Sidebar login doesn’t consistently log me in on all pages

    Hello Jeff,

    I am using TML version 6.4.16, on a very basic four-page website that uses the Twenty Sixteen theme. I have put the TML login form in the right sidebar. Overall, it works great. However, I have found that if I login as a regular user (as opposed to an admin), I only consistently show up as logged in on the page from which I logged in. If I navigate to one of the other pages, more often than not the sidebar indicates that I still need to log in, even though I just did. Also, any conditional forms on those pages behave as though I am not logged in. The browsers in which I did my testing were Internet Explorer and Brave.

    Is this a known issue? Please advise if you can. Thanks.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Do you have a caching plugin installed and active, or does your host implement server-side caching?

    Problem solved, I think. Thank you! My host (Bluehost) had caching enabled by default, and this appears to have been causing what I described.

    For my fellow Bluehost users, if you’re having this problem, log into your account and go to My Sites->Performance. From there, select “Caching Off”.
