I don’t want cookies

  • Hi,
    Is there a way to disable cookie based auth.?
    There are a few users on my WP. They always forget logout, and then problems come. I need a logout mechanism like, when user close the browser WP must assume user is logouting.
    Other problem with cookies is that, some users use same machine for browsing my WP. So when they try to give a comment on a topic they see username and email of user, who commented before them.
    How can i solve these?

  • I don’t use wordpress myself so some of the following info maybe wrong.
    I don’t see an option on the admin panel so it looks like you’re going to have to edit files. I also don’t know how WP does auth.
    It would be possible to change the length of the cookies given to the user, although that would effect everyone. So instead of lasting 1yr they may last 3 days or something.
    If wordpress just relies on sessions then it *might* be possible to set use_only_cookies (can’t remember exact syntax here) to 0 instead of 1. This means that the session_id is passed around in the url instead of stored in a cookie.
    Sorry if this doesn’t make sense to you. You might like to wait to hear from a WP user ;_
