Cannot access bb-admin

    I just installed WordPress 3.0.1 in the root for an addon domain for my hosting. I installed bb-press 1.0 in a sub directory called forum. I intergrated with wordpress durring the install, that seems to have worked, bbpress shows me as logged in, but when I click on the admin link it just reloads the bbpress mainpage. When I try to go directly to the bb-admin by typing the path in it does the same.

    Any ideas what would be causing this and how to fix?

    -1 point for me.

    Two threads down there is soemthing about this, while the specifics of their situation diffred they were told to logout then log back in. I tired this and it worked.

    Ok so here’s what I’ve noticed in the past hour or two.

    If I logged in via bbpress the admin link works, if I logged in via wordpress it does not.

    Now I can just logout and login via bbpress to access the admin which is an ok workaround but I want to know why its not working when I login via wordpress.

    I also cannot use moderation functions like sticky a topic, or close a topic if I logged in via WordPress even though I see the links to do those actions. Everything though works fine if I logout and login using bbPress’ login.

    It’s a known issue. I’m not sure why it is or if anyone has resolved it.

    https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-access-the-dashboard

    try bbpress integration plugin on WordPress side. It will tell you to add some lines in your wp-config.php, do so and see if that resolves it.

    I fixed it. I proceeded to do more digging following the link from chrishajer then following more links, followed by a google search. THis is what I eneded up doing.

    I tired so many things idk if it was just one of the things or the combination of both of these that fixed it.

    But first I went to https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/ and got new keys for wordpress, I replaced all the old code in wp-config with the ones this script generated. Next I went to bb-config and copied these keys there, overwriting what was previously specified. I then added “BB_” to the begining of the name of what I was defining.

    Next I added

    define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

    to both wp-config and bb-config.
