I hope someone can help me. I have spent a frustrating day with my hosts trying to get access to my blog.

It is http://theheadsoffice.co.uk

I have used http://theheadsoffice.co.uk/wp-login.php to login.

When I log in my details it takes me to http://www.theheadsoffice.co.uk/wp-admin/
but the page remains blank!

Can anyone help please?

Julia

I'm doing nothing different. Simply trying to log in to my blog from the same bookmark on my browser that I've been using for years. Has something changed?

Staff is upgrading the WordPress software we run on and has also been moving all of our most active pages like Stats, Reader, Topics, Freshly Pressed, etc. to the fron page of WordPress.com. Perhaps those changes have had an effect on your ability to log-in. I suggest trying to log-in directly to your blog by using this link http://shapersofthe80s.com/wp-admin/

So what absurdoldbird said about the redirect is not true in my case. So I am still asking the question as I asked above: "Why the redirect at the login?" Is there something more going on that could possibly affect the safety of our content or privacy or something like that? I would like to add another blog to my account at this point but I just don't want any trouble. I really would like to know that this login drama is not taking something away from us--the bloggers.

You'll only be able to use https here if you adjust your settings. See this:

@thesacredpath (or anyone else who knows) - can one log in on the blog's name using https or does it not recognise that?

Thanks for any help.

I can get to my dashboard doing what Sacredpath said. I did https not http and it worked. Is that the correct and safe solution, Sacredpath or anyone else who knows?

I'm having a similar situation. Using the bookmark I've always used and which has been fine now tells me I can't login, even though when I type in my username it autocompletes it. I then have a list of my blogs, apart from my main one, but there is an unlabelled 'dashboard' link at the top of the list which I can click and get in okay.

But something's not quite right.

I recognise the the log-in link given by the sacredpath, but my own shortcut has been changed to https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php.

I'll change it back, but it's puzzling how it got changed.
