XF 1.2 Users Being Logged Out When Checking Remember Me

[Brent W]

Since upgrading to 1.2 we have had members complain that they are being logged out even after clicking remember me. You can see their feedback here: http://www.orchidsforum.com/threads/stay-logged-in-seems-to-expire-early.12300/

Anything I can do to help troubleshoot this?

In version 1.1.3 the remember me cookie is set for 7 days. I just checked for v1.2b5 it's 30 days. So I don't know when the change was made. You can check the code at:

library/Xenforo/Model/User.php

check line #1319 or there about.

This is the line you want to check, the 30 represents 30 days:

XenForo_Helper_Cookie::setCookie('user', $value, 30 * 86400, true);

One person in that thread said he has to do it once a week. I have been upgrading xenForo once every week on that site since the Beta's started coming out. I wonder if the upgrade process destroys cookies or something when it is done?

 

[Jeremy]

Cookies aren't destroyed on upgrades. How often does that user visit?

 

[Brent W]

He frequents the site. It seems they only complain about having to login right after an upgrade though.

Another person on another one of my forums just reported this as well: http://www.bookandreader.com/threads/software-upgrade.25716/#post-363256

I have made no server changes. Only change is an upgrade to 1.2 on all of my sites.

I (and my members) are having the same problem here (the auto-log out). It seems to happen even when changing between forum nodes / threads. I have checked my User.php, as well as deleted all cookies related to my forum. I am seeing this in Chrome and Safari, and others are reporting it in Chrome and FireFox. Any ideas? Is there anything I can provide to help troubleshoot this?

Count me as another person with this problem on my website after upgrading yesterday to 1.2. It just happened to me. Logged in, clicked a thread, click a different link and I was logged out. There's no prompt, you just realize that the login bar is back at the top.

How do we get support for this? Is this posted in the right place?

yes its posted in the right spot.. If it wasnt the mods are quick to move...

 

[Brent W]

It seems to have stopped on my end. I really believe it had something to do with upgrading 1.2. Every single time I would upgrade during the Beta and RC phases I would get complaints about this. We will see what happens when 1.2.1 comes out.

Check if the xf_user cookie is set correctly and with the right domain and expiration date. If you see at my screenshot, the cookie is set to expire 30 days from now.

I usually log in using facebook, so I don't use the xf_user cookie. I will start using it to see if I can reproduce it.

If I close my screen and go to another site, and come back to xenforo. I have to log in again...

 

[Vanessa Cursino]

I have the same issue. I try to log in with the facebook, without facebook. I can't keep me logged... when I try to answer some topic... I'm being logged out.

I try to rebuild the forum via /install... I disable all addons... but nothing works.

 

[rtr2006]

Still, same issue.

 

[Steqheu]

Just realized that I just posted the same thing. I'm yet another experiencing this issue.
