WordPress.org

   I'm having problems involving possibly cookies & login. Often, but not always, when I open a new Firefox browser session (I'm using Session Mgr. so I'm essentially reopening tabs fr. the previous session), instead of opening the page from my blog the tab takes me to a login pg.

   When I go into the Firefox cookie cache I see the following cookies:

   wordpress.org utmc
   wordpress. org utmz
   wordpress.org utma

   But when I go to the WordPress.com cache I see a cookie called WordPress Logged In. Shouldn't I see a cookie like that in WP.org as well? I also notice that after logging in I still see the same 3 cookies listed above.

   I don't know whether the problem here is Firefox not generating the proper cookie or whether there's a conflict generated by WP. If anyone has any ideas or has seen similar behavior pls. let me know.

   wordpress.org utmc
   wordpress. org utmz
   wordpress.org utma

   those are cookies from this domain.

   Those cookies have absolutely nothing to do with wordpress.com Different domain.

   Shouldn't I see a cookie like that in WP.org as well?

   No, because you are confusing what cookies are doing, and you are confusing domains.

   Unless something doesnt work, assume the best, and dont worry about what you see in your cookies.

   I understand that they're diff. domains. But the cookies for wordpress.org are NOT WORKING. So something IS wrong. I'm just trying to figure out what it is.

   Since WordPress.com & WordPress.org have a lot of commonalities I was asking someone who knows both systems if they could tell me whether the wordpress.org cookies should reflect what I see in wordpress.com.
