Sorin and Ian (but not JG) experience this:
* Fresh browser
* Get a modal login (e.g., login from top bar or "join a group")
* Log in; response is "Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser.
You must enable cookies to use WordPress"
* YOu can log in from the default WP login page OR by trying modal again.
Nope, I fail to reproduce the issue. I remember experiencing this in China, but not anymore. I wonder if that couldn't be because of a badly configured caching proxy beween you and the server.
Jean-Guilhem Rouel, 10 Dec 2013, 14:02:34So, apparently, the issue is that Wordpress sets a test cookie (to see if cookies are enabled) when you go to wp-login.php. When you hit the POST button, that cookie is set and Wordpress is happy.
In our case, since we use a modal window, that cookie is not created before the POST (it's created during), so Wordpress thinks cookies are disabled.
The solution, found at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-error-when-logging-in is to set that test cookie on every page, since we can log in from any of them.Jean-Guilhem Rouel, 10 Feb 2014, 10:29:06
