    Hi guys
    This is a new problem and as far as I know nothing else has changed on the site.
    We’re on WP 5.6.1 and WP-Cerber is auto-updating (currently at 8.8)
    In the Page editor, as soon as I try to update the page I get force-logged-out, although the page IS updated (but the “Last edited date” isn’t…)
    After some trial-&-error I tracked it down to WP-Cerber; deactivating that fixes the problem. Reactivsating it brings it back. Weird thing is there’s no record of me being logged-out in the Cerber Activities log (although there’s a load of my logging back-in, and of bad stuff from other IPs being blocked).
    Obviously I can just deactivate WP-Cerber to post, but it’s a pain and I shouldn’t have to. Not sure what else I can tell you… thanks for any advice.
    Cheers

    What is the “Page editor”?

    If someone got “forcefully logged out”, it means either user auth cookies were deleted or information about the user session was deleted from the website database. You can enable traffic logging and check requests from your IP address to see what request was your last authorized request. Enable “Save response cookies” and “Save request cookies” to see with what request the WordPress auth cookies disappear (were deleted).
