thebigtimer Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I have two "new" questions. First I am starting to create different users on my site so my friends can post however I recently create a new user id for someone and I cannot log in with the user name and password I choose....it just says incorrect password each time. Is there something I am not doing? Has anyone ran into this problem before? Also, if you look at my site http://www.thebigtimer.com I would like to change the order in which the links on the navigation bar are display, how can I go about doing that. And where do I change the target of the link? Thanks a bunch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Not sure what the problem is with the login. I have another user on my blog and can login with the user/pass combination. As for the links in the navigation bar. In the Admin you add/edit links and link categories under the Links section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigtimer Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 thanks, yeah I have no idea what's going on with the password issue. I keep resetting the passwords and they still wont work....., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 register for your site under any name, goto you cpanel then look at your sqlserver, the goto sqladmin little letters at the bottom, the select users, copy the "known" password of the user you just created and past it in the user admin, then you can get back into your blog I will post a more detailed how to very soon, just because the staff is so nice in putting up with my dumb panic questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigtimer Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Does anyone have any other suggestions? I still can't get the userids/passwords to work for anyone except the admin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 oh, dunno bout that one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Hmm, mine no longer works. I am the only one that posts on my blog but I did set up a second user before and it worked. I am not sure when it broke but it's no longer working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I did some reading on the Wordpress support forum. There are others having problems with logins. Don't know if any of these apply as I haven't researched it enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigtimer Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Yeah I've been trying a lot of things and so far no good.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigtimer Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Does anyone one else have this problem with their WordPress account? I really dont wanna have to re-install everything and start from scratch...especially if I'm not even positive that it will work then.

abinidi Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I am also having this trouble, although I didn't know it until today. Users are not able to log into my blog. The only user that appears to be working is the admin user. I tried this with two different users; one is an "author" (level 1) and one is a "reader" (level 9). I'm using WP 1.5.2. I'll work on trying to figure this one out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigtimer Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 ....at least now I know I'm not just going crazy. Let me know what you find when trying to figure it out, this things killin me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abinidi Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Ok. Here's what I found (and this will be fast, because I'm about to miss my train...) If you register with a new account, it works fine on my blog. But if a user who was a member before I upgraded to 1.5.2 tries to log in, they cant, even if I, as an administrator, give them a password in the interface. However, if that user clicks on the "I forgot my password" link, then they will get an email saying "follow this link to reset your password." They follow the link, and a new random password is sent to them. Now, when they log in with the WP-set password, they can. They can then change their password to whatever they want, and they can continue using the site as usual. At least that worked for me right now. Your mileage may vary. Now I'm running for the train. See you all tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigtimer Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 You guys will not believe what the problem was, I feel so stupid! The users were not putting their usernames in exactly as they appear in the database. They put in "user1" instead of "User1". All those headaches for something that silly, I love computers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Glad you got it sorted out. I'll bet that was my problem too. I had a cap in the database and tried all lower case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abinidi Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Hmmm. I thought I checked that to make sure I was entering it correctly. But alas, I have no more users (from before the upgrade) that I can check. Weird. But it seems to be working now. Funny that all three of us would make a similar mistake...
