Fixing “Remember Me” in WebLogin for Evolution CMS

A practical checklist for Evolution CMS login forms where “remember me” appears in the UI but does not actually keep the user signed in.

If a WebLogin form shows a “remember me” checkbox but users still get logged out on the next visit, the issue is usually not the checkbox itself. The real cause tends to be session lifetime, cookie settings, HTTPS mismatches, or a custom login flow that never stores the persistent cookie correctly.

What to verify

  • That the form actually sends the remember-me value.
  • That the login snippet or plugin respects that value.
  • That cookies are written for the correct domain and protocol.
  • That server-side session cleanup is not overriding the remembered state.

Typical failure pattern

Many Evo sites customize login templates heavily and assume persistence happens automatically. In practice, one missing parameter, domain mismatch, or HTTPS inconsistency is enough to make the remembered login disappear between requests.

Best approach

Test the login flow with browser cookies open, confirm which cookie is written, and compare its lifetime to your expected behavior. In most cases the fix comes from aligning session and cookie settings, not from changing the template markup alone.
