"Please log in again." on subdomain multisite.

  • Hi! I had an issue with a previous install of wp, and before coming in here and ask, thought of just going with a blank version of WordPress which I installed just now (20 mins ago?), no plugins, no themes, no customizations.

    Problem is: When I installed it, I checked permalinks worked, and then checked that theme customization section worked. It was fine. Showed me the 2013 theme, I could change the header color. Fine.

    Then I went for a multisite subdomain setup (wildcard subdomain is set). As soon as I completed it, when I go into the “Appearance – Customize” section, it will say “Please log in again.”, and ask me to log-in over, and over and over again, although for a second it does say I logged in successfully.

    Nothing has been changed, rewritten, added or customized so far. It’s just a vanilla install of WordPress, on a multi-site subdomain setup.

    I can live with that, but my issue is, when I had my previous install (I backed it up before reinstalling this blank instance of WP), I was running a “Coming Soon” plugin, and had a similar issue. Since it wouldn’t recognize me as logged in, every time I tried to preview from the dashboard, I’d see my coming soon page.

    I searched a lot for similar issues, but some of them were just because they had changed their blog/site URL’s (I haven’t), or just never got to fix the issue.

    Hope you can help, thanks!

    So in the meantime, me theory was maybe the wildcard domain was messing with some configs in there… maybe having some rogue “www subdomain” request redirected to wordpress multisite…

    I removed the wildcard subdomain entry, and I’m still having the same issue, so at least we have that one crossed out. I still left it without the wildcard entry… I think I’d rather manually add the subdomain for each new blog that gets created.

    But the question remains! What can it be? .htaccess? This is what I have in it so far

    =========================================

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

    # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^ – [L]
    RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]

    Solved! Apparently, I didn’t flush cookies after one of the last tweaks I did.
