Try it with all add-ons disabled and see if the issue goes away. If it does, it's an add-on issue, in which case re-enable them one by one until you find the culprit and then post in that add-on's thread for support.

I disabled EVERY SINGLE addon, and it still happens. I really dont want to do a clean install and reconfigure everything. Is there anything that it could be?

I doubt it's a style issue, but try on the default XenForo style and see if the issue persists.

 

[MinecraftB0ss]

I also just updated my xenforo install to 1.3.4 and tried that, still nothing.

 

[MinecraftB0ss]

The default style still yields the same result :/

When did the issue start? Was there anything you did before the issue started that might have caused it?

 

[MinecraftB0ss]

Yes, when i transferred my installation to a webhost from a dedicated server running windows server 2012

May be a server issue, then.

@Jake Bunce, @MattW, and @Tracy Perry are server experts I personally know, and they'll likely be able to help when they're available.

 

[MinecraftB0ss]

ok, thanks. I really appreaciate the help on fixing this issue.

For the time being you could eliminate the Remember Me and have it always checked internally using this add-on:

The problem isnt that its too hard to check the box, the problem is that i cant use the widget framework hook view part to see where i can hook widgets into, because sessions arent working. Thats why im trying to fix this issue.

Is this a shared hosting environment or a VPS?

 

[MattW]

Do you have anything configured in the config.php file for caching the sessions? Is this on shared hosting, or a VPS / Dedicated?

 

[MinecraftB0ss]

shared hosting, and i have a sub install on the hosting that is working, which is why im thinking its an issue with the install.

Can you post the contents of the config.php file (excluding the database information)?

 

[MinecraftB0ss]

<?php

$config['db']['host'] = 'localhost';
$config['db']['port'] = '3306';
$config['db']['username'] = 'username';
$config['db']['password'] = 'password';
$config['db']['dbname'] = 'database';

$config['superAdmins'] = '1';

 

[MattW]

So nothing in there then that is relating to caching the sessions etc.

Does the host have / allow any custom php.ini sessions that could be affecting the php session storage?

 

[MinecraftB0ss]

i dont believe so, because the other install that i have within the same hosting is working just fine

As per your ticket, your IP is being changed via cloudflare. You can disable cloudflare to confirm, and will need to determine what header is storing the real IP and setting that appropriately in config.php.
