[Solved] JSConnect and Wordpress integration

Sp4wn

I appear to have a problem, my site evulgaming.com is wordpress and running simple:press, however I am really not happy with it and think Vanilla is great.

I have JSConnect installed here and have the integration embed done fine. However I really seem to run into an issue with the SSO system, it wont allow me to login with my WP account, if I click login on the forum, it takes me to the WP login page I setup, I type my credentials in and then I am redirected back to the forum, not signed in.

Any help in the matter is much appreciated, if more info is required I would be happy to ablige.

Thanks in advance,

A few things you can do to troubleshoot.

1. Click the "test url" link in Vanilla's jsConnect config page. Try it both when you are and aren't signed in to your Wordpress site.

2. Browse to /role/defaultroles in your site and make sure you have default roles set up. If users don't have a default role then when they won't have any permissions within Vanilla and won't appear to be signed in.

Cheers Todd.

1. Logged out or in, the test URL sends me to the wordpress homepage. It uses the VFRequest URL to get there however.

2. Are we talking default roles on the Vanilla side or Wordpress? I have default set to in wordpress and have email confirmation default role set to member in Vanilla, I have also selected "connect" in registration, new members are only registered via SSO plugin.

I forgot to mention that I am also running buddypress and that the pre-defined page setup from the wordpress plugin that you paste into the JSConnect might not be entirely correct for Buddypress.

I might look into changing the pages from the plugin manually as there is no way to edit them from wordpress.

Any other info would be much appreciated, I really want to go with VF, but SSO is a must.

Thanks again,

Embarrisingly it appears I have been using the wrong plugin on the Wordpress side, I have now installed the correct one and everything appears to be working correctly.

Thanks for the troubleshooting Todd, you gave me the idea. Apologies for the inconvenience.

It appears I may have been to hasty with thinking I had this. The admin aacount will authenticate and let me sign in, however it is a matching account from wordpress and vanilla.

It will not however let my members sign in or my test standard account, it just redirects me to the page not logged in. It is recognising that the user is logged into WP as when it asks you to sign in via the site, it has the username ready.

I am completely stuck with this and really need help.

Thanks in advance,

Edit: I have also noticed in chrome the popup opens and automatically closes when trying to sign in the SSO.

God I feel like I am spamming this thing.

I cant believe how simple it was.

chrisyutz said: Wow. Nevermind. It was only an issue with permissions not being set to allow signin on the default new member role.

For future peoples reference.

Marking this as solved.
