Guys, I know there are umpteen million threads about this on here, and I think I have read all of them. I cannot get wordpress and bbpress to integrate for the life of me!

I have my wordpress blog all setup, and I have bbpress setup and installed as well. I am using wordpress 2.8.4, and bbpress 1.0.2. WordPress is installed at the root (http://www.mysite.com is wordpress) and bbpress is installed at http://www.mysite.com/forums. I know how to create the page linking to the forum, and I have actually already done that.

My problem is that when I go through the bbpress/wordpress integration, when I hit “save settings” in bbpress it logs me out, and my login no longer works. IT IS KILLING ME!

I have tried this 6 times, and I have had another person (with more experience than me) try this twice. We both ended up with the same result.

Is this working and I am somehow missing the fact that it’s working? Why does my bbpress login get wiped out?

I need the most basic of step by step instructions apparently.

Thanks in advance.

Done. Same result.

Could it be due to some .htaccess stuff? I mean cookie trouble.

after you made those changes you have to “reset” your browser. Clear your cache/cookies and yes it can be the htaccess file…

okay, not it. I know you probably check but check again in your admin section both WP and BB, I know I wrote this before but can you check if you use www. in any of the urls.

> can you check if you use www. in any of the urls.

If I remove www in WP – website become unreachable.

If I remove www in BB (from http://www.mnenie.dp.ua to http://mnenie.dp.ua in integration section), login and logout in forum and www becomes independent at all.
