Installing Wordpress

Posted at October 19, 2009

Had some big heart breaks, some tense moments and at the end of the day, I am happier than ever. Because, I have actually installed Wordpress.

Well, the installation was smooth. The only problem is, I can’t log in to my Admin Panel. When I enter the password, it just refreshes to the same page. Yes, I was entering the correct password. I didn’t forget my username either. The only problem is Wordpress can’t log me in. To add insult to injury, there is no error message. Simply, I can’t log in.

A lot of Googling followed. I came across various ’solutions’. Nothing worked. At last, I found this. Thanks to the tip, I could log-in in a minute.

Looking through the source code I solved the issue with an easy hack. In file wp-login.php line 447 change from:

<form name="loginform" id="loginform" action="<?php echo site_url('wp-login.php', 'login_post') ?>" method="post">

to:

<form name="loginform" id="loginform" action="wp-login.php" method="post">

That’s all. Now I can login as always

That was it. My trouble is gone. My blog is up. Now a little more things to do.

I am looking for a great theme. I am looking for great tips. I am also looking to give this blog a great look. I also want to create some great content here. I hope all of them will come true.

And, thus born MY first Wordpress blog. I have a few blogs in blogspot too. I hope I will stay with this blog. I intend to write about everything that comes to mind - writing, blogging, products, politics, late night parties . . .
