BuddyPress.org

Unless things have changed and I’m way behind on the new version, you need bbPress in order to use BuddyPress to its full potential. bbPress is what makes the groups work.

I had lots of login and logout issues. And to fix them, I had to “mess around with cookies and stuff like that.”

1 thing was that I copied all of the auth keys from the wp-config and put them into bb-config. Another modification was that I had to define the cookiehash. When logging into bbPress, I didn’t have that hash so there were 2 separate cookies being created. 2 separate cookies means that logging out of 1 side doesn’t kick you out of the other.
