Auto login not working

Post by chainprayer »

I check the box asking to log in automatically, and the settings do not stick! Any suggestions? i have tried in several different browsers.

Are you trying to access your website from multiple domains, by any chance?

Actually it's stopped working again.

On another thread someone said to change the IP security setting to A.B. from A.B.C.

Doing so enabled auto login, but it stopped working again after 10 minutes or so.

My domain remains the same.

What browsers are you using? if we are all using the same browser, maybe we can track it down to that.

I'm using Safari

Look in the ACP, under "Authentication".

same problem.. all my cookie settings are correct (i've read the 20 threads about cookies settings here - i've tried every conceivable combination) And my page keeps setting a different cookie than i've specified. Its called "style_cookie" which i suspect has to do with the style settings and not the login.

NO ONE seems to know why this happens or has been abled to help me at all.. anyone?
