phpinfo() tells me that PHP is Version 5.2.13

Now, pretend I am crazy and tripple check the settings at the top

LOGGED_IN_KEY

LOGGED_IN_SALT

The two keys and salts are the same. Keys I get from wp-config.php and salts from wp-admin/options.php.

take a REALLY good look at the cookie data – it changes between bbPress and WP but really only two parts should change, the expire date and the hash. So between the last | in the data

How the hash forms is still not quite clear to me, but obviously that’s where the issue lies. I notice that it’s different every time I log in (no matter from which side). I if log in/out of WP 10 times I get 10 different hashes. But maybe that’s the normal way.

Other things to note:

* I am using year long cookies plugin on the bbPress side

* bbPress has a trailing slash in these settings:

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://dev.example.net/';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://dev.example.net/';

whereas WP has them without the slash:

define('WP_HOME', 'http://dev.example.net');

define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://dev.example.net');

* as you can see I am doing this on a dev subdomain and not on the live site. Even though I did test it on the live site(with the main domain) too and the result was the same

* the lines you mentioned in the plugin did not match: I had that code on lines 70 and 83

* define('AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 2 ); should be added at the top of _freshly-baked-cookies.php, right? I did not exist there in the plugin download, so I added it before starting the tests

Thanks a lot for helping out
