[bbDev] bbpress will not login if I configure it to use wordpress user and pass cookies

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your assistance.  I am still having an issue with users
status being incorrectly set to inactive.  See below.

That Makes sense. Perhaps it would be helpful to add this to your fine
config.php example at

Adjusting that did resolve the Inactive issue for the admin user. BUT..

I am still having an issue with users being marked inactive when they
access bbpres for the first time.  Their initial bb_capabilities value
in the wp_usermeta table is always set to:

a:1:{s:8:"inactive";b:1;}

If I manually adjust the value as you suggest above it resolved the issue.

This behavior is the same for the existing wordpress users or for new
users who register through the wordpress interface.  If I register a
users through the bbpress interface things work as expected; their
initial bb_capabilities value in the wp_usermeta table is set to:

a:1:{s:6:"member";b:1;}

I did not have any existing bbpress users, so I have not tried your bb
to wp import utility

Thanks again!
