"Cookies not enabled" error in Chrome only

    I’ve got Simplemodal Login installed, and I’ve used a custom function to add wp_loginout() to a link in the menu.

    It works and behaves correctly in Firefox and IE. But in Chrome, when attempting to login, it fails and gives the “cookies are disabled” error. After that, attempting to login a second time usually works (if not, a third attempt usually does). This happens both in Chrome on my Windows desktop, and on my Android smartphone.

    Same thing happens to me. If I put a wrong password, I sometimes have a message that says my cookies are not activated.

    But it doesn’t seem like there’s any support for that plugin though ??

    I have similar issue, except it happens in all browsers. After first login attemp, I get error “cookies are disabled” (they aren’t of course) then after page reload ctr+r I can successfuly login.
    This is what I’ve done for now:
    edit file simplemodal-login.php
    find line 364
    delete this <input type="hidden" name="testcookie" value="1" />
    I think this code sets test cookie
    It looks like everything works fine for me.

    That does seem to have fixed it, thanks for that!

    I can confirm that jacek606 trick works fine. I had this problem with Chrome and Waterox (I’m using it since Firefox started to hang on my Win8 x64). Noticed that it does no more work on IE10. No modal, just the normal WP login page.

    I can confirm jacek606’s fix still works for Chrome 35.0 and Firefox 30.0.

    Thanks jacek606 for saving my day! ??
