Here is the information copied for all who are in an emergency:

A) Question: **Login Problems with Custom Domain **
Hello!

I recently got a custom domain for one of my sites, but am unable to be logged in or edit anything when using it. What I mean by this is:

When using http://lakeofrage.wikidot.com, I can edit, post, and access the admin dashboard.
When using http://thelakeofrage.com, I am not logged in, cannot edit or post, and get the "You're not signed in or you are not an administrator of this Wiki" message.

This is quite frustrating. If any body has any ideas as to what I could to to resolve this, that would be great.

B) The answer:
Found the answer to the problem here on the SCP Wiki, for anybody who is curious.

On February 10th, 2020, the Chromium project¹ announced that they would be enforcing the SameSite cookie change. Instead of simply adding the flag "SameSite" to the cookie, it needs to be set as "SameSite=None" to allow the permissive cross-domain behavior Wikidot relies on.
…
Firefox does not have the underlying code change that causes this issue, and does not plan on implementing it in the near future. Alternatively, switching to it as your main browser for the wiki will allow you to use http://scpwiki.com/.

Note: As I've noticed that many people have asked about and experienced this problem before in the community forum, I'd advise that the link provided above be sent to them in the future.

Thanks again for this lasting problem with Custom domains !
