WordPress and bbPress Integration

    • Posted 1 year ago #

    Hi,

    I am sure this has been asked but I must not be typing the right search phrase because I can not find the solution.

    I have successfully integrated a few WordPress/bbPress installations but am having an issue with the latest one I am setting up for a client.

    WordPress is successfully installed.
    The latest download of bbPress has been installed and uploaded to the server.
    The WordPress bbPress integration plugin has been installed.
    The appropriate define cookiepath and cookiedomain settings have been added to the wp-config.php

    When starting the bbPress installation and configuration, I keep getting...

    ...problem connecting to the WordPress user database.

    I know the auth keys and all the other keys are correct as well as the database prefix of wp_.

    I am missing something?

    Thanks,
    Bert

    By the way, I am integrating WordPress 3.05 and bbPress 1.02.

    The problem is with the database prefix of wp_

    Even though that is the correct user database prefix, it just doesn't work.

    All the key and salts are correct.

    I have not had this problem before and am curious if anyone else is experiencing this problem.

    I am really running out of things to try.

    Thanks.

    WOW! Too many later hours. It was a silly mistake on my part.

    For some reason, even though I had selected to integrate the WP and BB databases, I was using BB database credentials as the connection and not the WP database.

    No wonder it kept telling me it could not find the WP user table.

    Something so simple was driving me crazy. I knew I knew how to do this because I have done it several time.

    Oh well, maybe by my mistake someone else can find their solution.
