   I have a WP 2.7.1 / BB 0.9.4 integration running.. its sooo close to perfect, minus one step.

   Account creations are checked against each side and work beautifully.. however, when you log into BB or WP.. it does not automatically log you into the other app. So when I log into the Forums, and click over to the Blog side, it does not think I am logged in.. however my BB credentials do work fine.

   I have Ann Oyama's cookie plugin installed on WP, and the BB integration settings are all set right.

   I'm clearly missing a step somewhere, and was wondering how to go about testing..

   The site is up at http://www.filetransferplanet.com . Thanks in advance!

   Oh and structurally.. under the domain root, I have the blog and forums living in their own subdirectories, however WP's index is in the root.

   Use a tool or bookmarket to view the cookie set by each side.

   Check to make sure they are using the same cookie name, ie.
   wordpress_123ergjh3kjhsdf12

   also check that they are both using webroot as their path '/'

   and they are using proper domain name starting with a dot (.filetraferplent.com)

   See my 101 integration guide on bbPress in order how to fix those in your bb-config and wp-config.php

   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!

   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

   $bb->usercookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_123ergjh3kjhsdf12';

   update: it looks like ann's plugin uses AUTH_COOKIE

   so in wp-config.php put

   define('AUTH_COOKIE','wordpress_123ergjh3kjhsdf12');

   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!

   You need to define

   define('COOKIEPATH','/');
   define('SITECOOKIEPATH','/');

   in your wp-config.php
   if the cookie is not being set to / by default

   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!

   and BBpress..

   <?php

   define('BBDB_USER', '#######'); // Your MySQL username
   define('BBDB_PASSWORD', '#######'); // ...and password
   define('BBDB_HOST', '#######'); // 99% chance you won't need to change these last few

   define('BBDB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old bb-config.php does
   define('BBDB_COLLATE', ''); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them
   // If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

   // Change BB_SECRET_KEY to a unique phrase. You won't have to remember it later,
   define('BB_SECRET_KEY', '#######'); // Change this to a unique phrase.

   // If you are running multiple bbPress installations in a single database,
   // you will probably want to change this.
   $bb_table_prefix = '#######'; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

   // Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the
   // chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.
   // For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to 'de'

    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?
