Installation & Configuration

How can I make cookies work for both www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com?

Scenario #1:
"I'm getting weird behaviour depending on if I use the "www" or not with Nucleus. I left my cookie domain empty and just the \ in the cookie path, but if I login to my domain without the www, then go to a link with that in it, to Nucleus it appears I'm not logged in. (Same if I log into it with the www and go to a link without it.)"

Scenario #2:
"I've set up several blogs on the same Nucleus installations to operate on different subdomains but I've found the <%edit%> tag only works for the main blog of my website. It does not appear for the other blogs wehre I have set them to run under another subdomain."

Solution:
Change the cookie setting in your Global Settings.

Method:
In your Admin area, go to Global Settings and set the cookie domain to:

.mydomain.com

Make sure there is a dot before "mydomain.com". Next, log out of Nucleus, delete any and all cookies containing "mydomain.com" and restart your browser.
