    After updating WordPress from 3.7.1 to 3.8, when I attempt to login at (https://mydomain.com/wp-login.php) I receive the above mentioned error message.

    This occurs in Firefox and IE. When logged into Chrome — you can’t logout.

    I have done the following:

    – Ensured cookies are not blocked
    – Deactivated all plugins
    – Substituted the wp-login.php from version 3.7.1
    – Commented out lines 744-746 in wp-login.php as recommended here: https://bit.ly/19cgudZ

    This seems to have happened to some people with 3.7.1 and now 3.8. Does anyone know how to fix this login issue?

  • Thank you Artem. Your wp-config workaround solved a similar issue on 3.9 multisite.

    I was very hopeful that the fix by Artem would work, but not in my case.

    I moved my development site from a localhost server to a live production server, while adding the below to my wp-config:

    define('WP_HOME','https://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://example.com');

    Usually this works flawlessly but this time not so much. After reading Artem response, and being that his fix did not work for me, I went back into my DB and decided to traditionally change the domain with a migration.

    Editing the following in the database from the options table:

    option_id	option_name	option_value
	1	siteurl         https://changehere.com
       36       home            https://changehere.com

    Cleared cache refreshed and BAM! im in. It was such a DUH moment for me. Hope this will help others as well.

    Thank you Artem as well. Without your post I would have never guessed it to be because of an incorrect domain.
