I have a fresh install of wordpress on a secured site. The default is https so cant use http when accessing. I’ve installed bb press on a subdirectory of the main site, hoping to integrate so members of the wordpress site could access the forum and vice versa, but after installing the bb press, I can’t log into admin to do anything in bb press. It doesnt give an error message, it just recycles to the login page. The server tech support guys havent a clue. I’ve seen that bb press works on https but what the heck? any clues? I would pay someone to get this up and integrated as needed.

Where did you see that it works on https? I have no doubt that it can, but I am wondering what you saw.

it installs fine, I just can’t log into it. Is it not supposed to be able to work on https?

Although this is the code for WordPress it might be universal to BB Press as well. Open up your bb-config.php and add this line:

define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);

Did define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true); work?

[@gautamgupta Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

You would need:

define( 'BB_FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true ); //force use of ssl in the admin area

define( 'BB_FORCE_SSL_USER_FORMS', true ); //force use of ssl on user forms like login, registration and profile editing
