<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>
