I've tried adding that line to my original installation, but it doesn't seem to work. In the first place I guess it's not necessary, because it would be something like this, without any value:</p> <p><code>define( &#39;ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH&#39;, &#39;&#39; );</code></p> <p>Anyways, I'm glad I found (or I think so) where the problem was. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537/page/2#post-1172204 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 12:24:52 +0000 parkstreet 1172204@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>@Ovidiu LOL...only because of trial and error. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537/page/2#post-1172193 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 12:06:19 +0000 Ovidiu 1172193@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>@parkstreet:</p> <p>that code snippet by clarko seems to do the trick even with bbpress 1.0.1 and wpmu 2.8.4</p> <p>THANKS a million. you seem to be THE GUY when it comes to the bbpress WP/WPMU integration :-) </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537/page/2#post-1172146 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 10:26:38 +0000 parkstreet 1172146@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Ooh, if you are using buddypress, then you should definitely take out the login form at the top of bbpress and then use this <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddybar-in-bbpress/">plugin</a>. Yes, it can be frustrating to not be able to log into bbpress and then be logged into Wordpress, but I think it is better if the WPMU/Wordpress install takes over every aspect of the login and registration details. I've even seen other CMS's that allow the CMS to rule over every aspect of the registration and login process when a forum component or plugin is installed. Now granted, BBpress is not a plugin in and of itself, but we are integrating it as if it was. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537/page/2#post-1171860 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 02:51:38 +0000 mjjinvincible 1171860@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Well, the thing is that when I log into bbPress and I visit the Wordpress Mu homepage, I'm actually logged in and I can post comments in the blog. The only problem is the redirection when going to the admin page. I have to fill in the user/pass info again so it lets me in. When I do that I've seen another cookie is created, and I don't understand why it is not created in the first place if everything is installed and configured correctly.</p> <p>I intend to use BuddyPress (without forums integration) over there so it would not really be necessary for the users to log into any admin panel, and therefore there would be no problem. Indeed, I was thinking about only allowing users to log in through the homepage, and put a redirection in the forum's login page.</p> <p>But still, I wanted to solve this thing because I could integrate it perfectly when I was testing... and I don't want any problems in the future with the cookies and stuff.</p> <p>Anyways, I guess I will have to leave it as that...<br /> thank you for your time and help <strong>parkstreet</strong>, I really appreaciate it. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537/page/2#post-1171852 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 02:32:30 +0000 parkstreet 1171852@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Yes, I know what redirection you are speaking of. I mentioned this in an earlier thread that when a user is logged into bbpress, they won't be logged into wordpress. I've only gotten it to be vice versa (wordpress -&gt; bbpress), which in my opinion this is the way it should work and not the other way around. You should want your users to go through wordpress and not through bbpress or a back door. An option would be to replace bbpress login details with wordpress login details. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537/page/2#post-1171846 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 02:23:40 +0000 parkstreet 1171846@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Are you logging into bbpress when you are redirected or are you logging into Wordpress?</p> <p>Edit: Nevermind I read it above. I need to check on that. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537/page/2#post-1171842 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 02:18:58 +0000 mjjinvincible 1171842@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I'm still being redirected.</p> <p>I placed the "define" lines after the keys, I pasted the bbPress keys after the keys in the Wordpress config file. I added the line to allow user switching to the bbPress config file. I enabled XML-RPC in both WP and bbPress. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537/page/2#post-1171822 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 01:59:43 +0000 parkstreet 1171822@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Ok, in your wp-config.php, the "define" lines at the top should be placed after your keys, after your wordpress keys you should add your bbpress keys, and at the end of your bb-config.php file add this line: $bb-&gt;bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;</p> <p>Make sure that XML-RPC is enabled for both Wordpress and BBPress. