Login to New Site - Logging in Does Not Login Just Takes You to Home Page
Permalink
Hi - I created a new site using simple scripts on hostmonster. I have several other C5 sites there and no problems.
On the new site, I log in with the info I was provided. And I am redirected to the home page after pressing enter. I cannot do anything with the site, like edit, etc.

I remember someone having this issue with an IE browser but it worked fine in other browsers. See if changing web browsers helps.
It does rather sound browser/cookie related. Make sure your browser is set to allow cookies. I've had several clients who couldn't log in because their IE had the privacy settings wound too tight.
Same problem with 5.5.2 on Mac using both Safari and Firefox. On installation, first login goes to Dashboard, then never again on any subsequent logins. Once I hit 'Return to Website' there is no Edit bar at the top of the page. I have cleared the database re-installed everything and problem continues
What happens if you login, and then go to /index.php/dashboard?
If you're logged in the dashboard should appear. If not, you'll be directed to the login page. The latter implies a cookie issue.
If you can see the dashboard, then maybe you have an addon installed that's breaking the tool bar. Check for Javascript errors and also make sure your theme is producing valid html (http://validator.w3.org/ will help).

I found the setting to change that now takes me to the Dashboard on Login, in 'System & Settings' at the bottom of the menu screen. (I wouldn't need to change that setting if I had the toolbar available on my home page when I log in.) I still lose the toolbar when I hit 'Return to Website' from the Dashboard. I don't have any Add-ons installed.
Just solved it. Line of code missing in the footer ;-( Thanks for your time.
Do you know what it was? I'm having the same issue, I just reinstalled and still just redirects to home. :-/
If you want to change the re-direction on login, go to the Dashboard, then 'Login Destination' under Login & Registration. If you don't have the toolbars when you login, make sure you have the following code, after the last </div> tag, in your footer.php file:
<?php require(DIR_FILES_ELEMENTS_CORE . '/footer_required.php'); ?>
<?php require(DIR_FILES_ELEMENTS_CORE . '/footer_required.php'); ?>

Make sure you go into file manager or filezilla and remove conflicting files sending the overwrite warning as this may be the problem your having as well. If this is the case the overwrite warning will tell you every file thats causing an issue in the little bubble that pops up.
