    Logging out isn't enough. Make sure you manually delete the cookies from your browser.

    here's my process:

    cleared all cookies and cache.

    went to the site, post comes up fine.

    went to the forum, logged in.

    went to the site with posts, reloaded - no posts.

    logged out of forum.

    back to the site, reloaded - still no posts (whereas before the posts were there when I reloaded after logging out).

    the user shouldn't have to clear the cookies after logging out though?

    You don't have to delete your cookies every time. I just wanted to make sure that your old "name" and "pass" vanilla cookies were gone. Wordpress must do some wacky shit with cookies if I can't give my cookies a name like VANILLAname and VANILLApass without it screwing up THEIR application.

    library/Vanilla.User.class.php lines 1057, 1058

    Change this: 
    setcookie("pass", $EncryptedUserID, time()+31104000,"/",agCOOKIE_DOMAIN);
    setcookie("name", $VerificationKey, time()+31104000,"/",agCOOKIE_DOMAIN);
    To this: 
    setcookie("vanillapass", $EncryptedUserID, time()+31104000,"/",agCOOKIE_DOMAIN);
    setcookie("vanillaname", $VerificationKey, time()+31104000,"/",agCOOKIE_DOMAIN);
    library/Vanilla.User.class.php lines 1243 & 1244

    Change this: 
    $EncryptedUserID = ForceIncomingCookieString("pass", "");
    $VerificationKey = ForceIncomingCookieString("name", "");
    To this: 
    $EncryptedUserID = ForceIncomingCookieString("vanillapass", "");
    $VerificationKey = ForceIncomingCookieString("vanillaname", "");
    library/Vanilla.Session.class.php lines 35 - 38

    Change this: 
    setcookie("name", " ", time()-3600,"/",agCOOKIE_DOMAIN);
    unset($_COOKIE["name"]);
    setcookie("pass", " ", time()-3600,"/",agCOOKIE_DOMAIN);
    unset($_COOKIE["pass"]);
    To this: 
    setcookie("vanillaname", " ", time()-3600,"/",agCOOKIE_DOMAIN);
    unset($_COOKIE["vanillaname"]);
    setcookie("vanillapass", " ", time()-3600,"/",agCOOKIE_DOMAIN);
    unset($_COOKIE["vanillapass"]);
    Then be sure to clear your browser of your existing vanilla cookies to prevent any further conflicts. You only need to do this once to get rid of the old cookie values. You shouldn't have to do it again in the future.

    I need sleep.

    success! thank you!

    I'll just link to this post in the WP forum unless you're worried about what people will think about the hate/strong disdain for wordpress comment.

    otherwise i'll just post the code on the WP forum.. :)

    i just posted the code on the forum here.
