I'm using WordPress 2.7 and there is no SECRET_KEY in wp-config.php, there are only:

define('AUTH_KEY',
define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY',
define('LOGGED_IN_KEY',
define('NONCE_KEY',

Which one do I use? Do I need to enable something to get a SECRET_KEY into my wp-config.php file? Did I miss a step somewhere?

Thanks,
Brad

Log into your MySQL database with php_myadmin, go to the <db-prefix>_users table, go to Browse view, and simply select each user you want to delete with a checkbox, then press the X at the bottom of the screen. phpmyadmin lists the username, real name, id, and so on of the user, so that you can quickly delete by names.

NOTE: Of course, only do this if you know what you're doing. Using phpmyadmin, you can do anything from change one letter of someone's username to trash your entire installation. Do not use this tool if you're a noob. :)

Also, this only works if the user accounts do not have any posts associated with them. If they do, this may cause very unpredictable behavior. Before doing this, delete all the posts associated with the user accounts from bbPress, or by deleting posts from the bb_posts table. Then, you can safely delete the users using the steps above.

Keep in mind bbPress (and I don't even thing WordPress) actually deletes users entirely from the db, it just disables them.

If you find a WP plugin that does what you want, it should be fairly straightforward to port to bbPress.

I don't know of anything similar for mass deleting users. You might just need to bite the bullet one time and delete them manually. I can't log in to my site now to check if there is some type of "delete all checked" users function in the bbPress admin or not. I can't recall.

Thanks

I did understand the Function part of the setup.

I made sure the bb-config.php file looked like this.

if ( !defined('BB_PATH') )
define('BB_PATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );
require_once('path/to/wp-blog-header.php');
require_once( BB_PATH . 'bb-settings.php' );

So that means I completed the checklist.. BUT what am I missing that won't allow one user login to carry from bbPress to WordPress and vice-versa, so that a user doesn't have to login twice?

1) You are running latest versions of WordPress (2.5.1) and bbPress (0.9.0.2)

2) You have matched SECRET_KEY in wp-config.php with BB_SECRET_KEY in bb-config.php

3) You have matched WordPress "secret" database option with bbPress "secret" database setting

4) You have setup compatible cookie domains and paths in config files (see instructions in bbPress admin)

5) You are successfully sharing user tables from WordPress with bbPress

Have you searched the forum for either cookie or role?

A couple things sounded interesting:
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-integration-logout-problem
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integration-how-to-do-it

Take a look at the user tables and see if there is something there that will affect logins. I'm quite possibly wrong. You could also try a test installation using the same procedure you've already used, but add the shared user table, and see what happens.

I have matched SECRET_KEY in wp-config.php with BB_SECRET_KEY in bb-config.php and matched WordPress "secret" database option with bbPress "secret" database setting.

I have also setup compatible cookie domains and paths in config files and mapped user roles.

The only thing I haven't done is share user tables because it isn't required and my bbPress database is separate.

I am still having problems integrating. When a user registers on bbPress, they are not registered in WordPress.

Change "meta_value" to: a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}, So it will look like:

user_id meta_key meta_value
1 bb_capabilities a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}

I wish I could insert a picture of the phpmyadmin file. Let me know if someone what me to send it to them so they can post it on their website. Thanks to all that posted this free help...

My BBPress was getting users from my WP, but I suspect this isn't now working. Is there a way to check this?

There must be an instruction somewhere that tells BBPress to access the WP database, but I haven't found it.

I'd be grateful for a point in the right direction.

1) open your bbpress_dir/bb-includes/pluggable.php
2) find function wp_validate_auth_cookie
3) inside this function change next 2 lines of code

$key = wp_hash($username . $expiration);
$hash = hash_hmac('md5', $username . $expiration, $key);

to

$key = wp_hash($username . '|' . $expiration);
$hash = hash_hmac('md5', $username . '|' . $expiration, $key);

4) find function wp_generate_auth_cookie
5) inside this function change next 2 lines of code

$key = wp_hash($user->user_login . $expiration);
$hash = hash_hmac('md5', $user->user_login . $expiration, $key);

to

$key = wp_hash($user->user_login . '|' . $expiration);
$hash = hash_hmac('md5', $user->user_login . '|' . $expiration, $key);

That's all!

NOTE! It's only actual for wordpress 2.5.1 with bbpress 0.9.0.1

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-login-required-when-between-bbpress-and-wordpress

I double checked, the latest stable version of WordPress MU uses the old password hashing and cookie types.

You can dumb down bbPress to work with that version of WordPress MU by using both of these bbPress plugins.

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mouldy-old-cookies-for-bbpress/
http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/md5-insecurity-for-bbpress/

What version of WordPressMU?

I'm not sure that the latest version is compatible with bbPress yet. The recent Release Candiadte is though.

Anyhow, just downloaded and installed the latest wordpress mu and bbpress today.

wordpress in DocumentRoot, and bbpress in DocumentRoot/forums/

Both in mysql 5.x database named wordpress.

When installing bbpress, I did not enable wordpress integration.

I followed this checklist:
1. You are running latest versions of WordPress (2.5.1) and bbPress (0.9.0.2)
2. You have matched SECRET_KEY in wp-config.php with BB_SECRET_KEY in bb-config.php
3. You have matched WordPress "secret" database option with bbPress "secret" database setting
4. You have setup compatible cookie domains and paths in config files (see instructions in bbPress admin)
5. You are successfully sharing user tables from WordPress with bbPress

Everything seems to be right.

BIG FIRST PROBLEM is I setup the roles on the wordpress integration page so "admin" is "key master." As soon as I turn on integration, my old key master is gone and admin can login but is NOT key master. Google is my friend, most of the time, and I found a query to do by hand to fix it. This should be automatic in the install process of bbpress or turn on of integration, no?

So I'm able to login to wordpress. I login to bbpress. My user's password is wiped out in wordpress. I can do lost password thingy in wordpress and restore the password. When I navigate to /forums/ and login as my user, the password in wordpress is wiped out again. Oddly, I can login as my user at bbpress over and over again, no problem.

notes:
1) my user is a user I created on wordpress, and he has admin privs and thus key master privs in bbpress. I see the admin link in bbpress when I login. But when I do login, wordpress won't accept this user's password anymore. I either have to keep loging into wordpress as admin and resetting the user's password or go through the forgot password by email process. Changing the user's password in bbpress has no effect on wordpress.

2) The integration forum in admin is confusing as all hell. Or maybe the installation process is not well documented. Maybe a page on your site about how to install the two together and get the integration working would be good. For example, should bbpress and wordpress share the same database? Not clear. The integration page asks for both a site url and a blog url, what's the difference?

3) Did anyone try doing a fresh install of both as part of your Q/A before releasing a latest version of bbpress?

4) If I can't get the password problem resolved, bbpress is the one to go, not wordpress.

5) I probably should post some of this in multiple threads, but I doubt there's any notification feature that would e-mail me if/should anyone reply to my posts :)

6) I want to give bbpress every opportunity to replace my existing 20K+ member / 1.6M post message board site.
