Don't you see:
Cookie “phpbb3_8cvqq_k” has been rejected for invalid domain.

https://swcthefinalchapter.com/1 is wrong >>> https://swcthefinalchapter.com
set your cookiedomain to .swcthefinalchapter.com and not to www.swcthefinalchapter.com
If you purge cookies you don't have to change the cookie_name. If you don't you need to clear your browser cookies or use another browser. So the best option (for your users) = clear cookies

just changed it .swcthefinalchapter.com so is that all and do they have to clear cookies everytime or just once.

Just change the cookie name, that will avoid any conflicts. Everyone will be logged out.

and then when they log back in everything should be fine.

Solved thanks,

Changing the name effectively resets everything and the board will no longer recognize old cookies if those are going to cause problems. it appears your setting are correct so you shouldn't have any issues going forward.

You might also want to consider redirecting http to https, once you have done that you can enable secure cookies.

When you have not enabled secure cookies it will work either way. To enable secure cookies you can only use https thus you need to redirect because if someone tries to login over http it's not going to work.

If you are using Cpanel for hosting control panel open the domains section, find "Force HTTPS Redirect" and turn it on. Test to make sue it works and then you can enable secure cookies in phpBB ACP.
