My forum is a subdirectory of my blog by the way.

Gary

wp_capabilities a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}

Should this be deleted?

Gary

Login problem:
wp_home and wp_siturl will only work if the url for your forums is a "subdirectory" of the url for your WordPress blog. If that is not the case, you'll need the more fine-grained control mentioned in the Cookie integration with WordPress Documentation

Installation problem:
on Installation, bbPress looks to see if there are any keymasters in the User Tables already. You'll need to go to your usermeta table and delete the entry:

meta_key = $bb_table_prefix . 'capabilities' (example: 'bb_capablities')
meta_value = a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}

This part of the installation will have to change in the next version for several reasons. The difficulties you're seeing is one of them.

Thanks for the advice. I do have the right table prefix. What I see as the issue is that the first time I installed, it let me select users from a list. Each time I have done a reinstall, it does not, it keeps the same each time. Is something not being done by me in the reinstall to cause that.

Gary

Also there's a chance that there's a error somewhere else in the config file. I had to reinstall just to be certain after I corrected my config. I knew immediately everything was fine becasue during the setup I asked presented with a drop-down list of users to choose from. Previously (When I had the config wrong) I didn't.

My config for this section

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.
// If you're not, just leave the rest as it is.
$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; // 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix.
$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.energizedeating.com/blog'; // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://www.energizedeating.com/blog'; // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

// Use the following line *only* if you will be loading WordPress everytime you load bbPress.
//define('WP_BB', true);

/* Stop editing */

define('BBPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );
require_once( BBPATH . 'bb-settings.php' );

?>

Thanks,

Gary

$bb->wp_table_prefix = false; // 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix.

I had set the urls only to domain.com/directory, when I added the http and www it worked fine.

I made the point about TRUE becasue it seems that you never set it to TRUE, you just add the correct prefix.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = false; // 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix.

Set it to true, and use my prefix, I am running into this error:

bbPress database error: [Table 'dbname.1users' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM 1users WHERE user_login = 'ergate' AND SUBSTRING_INDEX( user_pass, '---', 1 ) = '*****[moderated]*****'
bbPress database error: [Table 'dbname.1users' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM 1users WHERE user_login = 'ergate'


Even if I intentionally put the wrong db prefix, it still gives this same error.

But as long as I use keep using the old integration code in the config file

// use the WP user table for your bbpress user list
define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'wp_users');

the login works just fine.

I replaced the FALSE with TRUE instead of adding the actual urls and the'wp_'. Your problem might be completely different but maybe you made the same mistake as I did?

As a side note it seemed obvious to me that if it wasn't FALSE then I should set it to TRUE, but maybe not everybody agrees.

(Layout is a bit screwy, in the middle of customizing for theme release)

Same login problem is being encountered.

the forum is at http://energizedeating.com/blog/forum/

Anyone is welcome to register to confirm and hopefully help me solve this.

When I arrive at the forum, I am greeted as signed in

When I tried to post, I am prompted to login, , but the same login box appears again after and I remain not logined in.
If I enter my login info wrong, I am given an error message.

I hope someone can help.

Gary

Also, please try installing the official release, garymill. There were several changes between October 12th and the final version, some of which dealt with login issues.

I came to the forum to see if I am not alone. and am not!

Gary

My wordpress username doesnt contain spaces or anything like that, it's simply "ocean"

Does your WP username have any spaces or "funny" characters in it?


# BEGIN BBPress

After doing so I kept getting 404's when clicking on topics, etc (only to find out later I needed to fix my url at the beginning of config). Now everything is working except logins. Any ideas?
