Disable "Use subdomain independent cookie" [Unable to login]

[[chrisB]]

I've made a mistake by enabling "Use subdomain independent cookie", now I can't sign in. I've looked in the settings.php and via the database, but I am unable to locate a way to disable it. Probably because I'm looking in the wrong place. 🤦🏻�♂️

Can anyone explain how I can disable it please?

Via MYSQL

Search your SMF database [be careful!!]

Find the setting, when I installed SMF I left the prefix to the default.


Click 'Browse', then set the number of rows to 500 [I do this to view all the rows in the settings].


At the very end, 'globalCookies' to 0 by clicking edit.

Like wise, edit 'globalCookiesDomain' and remove any text you may have input.

Hopefully, this saves someone some hassle. 👍🏻
