• 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

    	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! ??

    [ No bumping please. ]

  • Hi,

    I got the exact same problem here, and I’ve been searching all along solutions but nothing I find on the web seems to work for me, may be because is done for older versions of WP as kalledrengennr1 says.

    Can anyone help me?

    Thanks so much!
