Login Problems – one more time (please developers???)

  • WordPress is working great… once I can login to it. Why is it so difficult to make a simple login that ALWAYS works. It’s the first thing that should work without ??ny difficulties.

    I’m using WP for a year now. First 1.2, then 1.2.2 and now since two months I’m regularly downloading and installing the nightlies. And not ?3ne of the standard wp-login files worked! I can’t find the post, but half a year ago someone pointed out a problem with those files and corrected the problem and posted that modified login file. And until this day I’m uploading this file to replace the ‘new’ file because I can’t login ?3r logout anymore at some point. And that modified file ??lways works and still works, ??ven with the nightlies.

    Please check this file and tell me what’s the difference between this file and the official loginfile that comes with the Mingus or the nightlies.

    This is the modified file:

  • I wonder if it’s the siteurl problem (I noticed that code was missing from the hacked verison).

    And if that’s the case, then the reason you have to reload it, is because it’s a “feature” that the devs have been thinking about implementing but on some system it doesn’t work, so rather than taking it out, the keep leaving it in.

    There should be an entry “Server API” — what does it say there?

    When we set cookies we set them against ‘home’ not ‘siteurl’ because setting them against ‘siteurl’ would break the ‘Edit This’ links. A cookie set against ‘home’ will also work for ‘siteurl’ if ‘siteurl’ is a subdirectory of ‘home’. This is the recommended and supported configuration. Side by side directories such as moxie’s will cause problems. Changing the COOKIEPATH to use ‘siteurl’ may fix login problems for those running side-by-side directories, but it will break all ‘Edit This’ links.

    did not know that, but it does make sense…..

    HA! That seems to work rboren! I changed the COOKIEPATH in vars.php and now the official wp-login.php seems to function OK!

    Would be nice though to have this included in the optionsmenu in the future if this causes problems for everyone with side by side directories!

    Never use the ‘edit-this’ function, so that’s fine.

    Perhaps we should set two login cookies whenever siteurl and home are not the same. I’ll experiment.

    rboren, is this problem related to this:

    tparlin, I think that problem is this.
