Okay, I see what was missed.
1. I had to copy/paste all of the keys and salts from wp-config.php and replace the keys in bb-config.php. (Though the bb-config.php has only keys, you still must copy the KEYS & SALTS from the wp-config.php and add ALL to the bb-config.php.)
2. Then I had to add ‘BB_’ before each key or salt in the bb-config.php file. (Should look like this… ‘BB_AUTH_KEY’ or ‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT’)
This made my logins seamless. If I have anymore info, then I will add it to this topic later.
I did all the other stuff first such as:
a. adding the bbpress integration plugin to my wordpress
b. updating the wordpress integration ‘user rolemaps’ in the bbpress backoffice
c. adding the manual cookie setting [define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );] from the wordpress bbpress integration plugin to the wp-config.php file
Other info to know:
My blog is http://gerlainetalk.com
I put the forum in the same folder and not under a different domain.
http://gerlainetalk.com/forum
My lessons:
I find that having the forum in a different domain, botches things up. Such as http://forum.gerlainetalk.com
http://gerlainetalk.com/forum works much better.

Okay, I told you that I would bring you in more info if I had it. I got it!
If you do not have any salts in your wp-config.php file, then you can create keys and salts at this link:
-WordPress.org secret-key service-
https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/
* You can change these at any point in time to invalidate all existing cookies. This will force all users to have to log in again.
To do a proper integration you will need keys and salts, so generate them all at this proper link.
Remember to add a ‘BB_’ prefix to each key and salt in the bb-config.php.(Example: ‘BB_AUTH_KEY’ or ‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT’)
Miscellaneous info:
If you only need keys, then use this link:
https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/
If you only need keys for bbpress then use this link:
https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/bbpress/
For bbpress keys and salts use this link:
https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/bbpress/salt
