User Switching

Actually, I use that plugin too with no issues. When exactly do you get that error?

Hmm, that’s odd, but also good news because we really need that functionality ??

I get the error right when I click a link to switch to the user. The switching URL looks something like:

/custom-login/?action=switch_to_user&user_id=5&nr=1&_wpnonce=f301091a50

The error reads:

The link you followed has expired.
Please try again.

The user switching works as normal without Cerber active.

Any ideas?

What version of User Switching do you use? I’ve tested with 1.3.0.

I was using 1.3, also updated to 1.5 and it still doesn’t work.. hmm

Here’s what the User Switching developer has to say on the matter:

Go to “Main Settings” and make sure that the “Load security engine” setting is set to “Standard mode”.

Yep, it’s already in standard mode

Could multisite have anything to do with it?

It’s possible. Try to disable the custom login URL and use wp-login.php instead.

Well yeah, that works, but then that URL is hammered by people/bots trying to get in ??

At least it gives us a clue. Do you use a subfolder installation or a subdomain?

Subdomain / real domain.
