 * I’m trying to integrate login and user data between WordPress and bbPress. bbPress
   installation requires the AUTH_KEY which I added to wp-config.php. However doing
   this gives me the following message when I try to re-login: You do not have sufficient
   permissions to access this page. I added the other keys and salts with no problems.

 * I found the answer to my question. Move the define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ) to the top of
   wp-config.php where the other define statements are at. I believe it has to sit
   before the database definitions. Sorry if this is commonly known but I struggled
   with this for a day.
