Upgrade to 2.8.26 preventing login

I ugraded a site yesterday to 2.8.26 and was unable to log in afterwards. When I entered my password it took me to: https://example.com/perch/?r=%2Fcms%2Fcore%2Fapps%2Fcontent%2F but I remained on the login page. The password reset didn't send an email (didn't get from the website to Postmark, the service I've got dealing with emails).

With that site I just deleted it all and reinstalled perch as it was an old site with only 1 editable field (a news ticker on the homepage). Put it down to something I must've done wrong.

It has happened again this morning when I replaced /core/ on a different project. Unfortunately this is a fully perch-driven site so I've rolled back the database and the 2.8.26 code (back to 2.8.21).

Do you know what might be going wrong?

Thanks,

Martin.

Did you run the update?

I couldn't log in for it to run :(

Actually, I didn't need to install the starting db as it didn't run the update! Just reset my head to the previous commit and I can log in ok.

so it's the code in /core/ somewhere between 2.8.21 and 2.8.26

Actually, I updated a site earlier in the week and it works. These are the diagnostics:

In the update notes, it gives instructions as to what to do if you can't log in. Did you follow those?

Oh, I didn't see update notes… Most recent ones on https://grabaperch.com/news/ is 2.8.25… Could you point me in the right direction – can't find them :P

Its here https://grabaperch.com/update/v2-8-26

Note: if you can’t log in after updating, go to /perch/core/update in your browser so the updater can run. Then you’ll be able to log in.

Scott, you're a life saver! Thank you :)
