Re: 1.0a2 + 2.6x cookies: so close!
All fixed. This post by deadmedic fixed all my issues! It explains why all the ‘worked for me!’ posts seemed like nonsense to me.
The fix:
Change line 673 in bb-settings.php from:
$bb->sitecookiepath = rtrim($bb->sitecookiepath, '/');
to:
$bb->sitecookiepath = '/' . trim($bb->sitecookiepath, '/');
Thank you deadmedic!
