Being logged out automatically all the time

    Hi,

    For the past week or two (prior to and after upgrading to 2.9.1), wordpress has been automatically logging me out while I am in the middle of working on things. I will be writing a post and go to save, only to find out I’m now logged out. Or I’m moving widgets around in my sidebar and going to the blog to see what they look like, only to find that they haven’t moved anywhere and then notice it is because I’m logged out.

    I always choose “remember me” when I log in and I used to stay logged in indefinitely and even when I came back my blog would recognize me. Now I have to login every time and it even logs me out while I am working on things.

    It seems to log me out after less than 15 minutes of inactivity. By inactivity I mean that I haven’t “saved” or navigated to a different page. So if I write for 15 minutes and then go to save, I’m not logged in. If I work on sidebar widgets for 15 minutes and then go to look at them, they haven’t actually saved.

    Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggested solutions?

    Thanks

    Annie

    I don’t think that wordpress is the cause.

    If you’re using e.g firefox in “private browsing mode”.
    Firefox won’t save any cookies which gives you an automatic logout since wordpress uses cookies for authentication.

    So check if you have a some kind of program or addon installed to your browser that deletes cookies, cache etc, after x amount of minutes.
