An Annoying Little Bug – Solved 9 months later!

Last April I mentioned a “WordPress bug” that was driving me nuts.  In short, I couldn’t seem to reliably use the link to “Dashboard” when logged into WordPress.

I spotted the answer in a post on the support forums today.  As a bit of simple “security” I had dropped an empty index.php file into my wp-content/plugins directory.  That was all it took.

I renamed it to index.html this afternoon and now my WP dashboard works as expected.  Many thanks to Daisyhead for returning and posting her solution on the thread!
