Strange Login Issue

bedrock
#1

I am reasonably new to roots bedrock but have noticed a strange login issue that seems to affect every site that I use roots bedrock on.

When I visit a URL like this:
https://mysite.com/wp-admin/

I am redirected to the login page but can never login.

If I visit a URL like this:
https://mysite.com/wp/wp-admin/

I then have no problems logging in.

Since using roots bedrock on a few production sites I have had a few complaints from users about being unable to login which I think is related to the issue I have above (not 100% sure though). It is a little bit difficult to explain to clients the workaround and I myself don’t understand why the second link works but the first one doesn’t.

I am hoping to find a solution for this so that I can permanently rule it out as a potential reason that other users can’t login. Does anyone have any ideas what is happening?

#2

Perhaps I want to do something like suggested in this thread:

Or maybe redirect it to a page not found.

#3

If you visit settings > permalinks you shouldn’t even need to save it that should set up the redirect

If that fails just save them and it should work

#4

No, saving permalinks doesn’t solve the problem. At the moment I have the htaccess directives as part of the apache config. So maybe I need to move them into htaccess.

#5

In what way are you never able to login? Do you see an error when you attempt to? Does the page never load? Etc.

#6

The page looks like it submit but then just returns to the login form.

#7

Know one else has any ideas?

Am I the only one experiencing this issue?
