## Introducing Prettier for docs
Prettier [was originally disabled for our docs as it didn't support MDX
2.0](1fa636417f),
outputting invalid MDX syntax.
This has since been fixed - prettier now supports MDX 2.0.
## Reducing print width
This also reduces the print width for the docs folder from 100 to 70.
Our docs code field are very narrow - this should help make code more
readable.

## Common Issues
|
|
|
|
### "Unauthorized, you must be logged in to make this request" when attempting to log in
|
|
|
|
This means that your auth cookie is not being set or accepted correctly upon logging in. To resolve check the following settings in your Payload Config:
|
|
|
|
- CORS - If you are using the '\*', try to explicitly only allow certain domains instead including the one you have specified.
|
|
- CSRF - Do you have this set? if so, make sure your domain is whitelisted within the csrf domains. If not, probably not the issue, but probably can't hurt to whitelist it anyway.
|
|
- Cookie settings. If these are completely undefined, then that's fine. but if you have cookie domain set, or anything similar, make sure you don't have the domain misconfigured
|
|
|
|
This error likely means that the auth cookie that Payload sets after logging in successfully is being rejected because of misconfiguration.
|
|
|
|
To further investigate the issue:
|
|
|
|
- Go to the login screen. Open your inspector. Go to the Network tab.
|
|
- Log in and then find the login request that should appear in your network panel. Click the login request.
|
|
- The login request should have a Set-Cookie header on the response, and the cookie should be getting set successfully. If it is not, most browsers generally have a little yellow ⚠️ symbol that you can hover over to see why the cookie was rejected.
