If you’re using Google Chrome, on occasion you’ll encounter an error when logging into WordPress. Even though the password field is filled in (with your saved password), you’ll receive a message that the password field is empty.
Here’s how to fix it, and props to whomever figured this out:
- Once you log into your Dashboard, go to Appearance and then Editor. Select Theme Functions (functions.php).
- Insert this code anywhere after the initial “<?php” code:
add_action(“login_form”, “kill_wp_attempt_focus”);
function kill_wp_attempt_focus() {
global $error;
$error = TRUE;
}
This has worked for the various WordPress sites we manage.
