Title: Clear login cache Last modified: September 30, 2019 --- # Clear login cache * Resolved [CC / Caroline Claudia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claudiacc/) * (@claudiacc) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clear-login-cache/) * Hi, * We were wondering if there is a way to completely clear the cache for login. Unfortunately, the cache is causing issues for people trying to login. Hope you can help. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fclear-login-cache%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clear-login-cache/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clear-login-cache/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Marc Lacroix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcusig/) * (@marcusig) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clear-login-cache/#post-11988503) * Hi there, * You can exclude specific pages in the advanced settings, and by default logged- in users aren’t served cached content. * Could you describe the issues specifically? * Best regards, * Marc. * [marbaque](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marbaque/) * (@marbaque) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clear-login-cache/#post-11989679) * [@marcusig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcusig/) I have a similar problem. Users can’t login, even the adminsitrator. This is happening after I modified the settings. * I am locked out. How can I fix this?

You could try to reduce the cache lifespan to a few hours. Ideally, the login form shouldn’t be using a “nonce”. Though you might not be able to change that. * Marc. * Thread Starter [CC / Caroline Claudia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claudiacc/) * (@claudiacc) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clear-login-cache/#post-11998433) * Hi [@marcusig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcusig/), * Thank you so much for the info. In the Theme plugin I saw this below, do you think that I can change that? * // First check the nonce, if it fails the function will break check_ajax_referer(‘ ajax-login-nonce’, ‘security’ ); * // Nonce is checked, get the POST data and sign user on $info = array(); $info[‘ user_login’] = sanitize_text_field($_POST[‘username’]); $info[‘user_password’] = $_POST[‘password’]; $info[‘remember’] = true; * [Marc Lacroix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcusig/) * (@marcusig) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clear-login-cache/#post-11998508) * [@claudiacc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claudiacc/) What do you mean by “In the Theme plugin”? * That line `check_ajax_referer( ‘ajax-login-nonce’, ‘security’ );` seems to be what causes the issue. * I would discourage editing files in your theme, unless if it’s a custom theme or a child theme. Otherwise any edits you made might be overridden when a new update of that theme is released. * Marc.
