I am mostly working off grid using xampp as my localhost. I am certainly crashing around a lot with bludit but generally figure I am keeping track of my moves - but... I get login malfunctions.
I install OK get admin OK - site fine - develop nicely then... ouch, I am either logged out when I try something in admin or I have logged out and can't get back in. This is locally. But now I am migrating online and - again. I will explore all my variable in the hope that they can be excluded or commented on. NB I have pretty slow internet (when I have it).

1 - My assumption is that login data is held in a session - yes?

Locally, when there is a 'crash' I find that another install using the same password allows me to return to the earlier dev site admin. This is easy enough offline as a new install is quick. Online is slow :(

What I use is a modded version of 3.15.0 - I don't think my mods would affect admin but briefly:
a) delete themes, leaving blogx - in install.php > 'theme' => 'blogx',
b) blogx is considerably modified by me
c) delete all plugins - replace with my set of 5
d) delete all languages in theme/plugins - except en.json

2 - Will any of a-d affect admin?

Working online:
a) I closed xampp
b) I delete all browser data: cookies & cache
c) ran the online install - with a never used pwd. = fine
d) login = fine
e) logout > login = no go
f) I tried a local install with the online pwd. then tried online = no go

3 - What else am I missing?

I have read quite a few other posts but am sure the uer/pwd is correct.

I hope the above is clear and someone can offer some suggestions.

Thank you.

I am still working on this... :shock:

online - I am using a sub-directory.
htaccess shows
# Base directory
RewriteBase /temp/musing/

and I assume this is OK?

And, as is the way of things...
A fresh install +++

As regards my earlier Q. - 2 a,c,d is fine but, for b) I left the original blogx theme untouched.
I then undertook the laborious task of adding my mods 1 by 1... test admin, logout, login - many, many times. I did find bits of dodgy code. I also found a very early snip of js in core that also wonked the wheels.

Humble pie aplenty!
If I could delete this post I would. But perhaps it can stand as a testimony to my naivety - and as a warning to others with "just enough knowledge to be dangerous."

I am very much enjoying Bludit and will give more time to study - esp now the docs are back up! TY for that.

cheers - kusalo
