Hi all,

I am trying to integrate BBPress with a few WordPress installs that all share the same user table database.

All is working fine except for adding:

define('COOKIEHASH', md5('my key here'));

in the bb-config.php file, no matter what I add here, the cookiehash is never changed using BBPress 1.0.2, is this a bug have I missed something?

install that in WP and it will tell you what it is.

I know what my cookiehash is & am including it in the wp-config.php files, it’s just bbPress that doesn’t seem to set a cookie using the define(‘COOKIEHASH’, md5(‘my key here’));, I have also tried using define(‘BB_COOKIEHASH’, md5(‘my key here’)); but still no joy.

Oops sorry, for integration you don’t need the cookie hash.

I wish I didn’t, but I do…bbPress is setting a cookiehash & I need to change it, I thought this would be possible by using

define('BB_COOKIEHASH', md5('my key here'));

or

define('COOKIEHASH', md5('my key here'));

in my bb-config.php, but whatever I use as ‘my key here’ makes no difference to the cookies created by bbPress, any other ideas?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integration-woes#post-38595 uses $cookiehash = md5($baseurl);

Thanks for the help, I managed to fix the issue by using

define('BB_HASH', md5('my key here'));

in bb-config.php
