What is what?

    • Posted 3 years ago #

    I am trying to install forum and integrate it with the blog. I need to fill in:
    1. WordPress address (URL)
    2. Blog address (URL)

    What is the difference between them?

    Thanks in advance for the help,

    One more question.

    I am supposed to find "SECRET_KEY" in the WordPress wp-config.php file, but it is not there. The only mention of "SECRET_KEY" I found in the following string: "http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/ WordPress.org secret-key" which did not get me anywhere.

    Thanks in advance for the help,

    Sounds like you're integrate incompatible versions. What versions of bbPress and WordPress are you trying to install?

    • Posted 3 years ago #

    Regarding blog address and WordPress address, you can get those in your WordPress admin. They're generally the same, but not always. It pays to check. It's located here, but on your domain:

    http://www.example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php

    WP is 2.7.1 and bbPress is 0.9.0.4. Both are the latest versions.

    They turned out to be the same in my case.

    Thanks

    partly - bbPress has the 1.0 alpha (unstable!). And you should integrate the 1.0 with wp 2.7
    I think there is some plugin to integrate 0.9 with wp 2.7 but still... read some topics about the compatible versions in this forum.
    In general:
    WP < 2.7 & BBpress < 1.0: yes
    WP >= 2.7 & BBpress < 1.0: no
    WP < 2.7 & BBpress >=1.0: no
    WP >= 2.7 & BBpress >= 1.0: yes

    but remember: the 1.0 alpha is not recommended to use on live sites.
    (sorry if my english isn`t correct, i hope you get what i want to say)

    Since I don't have much to loose - I just started with the blog and the forum - I went with alpha. Everything went smoothly and I have already made my first post.

    All in all, I do like this bbPress thing. Not intimidating, intuitive, help is there when you need it.
