Integration just utilizes the wp_users and _usermeta tables. If you don't have those tables since you don't have a WordPress blog, then integration at this step doesn't matter much. There is more work to do if you want an integrated look and integrated user logins. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/newbie-query-re-step-2-wordpress-integration#post-15206 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 19:12:01 +0000 Hermiony 15206@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Thanks Chris, I'll give that a go.<br /> Sam, I'm planning for bbpress to be part of an existing website, so I think (sorry, learning as I go along) that it means I need to integrate the two together.<br /> Thank you both for your input. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/newbie-query-re-step-2-wordpress-integration#post-15205 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 18:55:43 +0000 sambauers 15205@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>You should skip step 2 unless you are specifically integrating your bbPress installation with a WordPress installation.</p> <p>If you don't know what a blog address is, then you don't have one. There are lots of notes in the installer telling you exactly what the options are. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/newbie-query-re-step-2-wordpress-integration#post-15200 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 18:34:08 +0000 chrishajer 15200@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>In wp-config.php, there is this line:<br /> <code>define(&#39;SECRET_KEY&#39;, &#39;put your unique phrase here&#39;);</code></p> <p>Whatever value you have there is what you need for bbPress.</p> <p>For WordPress address and Blog address, log into your WordPress control panel and under "Settings" you will find these two entries. Whatever is here is what you put into your bbPress installation.</p> <p>They are entries three and four I believe.</p> <p><a href="http://www.example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php#siteurl" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php#siteurl</a><br /> <a href="http://www.example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php#home" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php#home</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/newbie-query-re-step-2-wordpress-integration#post-15195 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 17:45:17 +0000 Hermiony 15195@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I'm confused about what I should enter in the following boxes;<br /> 1) Wordpress address<br /> 2) Blog address<br /> 3) Cookie secret key</p> <p>I'm guessing the blog address is my website URL?.........<br /> But what about the other two?</p> <p>Any help greatly appreciated! </p>
