– we did not install any new plugin
– we did not make any changes to the code or server

– We tried relogging but the login wont work. It did not give an incorrect password message either, just refreshes and loads the login screen again
– We logged into mySQL and checked the password. We reset the passwords from mySQL and tried logging in again. It still did not work
– But now we got the error message “ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress.” . Though cookies were enabled in the browser. We tested on multiple browsers and multiple machines, same response.

After this we tried various solutions that are mentioned on the internet but none of them worked.

Next we replaced our wp-login.php with a fresh copy of the file downloaded from WordPress.

After this, when we are trying to login
– we are still getting the cookie enable error message
– but if you try accessing https://domainname.com/wp-admin after a minute or so after trying, it is logging in the user directly
– when you are logged in every minute or so, we are getting the message : ” Session Expired. Please login again…” or when you click on a link it simply throws you out again.

Please suggest what could be possible solution. Thanks for your help.

When i try to log in to my blog, the message comes up
‘ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress.’

I have emptied my cache and cookies yet it persists. And cookies are enabled on my browser. It is the same on Google Chrome and Opera browsers.
Some suggestion online said i should rename my plugin folder through FTP, but it still didn’t work when i renamed it.

Please can someone help with a real solution. I just installed the latest version of WordPress.

I have attempted to clear the cache from all my browers.

I am not familiar with code and can’t access the admin page through ftp

Any other options?
Thanks for the help.

// If the user was redirected to a secure login form from a non-secure admin page, and secure login is required but secure admin is not, then don't use a secure
	// cookie and redirect back to the referring non-secure admin page. This allows logins to always be POSTed over SSL while allowing the user to choose visiting
	// the admin via http or https.
	if ( !$secure_cookie && is_ssl() && force_ssl_login() && !force_ssl_admin() && ( 0 !== strpos($redirect_to, 'https') ) && ( 0 === strpos($redirect_to, 'http') ) )
		$secure_cookie = false;

	// If cookies are disabled we can't log in even with a valid user+pass
	if ( isset($_POST['testcookie']) && empty($_COOKIE[TEST_COOKIE]) )
		$user = new WP_Error('test_cookie', __("<strong>ERROR</strong>: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must <a href='https://www.google.com/cookies.html'>enable cookies</a> to use WordPress."));
	else
		$user = wp_signon('', $secure_cookie);

It’s not my server as I can log into my other WordPress blog, which is the same wp version (3.8.1)

Sublime Ramblings

The only thing I did was edit ‘functions.php’ to add favicon.ico but it didn’t work, so I deleted that portion.

I also cleared the wp-content cache, thinking this would help, but it did not.

Any help at all is appreciated.

I have read many threads with all sorts of possible solutions, none of which seem to work.

I am able to log into my Network Admin panel, and into my root website panel, but I cannot log into my new domain. It comes up with the error: Enable Cookies. But they are enabled.

Any suggestions, please.
