wp-admin does not redirect to dashboard

There was an old global .htaccess file (from the old website) besides the wordpress one which was hidden on the sever (by admins of the hosting company) which rewrite rules harmed the ones in wordpress.

Dashboard Disappears after Upgrade

Prologue Before we actually start, trash this conditional – it does absolutely nothing: if($_REQUEST[‘s’] != ”) { } But really, more than likely, the original plugin developer had intended this conditional to actually do something by bailing out of the function if $_REQUEST[‘s’] is not set (seeings … Read more
