The infamous cookies error

    My usually very helpful host has been useless with this issue.

    I’ve made a new site on my Multisite installation and have a custom domain mapped to it. When I try to log in to the dashboard for this site I get “Error:?Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must?enable cookies?to use WordPress.”

    The only difference I can find from other sites that I have working is that this domain is set up with cloudflare and the others are still on squarespace (neither of which is my host, just domain registrars). I think I have all relevant DNS records. This is baffling me. I’ve googled and tried every solution I’ve found so far for that issue but nothing has worked. Any ideas? Thanks!

    I found this on Stack Overflow, which may be helpful: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59208475/cookies-are-blocked-or-not-supported-by-your-browser-you-must-enable-cookies-to. A user experiencing a similar issue wrote the following:

    “If your website is a multi-site, then you may also have to change the wp-config.php file to reflect the new domain and/or path:

    define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘example.com’);
    define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/path/to/website/’);

    In many cases, PATH_CURRENT_SITE will be set to a single forward slash.”

    Additionally, I’m including the following article, which might also be helpful:?WordPress?Multisite: Cookies?blocked?ornot?supported – make sure to check the comments as well.

    Sadly I have tried all those with no effect. Site won’t even load with any of those in the config file. It just has an error which says to remove those lines from the file.

    This is driving me nuts. I now have all my domains through Cloudflare, and this is the only one that has this issue. My webhost says it’s definitely something WordPress related but can’t track it down. I’ve deleted the site and recreated it multiple times. Deleted and re-added the domain, used a plugin to clean unused databased entries, everything I can think of. If I just use it as it is by default (a subdomain for me, so fabtribute.heathallyn.com) it works fine. It’s ONLY when I point fabtribute.com at it that it gets this weird error. Even if I “pause Cloudflare” to rule that out, same error. Nobody can figure it out.

    EDIT:
    I just created a NEW site and used one of my other domains that was just being used as a forwarder and had the SAME issue. However, my 2 other previously set up sites with their own domains are fine. Totally baffled here.
