Besides those, the error could be caused by a faulty WordPress plugin or by WordPress URLs that haven\u2019t been properly updated. In this article, we will explain how you can troubleshoot this error, starting from the methods used for the more likely causes. As a safety precaution, you should <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/how-to-manually-backup-wordpress-website\/\">make a backup of your website<\/a> beforehand. Once you\u2019ve done that, you can proceed to the steps below.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\"><a id=\"clear-browser-cookies\"><\/a>Clear browser cookies<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]One of the most common reasons why WordPress keeps logging you out is because you\u2019re trying to access the site with an expired cookie saved in your browser. As a result, your most recent browser session can\u2019t be authenticated. And this results in the <em>WordPress keeps logging me out<\/em> issue. Therefore, the easiest way of solving it is to clear the cookies within the browser you\u2019re using.

More precisely, the outdated versions of your pages stored in the WordPress cache can lead to you getting logged out. To test if this is the case for you, you will need to clear the WordPress cache. Depending on the website, this could include clearing various types of cache, including plugin, server, and CDN cache. Let\u2019s take a look at how to clear all three.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;22px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><strong>Clearing plugin cache<\/strong><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Depending on which caching plugin you use, you will have an option, or a set of options, that enable you to clear the plugin cache. You should examine your caching plugin\u2019s options to find the one(s) you need. If you\u2019d like to learn more about this topic, you can check out our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/how-to-clear-wordpress-cache#clearing-wp-cache-using-plugin\">clearing the plugin cache<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]We will use the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/w3-total-cache\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">W3 Total Cache<\/a> plugin as an example to show you how to clear the plugin cache. Its options are shown both in the backend and in the frontend of a WordPress website. We will cover the explanation using the options in the backend. So, to start, <strong>log in to the WordPress admin dashboard. Hover over the <em>Performance<\/em> option<\/strong> located in the admin bar, and <strong>click on the <em>Purge All Caches<\/em> option<\/strong> from the submenu.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;]<div class=\"qodef-single-image-holder   qodef-has-border \">\n    <div class=\"qodef-si-inner\" >\n                                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"969\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Purge-Cache.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Purge Cache\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Purge-Cache.jpg 969w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Purge-Cache-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Purge-Cache-768x411.jpg 768w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Purge-Cache-620x331.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 969px) 100vw, 969px\" \/>                        <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;38px&#8221;][vc_column_text]This will clear the plugin caches and all you have left to do is<strong> check the status of the error.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;22px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><strong>Clearing CDN cache<\/strong><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Although very rarely, CDN caching issues can happen and cause the <em>WordPress keeps logging me out<\/em> issue.

This is provided that the server cache is enabled on your server. To clear it, <strong>you will need to contact your hosting provider and ask them to remove any server caching<\/strong>. Once they\u2019ve done that, you should check on the status of the issue once again.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;72px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"qodef-h5\"><a id=\"checking-your-wordpress-site-address\"><\/a>Checking your WordPress Site address<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Another reason why WordPress might keep logging you out is a mismatch between your WordPress site address and the URL stored in the login session cookies. This often happens when you forget to update the website URLs within WP-Admin. This can happen after changing the URL, whether because of a domain name change or simply to add an SSL certificate. If this is the case with you, you need to update both website URLs to their correct values to solve this issue.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]To start, <strong>log in to your WordPress website<\/strong> and <strong>navigate to the Settings &gt; General section<\/strong> within your admin dashboard. Then <strong>find the WordPress Address and Site Address options<\/strong>. The WordPress Address represents the locations of your WordPress files, whereas the Site Address represents the address visitors need to type to access your website.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]With that in mind, <strong>update the two URLs so that they match their currently appropriate values<\/strong>. For example, if they lack a prefix, make sure to add it. Similarly, if they have a prefix that shouldn\u2019t be there, make sure to remove it. Both suggestions could relate to adding or removing the \u201cwww\u201d part or making sure that the URLs are correct after adding the HTTPS protocol to your website. After you add the correct URLs, <strong>click on the <em>Save Changes<\/em> button<\/strong> at the bottom to update the options.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;]<div class=\"qodef-single-image-holder   qodef-has-border \">\n    <div class=\"qodef-si-inner\" >\n                                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"969\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/WordPress-URL.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"WordPress URL\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/WordPress-URL.jpg 969w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/WordPress-URL-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/WordPress-URL-768x411.jpg 768w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/WordPress-URL-620x331.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 969px) 100vw, 969px\" \/>                        <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;38px&#8221;][vc_column_text]After that, <strong>you should check if the logging out issue got resolved<\/strong>. If it didn\u2019t get resolved or if you haven\u2019t been able to log in for long enough to perform the actions, you should try an alternative way of changing the WordPress URLs.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Some of the solutions, in this case, could include editing the wp-config.php file or the functions.php file of your theme <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/how-to-use-ftp\/\">using FTP<\/a>. You can check out this article to see the different <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/how-to-change-wordpress-url\/\">ways of changing WordPress URLs<\/a>.

