bbPress.org

I’m not sure it fixed everything. Or at least not with root cookies.

If I log in via bbpress I’m logged into bbPress AND WordPress Admin but NOT WordPress user. If I try, subsequently, to login as WordPress user, it acts like I’m logged in, but if I go back to a regular page, it doesn’t work. If I then logout on bbPress, I can log in to WordPress. This happens in reverse as well. I can’t be logged into BOTH at once.

The ‘fix’ to that was to add this to wp-config.php

// Cookies

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.domain.net');

define('COOKIEPATH', '/' );

Which has the even WEIRDER side effect of logging me out between apps. Log in to bbPress, fine. Log in to WordPress, logged OUT of bbPress. Ad nasuem.

The ‘fix’ to that is to disconnect

$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in';

Which is sooo wrong.

FWIW:

• WordPress 2.7 is installed in /blog and I’m using Giving WordPress its Own Directory While Leaving the WordPress Index File in the Root Directory
• bbPress 1.0alpha4 is installed in /forums
• I have shallow integration, where just cookies are being shared
• I have the new bbPress Integration plugin turned off (though I tested it on and off)
