Set $wgServerName to www.joshua-wopr.com and $wgServer to 
http://www.joshua-wopr.com in LocalSettings.php, and it may be solved.

You can log out in the site with the www, then log in in the site 
without the www, and I think it will make you logged in in both "sites". 
Of course, the first solution is better, and I suggest you'll use this 
one only if the first doesn't work.
