With SSI user is not recognized

[Drug Mile]

I am working on integration of blog built on Wordpress and forum on SMF.
Blog: http://www.perforum.info/
Forum: http://www.perforum.info/forum/index.php

I want forum statistics on Wordpress homepage. It works quite good using SSI.php functions. As explaned here: https://simplemachines.org/community/ssi_examples.php, I pasted "require..." part to Wordpress header and then created few widgets on homepage that are requesting content i.e. ssi_recentTopics().

The problem is with functions that work depending on if user is logged in or not.

Code Select Expand

<?php ssi_welcome(); ?>

This should show my name and private messages if there is any. Other functions that I want to use would offer me to login or logout, or display latest posts that are hidden from guests. But even though I keep logging in to Forum, my homepage always treat me as a guest. I have opened both blog and forum at the same time. On forum I am loged in as administrator and checkbox is set to remember me permanently, but on blog at the same time I see "welcome Guest, please login or register". On forum I see all topics including the ones that are hidden from guests, and on homepage I see only what guests can see.

Any idea what might be the problem?

Where is wordpress installed (directory,  subdomain, etc?)
Where is forum installed?

What are your smf cookie settings?

[Drug Mile]

Wordpress is installed in the root, smf is in folder /forum.

Cookie settings are probably default, I can't remember I changed them. Hope attachment will help.

Also, I tried with enabling subdomain cookies, but it did not change anything, still I am treated as a guest.

turn on subdomain independent cookies.
Clear your cookies and browser cache
try it then...

might also try turning off database driven sessions.

Did all of your advices but still the same. Anything else I could try?

[Drug Mile]

I found the solution, I believe. As described here:

https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=551723.0

I modified my SSI.php like shown on attached picture. I refreshed Wordpress page and there I am, well recognized.

excellent...

sorry I missed that and glad you found it...

Wordpress is a pain in the butt when it comes to playing nicely with other softwares.
