   Hello friends!

   I have an installation of wordpress 2.1.2 with "Connections" theme installed. Due to a typical requirement of my site, not everybody can register at my blog site. Only special members who register separately (I have created a user authentication system in PHP using cookies.) have that access.

   Now when I log in and access the blog an error message is displayed:

   No posts found matching your criteria

   I found in the troublehsooting section that removing cookies and browser cache solves the problem. It did solve the problem but I need to have the cookies in place. Why does the wordpress blog interfere with the cookies? Plz help!:(

   The structure of my site:
   

   Root
      - blog/wordpress files
      - members/login.php

   The login.php sets the cookie in the following way:

   setcookie('xsreality_username', $username, 0, '/','',false);
   setcookie('xsreality_pass', md5($password), 0, '/','',false);

   I have tried hard but cant understand whats going wrong with it?

   WP already uses cookies and has a pretty good login/logout functions. Perhaps you need to make your php authentication as a WP plugin, or search for a plugin that already does what you need.

   thanks azaozz for replying.

   I am not sure whether a plugin for my requirement would be there...
   But just now I have solved the problem. Actually I was thinking on a totally wrong line. Cookies has got nothing to do with the above problem. WP *does not* interfere with any cookies already present with the same domain.

   The reason for the above error was that I had included the session checking code in the wp-settings.php file. In my session checking code I was using SQL statements with a totally new connection of MySQL which was generating the above error. I changed the SQL statements and used the $wpdb object and the problem was solved.

   Thank You.
