Root Cookie for WP 2.6
UPDATE: This Plugin has been updated, please comment on the new post, thanks.
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)
Hey Nick
currently i have 2 wordpress blogs running off of same domain main blog is installed on http://www.example.com and second blog is installed on http://www.example.com/media
Is it possible to use this plugin to make it so when i log on to http://www.example.com it automatically logs me on to http://www.example.com/media?
@jc min – Yes, this plugin does that, as long as your username and password are the same then you will be “logged” into both sites concurrently.
Sorry, I got a little trigger happy, I upped a plugin called root Cookie Path (subdomains) that is a modification of your plugin to allow for sub-domain as a wildcard cookies.
Feel free to download it there and when you integrate your plugin with this, I can remove mine.
Cool
Would I be right in thinking, that in order to log into two blogs with 1 cookie, do you need to have SECRET_KEY the same on both blogs?
OH yes that would probably also have to apply.
