Login Bug in Safari (iOS)

[dimabuko]

On iPhone/iPad you should:
1. Log in (remember me unchecked), do smth
2. Close Safari
3. Open Safari, open site
4. If you try to open protected content – it is showing to you. But you can’t comment it and is showing standard WordPress message “Please Log in to comment”.

On desktop there is the same bug. Tested is Safari.

1. Log in (remember me is unchecked)
2. Close Safari, open Safari again
3. Access the protected page (permitted for your level). It opens.
4. In the comments area you see the message “Log in to comment”

Additional info
1. If you try to open /membership-login/membership-profile/ it opens.

Problem:
Authorised user with right permission for page can’t comment it. WordPress thinks that user isn’t logged in.

Please help! For my project it’s now super critical issue.

The same actions in Chrome wouldn’t show the bug. Now found that it happens only in Safari — desktop, iPhone, iPad (latest iOS and Mac OS X).

I just tested it using an iPad and and iPhone and I don’t see any issue with the login. It works fine for me. After I log into the site, it shows me the protected post and comments. Also, allows me to post a comment. So I am not sure whats going on with your setup.

Did you tested that way?

1. Log in (remember me unchecked), do smth
2. Close Safari. Close the app (not hide it, close it)
3. Open Safari (relaunch)
4. Open (it will be reloaded) site, access protected page
4. If you try to open protected content – it is showing to you. But you can’t comment it and is showing standard WordPress message “Please Log in to comment”.

If “remember me” is unchecked then there is no guarantee that the login will be valid after you close the browser and then re-open it. You have to assume that you will need to login again.

Why aren’t you logging into the site again after you close the browser and re-open it? Or why aren’t you using the remember me checkbox if you do want to stay logged-in?

[dimabuko]

I understand.

But looks like you logged in because you have an access to post but you can’t comment on it because wordpress thinks you are not logged in.

And that’s not ok.

OK, also I am showing a username in site header and logout link.

But because of described bug I have situations when users are logged in, have access to protected pages, but can’t comment on it and there are no username in header.

I understand that described case looks strange for you now. But I use your great plugin for 1 000 000 registered users and a lot of them using iPhones/iPads where this bug appears after browser relaunch.

Please help me or ask me smth additional.
