## Description

When a user logs in to WordPress, certain cookies are set in their browser
 which
indicate to the server whether the user is logged in on subsequent page loads.

bbPress can be set up to have the ability to read the standard cookies created
 
by WordPress to check whether a user is logged in and can grant the user access 
to bbPress based on these. The majority of this setup is done in the bbPress administration
area via the “WordPress integration” settings page, but it is also necessary to 
setup this plugin so that WordPress can set a couple of extra cookies which are 
required.

This plugin is only useful if you are running bbPress version 1.0-alpha-4 or
 later.

### Configuration

Go to the “bbPress Integration” page in the “Settings” area of the WordPress
 administration
area. Here you will need to supply the full URL of your bbPress forum.

If your bbPress plugins directory is not in the standard location because you
 have
moved it by defining BB_PLUGIN_URL in your bbPress config file, then you need to
supply that full URL as well. If your plugins directory is in the standard location,
then you can leave this field blank.

### Versions of this plugin before version 1.0

The versions of this plugin before the 1.0-alpha-4 version were used to
 synchronize
the roles of WordPress registrations with bbPress roles.

This functionality is now handled automatically by bbPress since bbPress
 1.0-alpha-
4

If you require the older versions they can be found via the SVN repository in
 the
tags directory.
