Problem with login return url in 2.7.2
Development and Programming
On my other EE sites, when one logs in, I can use the login_forms return variable to return to a page like: www.site.com/index.php/members
Now it is returning me to something like: www.site.com/index.php/S=abe1a030fe8eb7a961df24bf947c8add/members
With the “S=” segment. Looks like a session variable to me.
If I then try to go to any page on my the site, like: www.site.com/index.php/news
the user gets logged out.
How can I make the system NOT use that “S=” thing as it’s breaking the whole site?
Thanks
Hi, in the EE control panel, can you try going to Admin > Security and Privacy > Security and Session? Once there, ensure that the following two preferences are set as follows:
Control Panel Session Type: Cookies only User Session Type: Cookies only
Those two preferences determine whether the EE backend and frontend sessions use cookies, session IDs or both.
Hope that helps.
