Can't access self hosted WordPress from public wifi.

    Hi,

    I’m currently spending a bit of time in hospital. Fortunately the hospital has wifi.
    “I’ll at least be able to work on my self hosted sites” I thought.

    However, when I go to the login page, I just can’t seem to get in. I enter the username and password, hit the enter button and the page just refreshes with the user/password fields empty again.
    It’s like it’s not even registering the login attempt.
    It’s not my firewall blocking it (as I don’t get an email notification etc).

    Do wordpress installations just not like you accessing them on public wifi?
    Or does anyone know of a workaround?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    The blog you specified at lovehorror.co.uk does not appear to be hosted at WordPress.com.

    This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you’ll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

    If you don’t understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

    If you forgot to include a link to your blog, you can reply and include it below. It’ll help people to answer your question.
