Sorry for the delayed reply. Here is the info that allowed me to set any sub-domain of my domain to be recorded in the cookie automatically. Hope this helps someone else. This doesn’t seem to be documented anywhere else. Look toward the end of the files

dagnab….that didn’t work either. Thanks for the help. I am wondering what the root problem is here. I can only imagine it has to do with one of two factors…either I inadvertently messed something up in the wordpress/bbpress code while modifying it, or the host (dreamhost.com) has a configuration problem.

I suppose the third option might be that since I’m installed on php4 and not php5? Though I don’t see that as a real viable cause. Is there any way I can see the wordpress.org mod_rewrite directives to see if I’m missing anything since what I’m trying to do seems to work just fine here?

I AM DESPERATE! I WILL TAKE ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS, TRY, RETRY, AND EVEN TRY BACKWARDS IF YOU HAVE AN IDEA. I’ve got to get the official launch of this baby to happen…yesterday. This is me grasping at straws. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your reply, Otto. I’m really scratching my head on this one. I can’t seem to get past this, nor can my veteran web developer buddy, (though he is mostly familiar with .net). Here’s the code from my BBPress install directory’s .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /forum/
RewriteRule ^forum/([0-9]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^contest/$ /forum/contest.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^contest$ /forum/contest.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^forum/([0-9]+)$ /forum/forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^topic/([0-9]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/topic.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^topic/([0-9]+)$ /forum/topic.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/(.+)/?$ /forum/tags.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/?$ /forum/tags.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/profile.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)/([a-z]+)$ /forum/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)/([a-z]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)$ /forum/profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^view/([a-z-]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/view.php?view=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^view/([a-z-]+)$ /forum/view.php?view=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/$ /forum/rss.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/forum/([0-9]+)$ /forum/rss.php?forum=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/topic/([0-9]+)$ /forum/rss.php?topic=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/tags/([a-z]+)$ /forum/rss.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]

</IfModule>

They are listed WITH www. I am digging into mod_rewrite directives, but to be honest, I’m not really grasping it. Right when I think I have it figured out, it throws me. I have been able to get requests going to http://babyquestions101.com to redirect to http://www.babyquestions101.com/ using mod_rewrite in the .htaccess files. However, when I try it out in the forums, (http://babyquestions101.com/forum/) it just resolves at that address, and doesn’t insert the www. Any ideas?
