   Hi,

   I have my blog www.bootstrappingblog.com and just started setting up a community for it here: http://community.bootstrappingblog.com

   My problem is this, when I'm logged in as an admin in the community (bbpress), I go to login to the wp-admin and it keeps refreshing the login page and saying to re login again.

   I looked for a fix or another post like this but couldn't find it. Any help is appreciated.

   Thank you,
   Mike

   WP/bbPress session integration only works if the installs are on the same domain/subdomain. This is limitation of cookies, and a good thing. Not a wp/bb issue.

   From the docs:

   Cookies

   Integrating cookies allows your users to log in to either your WordPress blog or your bbPress forums and be effectively logged in to both. This feature requires your WordPress and bbPress installations to exist in the same domain name, or at least in sub-domains of the same domain name.

   Take a look at:

   ok. so I can't have the community as http://www.community.bootstrappingblog.com when the wordpress install is at www.bootstrappingblog.com ?

   Also, I'm not sure, but would that be what causes it to not let me even login to my wordpress account if I'm already logged into my community account?

   You can have that configuration of domains.

   You need to declare the cookie domain in each to be ".bootstrappingblog.com" (note the leading dot).
