  Hi All,

  When users register on my main site, it uses the WordPress database. The accounts share the same username and password.

  Now when users login to my main site, I want the user to login into WordPress automatically. How can I do this?

  To achieve this I set a cookie to match that of wordpress cookie(In case we use wordpress login form to login) in the following manner. I call this script after logging into main site.

  $cookiehash = md5($blog_directory_web_path);

  $siteCookiePath = ‘/blog/forum/’;// WordPress is working with bbpress

  define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, false);

  $expiration = 0;
  if($remember){

  $expiration = $expire = time() + 1209600;

  }else{

  $expiration = time() + 172800;
  $expire = 0;
  }

  $data = $username . ‘|’ . $expiration;

  $key = hash_hmac(‘md5’, $data, ‘phrase 1’);
  $hash = hash_hmac(‘md5’, $data, $key);
  $cookie = $username . ‘|’ . $expiration . ‘|’ . $hash;

  setcookie(‘wordpress_’.$cookiehash, $cookie, $expire, $siteCookiePath, COOKIE_DOMAIN);

  setcookie(‘wordpress_’.$cookiehash, $cookie, $expire, ‘/’, COOKIE_DOMAIN);

  How can I set wordpress Cookie from Outside WordPress2.6.1.

  Following links are useless.
