ok, this is all fixed up. I deactivated Ann's plugin and installed FreshlyBakedCookies for BB.. I added the Logged_in_key to my wp-config file, updated the details for FBC - and now everything works beautifully! Thanks _ck_ for making all this great stuff possible .

I assume it is - but can't really tell.. things work the same with, or without it running, I just tested. Maybe I should try out Freshly Baked Cookies instead?

If you are using Ann's plugin, it should be using ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH at all. ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH is a 2.7 cookie constant, Ann's drops WP to 2.5's method. You sure Ann's plugin is running correct?

I have now added SITECOOKIEPATH but was only able to prevent the Redirect Loop issue by adding ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH . I noticed though, that I then get two WORDPRESS_123873843 cookies set.. and BB still does not know what to do. I am going to post my Configs here.. I'm probably missing something blatant!

You need to define <pre><code>define('COOKIEPATH','/'); define('SITECOOKIEPATH','/');</code></pre> in your wp-config.php if the cookie is not being set to / by default

hmm.. BB refuses to write the usercookie even with the bb-config setting. wordpress wrote the auth_cookie .. we're getting there! also, in wp-config i have not set sitecookiepath - when i do, i get "too many redirects". i am guessing this is because my WP install is under another directory, /main/. sorry for all the hassle here!

Wordpress_logged_in sounds like a remnant from 2.7's newer cookie method, does it still set that after you clear cookies and log in again? I guess the lazy fix would be to force bbpress to use the same cookie name via bb-config.php <pre><code>$bb->usercookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_123ergjh3kjhsdf12';</code></pre> update: it looks like ann's plugin uses AUTH_COOKIE so in wp-config.php put <pre><code>define('AUTH_COOKIE','wordpress_123ergjh3kjhsdf12');</code></pre>

thanks _ck_ (and thanks for all the incredible work you put into BB!) .. paths and hosts are correct. and the 123ergjh3kjhsdf12 string matches.. BUT it looks like BB is writing only wordpress_123ergjh3kjhsdf12 while WP is writing wordpress_logged_in_123ergjh3kjhsdf12 i'll keep poking around as maybe i missed a line to add to a config.. but am getting stumped!
