Thanks in advance for the login.
Can’t we access the site directly with site.com/textpattern?event=plugins which should disable all plugins so we can muck about with the code. That’s the theory…

Re: Admin Login Problem
On a brand new install of 4.9.1 on localhost when logged in to the Admin area every time i change to another tab i.e Write or Admin i get dumped out and i have to login again. But it is a vicious circle.
I have three other txp sites on local host all running fine. On the Diagnostics panel it reports √ “All checks passed”
Textpattern version: 4.9.1 (a774b63c40bde18d17dce62722a04cf1769a1a5565bd3ce9) Last update: 2026-02-14 17:01:39 Textpattern path: __TXP-ROOT/textpattern Article URL pattern: section_title Production status: testing Temporary directory path: __TXP-ROOT/textpattern/tmp PHP version: 7.4.2
I have wiped out the directory and installed everything from scratch twice and end up with the same results. I empty all caches each time i installed the site. I also changed the admin user/pswd each time i installed. very annoying gremlins have invaded my host!
Has anyone else ever experienced this?

Re: Admin Login Problem
Hmm. Strange. Some ideas:
- Try also clearing the cookies / localstorage? (see https://barrd.dev/article/clearing-cookies-and-local-storage-in-google-chrome/, it’s the same for safari).
- Have you specified www.domain.local in your setup but are trying to log in with domain.local (or vice versa)?
- You’re not in any private browsing window in your browser?
If I recall correctly, you’re using MAMP Pro, so your domain names between your sites should also be different. Maybe someone else has an idea…

Re: Admin Login Problem
There is something strange. I tried again, after deleting cookies etc, and ended up with the same issues.
So this time I created a new local domain, installed 4.9.1 and all is normal. So the mystery remains.
