Wordpress inside Laravel Integration

Question

I have one system (built in Laravel 4.2) and I want to integrate it with Wordpress.

Only authenticaed users can access this blog.

I think in 2 options:

1 -> In routes.php include something like

Route::group(array('before' => 'auth')), function() {
    Route::get("wordpress", function() {
         require_once public_path() . '/blog/wp-load.php';
         exit;
    });
});

Only auth users can see blogs routes. If someone try to access without login, It will show 404 error (this code doesn't work, only one example).

2 -> Integrate Laravel with Wordpress. When create a new user in Laravel, It will create also in Wordpress. When access blog, It will automatically log user into Wordpress.

You can also ask this question at their forum. As both laravel and Wordpress uses their own routing and folder structure. — Niklesh Raut, Mar 08 '17 at 04:05

To create a union user system, I suggest that you use WordPress REST API & OAuth (Authentication System) it has a WordPress plugin you can use the data for both sides, Laravel & WordPress.

To authenticate users from Laravel application to allow them to view WordPress specific directory, you should generate WordPress authentication cookies from Laravel then redirect.

I think these articles may help you to start:

Mahmoud, thank you.

I solved this problem with the function wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id, true);

After log-in in my system I call one function that use wp_set_auth_cookie and login the user into Wordpress.

This does **not** answer the question in a useful way. _why_ do you believe this is the answer? _how_ does it work? Simply telling someone to _change their code_ without any context or meaning does not help them learn what they did wrong. – GrumpyCrouton Jun 10 '17 at 03:53
I used the second option. Create a Wordpress user is easy, you can find it. (I answered my own question, so I marked it as answer). After create the user, I did: require("/pathToWpLoad/wp-load.php"); $user_id = username_exists($email); $userdata = get_userdata($user_id); $user = set_current_user($user_id,$username); wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id, true); – Andre Trevas Jun 11 '17 at 18:56
