1.
When I login to the backend as admin I often get redirected to the login page instantly, no error displayed. I have to retry to login for 2 to 3 times before I get in.
Also when working the backend it sometimes automatically logs me out when I click save. Tried deleting cookies but this didn't help.

2.
When I login to the backend as manager on the same computer I before used the admin account, after some clicks the login changes to admin. This is a cookie problem. Is it possible to reset cookies when a user is logout?


Specially the 1st problem is a pain in the ***

I have had a similar problem myself I relized (maybe erroniously) that it had to do with me using multiple administrator accounts. When I cleared out all my cookies and used only one account the problem went away.



if you are working for an extended period of time before clicking save the session may have expired, so you would have to login again.

as for the second problem having the cookies reset would be a nice feature considering it would also seem to fix the first part of problem one.

Tried that but doesn't help, problem persists.


This also happens when working in an item for a couple of seconds, it might also be related to the first problem.

Hmm That's very odd, I don't know how you could have gotten that if you didnd't edit anything. Did you try downloading a new copy of it at mamboforge and overwriting the current one? May be that will solve your problem.

Did that, but it didn't help
I have 2 superadmin accounts because I don't want to everybody to see I'm the admin and I want to be able to edit from the frontend.
Maybe I should make my own account publisher. I don't think that will help because I get kicked out even if I throw away all cookies and do a clean login as manager/admin/superadmin. I'm getting a little frustrated here......

If you have multiple admin widows open -- under more than one site, or more than one admin account -- the result is that you continually overwrite the admin cookie.

Only solution is... One window for one account on one site at a time.

Also set the login session time higher in Global Config >> Server tab. This will help for overall idle timeouts.

I only have one site so that cannot be the problem.
Strange thing is that when I open the admin login page, then throw away my cookies and then when I login, everything seems to be ok.