This is particularly likely if that plugin performs login authentication using cookies. To check if that is the case on your end, you will need to pinpoint the faulty plugin first and then disable it.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]First, you will need to <strong>manually deactivate all your plugins via FTP. This is done by renaming the plugins folder as this will both deactivate the plugins and make them inaccessible<\/strong>. Therefore, if the error was caused by a faulty plugin, it will be gone after you deactivate the plugins.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Once you\u2019ve done that, you will be able to<strong> log in to your WordPress website and perform the second part of this troubleshooting method\u2014pinpointing the exact plugin that caused the issue<\/strong>. To be able to do that, you will need to <strong>restore the plugin folder\u2019s original name, i.e. <em>plugins<\/em>. This will make the plugins accessible via the admin dashboard without reactivating them.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]For the last step in this method, you will need to <strong>navigate to Plugins &gt; Installed Plugins. Then, using the admin dashboard, re-activate your plugins one at a time to discover the culprit.<\/strong> You\u2019ll need to be patient for this part and reactivate the plugins one-by-one <strong>while clearing the browser cache after each plugin is reactivated. If the issue reappears, the plugin that you reactivated last is your culprit.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]If this seems confusing, don\u2019t worry\u2014the process of examining plugins manually is a common troubleshooting step for a wide range of WordPress-related issues.

And that is to increase the expiration period for the authentication cookie. Doing this will prolong the time a user is kept logged in after enabling the<em> Remember me<\/em> option. However, you should be aware that this poses a security risk for any live website. As such, if you plan on increasing the cookie expiration time for live websites, we advise tightening the security of that website as well.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]To increase the expiration time for the authentication cookie, you will need to add the following code to either the functions.php file of your child theme (using FTP) or a site-specific plugin. You can see the code below.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">function qode_change_auth_cookie_expiration_period( $expiration_period ) {\r\n$expiration_period = MONTH_IN_SECONDS; \/\/ 1 month in seconds\r\n\r\nreturn $expiration_period;\r\n}\r\nadd_filter( 'auth_cookie_expiration', 'qode_change_auth_cookie_expiration_period' );<\/pre>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]This code is very simple; it sets the expiration period of the authentication cookie to one month using the MONTH_IN_SECONDS <a href=\"https:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Easier_Expression_of_Time_Constants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">time constant<\/a>. This is done by hooking onto the <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.wordpress.org\/reference\/hooks\/auth_cookie_expiration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">auth_cookie_expiration()<\/a> filter hook using a simple function we made called <strong>qode_change_auth_cookie_expiration_period().<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Other time constants you could use include DAY_IN_SECONDS, WEEK_IN_SECONDS, and YEAR_IN_SECONDS, whose meaning is clear on its own. If you opt to use one of these other time periods, simply replace the MONTH_IN_SECONDS time constant from the code given above with the one you prefer.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;68px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"qodef-h4\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Falling victim to the <em>WordPress keeps logging me out<\/em> issue can be quite frustrating for any WordPress user, especially those in the middle of editing the website.
