I am wanting to figure out how to keep members logged in between my primary website and a WP blog in a subfolder.
I have already setup the wordpress external authentication plugin so that people are only registering/logging in via my primary websites database and that seems to work fine..... but the issue i am having is that being logged in doesn't carry over between the main site and the wp site. I can log in fine via the wp page using my main site credentials but, if I navigate back to the main website, I am not registered as logged in and the same goes if I am logged in via the main site and then navigate to the subfolder blog, am no longer recognized as an already logged in user.
I have done a lot of looking around hoping to find some plugn dealing with this, since it seems like enough people would want to provide a simple "log in once" option for members between a main website and blog, but surprisingly could not find one. So hoping that it is indeed something easy, not even warranting a plugin, that I didn't think of and that some wp guru knows what needs to be done, via auth cookies or whatnot so that when a member is logged in via the main site they will be recognized as a logged in member on the wp blog too.....
