Login problem with site on 2 URLs

  • We are in the process of making https://www.YourBusinessMatters.net our main URL but the previous site was built and is hosted on https://www.YourBusinessMattersTour.com. We’ve reset the General Settings so users are directed to the new .net address after registering or logging in but then the ‘new’ site is not recognising them as logged in. (They have to go back to Tour.com site to get into their profile).

    We are using “Custom Meta Widget” for the login process on WP 3.6.1.

    Also, using bbPress for the Forum and that is not recognising they are logged in no matter which site the user goes to.

    I’m not a techy so please be gentle with your suggestions.

    Thanks !

    PS: Also looking for a reputable WP freelancer to start supporting this on an ongoing basis.

  • Hi steveashton,

    Cross-domain logins are actually disabled on purpose, for security reasons. It would be very easy for a malicious website to take advantage of cross-domain logins to gain unauthorized access to your site, so it’s generally considered a no-no.

    That said, I did find a plugin that might help (although again, cross-domain logins are a bad idea): SSO Cross Cookie.

    As for your need of a freelancer, I’m not sure if we’re allowed to discuss that here, but I am one. E-mail me at [email protected] and we can discuss what you need and if I can help you.
