After it was installed, I went into the settings and integrated it with my wordpress user database. However, now I cannot log in -- "jen" no longer exists and my "admin" wordpress user doesn't exist either.

You'll have to use those in combination to do a lookup to the database to make sure they both match. I'd advise taking a look through the bbpress source code... it's not terribly difficult to understand.</p> <p>The other thing you could do... you could create a plugin / hack for bbPress to assign a session parameter after a successful login, which you could then check for in your other code. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/getting-user-session-info-on-non-forum-page#post-15782 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 00:43:56 +0000 irr1449 15782@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I don't have the code infront of me right now, but is it just going to be something like</p> <p>$_SESSION['whatever']</p> <p>And then that would give me the userId which I could then query the users table with? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/getting-user-session-info-on-non-forum-page#post-15777 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 20:22:26 +0000 HowToGeek 15777@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I assume this is a non-WP page as well?</p> <p>You can check the bbpress session cookie and then use that to check the user against the database. You'd have to use the same logic that WP or BB uses (the latest bbpress changes this logic). You'll also need to make sure that the cookie domain is set correctly.</p> <p>I've actually had to do this recently myself... it's pretty simple and works well. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/getting-user-session-info-on-non-forum-page#post-15757 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 13:46:07 +0000 irr1449 15757@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I'm using WP/BBP as a site wide CMS.
