I decided to try to turn on Filevault; the problem is I can NOT log into my WordPress websites back end.
It keeps saying that my passwords are wrong.
I go to another Mac that has Filevault turned OFF and try and I get in with no problems. Is Filevault messing up with the data?
It's saying it will take 2 days to encrypt. I'm ready to just erase the damn hard drive and start all over again.
From your describe("progress bar typically showing during updates"). sound like the system is updating and doing something. Click "⌘L" will show you installation log, you can check what's going on
I understand that you're running into issues, so this is going to be more for others looking for info on this topic. Encrypting non-boot volumes should be a relatively easy process in OS X 10.8.x and later.
To encrypt a non-boot volume:
Right-click on the volume you want to encrypt
Select the Encrypt… command
The drive will momentarily disappear from the desktop (to initialize the encryption) then re-appear.

I run many a wordpress site and have turned filevault on and off without issue. I can't think of how the two would get in eachother's way, but perhaps try changing the keys in
wp-config.phpto force expiry of any stale sessions/cookies? This page generates new ones for you.
