Wordpress Multisite - ERROR: Cookies are blocked

Question

Hi,  
  
I was recently created a Amazon Lightsail - Wordpress Multisite but after add a new Site and assign a custom domain when i try to log in in the admin from the new site with the custom domain i receive the error :   
  
**"ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies"**  
  
**Main Site url**: xxxxxx.xip.io (**can access to admin panel**)  
**Site X with sudomain url**: newsite.xxxxxx.xip.io (**can access to admin panel**)  
  
**Site X with custom domain url**: newsite.com (**can't access to admin panel**)

I'm not trying to set the custom domain to the main site i'm trying to set the custom domain to new site in the multisite.

The tutorials of i can found are only for wordpress single site :/

Any suggestion?

Regards,  
Lucas

Answer

Finally after DAYS, literally, I was able to get this resolved on the AWS Lightsail Bitnami Multisite Wordpress by performing the following:  
  
Edit /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-config.php  
  
Add the following:  
  
define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/');  
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');  
define('COOKIEPATH', '');  
define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '');

Thank you, Lucas. That's exactly what I needed, after trying a few other combinations.   
  
It's worth noting that it didn't fix the login on each site as soon as I entered the credentials, but then clicking refresh let me in and it worked great from then on.

Hi Maxwell,  
  
I guess i followed all the steps of this tutorial .  
  
I set a custom domain for the Main Site (works fine, site and dashboard)  
And a custom domain for a New Site / other site (same error with Cookies are blocked when i'm try to log in to the dashboard)  
  
I tested with 3 differents browsers.  
  
I don't know what is goin on i find too much posts with this problem with no clear solutions :(

Thank you! This was incredibly helpful, did you have any other issues?

Answer

Hello,  
  
I would follow this Bitnami doc to ensure you have properly assigned the new custom domain: https://docs.bitnami.com/general/apps/wordpress-multisite/configuration/configure-wordpress-multisite/  
  
Alternatively, I've seen several Bitnami posts that claim there's a known issue in WordPress Multisite when using and IP and Google Chrome as a browser. It may be worth trying to access the admin panel with another browser, such as Firefox.  
  
I hope this helps. Please reach out if you continue to have problems.  
  
Thank you for using Amazon Lightsail!
