I found that some people were still having problems. I then traced this to the fact that they had session cookies switched off.

If you are using IE, you can find this as follows:

[Tools][Internet Options][Privacy]
Click on [Advanced]
Then override automatic cookie handling and set [always allow session cookies]

All users are now working without problems.

YES !!!!!!!!!

After 2 weeks of solid work, I’ve finally solved this problem !

Edit wp-pass.php

Change the line :

wp_redirect($_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’]);

to:

wp_redirect(‘https://mydomain.com/mydirectory/’);

Where mydomain.com is the actual wp directory rather than https://www.myredirecteddomain.com.

Hope this helps – happy blogging using you free webspace !

Thanks scaturan, you are of course correct. The problem is that I am trying to set up the blog for a club, and ￡10 per month for proper web hosting is more than they can afford.

I hadn’t heard it called “stealth redirection” before (freeparking.com that I use call it “URL making”). So you help will at least give me another avenue to explore with the search engines.

I have now been working with this problem for 2 weeks solid (hours per day!). I still can’t work out the answer. On the positive side, when I (someone else) figures it out, I will enjoy customising wordpress as I now feel that I know it in good detail (apart from the authorisation!).

If anyone on here understands how the authorisation works, and what could be causing my problem I beg you to help me urgently. I like wordpress, but if I can’t overcome this problem I will have to try different blog software, which would be a shame as wordpress is such a good package.

Thank you all in anticipation, whoever sorts this out gets my undying gratitude.

Still struggling with this – can anyone help?

I can do this, but then I would loose the domain masking.

I’m still working on this problem (3 full days later!), wp-login.php seems to authenticate the user, which is then rejected by the page that it’s redirected to.

This is definately an authentication problem.

The problem is that I can’t work out the authentication process, all documentation seems to suggest that it uses cookies, yet there are no wordpress cookies on my PC when I look for them (even though it logs in OK when I don’t use the domain masking). It seems to me that wordpress doesn’t use cookies unless you check the “remember me” box. Instead it seems to pass infomation from one page to the next, although I can’t for the life of me work out how it does this!.

Anyone with information on how wordpress pages check if the user is logged in (or links to how this happens) please, please, please tell me.

This is probably a referer problem – see my post above
