encrypt cookie warning not going away

seems to have been duplicated, sorry

Are you sure you added all of the lines?

You should have 4 keys and 4 salts.

Hi!

Your suggestion got me thinking.

The problem was that I upgraded from WMPU and reused my wp-config.php file (with a couple adjustments).

I had used the WPMU secret key generator which was 5 entries instead of 4 for the authentication keys.

Once I changed those keys to the regular wordpress ones I still got a warning, but instead of giving me one salt, it gave me 4.

So, like you said, I now have 4 keys and 4 salts, instead of what I had for my WPMU install which was 5 keys 1 salt.

Thanks, it’s fixed.

I would like some more detail on your solution. I’m having a similar problem and cannot get my admin pages to stop showing an AUTH encrypt warning.

I successfully installed a multisite WP 3.0 version on one host and then copied verbatim to a second similar host but keep getting the problem.

This is to say I had a working wp-config file in one instance and apparently not in the next almost identical install (differences are only in database name, username, and password of wp-config, plus the root URL instances found in the multisite section of wp-config and in the DB).

I’m using the 4 line code suggested by the randomly generated warning as well as trying what is generated at https://api.www.ads-software.com/secret-key/1.1/

@ipstenu at the other thread just helped me discover the problem. I’ll repeat the solution here for others:

There’s a KEY 4 line block AND a SALT 4 line block.

Having only ever seen the KEY version before in working with non-multisite WP, I did not notice a difference.

In other words, I was copying over the SALT with the KEY since I didn’t know there’s a difference.

There are 8 lines total that need to be included in the wp-config file on multisite consisting of both SALT and KEY codes.
