Hi Laura,
I managed to fix it. It looks like I might not have had anything to do with RevSlider at all. And that it only looked like it. The problem was server side. And for the life of it I don’t know how the server does it. In any case, something can apparently tigger my server to prevent WordPress to drop the wordpress_test_cookie. And that’s missing you get the “blocked” error and no clues why.
It create the weirdest goose chase ever.
Even ran a full files system compare on the working state of the install vs. not working. Same for the DB. And there were no relevant changes. But things started getting really bizarre, when even uploading the backup files and db from the working state of the install didn’t solve the problem.
3 days wasted. And all it was, was a missing cookie.

Fix:
insert this at the top of htaccess. Forces the cookie. Login works. Only possible side effect: after you have logged in for some reason then you have two test cookies in your browser.
