Hi,

Is there anyone that can help with this issue? Or am I the only one that is using multisite with sub-sites (with different domain name).

As mentioned above I get the following error when I try to login to the sub-sites.

https://domain3.com/wp-admin

ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress.

Adding this to wp-config.php solved the issue for me, but this was a security risk, so I removed it.

define(‘ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/’);
define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);
define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ”);
define(‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ”);

Your assistance in this matter is very much appreciated.

Markus

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I tried https://domain3.com/wp-admin

This is the URL I used from the very beginning of this thread for the sub-sites. When I use this URL for each sub-site, then I receive the following error as mentioned previously.

ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress.

When this error is displayed the URL is
https://domain3.com/wp-login.php

Also, this is the URL when the sub-site login screen shows after entering https://domain3.com/wp-admin

https://domain3.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fdomain3.com%2Fwordpress%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

Is this a mapping/re-direct issue maybe?

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

So I removed the following in wp-config.php

define(‘ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/’);
define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);
define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ”);
define(‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ”);

Then I created a new user for each sub-sites with administrator privileges and generated a password for each user.

Then I went to My Sites/Network Admin/Sites and selected one sub-site and copied the URL as mentioned, in this case sub-domain with id 7

The URL copied shows domain1 (main site) even though it is for domain3, so if I use this URL then I get the following error when I try to login with the user created for sub-domain domain3.

Sorry, you are not allowed to edit this site.

https://domain1.com/wordpress/wp-admin/network/site-info.php?id=7

Then I try to modify the URL and add the correct domain name for this sub-site, like this

https://domain3.com/wordpress/wp-admin/network/site-info.php?id=7

Then it redirect to this and I tried to login with the sub-site user with administrator privileges, yet get the following error

ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress.

https://domain3.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fdomain3.com%2Fwordpress%2Fwp-admin%2Fnetwork%2Fsite-info.php%3Fid%3D7&reauth=1

What am I missing there?

Hi,

This solved the login issue (ERROR: Cookies are blocked) for the subsites.

Added in wp-config.php file above “/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */”

define(‘ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/’);
define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);
define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ”);
define(‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ”);

Thank you for your reply.

I tested to create a new site in “Network admin/Sites/Add New” and I was able to map another domain name to this sub-site and I can visit the sub-site.

Yet, I am not able to login to the dashboard for the sub-site now. I can however login to the main site with no issues.

I get the following error after trying to login (via web GUI) with username and password. I even created another user for this sub-site as a test. I cleared browser cache and history several times as well.

ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress.

I did some googling and found that this might solve the issue, to add the following line in the wp-config.php file. Yet did not solve the issue.

Tried to add

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, false);

And tried this

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] );

This is part of my wp-config.php file

define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
define( ‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, true );

define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);

define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);
define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘xxxxx.xxxxxxx.net’);
define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/wordpress/’);
define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, false);

Your assistance is appreciated in this matter.