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537/page/2#post-1171804 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 01:33:53 +0000 mjjinvincible 1171804@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>@parkstreet I installed everything from scratch again (I had messed the files trying to troubleshoot with this topic). So now I just installed Mu, installed bbPress with integration options, mapped user registration, installed the Integration plugin in Wordpress, copied the cookies code, pasted it into wp-config.php, cleared the browser's cookies, logged in Wordpress (everything works fine), logged out, cleared the browser's cookies again (just in case), logged in bbPress, and finally I cannot go to /wp-admin/ because I'm redirected.</p> <p>Here are the files:</p> <p>wp-config.php: <a href="http://paste.ideaslabs.com/show/i7W2aSSL91" rel="nofollow">http://paste.ideaslabs.com/show/i7W2aSSL91</a><br /> bb-config.php: <a href="http://paste.ideaslabs.com/show/6KWQzrjutq" rel="nofollow">http://paste.ideaslabs.com/show/6KWQzrjutq</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537/page/2#post-1171769 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 00:42:10 +0000 parkstreet 1171769@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>@pasmith, if you read a little further up in the thread, you will see that I mentioned subdomain installs will give problems and may not work properly. The person that started the thread had a subdomain install, and then changed it to a subdirectory install which fixed the problem.</p> <p>@mjjinvincible, you installed the Wordpress plugin? Can you post the info from your bb-config.php and wp-config.php files? Post everything except your keys. You can use this site (<a href="http://paste.ideaslabs.com/" rel="nofollow">http://paste.ideaslabs.com/</a>) to paste your code and then provide a link to it here. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537/page/2#post-1171752 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 00:25:46 +0000 ryans149 1171752@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>May be this can help you..</p> <p><a href="http://www.bestwpthemez.com/wordpress/how-to-integrate-bbpress-with-wordpress-mu-2062/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bestwpthemez.com/wordpress/how-to-integrate-bbpress-with-wordpress-mu-2062/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537/page/2#post-1171750 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 00:19:36 +0000 mjjinvincible 1171750@http://wordpress.org/support/ <blockquote><p>@mjjinvincible, have you tried clearing your cache and restarting your browser.

I not only delete the cookies but restar the whole browser, or even switch to another one.</p> <p>I'm not using a subdomain for my forum. It's within a subdirectory in the root (with all the other WP Mu files). </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537#post-1171739 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 00:11:38 +0000 pasmith 1171739@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hey all, I'm running into a similar problem and it sure seems to be cookie related.</p> <p>Setup is:</p> <p>blog at <a href="http://mydomain.com" rel="nofollow">http://mydomain.com</a><br /> forums at <a href="http://forum.mydomain.com" rel="nofollow">http://forum.mydomain.com</a></p> <p>If I log into wordpress then check out my cookies I see the host as</p> <p>mydomain.com </p> <p>no leading .</p> <p>If I jump over to bbPress, I'm not logged in. If I edit the cookie and put a . in the domain:</p> <p>.mydomain.com </p> <p>then reload the forum page, I'm logged in. Oddly, if I log into bbPress first, then wordpress reads me as logged in with no fiddling.</p> <p>In wp-config I have:</p> <p>define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.mydomain.com' );</p> <p>But it seems like wordpress is disregarding that leading period.</p> <p>Any ideas?</p> <p>UPDATE: It looks to me like that define statement isn't doing anything. For grins I changed the domain to foo.com and I still got mydomain.com in the cookie. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537#post-1171410 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:12:05 +0000 parkstreet 1171410@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Someone mentioned a <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-integration#post-21008">plugin</a> that can be created and dropped into mu-plugins that would take care of the role issue. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537#post-1171374 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 19:46:15 +0000 parkstreet 1171374@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>@Ovidiu, I am not sure if it is a bug or if this is the normal behavior, but I've noticed that as well. I think as long as you can see them in bbpress, that should be ok. What I've noticed is that when a user logs into Wordpress, then the "Inactive" status becomes "Member", or if they log in and then visit the forum, their "Inactive" status gets set to "Member." Like I said, I am not sure if this is a bug or normal behavior. This is a behavior for current members when you first install bbpress. But it seems like you are having this behavior after the fact. If that is the case, then I am not sure where the issue lies.</p> <p>@mjjinvincible, have you tried clearing your cache and restarting your browser. And you are not using a subdomain for your forum, right? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537#post-1171215 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:16:53 +0000 mjjinvincible 1171215@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi <strong>parkstreet</strong>,<br /> first of all thank you for <a href="http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/13856?replies=2">replying me</a> and leading me here.