I created a custom plugin for login and registration forms. When I log in for a new user, 4 cookies are set : PHPSESSID, wordpress_test_cookie, wordpress_logged_in_, and 2 wordpress_sec_ .

But I don't have wp-settings- and wp-settings-time-. However my admin account has these cookies.

I can't find a wordpress documentation that explain which function set these cookies. It is just said :

Without plugins installed, WordPress sets the following cookies:

  • wordpress_[hash]
  • wordpress_logged_in_[hash]
  • wordpress_test_cookie
  • wp-settings-{time}-[UID]

I don't use "setcookie" at the moment .

The functions I use to allow him to access his account :

wp_clear_auth_cookie();
wp_set_current_user($info->ID, $username);  
wp_set_auth_cookie( $info->ID, true, is_ssl() );

    Searching for wp-settings-time- I found the following occurences: wp-includes/js/utils.min.js line 2, wp-includes/js/utils.js line 188, wp-includes/pluggable.php line 1029, wp-includes/option.php lines 1039 & 1052. Have you checked these files to see when the code is triggered?

    Is there a problem you are trying to solve that has lead you to this that you believe is caused by the lack of these 2 cookies?
