All these years I’ve been\u00a0checking the “Remember Me” checkbox when logging in every once in a while in hopes that\u00a0WordPress will one day actually remember me. \u00a0I don’t think it ever did, but I didn’t really mind or notice much because I just\u00a0thought it had something to do with my browser settings or I just\u00a0didn’t\u00a0come back soon enough. \u00a0Well enough is enough. \u00a0I finally had a project where I needed the Remember me functionality to work.<\/p>\n
I made WordPress act as a web app on Apple devices by adding meta tags. \u00a0But the problem was that every time the user went to the Home screen (exited the app) they would have to log back in when re-opening the app.<\/p>\n
Silly WordPress. \u00a0From\u00a0as far back as about 5 years ago, (version 2.6.1), people have been having problems with WordPress not remembering them. \u00a0The solution is simple but\u00a0is a big quirk if you ask me. \u00a0Simply drop the last slash (“\/”) from the url you visit before logging in. \u00a0People have reported Remember Me working on urls like “mydomain.com\/wp-admin” but not “mydomain.com\/wp-admin\/”. \u00a0Turns out it also works on other URLs like “mydomain.com\/mypasswordprotectedpage” but \u00a0does not work on “mydomain.com\/mypasswordprotectedpage\/”. \u00a0Give it a try.<\/p>\n
