Logs out the second session if I log in under the same account in the WordPress admin panel

WordPress admin sessions are not saved - after logging in I am redirected back to the login page.
As soon as a second user logs in with the same login and password, the first one is kicked out of the session.
The problem is on all servers with Hestia, even on the new one.

Hello, i think this is something from wordpress and not from Hestia… But tell us which template are you using for wordpress site?

I disabled all plugins and installed the default themes. I also checked this on a server without a panel and there are no problems there.

WordPress 6.8
Hestia Control Panel v1.9.3
Ubuntu 22.04 (x86_64)

It seems like the problem is related to the new encryption method in WordPress.
but without the panel everything works fine.

When you are editing the domain with the wordpress in advanced options what template do you select?

is this what you’re talking about?

Web Template**: default
Backend Template**: PHP-8_2
Proxy Template**: default

Try to use Web template: Wordpress and try again

for Web TemplateAPACHE2
there is only
default

Ok, do you have any firewall rules?
Also can you check the session.save_path into php.ini?

You can use the php -i | grep session

and enable the debug.log on wordpress and give a new try to see what the log says.

He has Nginx only setup…

Is there a way to somehow “remove” this behavior? where should i start to dig in? maybe reconfiguring the template will do the job?

Are you installing WordPress through the Hestia App installer? If so, I posted the solution here WordPress concurrent login issue. - #3 by aguilar1181

I know WordPress is implementing bcrypt encryption since 6.8, but I have not seen this behavior unless it is installed using the Hestia app installer.
