  Why won’t WordPress keep me signed in? I have to sign in to my blog every time I go to it, and I have to sign in when I comment on other WP blogs.

  Cookies has always been enabled. Shows I have four WP cookies stored.

  Ok, let’s try something:

  1. Log in to http://wordpress.com/ and make sure you choose the Remember Me box.

  2. Log in to http://www.yahoo.com/ and choose their corresponding remember box.

  3. Quit your browser and re-open it.

  Are you still logged in to both http://wordpress.com/ and http://www.yahoo.com/ ?

  I’m logged into Yahoo, but not WordPress.

  But when I click onto WordPress to log back in, it says, “Welcome Back!” So I’m logged into WordPress, but it won’t let me on my blog unless I go to the WP site.

  Ok, that makes sense. :)

  Heehee! I’m glad it makes sense to someone! According to my settings, “3rd party cookies” is enabled. I have total of 48 WP cookies, including 4 for my blog. My blog is the only thing I’m having trouble with—well, that and making comments on other WP blogs without having to sign in every time.

  It’s an annoyance, but I guess I can put up with it.

  Huh, that’s usually the cause of the problem you described. Let’s try a few more things.

  First, please make sure that your browser is up to date by visiting http://whatbrowser.org/

  If it is not, please try updating your browser or switching to a different browser.

  If it is, please do these four things:

  1. Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies: http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/

  2. Make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled: http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/

  3. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.

  4. Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  Please let us know how each step goes for you, and which browser (and version of) you’re using if you’re still having trouble.

  I’m on Chrome and it’s up to date. So far, it seems like clearing the cache and cookies has worked.

  Tentatively optimistic.

  Thanks.
