    Hello. I have a problem with one of my WordPress sites. I received the “cookies are blocked” error upon viewing the wp-login.php page. I tried the solutions written in the documentation, however, there was no change. I believe the issue is with the Hide-WP plugin on my site, as I had used it to change the default backend login URL.

    Nevertheless, I deactivated all plugins and the default theme on my site, still with no change. The same error still shows up on the login page. I haven’t made any changes on my other site (link in post) yet, but receive the same error when visited. What is the problem? Thanks in advance.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    It sounds like you might have actually blocked cookies in your browser. Depending on the browser this could even be a default setting.

    Are you able to try in another browser?

    @johnstonphilip Nope, it gives the same error when I try logging in with Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge. I’m currently using Firefox. There is no issue with the site at my main domain. The sites on the subdomains use the same users database table, so is this linked the problem? It was working perfectly fine earlier.

    Could someone please help me? I cannot understand what the problem is. I tried disabling Wordfence login security on my main site to see if it was causing the issue. Still, nothing changed.
