Alright I figured it out now for my case.
In wp-config.php I had to add both lines
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.domain.com');
define('COOKIEPATH', '/');
as opposed to just
define('COOKIEPATH', '/');
which the WP Plugin suggests to do.
The WP Integration Settings in the bbP Admin section got this part right but not the Plugin Settings in WP.
Anyways it’s working now all the way. Great achievement Sam!
I second thenokiablog’s remark on WP 2.7 + bbIntegration Plugin and bbPress A4.
I don’t receive the failure notice though.
Upgrade from A2 to A3 went smoothly for me.
Login Sync still doesn’t work but it solved a delay issue for me when users hit the post/reply button until the message was actually displayed (almost 15 seconds with A2, now almost instantly).
No probs with Plugin’s either.
Looking good, thank you!
I was looking into this the other day since I know that phpBB has a plugin to do just that, show a downsized clickable Image to prevent users from messing with the layout.
Here’s the Demo: http://phpbbegypt.com/PHPBB/viewtopic.php?t=70
My users are annoying in that aspect. : /
Wonder if this could be translated into bbPress.
An interesting idea. Just read about Facebook Connect and it sounds promising to help solve the registration “deadlock”.
