Session expiration loop with theme configuration

    Immediately after an installation of WP 3.5 (with iPage host add-on plugins disabled) I go to the WP dashboard and change the theme from 2012 to 2011 via Appearance->Themes->Live preview–>Save & activate
    I’m presented with “Your session has expired. Please log-in again.” When I log in again, it immediately logs me out.

    This occurs with any customization of a theme. This appears to be the same issue as:
    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/your-session-has-expired-please-log-in-again-ad-infinitum?

    As noted by a poster, “Looks like the problem is with different subdomains in “WordPress Address” and “Site Address” (i.e. http://www.example.com and http://example.com ). The cookies are set for the subdomain listed in WordPress Address, the wp-admin also runs from this subdomain, whereas the live preview uses the Site Address => the cookies does not match => session expired.”

    It’s not cache, firewall, or browser, as I’ve recreated this on multiple settings.

    I’ve tried this with no luck –> “make sure that WordPress Address and Site Address URLs include the same subdomain.” as i’m using my root directory for both. I’ve also tried every variant of http://www.example.com and http://example.com in “WordPress Address” and “Site Address” with no luck.

    I’ve cleaned out my root directory and reinstalled WP. My hosting service (iPage) has said this is a WP support issue. I have not been able to find a work around to customize the themes. Any suggestions??????

    I am getting the exact same behavior and can’t figure it out. I have third party cookies enabled, I’m using the 2012 theme to validate, I have cleared cache and cookies, and I’ve checked my sessions storage. Anyone have any advice not already tried?

    Got the exact same problem. You must have solved the problem, since your post is 3 month old. What’s the trick?

    Never did solve the issue, but I noted that the saves did ‘stick’ even though I had the session expiration loop occur. Hope that helps.

    I never solved it either. Like xilinxchic, I just dealt with it since the the changes were saved. Would still like a fix though.

    Hey there. I haven’t been able to duplicate this on my own sites, but I am seeing it on a customer site. I am curious whether you have the same themes or plugins.

    – What themes are you using?
    – What plugins are you using?

    Maybe we could find a common denominator.
