Question

I’m trying to make a simple login form.

The wordpress function
is_user_logged_in() always returns false.

I don’t want to use any pre-existing themes for wordpress, and I want to simply add wordpress functionality to an existing page.

I checked the cookies on my page with the form, and none are being set.

The wordpress install is located at:
http://localhost/newgameplus/wordpress/

The testings script is located at:
http://localhost/newgameplus/TEST/scripts/php/testWP.php

EDIT:

Solved this issue by going to wp admin panel, and changing the options.
Settings>General Settings

Adjusted site Address to reflect the actual website location.

Answer 1

Your script is running in a different web space to the WordPress install. To access the WordPress functionality you’ll need to be working on the site within the wordpress web space – ie the

http://localhost/newgameplus/wordpress/ 

directory
