Admin redirects to main page

    • Posted 1 year ago #

    I have installed bbpress on a directory called "Forum" of a subdomain. I am able to get to the main forum page without issue, but when I try to get into the "admin" section it just redirects back to the main page?????

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Any ideas?

    You are not logged as admin or you are trying to access a page that doesn't exists.

    if you can see an admin link, then its a cookie problem.
    Are you integrating with WordPress? You will need the bbPress integration plugin.

    I installed the integration plugin but still have the problem. I'm using the default theme and in the left hand corner I see:

    Welcome, Steve & Beneta | Admin | Log Out

    When I click on Admin it just brings me back to the same page???

    Try a different browser once to see if its not a cookie problem. If the problem persists, then that means there is some problem with your integration. Don't tell me you are not using integration and yet you installed the integration plugin.

    So I tried another Browser and get same problem. I am using integration and now that I can't access admin area I can't check on integration?

    What next?

    Check your usermeta table for correct capabilities.
    wp_usermeta if you are sharing user tables, otherwise bb_usermeta

    Check this http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/8122/killl.png

    The entry for your user ID (most probably 1) should be a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}

    I logged out and tried to go to this Address:

    forums/bb-admin/admin.php

    Got a 404 error.

    Same thing here:

    forums/bb-admin/index.php

    Both pages do exist.

    I logged in and when try to access same addresses as above, It just redirects me again to the same standard page.

    I have the correct settings under usermeta? It's exactly as you list??

    I've just installed WP and as I went through the installation and integration of bbPress I found this same problem. First, cookies are not the problem. The cookies are set. It almost seems like it could be a mod_rewrite problem, but I don't think that's it either. I'll tell you this though, after getting bbPress all set up I installed bbPress integration in WP. Now I can't see anything. Even my wp site does not load. What gives? Does this work or not?

    I've noticed the same occasionally happens with me. I log out and in again (kicking the tyres on the walk around the car) - and Admin once again works for me.

    Also don't know what causes it - but logging out and back in again seems to be less painful than working out the actual cause.

    Tried logging out and back in. No good????

    I had same error. I clean cookie and it solved.

    I ran into this problem, too:

    http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/trouble-with-admin-user-and-getting-started

    The reason I was having it related to our server requiring https and the admin cookie not being set correctly when it is initially established. see link for my workaround.
