No login in IE in frame

  • Hi,

    When I want to login on my blog, it simply doesn’t login. After filling in the stuff and press ok, the login screen appears again and I have to fill it in again. Etc etc Now my site is in a frame (needs to be) but if I load my site not in a frame, the login works great. So in short: in a frame and using IE I cannot login, any fix for this? (Other browsers have no problem with this).

  • Both using IE and using frames are bad ideas, I’m not surprised they don’t work well together. My guess is the cookie is not being set on the correct domain/URL due to IE being stupid and using the URL in your address bar rather than the address of the frame.

    So how can this be fixed, cause most peeps use IE.

    I’ve had the same problem (also frames and IE). Has anyone solved this issue?

    Hi everyone,

    I am new to WordPress, and im loving it. I’ve used Xoops, Mambo and Joomla in the past, and definitely WordPress is ‘up there’ on my list of favorite content management/publishing apps.

    Right. Getting to the point, as Viper said, IE does use the address bar in the browser to set the cookie, therefore causing the inability to login.

    I faced the same issue in Mambo a long time ago, and found a solution which works. I faced the same problem in WordPress recently, and remembered the old trick which got it working in forwarded frames.

    This is what needs to be done. Open up wp-login.php (it should be in your WordPress root folder), and just below line 9 (in WordPress 2.x) – the line that says header(bla bla), put this line:
    header( “P3P: CP=CAO DSP COR CURa ADMa DEVa OUR IND PHY ONL UNI COM NAV INT DEM PRE”);

    You’re actually adding a P3P Compact Privacy Policy to your site. You should be up and running already. However, if you need to know more about P3P, let me refer you to the Mambo support page where I discovered this miracle ??

    (it is after all the same platform, and therefore works)

    Hope this helps guys, let me know how it goes.

    Cheers
