Anyone else having this problem? It takes me to a page checking if my connection is secured and it stays in that page. Meanwhile I can access this page on my phone getting past the checking if my connection is secured part.

That's why I haven't been active here as much.

I've had this problem since the brief site takeover. Seems some security thing was put in place, but now I can't access the site on my phone as I normally would (because I use desktop versions of sites on my phone). I can only access it on there when I select to view the site as the mobile version.

I can still access WP on my desktop somehow. My guess is that it's because I've enabled all cookies on WP, or because I'm not trying to access it via a proxy server. Beyond those two things I'm not sure what could help.

Have you tried wiping all the login info from the browser, or use a different browser on the same desktop? Also, make sure you tell the Captcha that you are indeed a Human (it's easy to miss)

edit: the security "checkpoint" was there before that takeover SNAFU. It looks to be a way for the actual server that WP exists on to maintain security. Has nothing to do with WP.
