Root Cookie for WP 2.6
Tags: PHP, plugin, root-cookie, WordPress
Thanks to Scott Kingsley Clark for giving me the kick I needed, but I’ve finally gotten around to updating my root Cookie plugin for WordPress, we’re now at Version 1.3 !!
The point of the plugin is to strip out the path from the cookie so that it can be referenced by other applications; wordpress 2.6 has a whole new cookie structure and this broke the old version, but I’ve been so swamped recently that it wasn’t maintained.
Scott is one of the very few nice people in the world who instead of grumbling offered up a patched plugin, actually I’ve done it a different way but I appreciate his support anyway.
You can download the plugin from wordpress.org, and there is a discussion forum to get community support.
Enjoy!

This plugin would really be “root” if it was domain-specific instead of sub-domain specific (by default).

the root refers to the web directory, rather than the domain

Then it’d be really “w00t” if it was an option to be the domain too.. I can build the admin page if you want.

I’d be more than happy to accommodate your work (and of course attribute appropriately)
