I got the importer to work, but some of the posts were under the wrong user names b/c of conflicting unique user IDs between wordpress/bbpress and the old phpbb board I tried to import.</p> <p>I haven't been able to try it yet (phpbb.com is down), but they have <a href="http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=388155&#38;sid=3d5e8f776a7086b6fec64c3e80c7cbca">a mod</a> called Change User ID that seems to do exactly what its name suggests. If so, I intend to use it to change the three user IDs that are conflicting from 2, 3, and 6 to 99992, 99993, and 99996 respectively. That way, when I import the phpbb tables there will just be "blanks" in the sequential unique user IDs for the existing wordpress IDs to fit into.</p> <p>Hope this is helpful... </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integrating-bbpress-with-wordpress#post-4728 Wed, 21 Feb 2007 22:44:26 +0000 fel64 4728@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hey,<br /> I just wanted to say that I just installed bbPress in a subdomain from my forum and got the cookie syncing to work fine.<br /> Much thank to Trent, who provided half the solution:<br /> <pre><code>$bb-&gt;cookiedomain = &#39;.lumanation.com&#39;; $bb-&gt;cookiepath = &#39;/&#39;;</code></pre> <p>made it so that forum-generated cookies worked for the entire website. I had to go into wordpress root and edit wp-settings.php line 190:<br /> <code>define(COOKIE_DOMAIN, &#39;.example.com&#39;);</code><br /> I do not understand how it worked previously, as it defined it simply as false (I assume that the browser will automagically substitute the domain that the user is currently on?). However, hardcoding the domain worked for me, and as long as I remember to change this in future upgrades I should be fine.</p> <p>I did have troubles, especially logging out, while testing all this, and found that it's vital to clear your cookies manually as the wordpress/bbpress logouts were clearing different cookies and you could stay logged in despite trying to log out.</p> <p>But yeah, I'm all good. :) Thanks guys. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integrating-bbpress-with-wordpress#post-4419 Mon, 12 Feb 2007 21:12:13 +0000 isza 4419@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hello!<br /> My question is about embedding the bbPress into the WP.<br /> I'd like my WP to work like this website.<br /> I've installed the WP, bbP and the integrater plugin (activeted) you advised in an article.<br /> Can you advise me what should I do?<br /> Many thanks guys! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integrating-bbpress-with-wordpress#post-4378 Sun, 11 Feb 2007 22:43:33 +0000 Trent 4378@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>No problem!

None of the WP users show up in the bbPress user list and I still cannot log in with to WP with the bbPress users nor log into bbPress with the WP users.
