# Remember Me function doesn't seem to work

 * Hello, I have noticed that the Remember Me function when logging in doesn’t seem
   to work when this plugin is activated. I’m able to login and browse the site,
   but if I close my browser and go back to the site I am asked to login again. 
   Is there anyway to get Remember Me working again if I close a browser on a machine
   and re-open it that it will still remember the session?

 * What browser and OS are you using?
 * I just tested in Firefox and Safari on Mac and the remember me feature worked.

 * I tested it with both Chrome and Edge on a PC and same thing on both. It even
   happens if I open a new tab and try to go to the site with it logged in on another
   tab.

 * I tested on a Mac as well and you’re right, even Chrome works without checking
   the “Remember me” box… Any idea why it would simply not work on a PC?

 * Have you tried testing on a different PC? Could it be something about _your_ 
   PC’s settings?
 * I’m not sure why my plugin would affect the login form/process -and- only on 
   Windows machines. The plugin code only checks if you’re logged-in using the builtin
   WordPress function `is_user_logged_in()` and if that returns false – you’re redirected
   to the WordPress login URL.

 * After a bit of googling, I found a couple options you could try:
    - If this isn’t a new WordPress install, but an upgrade to the new version; 
      try replacing your wp-config.php file with a new one.
       [http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php)
    - Delete cookies, empty browser cache, and quit and restart the browser. Sometimes
      this can clear odd login issues.
    - Try adding the `www` in front of the address; “it [might] force it to destroy
      a rogue cookie if their is one.”
 * Also, you could try using the browser or a password manager to remember your 
   login credentials instead:
    - **MS Edge**

    - **Chrome**
       [https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95606?hl=en](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95606?hl=en)
    - **Password Managers**

 * Thanks Kevin, tried the wp-config.php replacement and no love there. I may just
   have to have my users use a password manager. It’s quite an odd issue since it’s
   PC only (I’ve tried 3 different PCs and same thing).
 * Thank you.
