   Hi friends,

   I have a cakePHP application housing a WP blog. I am using an auto-login plugin to log my users into WP when they sign in to my cake application. This works perfectly fine. But the trouble is, I need this to work the other way round too. That is a) I need my users to get logged in to cake when they log in using WP and b) I need to log users out of WP if they log out of cake and vice versa. I know I can probably achieve this by destroying the wp_auth cookie when I destroy my cake session upon logout. But I am not able to call any WP functions from inside of cake. I tried including the wp-blog-header.php in order to load the WP environment so that I can use the WP variable in Cake but that doesn't work either"

   Below is the autologin plugin code -
   

   /*
   Plugin Name: Auto Login
   Description: This is a Auto Login plugin works on the Intialization of the WordPress.

   */
   
   session_name("XXXX");
   session_start();
   
   function auto_login() {
       if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
   
           //get username
           $user_name = $_SESSION['User']['username']; 
   
           //get user password
   		$user_pass = md5($_SESSION['User']['password']); 		
   
   		// Get User's data based on Username to initialize the User session
   		$User = get_userdatabylogin($user_name);
   		$wp_UserID = $User->ID;
   
   		// Process auto-login
   		wp_set_current_user($wp_UserID, $user_name);
   		wp_set_auth_cookie($wp_UserID);
   		do_action('wp_login', $user_name);
   
       }
   }
   add_action('init', 'auto_login');

   Any help here from you guys is highly appreciated.
