Solved WordPress & NodeBB

[JAC]

Does NodeBB and wordpress allow for users to stay logged in on both sites? If you had a forum and a news site for example?

Apologies if it’s a silly question.

@jac That won’t matter. You just redirect at nginx or apache level and it’ll work. The generally accepted standard though is to use a subdomain.

@jac There’s no such thing as a silly question. It’s possible, yes - see here.

@phenomlab thanks, so this would sign users in to both accounts if you had the forum on /forum or .forum?

[phenomlab]

@jac I expect so, yes, but I’ve not actually tried it.

@phenomlab no problem. Would NodeBB work properly on /forum for example? Or would it cause issues.

@phenomlab of course, as you know from previous discussions I do like the sound of a news / general site and then a forum on the side for people to discuss the post in etc, but of course it’s a lot of work. The one plus is obviously if the Nodebb plugin can allow users to login to both services using the same login then that would be advantageous.
