Title: “Cookie not enabled” on Http but ok on Https Last modified: September 24, 2016 --- # “Cookie not enabled” on Http but ok on Https * [invespreneur](https://wordpress.org/support/users/invespreneur/) * (@invespreneur) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-not-enabled-on-http-but-ok-on-https/) * Good day all. * My site is an http site with a fresh wordpress 4.6.1 installed today. * my issue is detailed below: * On Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 N-8000 andriod 4.2.1 Mozilla Firefox; * When i try to access my site’s dashboard via [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-not-enabled-on-http-but-ok-on-https/?output_format=md), it returns a cookie not found error on the first try, the redirects to an invalid version on the second and subsequent tries, with a white screen. But once i change the transfer protocol to [https://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-not-enabled-on-http-but-ok-on-https/?output_format=md), it brings up “the site is insecured” message and when i continue, it logs me in immediately to my dashboard. * On my laptop * i can access my wp-admin dashboard with one login try and no error messages are generated. * Now, i am always with my tab and i am trying to develop the site through my tab. * i will be grateful if anyone can help me discover what is causing the cookie not found error as i have ended up deleting two of my blogs because of it with the attendant hardwork and waste.

I want the site to run as an http site. i have been trying to log on through http but it just keeps redirecting me to the following link [http://staging.invespreneur.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fstaging.invespreneur.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1](http://staging.invespreneur.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fstaging.invespreneur.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1) and will bring up a blank screen. * frustration just made me try https and behold, it connected but i dont want to develop the site as https to avoid the issue of mixed content later. * Moderator [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) * (@sterndata) * Volunteer Forum Moderator * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-not-enabled-on-http-but-ok-on-https/#post-8217822) * Don’t use https unless/until you have a proper cert. So this issue is only on your ‘droid device? I seem to recall something about some devices running connections through a VPN. Can you disable that and see if it helps? * Moderator [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) * (@sterndata) * Volunteer Forum Moderator * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-not-enabled-on-http-but-ok-on-https/#post-8217823) * Don’t use https unless/until you have a proper cert.

I have also looked at that possibility and checked that the tab is connecting straight to the Internet through 3g without any vpn. I even un installed all apps that might have that capability. * But the problem is still there. * I tried login on from a smaller android phone running on android 4.4.2 and I was able to log on perfectly. * Moderator [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) * (@sterndata) * Volunteer Forum Moderator * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-not-enabled-on-http-but-ok-on-https/#post-8219051) * Clear your browser’s history and any cookies related to the site. * Thread Starter [invespreneur](https://wordpress.org/support/users/invespreneur/) * (@invespreneur) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-not-enabled-on-http-but-ok-on-https/#post-8219385) * Good evening stern.

I really appreciate. I am about to upgrade the firmware of the Android tab to the same version with the second android that logged me on i.e 4.4.2. I will notify u of my finding. Thanks * Thread Starter [invespreneur](https://wordpress.org/support/users/invespreneur/) * (@invespreneur) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-not-enabled-on-http-but-ok-on-https/#post-8230815) * i have upgraded my android device to kitkat 4.4.2 and the mozilla firefox version to 49.0. still, there is no change. i am suspecting this error is being caused by a plugin that came with wordpress like wordpress total cache. could be wrong but i need help. * somebody, anybody, HELPPPPPPPPP!!!!!
