    Hi, I installed your plugin yesterday and now we are logged out of the site, can’t log in as admin or subscriber. The page just reloads the login page showing we are logged out.

    You can remove the plugin files by deleting the directory. I will investigate and push an update with fixes, of which there are a few with similar reports.

    Thanks so much, will do!

    This seems like a duplicate of https://wordpress.org/support/topic/refreshes-login-screen-when-logging-in/

    Login only works if “Remember Me” is selected, otherwise users are just redirected back to the login screen.

    When I log in and it fails:

    Note expiry time!

    When I select “Remember me” and it works:

    I fixed this now with a mu-plugin:

        Always use "Remember me" to circumvent bug in plugin Samesite

    +function rememberme_checked() {
    +  echo "<script>document.getElementById('rememberme').checked = true;</script>";
    +}
    

    I had the same problem with the login loop, and noticed that if the “remember me” option was checked, it worked. Using the “Snippets” plugin, I added this code to fix it by always checking the option, then hiding it so it can’t be unchecked.

    add_action(
        'init',
        function() {
            add_filter(
                'login_footer',
                function() {
                    echo "<script type='text/javascript'>document.querySelector('#rememberme').checked = true; document.querySelector('.forgetmenot').style.display = 'none';</script>";
                }
            );
        }
    );

    I just released v1.5 of this plugin for a fix that it sent a negative expiration time, making browsers immediately remove the cookie. I think that version should fix the issue. Thank you.