<br /> I've tried everything you say over here...</p> <p>Putting the code in the bb-config.php and wp-config.php files<br /> Enableing the XML-RPC thing<br /> Tried also what works for <em>driz</em>, leaving blank the cookiepath, and deleting the cookie path and cookie domain lines... but still it's not working. It ALWAYS redirects me to wp-login.php when trying to access Wordpress admin panel (after loggin in bbPress in the first place). </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537#post-1170945 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 13:05:21 +0000 Ovidiu 1170945@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>can I throw in a question myself, please?</p> <p>I have successfully integrated bbpress 1.0.1 with wpmu 2.8.3 and all is working well except for one small issue:</p> <p>users who sign up on the wpmu side, are not activated in bbpress even though I have configured it thus, that all groups should become members on the bbpress side.</p> <p>so I have ot manually go to the bbpress admin panel for each new user that signs up and make them a member manually :-(</p> <p>any idea what I could check here? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537#post-1169233 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 01:01:11 +0000 parkstreet 1169233@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Glad that you finally got it working. One day I will take a gander at the subdomain installation to see if I can get it to work. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537#post-1169160 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 23:08:55 +0000 driz 1169160@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Turns out the cookiepath needs to be blank and all works fine, even so all the docs insist on putting a / as the path. it actually creates duplicate // so thats the problem. Not sure if that was what was breaking the subdomain as well, but its all working now.</p> <p>Thanks for all your help pal.</p> <p><strong>EDIT: Spoke too soon, the logout links arn't logging me out! Any ideas why ?? :/</strong><br /> <strong>EDIT 2: Right fixed it, deleting the whole of the cookie path and cookie domain fixes all the problems, so the documentations are wrong in saying you need those lines of code, adding them breaks it!</strong> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537#post-1169152 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 22:52:46 +0000 driz 1169152@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Right! I have moved my forums to <a href="http://paperviewzine.com/forums/" rel="nofollow">http://paperviewzine.com/forums/</a> and NOW the cookies are working correctly. So it would seem bbPress and WordPress don't work when on different sub-domains. However the bbPress login is still spitting out the double trailing slash which then breaks the logged in status for WordPress. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537#post-1169131 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 22:24:29 +0000 parkstreet 1169131@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Wow, then I am completely lost. I think that this is where the double trailing slash is coming from. My only other suggestion is to check out the bbpress forum. People have been having success by using this <a href="http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/07/integrate-bbpress-10-with-wordpress-28/">guys</a> guide, but then again, it is not a subdomain installation. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537#post-1169127 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 22:20:28 +0000 driz 1169127@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>WordPress and bbPress automatically re-add the / if you remove it! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537#post-1169123 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 22:16:50 +0000 parkstreet 1169123@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>You are using a subdomain for your forum, right? I am not sure if that is the issue or not. People have been having problems with subdomain installations. Make sure that everywhere you enter your site url and blog url for Wordpress, that it does not have the trailing slash "/"; that would be in the backend settings, and your config files. Because of your subdomain setup, I am not sure if the forum url should have a trailing slash or not. These are a few things to try out or consider. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537#post-1169113 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 22:11:17 +0000 driz 1169113@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>When I log into bbPress I am logged into WordPress, BUT looking at my cookies the URLS are incorrect, they show two cookies //wp-admin/ and //wp-content/plugins so when I visit the Admin page of WordPress i am NOT logged in, but if I change the URL to //wp-admin it will work, I have looked all over to see if their is a reason why it is adding double // but their is no reason for it.</p> <p>I should also note that logging into WordPress does not have me logged into bbPress at all, I have to manually log into bbPress as well. So its half working, but what does work is also working weirdly. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537#post-1169104 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 22:04:07 +0000 parkstreet 1169104@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I believe they said the salts are used when you are using an ssl enabled site. I usually include them but don't know if that makes a difference. </p>
