Once again @Robert helped here, no matter how busy he is, no matter how vage the issue is.

Always helping, for free (time is NOT free).

Thanks Robert and the rest of the team, you really deserve a lot. wpForo plugin also.

I wish you all the best in business and life.

Also, make sure wpForo Cookies are enabled in Forums > Tools > Privacy & Rules admin page:

I'll be damned

that was it. I had this Disabled (or it was like that when installed/updated, i don't know).

Finally. Thanks again Robert.

Maybe you could find some error logs. PHP can't set cookies if there is an error output in buffer. Maybe you have some error or even line-break in some PHP file. This is really hard to debug.

Robert,

1. UNinstalling wpforo (totally) and install a virgin wpForo works just fine in the very same site. Yesterday it took me hours to do that and restore things back.

2. Other cookies are set ok (firewall cookies and others).

3. There are no other errors or anything.

mcutings will help me today to _maybe_ find something.

@crisw I have tested all browsers, different computers, my cell phone. Same results.

As for your suggestions, all are welcome and thank you.

@Anonymous20 .. just thought I'd respond. You asked for "any suggestions", so I gave the first thing that came to mind, when I saw your website and took a screenshot.

So that's ruled out. How about the Browser that you are using? Have you disabled cookies to be set in your browsers? What about the plugins in your browsers? (Since Plugins in browsers ALSO affects how we view the sites that we visit).

If @Robert has responded with how the wpForo cookies are set, it's just a process of elimination of ruling out what might be causing it.

I'm sure you know what you are testing, but as @anonymous3542 said (second set of eyes), sometimes when we are working on something too hard, and too close, it's also useful to get impartial viewpoints.

Sorry if what I wrote didn't help. Good luck! :-)

I tried your URL in the first page, but I'm getting a 403. Ideally, I need just a normal username and password - not admin) to see what's going on. I can of course subscribe for an account which is going to be more secure.

Yes, i'm doing a restore of everything, after doing several tests. I will update you.

Many thanks.
