Error with Cookie wp-setting-1

Hey @alfredo1216 ,

This issue with the wp-settings-1 cookie having an excessively large value could be related to a misconfiguration in how WordPress or your server handles the wp-settings cookie.

First start by clearing the cookies for your site in the browser or logging in via an incognito browsing window.

If the problem persists, lets try to limit the size of the cookie. The wp-settings cookie stores preferences for the WordPress admin interface, such as editor settings or screen options. If these settings grow too large, it can exceed the cookie size limit imposed by the server.

You can force WordPress to store fewer settings by modifying the functions.php file in your theme and restricting unnecessary settings:

add_filter('wp_user_settings', function($settings) {
return ''; // Reset settings to avoid excessive cookie size.
});

If you still have the issue could it be a coding error in the functions.php file or any customizations in the wordpress core files.

Hi,

I tried those recommendations and it didn’t work for me.

However, I found a solution since the problem only occurred with an administrator user.

I went into the database and located “wp_usermeta” with the user ID, looked for the meta_key of “wp_user-settings” and modified its value manually so that WordPress would later adjust it to the corresponding values ??and it worked.

Thanks for your help.

Hi @mateico ,

After a day the error with the cookie returned, I have not modified any internal WordPress files. What could be happening?

This is the value of the cookie that I am receiving:

COOKIE= wp-settings-1
