WordPress 2.9.2 and bbpress cookies integration.
-
Hello.
I read http://www.wpmods.com/integrate-wordpress-bbpress and do all described thing, but had no success with cookies integration.
Then I read forums, check all parameters, but cookies integration didn’t work.
When I have searched for answer – I have tried to change my BB_AUTH_KEY = AUTH_KEY, BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY=SECURE_AUTH_KEY etc. parameters in wp-config.php and bb-config.php on somthing simple (‘d’) — suddenly, cookie integration begin to work.
I did several experiments and found that if keys too long – cookie integration don’t work. Keys with length 32 chars — still work, but keys with length 64 chars don’t work at all.
May be this will helpful for somebody.

Hi jakshi,
I’m surprised you had this problem as I did the integration process several times and never had a problem with this. Not sure if this is something that is caused my a setting on a websites host or something similar. I’ve updated the article with your suggestion though so that others will know to try this solution

Al – I glad that my investigation help somebody
Kevin Muldoon – Thank you, may be it help some people that have trouble with integration. You article about integration very useful and clear. May be difference between my site and site that you setuped – My site has been upgraded from 2.1.x to 2.9.x during using and bbpress was upgraded from 0.9.x to 1.0.x, but you setup new sites.
Yes it may have been a little different if you did the integration with older releases. The best thing to do is to upgrade WordPress to the latest version, then bbPress, and then do the integration. Rather than integrate the scripts and then upgrade them.
Check wp-config.php and bb-config.php closely. May be you forget something to do.
Did you cut to 32 chars BB_AUTH_KEY = AUTH_KEY, BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY=SECURE_AUTH_KEY in wp-config.php and bb-config.php?
I have working cookie integration now.
My wp-config.php (without comments and passwords)
<?php
define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘wpuser’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘StrongPassword’);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ‘utf8_general_ci’);
define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’);
define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’);
define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’);
define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’);
$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;
define (‘WPLANG’, ‘ru_RU’);
if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);
require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);
?>
My bb-config.php (without comments and passwords)
<?php
define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );
define( ‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’ );
define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘wpuser’ );
define( ‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘StrongPassword’ );
define( ‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’ );
define( ‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’ );
define( ‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ‘utf8_general_ci’ );
define( ‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’ );
define( ‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’ );
define( ‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’ );
define( ‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’ );
$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;
define( ‘BB_LANG’, ‘ru_RU’ );
?>
There are a lot mention about problem with cookie integration wordpress 2.9.2 and bbpress 1.0.2 .
So you are one of the many
Not at all.
I agree with “salts were never included in sample config file”, When I do integrations – I get salts values from options.
I and many other people will very happy if developers of bbpress says us what difference between your good working wordpress and bbpress cookie integration, and their wordpress and bbpress cookie integration that don’t work.
But for now – it’s still unresolved issue
Concerning to my issue – I am using php 5.2.13 (I know this exactly, because I’m self hosting my blog on worpdress
)I’ll try to remove ?> in the end of the wp-config.php.
May be it’s significant for cookie inegration.
