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!

    Thanks for this hint! I had the same issue with index.php in the plugins-directory. Now my dashboard works as it should (again).
