 * Sorry I didn’t see this earlier. It shouldn’t be possible to blacklist an admin
   user, it’s explicitly whitelisted in the plugin and not available as a choice
   to blacklist. (at least in the latest version of the plugin.)
 * If you indeed blacklisted the admin (it may have been possible in an earlier 
   version of the plugin), you’ll need to delete three rows from the wp_options 
   table in the database. (where option_name equals the following values):
 * wp_admin_no_show_redirect_type
    wp_admin_no_show_blacklist_roles wp_admin_no_show_redirect_page
 * Then delete and reinstall the plugin.
 * If you do indeed have the latest version (1.4.3), then double check that you’re
   actually logging in as an admin. If so, I’d really be curious on what version
   of the plugin and WordPress you are using, and anything that may be out of the
   ordinary.

   that, you should be able to navigate to settings by going to:
 * Settings->WP Admin No Show

 * Did you move the old page to the trash or delete permanently? If the old page
   is in the trash, you need to delete it permanently.
 * It’s also possible you may need to flush your permalinks, which you can simply
   do by going to Settings->Permalinks in the admin and then click “Save Changes.”

 * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-import-error-help/#post-4578830)
 * It appears your server (most likely Apache) has a 32M memory limit for PHP (the
   max amount of memory a PHP process is allowed to consume) and your import process
   needs more. You either need to split your files into yet smaller files, or update
   your memory limit. (I try to always have at least 64M.)
 * There are ways to adjust this configuration, but if you’re using a hosted solution,
   then the odds are slight that you’ll be allowed to do so. You may ask your host
   if they can give you a 64M memory limit for PHP or try some of the solutions 
   in this thread. (but as I said, but most hosts won’t allow this.)

   you for the detailed info! I’ll be working on the plugin tonight. I’ll probably

   the plugin to deal with multisite a few versions ago. I’m going to make some 
   updates and I’ll see if I can look at that as well.

 * Common php best practice is to not include the closing “?>” php tag if it’s the
   last line in the file. Just put the code above at the bottom of functions.php.(
   actually, it can go anywhere in the file.)

   In reply to: ["Cookies are blocked or not supported" since update to 3.7.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookies-are-blocked-or-not-supported-since-update-to-371/)

 * OK, this thread is up to 100 posts, so I’m going to summarize what’s been discovered
   and try and close this thing down. I’d also like to make sure the original poster(
   @willem.deboer) gets a solution.
 * **Overview**: The overarching issues is that after upgrading to WordPress 3.7
   or 3.7.1 the user now gets the following error message onscreen when attempting
   to login:
 * >  “Cookies are blocked or not supported”
 * **What should be happening (as of WordPress 3.7)**: When a user goes to `wp-login.
   php`, either directly or through a redirect from wp-admin, a test cookie should
   be set on that request. (an http `GET`.) When the login form is submitted, a 
   check is made on the `POST` to see if the test cookie was set. This happens before
   authentication. If a test cookie was not set, then the user returns to the login
   form page (`wp-login.php`) and the “Cookies are blocked or not supported” message
   is displayed onscreen. Otherwise normal authentication occurs. (either user is
   taken to wp-admin or gets an onscreeen error message stating login failed due
   to incorrect username/password.)
 * **Why am I getting this error with WordPress 3.7/3.7.1?**:
    1. (Confirmed) An update to WordPress 3.7 fixed a logic error that prevented the
       code in `wp-login.php` that actually tested for the presence of the test cookie
       from running. Some proxy/caching servers (confirmed with Varnish) are deleting
       WordPress cookies on `GET` requests, but since pre-WordPress 3.7 wasn’t actually
       checking the presence of the test cookie, the fact that the test cookie was 
       being deleted by the caching server was overlooked by WordPress and users could
       login successfully.
    2. (Unconfirmed, but some users have reported) Some plugins/themes may not be compatible
       with WordPress 3.7/3.7.1. The problem appears to be that a plugin/theme is sending
       output before the headers are being sent, causing a “headers already sent” warning,
       and consequently preventing WordPress from setting the test cookie (since “headers
       already sent” is a warning and not a fatal error, the web server will complete
       the request and simply not set the cookie).
 * **How do I tell which issue is effecting my site?**:
    1. If you get the “Cookies are blocked or not supported” when you submit the login
       form, try logging in a second time. If you can successfully login on the second
       attempt, this is a good indicator that you have a proxy/caching server deleting
       WordPress cookies on http `GET` requests. (`wp-login.php` will also set the 
       test cookie on a `POST` request, which is why you can login on the second attempt.)
    2. Rename your `plugins` directory under `wp-content` and then attempt to login.(
       basically, you need to disable all your plugins.) If you can now login, then
       you’ve got a problem with a plugin. (NOTE: Set `WP_DEBUG` to true in `wp-config.
       php` before renaming your plugin directory, this may tell you which plugin is
       at fault.) If you still can’t login, try changing to a default theme like TwentyTweleve
       or TwentyThirteen.
    3. To state the obvious, make sure your browser is accepting cookies…
 *  1.  **Important**: I’m not a moderator, so I can’t close this thread, but we need
       to make sure it remains useful for anyone who may search for a solution to this
       problem. If you’re not the original poster and this doesn’t fix the problem 
       you’re having, please start your own thread and someone will be glad to help
       you there.
