OK, this used to work just fine. Now, it doesn’t. I’m assuming the problem started back when I upgraded from 4.x to 5.x, but I’m not quite sure.
Anyway, it is a Wishlist Member powered site with latest version of Simplepress installed for member forums. When a member is logged in, they can visit the main forum homepage (and see the list of forums).
BUT…
The moment the member clicks on any forum or thread – pretty much anything – they get access denied and it somehow reverts to a guest profile. It is as if the user session works fine on the forum home, but gets lost when the person clicks on anything. And, because SimplePress thinks they’re a guest, it doesn’t show any content.
I had Wishlist protection on for the forum, and on SimplePress 4.x, it was all working fine. Today, the forums were being caught by the Wishlist redirect to the login (understandable since it think they’re a guest, all of a sudden). So, I turned OFF Wishlist protection to see what happened, and that’s what made it obvious that SimplePress is simply forgetting who the heck they are when they click on anything.
I can’t figure this out. I already went through the instructions on making Wishlist and SP work together and, to my knowledge, everything is right.
For what its worth, forum is at:

But, you’ll be a guest when you get there. Usually, it would know who they are because they’d be logged into Wishlist already.
