Well they weren't. The cookies created by bbpress added the hash to the end of the cookie name. Both Safari and Camino didn't reveal this, but Flock did. I was using these other browsers as a testing platform because I needed to clear cookies in between each test. I added: <pre><code>$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser'; $bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';</code></pre> To my bbpress config to solve the problem. (which I found on one of the links you sent me) I actually like the idea of the cookie name including the hash. Isn't this more secure? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this make it near impossible for another site to read that cookie? Thanks for your help Trent!

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! 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).. Trent tseven on "Cookie Hell: WPMU + BBPress = bloodshot eye balls" 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/ Thanks for the heads up Trent. Unfortunately those mostly focus integration of user databases etc. Which I have already done. Perhaps I'll take a look at how each application is looking for the cookies. There might be a clue in there. It seems most people have the forum in a sub directory of wp,.. which makes things much easier. But what I don't understand is,.. the cookies are IDENTICAL... why doesn't it work?

Integrating with normal WP is much easier. Trent tseven on "Cookie Hell: WPMU + BBPress = bloodshot eye balls" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-hell-wpmu-bbpress-bloodshot-eye-balls#post-5120 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 08:52:29 +0000 tseven 5120@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Ok... 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. My site is setup like this: domain.com/blog domain.com/forum This is what I have thus far: In my bbpress config.php <pre><code>$bb->cookiedomain = '.domain.com'; $bb->cookiepath = '/'; $bb->sitecookiepath = '/';</code></pre> In my wpmu wp-settings.php around line 245 <pre><code>if ( !defined('COOKIEPATH') ) define('COOKIEPATH', '/' ); if ( !defined('SITECOOKIEPATH') ) define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/' ); if ( !defined('COOKIE_DOMAIN') ) //define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.' . $current_site->domain); define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.domain.com');</code></pre> Of course I replaced "domain.com" with my actual domain. The result is I get a total of 4 cookies when I login into both sites. Both sets are identical except expiration. (I even edited the expiration date with no avail, apparently bbpress is a full year and day off) the cookie properties look like this: <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> The only difference is the expiration date. As you can see bbpress has an issue with the date. 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. I'm going to go get some sleep. Perhaps I'll be able to figure it out from a fresh approach. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If that is not the case, you'll need the more fine-grained control mentioned in the <a href="http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#cookie">Cookie integration with WordPress Documentation</a> Installation problem: on Installation, bbPress looks to see if there are any keymasters in the User Tables already. You'll need to go to your usermeta table and delete the entry: meta_key = $bb_table_prefix . 'capabilities' (example: 'bb_capablities') meta_value = a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;} This part of the installation will have to change in the next version for several reasons. The difficulties you're seeing is one of them. garymill on "Can't Login!" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-login#post-183 Tue, 17 Oct 2006 16:48:31 +0000 garymill 183@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I am dropping them.

I do have the right table prefix. What I see as the issue is that the first time I installed, it let me select users from a list. Each time I have done a reinstall, it does not, it keeps the same each time. Is something not being done by me in the reinstall to cause that.

Might seem a silly question but does your wp dtabase definitely have the 'wp_' prefix? Also there's a chance that there's a error somewhere else in the config file. I had to reinstall just to be certain after I corrected my config. I knew immediately everything was fine becasue during the setup I asked presented with a drop-down list of users to choose from. Previously (When I had the config wrong) I didn't. hth Phillip garymill on "Can't Login!" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-login#post-160 Mon, 16 Oct 2006 22:07:52 +0000 garymill 160@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I need a bit of help still with the login issue My config for this section // The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress. // If you're not, just leave the rest as it is. $bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; // 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix. $bb->wp_home = 'http://www.energizedeating.com/blog'; // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash $bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://www.energizedeating.com/blog'; // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash // Use the following line *only* if you will be loading WordPress everytime you load bbPress. //define('WP_BB', true); /* Stop editing */ define('BBPATH', dirname(__FILE__) .

Your problem might be completely different but maybe you made the same mistake as I did? As a side note it seemed obvious to me that if it wasn't FALSE then I should set it to TRUE, but maybe not everybody agrees. hth
