Invalid Security Token Error in Joomla 4.4.5

[Zestminds_1]

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with my Joomla 4.4.5 site where I encounter an "invalid security token" error. Here are the details of the problem and what I have tried so far:

Issue Description:

Error Message: "The most recent request was denied because it contained an invalid security token. Please refresh the page and try again."
When: The error appears when trying to perform certain actions in the admin panel, such as saving configurations or updating components.
Environment:

Joomla Version: 4.4.8
PHP Version:8.2.22

Steps Taken:

Database Maintenance:

I have run the database repair tool (System > Global Configuration > Maintenance > Database > Fix). No issues were found.
Cache Clearing:

Cleared Joomla cache (System > Clear Cache) and browser cache.
Updates:

Checked for Joomla updates and ensured all components and extensions are up-to-date.
Extensions Check:

Disabled recently installed/updated extensions to see if they were causing the issue.
Session and Configuration:

Verified session handling settings and Joomla configuration.
Additional Information:

Site URL: https://www.dintek.net/index.php/cb-login
Error Logs: The most recent request was denied because it had an invalid security token. Please go back or refresh the page and try again.

Is there any other troubleshooting step I should try?
Could this be related to specific configurations or extensions?
Are there any known issues or patches for this version of Joomla?

Please guide me to solve this

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Obvious question....but ...did you do as the error message suggests - "refresh the page and try again"?
This topic has been raised many a time, I don't think the solution has changed much.

Try this : viewtopic.php?t=946068. It's from a few years ago but I believe stilli applicable to Joomla 4.

A second resource essentially stating the same suggestions as in the forum post above:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/269 ... omla-login

Also in your joomla admin (when you get a successful login) check the session handler method. Choose "file system" over "database" (whatever the option is besides database). OR empty the session table directly in the database that will force logouts of any logged in users. That db table can get very large very quickly with a lot of users.

Hello ,

I’ve tried all of the fixes I could find, but unfortunately, the issue still persists. Here’s a summary of everything I’ve done so far:

Clear Browser Cache:

This seemed to work a couple of times, but the problem always comes back.
Clear Joomla Cache:

Cleared the Joomla cache, but this didn’t resolve the issue.
Clear Sessions Table:

Emptied the _session table in the database, which forced logouts of all users, but the issue still occurs.


Upgraded the server PHP version to the latest recommended for Joomla 4.4.5, but it didn’t help.


I also logged into cPanel and accessed the database using phpMyAdmin, then deleted all user sessions from the _session table. Unfortunately, the error still reappears:
“The most recent request was denied because it had an invalid security token. Please go back or refresh the page and try again.”
Despite following all these steps, I’m still facing the "invalid security token" error. Could there be anything else I might be overlooking? Any other suggestions would be really helpful at this point.
I have attached the issue

This is commonly a caching issue. Can be both server-side and client-side (browser). Use developer tools in browser to inspect cache headers. If you're using "System - Page Cache" plugin, make sure "Use Browser Caching" option is disabled.

The headers look OK but browser could be caching the page anyways. Can you try using the standard (com_users) login form?
