<p>When a user logs in to WordPress, certain cookies are set in their browser<br />
which indicate to the server whether the user is logged in on subsequent page<br />
loads.</p>
<p>bbPress can be set up to have the ability to read the standard cookies created<br />
by WordPress to check whether a user is logged in and can grant the user<br />
access to bbPress based on these. The majority of this setup is done in the<br />
bbPress administration area via the “WordPress integration” settings page, but<br />
it is also necessary to setup this plugin so that WordPress can set a couple<br />
of extra cookies which are required.</p>
<p>This plugin is only useful if you are running bbPress version 1.0-alpha-4 or<br />
later.</p>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<p>Go to the “bbPress Integration” page in the “Settings” area of the WordPress<br />
administration area. Here you will need to supply the full URL of your bbPress<br />
forum.</p>
<p>If your bbPress plugins directory is not in the standard location because you<br />
have moved it by defining BB_PLUGIN_URL in your bbPress config file, then you<br />
need to supply that full URL as well. If your plugins directory is in the<br />
standard location, then you can leave this field blank.</p>
<h3>Versions of this plugin before version 1.0</h3>
<p>The versions of this plugin before the 1.0-alpha-4 version were used to<br />
synchronize the roles of WordPress registrations with bbPress roles.</p>
<p>This functionality is now handled automatically by bbPress since bbPress<br />
1.0-alpha-4</p>
<p>If you require the older versions they can be found via the SVN repository in<br />
the tags directory.</p>

<h4>Use of 3rd Party Services</h4>
<p>wpForo connects to external services operated by gVectors Team for certain features. These connections are optional and only active when the corresponding features are enabled by the forum administrator.</p>
<p><strong>gVectors AI API</strong> (api.gvectors.com, api.gvectors.net)</p>
<p>When AI features are enabled by the forum administrator, wpForo sends forum content (topics, posts, and metadata) to the gVectors AI API for processing. This includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Content Indexing: Forum content is sent to embedding generation for vector database</li>
<li>Semantic Search: Query is sent for embedding for vector search</li>
<li>AI Translation: Forum text is sent for translation into other languages</li>
<li>AI Summarization: Topic content is sent for automatic summary generation</li>
<li>Content Moderation: New posts are sent for AI-powered content analysis</li>
<li>AI Chat: Conversation context is sent for AI response generation</li>
<li>Topic Suggestions: Forum data is sent for generating related topic recommendations</li>
</ul>
<p>No data is sent to the AI API unless the forum administrator explicitly enables AI features, accepts the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and configures an API key. A fallback domain (api.gvectors.net) may be used automatically if the primary domain is unreachable.</p>

<p><strong>gVectors Addons Store</strong> (gvectors.com)</p>
<p>When using wpForo addons purchased from the gVectors store, the plugin communicates with gvectors.com to verify addon licenses and deliver automatic updates through the WordPress Dashboard. This includes sending your site URL and license key to validate your purchase and check for available addon updates.</p>
