Photo theme – Unable to login with cookie error
-
Since I’ve updated WordPress to 3.8 I can’t login. After entering my username and password I get the error message:
`ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must?enable cookies?to use WordPress.
This happens on Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer from both Windows 7 and 8.1.Various forum posts talk about this, but I haven’t been able to resolve the issue by following their suggestions.
The only way that I can log into my site is by renaming the theme directory using cPanel
public_html/wp-content/themes/Photo
becomes
public_html/wp-content/themes/Photo.no
I can then login and the default theme is active. WordPress recognizes that the Photo theme is broken and nicely falls back to the current default.I then changed the Photo theme directory name back to the original and refreshed. Remember that the active theme is no longer Photo so this doesn’t affect my login. I then made the Photo theme active again. This leaves me with an active login that I can work with.
Disabling any of my plugins has no effect.
Code changes suggested in this thread

also have no effect.For some reason with the Photo theme active cookies aren’t being set correctly.
Does anyone have experience in fixing this in the Photo theme?
Has this theme been abandoned for WP 3.8?
My website is: videreanalytics.ca
Thanks for any help,
Jon.
