Let's see if it holds together.

Upgraded WordPress to 5.8. A note to myself - upgrading WordPress causes memcached clean-up, what breaks MyBB caching. So, after each WP upgrade, the "smilies" and "attachments" MyBB caches must be rebuilt.

I will begin MyBB plugin updates tonight. If the forum becomes unavailable (or is in the maintenance mode), follow me on twitter: https://twitter.com/like_ra

Ok, for some reason, when I try to click on a picture or a link, I get this message...

The requested content can not be loaded.
Please try again later.

Also, when I try to post a reply, that little wheel just keeps spinning.
To see my post, I have to reload the page.

Ra?? What are you dinking with now ?

Thanks for letting me know @Tinker D ! WordPress broke the memcache again. I've just cleaned it up, so everything should be working now.

Two persons reported login issues - the password is correct, but the page just refreshes in the "logout state".

So far we were not able to identify what/where the problem is. I suspect that it's related to cookies - at least session cookies must be enabled. If you experience this issue, please try to do the following:

o- make sure you use https:// and not http://
o- do not run the site in the private windows
o- allow cookies for the site
o- disable enhanced tracking protection for the site.
o- send me an email (likera.com@gmail.com)

I tweaked one setting in the forum, which might work around the issue.

Yay, I was finally able to login. Kind of...
I can enter the forum on mobile only. For some reason I can't do it on desktop.
I've tried to login from different web browsers without any luck, so that means my PC is the problem.

The only solution that worked was the last one, so when in trouble contact Like Ra.
