Integrated WP Installation - Can't Login

    • Posted 3 years ago #

    Hi there.
    I just installed bbPress 0.9.0.2 and integrated it with my WP 2.6.2.
    I also added WordPress functions via require_once in bb-config.php so I can utilize my blog's header and footer for the forum.
    Now everything looks the way I want it, but I just can't login to a bbPress account anymore (direct login via bbPress interface). When I enter wrong login data, it takes me to the failed login screen as expected. When I enter the right login data it will just return me to a blank login form.

    Is this the reason why bbPress 0.9.0.2 shouldn't be intergrated with WordPress 2.6 and I need to try bbPress 1.0 Alpha instead?
    Or should I still be able to login via the bbPress interface, just not synchronized via WP, and the problem is located elsewhere?

    Thanks a bunch
    Lars

    Yes. bbPress 0.9.0.2 and WordPress 2.6.* are not cookie-compatible.

    Alright, I'll give it a try then. Thanks chris.

    Ok I just clean installed the Alpha, even deleted the old Database entries.

    As long as I don't add the integration "require_once('../wp-blog-header.php');" to my bb-config.php, everything works just fine.

    Once I do, I cant log in to bbP with my admin account, but instead it will log me in on my blog.
    New Registration doesn't work either.

    Any ideas?

    Narrowing down on the problem, I'm now able to log in even with the integration code added (by using the exact same setting for WordPress address and Blog address as used in General Settings), however the account is extremely limited in use.

    It's basically the same issue described by user doyle640 here (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101/page/3), the Admin screen is unaccessable (blank page) as well as the Profile edit options, even the form to add a new topic is completely missing.
    This is true for the Admin account as well as any user account.
    Once the line "require_once('../wp-blog-header.php');" is deleted from bb-config.php, everything is accessable as usual.

    The login synchronization now works both ways as it should though.
