php and the closing?> So that there are no spaces between them.

 

NOTE:  It is important to note that this error can occur in other files; usually, the error message informs the file’s path, causing the problem.

 

Blank page on Blog or Admin

 

Generally, this type of problem occurs when the WordPress version is updated or when a plugin is also installed. Other factors can contribute to the error in question as mod_security rules that can bar your access. If you have tried all the steps below, don’t hesitate to contact us so we can help.

 

1 – Go to the wp-content / themes folder and rename the folder of the currently used theme

2 – Log in to wp-admin and make sure the theme you installed is compatible

3 – Rename the plugins folder more precisely in wp-contents / plugins. Then move the plugins and enable them one by one to identify the plugin that caused the problem.

define (‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
