After testing and trying to get many plugins to work I finally got this to work 
I will have no choice to use this on my A live site as nothing else works but from what I can see it is actually pretty stable 
Here's what to do to fix the redirect loops
Navigate to the plugin settings
now make a new folder in your forums root called "check.php"
and put the following code inside the folder:
Now navigate to that file in your browser you will see something like C:/path-to-forum (this is what I see on my local server and I have not tested this on a live server but it should still work) Copy the information you see on the page in to the Absolute Plugin Path Setting, Now log out of your forum & wordpress sites, After this login to your forum again.
Done
Hope this helps some users.
Now all of a sudden the dumb plugin is not working how do you figure that out :/ I just disable wordpress comments and if my users ask I just blame it on the compatibility between both softwares. Spent days trying to get this to work
I try my best....
All of a sudden it is working again I will need to have a look tomorrow.
I have got this to fully work now I have resolve all problems
I will make a video on you tube explaining how to do it on my channel tomorrow so be ready
I will try my best in the video to save you all the trouble but this plugin does work well just some minor issues which I also show you how to fix in the video.

my settings are:
Mybb 1.6.10
WordPress 3.7.1
I cannot get this to work.
Tired several setting both in the settings for the plugin in wordpress and also in MyBB. I also used the recommended settings in the picture.
I also looked at the cookie names that were being generated by MyBB, both in firefox and chrome, they both matched what I had set the cookie name to in the plugin settings. The other options seem pretty straight forward.
after I save the settings with the plugin, it pretty much kicks me out of the wp-admin and you can no longer log back in because the plugin is not working. Only way to get back in was to delete/change the plugin file name.

Alright after a few days looking and modifying the code, I have cleared out the redirect bugs, Just make sure you have a index home page named "index.php" as I have added ../index.php one directory down for a homepage as I have a custom sign in page for Mybb.
Hope this saves you all from modifying the code and remember to make the changes I have sated about with the forums path.
Cheers,

Thanks for fixing 
I did not thought to the possibility of a blog without the index.php file, LOL
On line 180 and 290, instead of using
It's better to use:
because home_url() also evaluates the right protocol and the home page accordingly to your theme.
Doing so you fix the redirect loop, but you always redirect to home page the user, even if he is on another page of your blog: not a big issue, but it can be annoying, obviously, this is up to you

No problem glad to help
There are a few other issues which I PM'ed you about but besides that the plugin works great.

do you still work on the plugin? Will you update it?
thanks
No, I'm not actively working on it.
I'm using the plugin in a production environment since november and it works fine, so for me it's ok.
I will update it only if needed to let it be compatible with new versions of wordpress and mybb.
Do you need any feature?

As far as web and forum location is concerned, it is little more difficult.
Web is located in: /www/domains/my-site
Forum is located in: /www/subdomains/forum
URLs are: my-site.com & forum.my-site.com
Uhm…never tried a configuration like that.
Try to install it in a test environment after merging the databases and give me information about the cookies, so I can make further assumptions.
If you can update this for 1.8 that would be awesome
