ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser

  • I have been asked by a friend to revamp their WordPress multisite which someone else created for them a long time ago. I signed in to the account and firstly updated it to WP 3.6. Since then every time I try and log in at the normal site address /wp-login.php which the original designer gave them I get the following error message “ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress”.

    I have tried clearing all cookies, history etc. on multiple browsers which hasn’t done anything.

    I have also tried logging in at the site address /wp-admin/ and get this message:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/64/9421064/html/wp-content/plugins/twitter/widget_twitter_vjck.php:171) in /home/content/64/9421064/html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 896

    I only have access to the WordPress account and non of the original source files.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

  • My guess is that twitter plugin is not compatible with WP 3.6. I would disable or remove the plugin.

    Had the same issue and I added this to my wp-config.php which fixed it:

    define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/');
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
define('COOKIEPATH', '');
define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '');

    Thanks for the tips, jkhongusc I can’t actually get into the wordpress dashboard though to disable any plugins.

    Also Dave Navarro JR is there a way to get in to the config without signing in or having any of the files attached to your computer? I have literally been given their wordpress username and password to work with.

    Thanks

    Nope :/

    You also should check for blank lines below the ?> at the end of the wp-config.php file.
