I have an existent wordpress install. I successfully installed bbpress and have the db pulling from wp install for the users. Now I want to try and wrap my wp around bbpress utilizing my existent header and footer in wordpress.
bbpress - v0.74
wordpress - 2.0.6
I have been searching everywhere looking where to start but alot say I need to set ('WP_BB', true); in the (bbpress) config.php. In this version of bbpress, it's not in there. Am I missing something?
I found where on the forums where someone suggested putting
require_once( '/home/content/j/z/l/jzlharvey/html/wp-config.php');
I did this and got the following error.:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare is_serialized() (previously declared in /home/content/j/z/l/jzlharvey/html/forums/bb-includes/wp-functions.php:914) in /home/content/j/z/l/jzlharvey/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 281
Bueller... Bueller... Bueller... :\
you have to include wp-config.php in config.php before the call to include bb-settings.php
so1o, thanks for the reply.
when you say "include the wp-config.php in the config.php"... is that not what I did when I added the line of code:
require_once( '/home/content/j/z/l/jzlharvey/html/wp-config.php');
Yes, you add that line of code on the line directly before this line (I believe):
require_once( BBPATH . 'bb-settings.php' );
Make sure to change that piece of code to match the actual location of your file. When I put that code into my installation though, all I get are errors. I've found you can get away without it.
thank you bbolman.. I was placing the code after that line, not before. That did it... but I had to disable "Ultimate Tag Warrior" plugin to keep from getting any errors.
Now, on to trying to customize the look of bbpress. Thanks again.
