WordPress MU

After installing Wordpress, I cannot login to my admin account.

I get a 'Session has expired' error, even after repeated tries with the correct login information.

I can only login after I have cleared all cookies manually.

This is a bug that is present in Wordpress 1.5, but already fixed in 1.5.1.

Any chance that MU would also fix it?

On a sidenote, I must commend the team for a job well done. MU has been getting better, and in fact, other than for the aforementioned error, I have no gripes about MU. Thanks once again.

Strange, the latest.tar.gz tarball is based on the latest code from SVN so the bug should be fixed in WPMU too!

I'll try the tarball. Was using the zip file.

Nope, unfortunately it the tarball doesn't work either. Even when I was using the latest version on the 31st May

Ok I made a quick and dirty hack but it works anyhow.

In wp-inst/wp-login.php:

Search for Original:

if ($using_cookie)
$error = __('Your session has expired');

Replace with:

if ($using_cookie)
{
foreach ($_COOKIE as $key => $value)
{
setcookie($key, '', time()-99999999, '/');
setcookie($key, '', time()-99999999);
}
$error = __('');
}

This works on the principle that the error as aforementioned in the first post is only removed after all cookies are removed. As such, the above hack simply loops through all Wordpress MU cookies and removes them.

I'm not sure of the repercussions (if any) that this hack may have, but I don't think it does any damage.
