I don't know if this is related to my using LDAP with WordPress 2.6.1, but I am using the wpDirAuth v1.3 LDAP plugin for my blog and when I try to use the “Login/Register” links from within the forum, they ignore my submission. If I go to the /wp-admin login page, then go to the forum, I am logged in and all is well.
What's crazy is I can close my browser, and come back to the forum, it still identifies me in the greeting line, but tells me to login to post. And when I try the login links, no good. It still thinks I'm not logged in.
Any ideas? I'm hoping to have this site shortly and I think this may kill using this forum plugin.
Thanks!
Bryan

Out of interest - and please don't take this as insulting! - when you close the browser and then re-open on the forum page do you actually perfrom a page refresh? It's amazing how many people don't and then wonder why it didn't work…
Ok - details. I am not totally surprised that it fails with another plugin. One of the problems that has dogged me and many other plugin authors is the way that WP change core 'bits' from one version to the next - often with almost every version. One of these areas has been authentication. Using our own login forms is popular because the WP login forms always insist on ending up in the admin back end and people quite reasonably tend to not like this. So we did our own thing. But I think with the arrival of WP2.5 and particularly 2.6 this aproach is causing more problems that we like. This whole section is being re-written and bought up to date for 3.2 and, hopefuly, in such a way that it will live happily beside all other plugins.

No problem. I honestly didn't expect anyone to jump regarding an issue between two plugins, but there was this faint hope in my mind that someone might reply “AhHa!” and give me a fix 
And yes, I did do a refresh. Actually I have my browser configured to always get the page and never use caching, and I will frequently issue a forced refresh when I run into odd things like this.
So, I guess I have two other questions then… one, when do you think 3.2 will be out? and two, in the interm, is there someplace specific in your code I could point my dev here to look at to see if we can come up with a quick fix? We would of course send back anything we discovered to you for review in case it helps you out.
Thanks!

It's amazing how many times people say something didn't work yet did not refresh the browser - hence the old code is still on the screen!
3.2 is tentatively positioned for the end of October with a beta program starting at the beginning of the month. But - there is no guarantee and to be honest I may delay because of problems I mentioned above and a need tlo rewite sections.
if you are happy using the built in standard WP logn form I would go to the file sf-incudes.php, find the define for SFLOGIN and point it at the WP version. I can advise you on the code if you need help.

No problem. It's a perfectly reasonable question (browser caching).
Ok, so we know the WP login form well, we had to do some work to integrate Vanilla through that, so we'll take a look. I'll ask my dev to follow-up on this thread if he has any feedback.
Thanks again, and thanks for the quick replies!
