Front end and also Admin does not log in, and it does not error. It just seems to refresh. I'm using Joomla 3.x
- I have tried overwriting all of the core files via FTP
- plg_user_joomla is enabled (checked via PHPMyAdmin)
- I have changed my PHP version from 7.3 to 7.2 and 7.1
- Nothing is set for the cookie domain in configuration.php
- error reporting is set to maximum
- I have changed the password to check that is correct but it is not saying incorrect password
- If I put an incorrect password, it does not tell me that error message
- I have disabled Admin Tools
- I have disabled Litespeed Cache
- I have checked plg_authentication_joomla and it is enabled
- I have renamed .htaccess from htaccess.txt to .htaccess
- I have replaced the Admin Tools .htaccess with the default Joomla .htaccess
- I have enabled error reporting to "Maximum" via FTP AND I have checked that the value held and is correct
- I have enabled Joomla debug
- I have manually deleted the cache folders from /cache and administrator/cache
- I have checked the "cookie domain" is empty in configuration.php
- I have checked the "live site" value is empty in configuration.php
- I have checked the site is https for the entire site
- I have checked there is no conflict with www and non-www or any redirect loop
- I have repaired the table in PHPMyAdmin
- I have optimized (sic) the table in PHPMyAdmin
- The last thing I remember doing that could cause this was installing a plugin email as user name. I have renamed this folder "--email-as-username"
- Checked for JavaScript errors in the console on the login page
- Changed logs and administrator/logs to 777 file permissions
- Set all folders to 755 file permissions (save for logs)
- Set files to 644 file permissions (except for config which is 755)
The login has been working the entire time. It is due to be released and suddenly there is a problem.
