WordPress website: homepage redirects to “login” page (non-existent now)
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
So I have a wordpress website as my own company site. It has functioned well for as long as it has been up, until now.
(PS, I know the hosting is awfully slow, I am working on sorting this too.)
So lets start from the beginning:
Basically, I wanted to add a log in option, but not site wide; I wanted a customer to have an option to log onto a "customer portal" with credentials that I provide. However, I wanted it to only be available if they navigate to the footer or page and click a button. I did not want it to force any user to log in to use the site.
Stupid me, tried to take a shortcut with the databases and such, and installed something called "Ultimate Member". Essentially, after trying to set this up, my site has now kind of broken. It auto-redirects you to the '/login' page when you go on the home page or when you just search the URL.
So I deleted the plug in, wiped all the data of it, and deleted all the account-related pages. However, now it still directs the user to the '/login' page even though the page no longer exists and I no longer want this function.
As a result, it therefor returns a 404. It has also kind of broken the appearance of my site too, in some pages. I have tried everything and just cannot get rid of this redirection. I've tried other plugins, I've tried searching for it in the editor (files), gone to my database and control panel and looked from there (mySQL and phpMyAdmin). I've tried reinstalling the plug in, deleting each page, reinstalling everything.
By the looks of things, I may have to entirely destroy my site and start over. I ask desperately because I am very pressed for time and cannot really give the time to restart!
Please help!

Have you tried disabling maintenance mode? Sometimes after removing intrusive plug ins like that the website will go into a maintenance mode as a default state.

Key @kieron, if you're getting an error or 404 you've got to be receiving some error in your log files. If we could see that error we can probably figure out the issue.
