Hi!

When I try to customize my theme this text is displayed:
“Your session has expired. Please log-in again”

Even if I log in, the log in-page is displayed over and over again.

I have tried to deactivate all plugins as well as switching to Twenty Twelve theme and it still won’t work.

Anybody help?

What theme are you using? Where did you download it from?

I am using Oxygen as parent theme, and then my own child theme for the css and some of the php-files. Though I’ve tried to reset to the parent theme as well, so that should not be the problem…

Can you replicate the problem using the default 2012 theme with all plugins deactivated?

Yes, inactivating all the plugins and setting to default theme does not change anything…

True, thank you! Though I don’t understand why this happens. I have changed the url using this guide http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory (“Using a pre-existing subdirectory install”), so the wp-login.php file is in the same directory as all the other files.

What can I do? Do you think it would be better to move all the files to the root directory?

No – this has nothing to do with WordPress. My guess is that this is an issue with the server and its session handling. Have you spoken to your hosts about it?

Problem solved by simply moving all the files to the root instead.

Thanks anyways everybody!

-> Log into WordPress
-> Go to Settings
-> Go to General
If your WordPress Address URL and Site Address URL are have different prefixes then make ‘em the same (e.g either both http://yoursite.com OR http://www.yoursite.com)
And you should be good to go!

if site address has www you have to put www in wordpress address…

It worked for me, Theme customizr.

No! This will break some sites that run WordPress from a sub-folder.
