    I’ve been running the EE 2.3… on a site for months with no problems. Today I tried to login with my admin login and it only allows me into the control panel for a few seconds before kicking me back to the login screen.

    Should I suspect a hacker? What can I do?

    Can you log into non-admin accounts?

    Hello thefifthlion,

    I am sorry to hear you are running into this problem.

    Do you know if your hosting service has made any changes recently?

    Is this in just one browser or have you tried a few different browsers?

    Did you recently change service providers or start accessing this site from a different location?

    Please let me know and we can get started.

    In the mean time you might also consider making this change to your config.php file.

    $config[‘require_ip_for_login’] = “n”;

    Cheers,

    I can only assume it was a firewall issue because it happened while working on a computer from a specific network. It works when using computers elsewhere.

    Hello thefifthlion,

    That sounds like the culprit to me.

    Is there anything else I can help with?

    Cheers,
