I posted about this issue that I had a couple of weeks ago without any resolution. So I thought I would start at the beginning. I installed a fresh copy of WordPress (3.8.1) with the default themes on a newly created directory. Second I installed BBpress (2.5.3) and kept all the default settings. Upon completion I added the BBpress login widget and tested the login function. When I do this it hangs up on /wp-login.php page with nothing but a single period on the page.

Is anyone else having this same issue? I need help!!!!

try typing your url followed by wp-login.php into the address bar

eg

http://www.mysite.com/wp-login.php

and then login and then logout

Then try the widget again

I have had similar issues on occasions, and to me it seems like wp-login gets itself confused as to whether you’re logged in or not. This seems to reset it.

Come back if that doesn’t work
