Update cause auto-login to loop back to login screen

Sorry that you’re seeing a login loop, @erbuc.

I can’t reproduce this in Local 8.3.2 (or the newly-released 9.0.1: Releases - Local).

Some things to try:

  1. Try logging in with another browser with one-click admin disabled. If you can log in there, go back to your default browser, clear your browser cookies, restart your browser and Local, and try again.

  2. If this affects one site (rather than new ones as well), try temporarily renaming your plugins folder from wp-content/plugins to _plugins on the affected site. A plugin could be causing login issues. (From your logs it looks like WordPress updated recently as well as Local, so a plugin may be causing login issues.)

  3. Open the site shell and type “wp option get siteurl”. It should show a website address with either http:// or https://. With one-click admin disabled, check that you are logging in to the wp-admin screen at the exact same URL (e.g. if you see https://mysite.local, be sure to visit https://mysite.local/wp-admin/ and not the http version.)

  4. Open your site’s wp-config.php file in a text editor. Check that the final line does not end in define('NONCE_SALT'. If it does, apply the fix suggested in this post: Unable to login, changing wp-config.php workaround
