Thread:Extension talk:WPMW/Issues with MW 1.19.2 and WP 3.4.2/reply

I contacted Ciaran via mail and he helped me to fix my issue. Thanks Ciaran!

Just for the record:

If you install MW and WP in the same folder there is an cookie issue. Ciaran explained:


 * In that configuration, the reason the logins won't carry across is because WordPress sets its cookies on it's base directory, so the cookie when you log in to WordPress is set for yourdomain.com/wordpress, and the browser won't send it when you go to yourdomain.com/wiki.

He advised me to install this WP plugin and this really did the trick! :)

My (test) wiki runs under sub.domain.com and my (test) WP install is under sub2.sub.domain.com. All I had to do is put sub.domain.com under "Domain Name" within the plugin settings.

Now it works fine:
 * Logging in works vice versa.
 * I can confirm that if you log out on WordPress, you stay logged in on MediaWiki. But that's okay with me...

Thanks again for your great support!
