Title: Upgraded to 2.1.4 and get "Session verification failed" error
Post by: aegersz on June 27, 2023, 12:17:43 PM
I just upgraded my 2.0.19 to 2.1.4 and get this error:

Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again.

when I try to login as anybody from my old forum.

Thoughts ?

I turned caching off and set Cookie name to SMFCookie54.

It fixed my problem but can I still use caching ? if so, what do i set it to ?

I went into the Cache section and set it to the defaults.

All OK now.

Glad you've got it sorted...  for reference

1- SMF 2.1.x changes the cookies....   so you need to expire all sessions, change the cookie name and force all users to log in regardless of their "forever" setting
2- you can not use 2.0.x themes with 2.1.x

Thanks. The two users I tried to logon were logged on in the 2.0 system that I cloned - so that makes sense.
