Last night I updated d3bruts1d.com to Wordpress v2.6. I’d like to say the update went smothley, and maybe it did but I had a slight scare.
Upon updating to the latest version, I tried to log into the admin section. I was told the database needed to update, so I went ahead with that (usually I’d do a backup first). After the update I returned to the admin section, only to continually received messages telling be to login again. Unable to log in, I decided to reset the password for my account. New password still wouldn’t work.
Needless to say, panic started setteling in. I quickly googled “wordpress cannot login 2.6” and ended up here. The solution was quite simple, and frankly one I should have tried before resetting my password, delete your cookies. Doh! That’s what I get for running my update late.
In addition to the Wordpress update, I also updated ShareThis. Previously you had something like 15 options to select from. Now you’ve got 33. So if you like something I post, feel free to hit the ShareThis link under each post and submit it to your favorite site, email it, or link back to me.
