bbPress.org

Followed step by step successfully and integrated bbpress with only a few problems, these were the few errors on install:

>>> WordPress “auth” cookie salt not set.

>>>>>> Could not fetch “auth” cookie salt from the WordPress options table.

>>>>>> You will need to manually define the “auth” cookie salt in your database.

>>> WordPress “logged in” cookie salt not set.

>>>>>> Could not fetch “logged in” cookie salt from the WordPress options table.

>>>>>> You will need to manually define the “logged in” cookie salt in your database.

It did however port over my users to bbpress and I can login my admin account on bbpress, but my login doesn’t port over to the wordpress site. I went to bbpress admin –> wordpress integration, and it asks for the following:

This must match the value of the WordPress setting named “auth_salt” in your WordPress site. Look for the option labeled “auth_salt” in this WordPress admin page.

This must match the value of the WordPress setting named “logged_in_salt” in your WordPress site. Look for the option labeled “logged_in_salt” in this WordPress admin page.

The problem is I don’t have or see these values on the WordPress admin page (http://thesourcegaming.com/wp-admin/options.php). I tried pasting the key values for these found in wp-config.php, but it didnt work. Do I have to do the “bbPress Integration” plugin for WordPress first before this step will work? Do I have to make sure the key values in both bb-config.php and wp-config.php files are the same first before it will work?

Please help, I feel like I am on my last leg of finishing this, and a success would mean a lot after so many hours at it and trying.

Thanks!

I may have put too much detail in the post above. Basically, users made on either wordpress/ bbpress port over to each just fine. It’s just that you have to individually logon in BOTH WordPress and BBpress. The login status doesn’t port over. Seems like the last thing I need to fix. The errors and message I put in my previous post still applies, I haven’t done anything more yet. Afraid I might mess up so close to being done.

so if user databases are working fine between the two, is it safe to say the problem resides with the cookies and the login keys. Considering I didn’t see anything in the admin/config.php about them in the php. All these guides say to look there for them, but they simply aren’t there (in 3.1 of WordPress anyways). Has anyone here done the 3.1 install and successfully gotten full integration between the two (only 1 login on either or will work)?

Any recommendation Ashfame? Do you have it currently working with 3.1 wordpress and latest bbpress?

I added the “define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );” line in wp-config.php and now it will log me off admin account if i log off via WordPress only. That’s it though.

no one :[?

the only problem it seems is that i simply dont have “auth_salt” and “logged_in_salt” in my wp-admin/config.php in WordPress. which means I can’t add those values in integration which is why it wont stay logged on across WP/ bbpress. Can anyone explain what to do or why it’s not there?
