Hi,

I have a problem with the simple press login and wordpress.

When a user logs in for the first time with forum login button (meaning the first time you access the site from the browser) is the returned error 403 (or blocked with chrome and firefox) on the page where the log and see that www.forum name”.com/wp-login.php.

Once accessed the first time works.

If you delete browser data, or logs in after a few hours, the problem returns.

I think the problem occurs again when it expires coockie the session.
 
What could be the reason for this?

I should imagine some local/environmental issue to be honest.

Do not forget that there is no such thing as logging into Simple:Press.  The login process is controlled and carried out by WordPress. Simple:Press simply passes the name and password values across to WordPress. WordPress, as the site management system, carries out the validation etc.

Do you oerhaos have a conflict with another login or perhaps membership plugin? That might explain it.

I don’t use any plugin for login, i use the standard wordpress login.

As Andy has already explained it definitely sounds like a local issue, do you have the same problem logging in to WP?

Personally I would ask your host why it behaves differently. They should be able to explain the 403.

I don’t think that the problem is with the host because the second time it works.

If i try to access, the first time gives me 403, if i load the login page and go back (even without login) does work.

i am unsure what you mean by the login page… although I assume you mean the standard WP form.

But I was suggesting you go and talk to your host in case they can explain the 403 by looking in the logs. At this point in time you are the only user reporting any such problem so it is something in your environment that is the cause. Your host may well be in a position to supply the answer.

Solved

The problem was in .htaccess, i’ve added this code and now it’s ok

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/

RewriteRule .* – [CO=wordpress_test_cookie:WP+Cookie+check:%{HTTP_HOST}:1440:/]

 

Thanks for the support
