title: Wordpress login - Already logged in?
body: <p>I recently upgraded to Wordpress 5.3 with PHP version 7.2.24.  After a couple hours Wordpress appears to log me out (permission based pages and widgets are not displayed). When I select to login it presents the normal Wordpress login page where I enter my username and password. When I click login the site redirects me to a page"
  <a href="https://example.com/login-2/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fwp-admin%2Findex.php&amp;action=confirm_admin_email" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://example.com/login-2/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fwp-admin%2Findex.php&amp;action=confirm_admin_email</a></p>
  
  <p>This page indicates that I am already logged in.</p>
  
  <p>If while logged in (not waiting for the session to expire) I log out and try to login the same thing happens, it redirects me and says I'm already logged in.</p>
  
  <p>After the redirect I am logged in, the issue is it is confusing users and one of the plugins we use shows users logged and until the plugin refreshes (with AJAX) it shows that I am logged in multiple times. </p>
  
  <p>This happens to all users. </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I have cleared my cookies.</li>
  <li>I have checked functions.php in my parent and child themes for
  anything related to cookie expiration.</li>
  <li>I have looked for a plugin related to persistent logins.</li>
  <li>I and checked and recreated my .htaccess</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Anyone have any ideas?</p>
