That is why I was leading you towards those articles. I am sure being an WPMU user you are fully aware of working with complex issues and I didn't want to try and 'dumb it down' too much. In terms of the cookies issue, I have had plenty of problems moving things around and changing structures to know that the 'Wordpress Integration' under the bbPress Documentation is the best when bbPress is in a directory inside Wordpress, but not always!</p> <p>If you let me know how you have it setup and what you have in your wp-config.php and config.php for cookie and integration stuff, I might be able to assist more. I just know that if you already installed bbPress and it is using bb_users versus wp_users, it might be harder to get the cookies working (at least in my experience)..</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-hell-wpmu-bbpress-bloodshot-eye-balls#post-5144 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 19:58:53 +0000 tseven 5144@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Thanks for the heads up Trent.

Let me start off by saying I'm not your "average" user seeking help. I've spent the last 2-3 hours combing this forum and trying almost every combination of cookie configurations and tweaking.</p> <p>My site is setup like this:<br /> domain.com/blog<br /> domain.com/forum</p> <p>This is what I have thus far:<br /> In my bbpress config.php</p> <pre><code>$bb-&gt;cookiedomain = &#39;.domain.com&#39;; $bb-&gt;cookiepath = &#39;/&#39;; $bb-&gt;sitecookiepath = &#39;/&#39;;</code></pre> <p>In my wpmu wp-settings.php around line 245</p> <pre><code>if ( !defined(&#39;COOKIEPATH&#39;) ) define(&#39;COOKIEPATH&#39;, &#39;/&#39; ); if ( !defined(&#39;SITECOOKIEPATH&#39;) ) define(&#39;SITECOOKIEPATH&#39;, &#39;/&#39; ); if ( !defined(&#39;COOKIE_DOMAIN&#39;) ) //define(&#39;COOKIE_DOMAIN&#39;, &#39;.&#39; . $current_site-&gt;domain); define(&#39;COOKIE_DOMAIN&#39;, &#39;.domain.com&#39;);</code></pre> <p>Of course I replaced "domain.com" with my actual domain.</p> <p>The result is I get a total of 4 cookies when I login into both sites.<br /> Both sets are identical except expiration. (I even edited the expiration date with no avail, apparently bbpress is a full year and day off)</p> <p>the cookie properties look like this:</p> <pre><code>website name path secure expires value bbpress .domain.com wordpresspass / no Mar 03, 2008 long_hash .domain.com wordpressuser / no Mar 03, 2008 test wpmu .domain.com wordpresspass / no Mar 04, 2007 long_hash (same as the other) .domain.com wordpressuser / no Mar 04, 2007 test</code></pre> <p> The only difference is the expiration date. As you can see bbpress has an issue with the date.</p> <p>Perhaps I need sleep, or I don't understand how the cookies are supposed to work. But I'm beat.. I can't battle it anymore tonight.</p> <p>I'm going to go get some sleep. Perhaps I'll be able to figure it out from a fresh approach.</p> <p>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. </p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Steven </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-and-wpmu#post-870 Tue, 31 Oct 2006 16:20:47 +0000 mozey 870@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>i SOMEHOW want to include my bb back end at my wp-admin in a submenue. it should be a matter of using the right include statment in a plugin that creates a new admin submenue.
