Two different installs: Login once (share cookies)
-
Hi folks,
I knooooow many before me have had, asked about and gotten answers to this issue ..but some are for older versions of WP, and I JUST can’t get this to work ??
Situation: I have two *different installs (WP1 and WP2)of WP on the same domain running on the same database using different prefixes.
*different = WP2 is a backupbuddy backup of WP1.Need: To be able to login ONCE on eiter WP1 or WP2 and to then be logged into both.
Problem: I have tried “everything”, but I just can’t get it to work! Salts are the same in wp-config.php for WP1 and WP2.
This is the wp-config.php of WP2. Values are changed to dummy values:
<?php /** * The base configurations of the WordPress. * * This file has the following configurations: MySQL settings, Table Prefix, * Secret Keys, WordPress Language, and ABSPATH. You can find more information * by visiting {@link https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Editing_wp-config.php Editing * wp-config.php} Codex page. You can get the MySQL settings from your web host. * * This file is used by the wp-config.php creation script during the * installation. You don't have to use the web site, you can just copy this file * to "wp-config.php" and fill in the values. * * @package WordPress */ // ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** // /** The name of the database for WordPress */ define('DB_NAME', 'wp_db'); /** MySQL database username */ define('DB_USER', 'wp_user'); /** MySQL database password */ define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); /** MySQL hostname */ define('DB_HOST', 'something.unoeuro.com:'); /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */ define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); /** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */ define('DB_COLLATE', ''); /**#@+ * Authentication Unique Keys and Salts. * * Change these to different unique phrases! * You can generate these using the {@link https://api.www.ads-software.com/secret-key/1.1/salt/ www.ads-software.com secret-key service} * You can change these at any point in time to invalidate all existing cookies. This will force all users to have to log in again. * * @since 2.6.0 */ define('AUTH_KEY', 'salt1'); define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'salt2'); define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'salt3'); define('NONCE_KEY', 'salt4'); define('AUTH_SALT', 'salt5'); define('SECURE_AUTH_SALT', 'salt6'); define('LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'salt7'); define('NONCE_SALT', 'salt8'); /**#@-*/ /** * WordPress Database Table prefix. * * You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique * prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please! */ $table_prefix = 'wp1_'; /** * WordPress Localized Language, defaults to English. * * Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the chosen * language must be installed to wp-content/languages. For example, install * de_DE.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to 'de_DE' to enable German * language support. */ define ('WPLANG', 'da_DK'); /** * For developers: WordPress debugging mode. * * Change this to true to enable the display of notices during development. * It is strongly recommended that plugin and theme developers use WP_DEBUG * in their development environments. */ define('WP_DEBUG', false); $root_host = 'mysite.com'; define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.'.$root_host ); define( 'COOKIEHASH', md5('https://'.$root_host) ); /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ /** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */ if ( !defined('ABSPATH') ) define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/'); /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */ require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
I’ve alto tried:
$cookiehash = md5("https://uniqture.dk"); // Use Site A's URL define(CUSTOM_USER_TABLE,'uniqture_users'); //Change 'wp' to match the prefix set during define(CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE,'uniqture_usermeta'); // Site A's installation define('COOKIEPATH', '/'); //This path should reference Site A's root define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/'); //Should match 'COOKIEPATH' define('COOKIEHASH', $cookiehash );
Can anyone help me getting this t work? It’s probably simple as heck ..but I just can’t get this important “little” thing to do as I want it to ??
(..and no, a multisite is not a solution for me, as I need an exact copy of my main site, whis will take me forever to recreate + need 100% control when editing both sites)
Thanks a lot in advance for any help! ??
