BuddyPress.org

John, I tried commenting out that setting and there was no joy. I’ve been focusing on the cookie domain:

on the wordpress side, on logging in the wordpress_logged_in_* cookie has the cookie *Domain* ‘.bz.dev‘, whereas on the bbpress side the cookie has the *Host* ‘bz.dev‘.

So on the wordpress side there is an extra ‘.’.

It does this irrespective of whether COOKIE_DOMAIN in wp-config.php is:

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.bz.dev’ );

or

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘bz.dev’ );

My understanding is that if cookie handling is the same on the wordpress and the bbpress sides of the integration, then the login state should be retained.

It seems to me that the problem is may be related to this COOKIE_DOMAIN constant and how it is being handled (or ignored) by wordpress (and/or bbpress).
