    Trying to use Duplicator to move one of my addon domains to another domain on the same webhost (HostGator).

    Everything goes fine and the site is up. But trying to login to the WordPress admin panel on the new domain, I get the above error. Here’s the full error, again:

    ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress.

    I have tried clearing all the cookies and tried logging in using 3 browsers – Chrome, Firefox and Opera – all latest versions. No use.

    I also clicked the forgot password option in WordPress and reset the password. The password was reset fine but it didn’t let me login, giving the same above error about the cookies.

    I deleted the installation by logging in through ftp and ran the installer.php once again. This time, on the second step, I provided an additional admin user to create. The site/blog was up fine, but once again, I got the above cookies error when trying to login into the WP admin panel.

    Can someone help me log into the admin panel? Any more info needed, I can provide. I searched for a solution using the search box, but the solutions which worked for others didn’t work for me, and those problems weren’t related to the Duplicator plugin.

    Kind Regards,
    Raspal

  • I found the same thing with W3 Total cache but changing the setting did not remove the cookie error. I tried different browsers etc. Multiple attempts with different settings on/off. Nothing gets me past the cookie error message when trying to access the site to do the cleanup.

    Pity as the concept is so good in theory.

    I’m not 100% on this, but if your site is on a sub-domain or in a sub-path off the root directory then you might try:

    define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'subdomain.mynewsite.com');
and
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'mynewsite.com/pathtowp/');

    Be sure to also clear your browsers cookie store…
