     I moved from WordPress to WordPress MU. I expected to have to reset the plugins in both WordPress MU and bbPress, and according to my settings, all is well, but it won't connect. In the WP plugin, I have the bbPress URL set as /bbpress/, which produces:

     URL is incorrect or connection error, please verify it (full variant): /bbpress/my-plugins/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/bbwp-sync.php

     So when I click on that link, it takes me to a page that says:

     If you see that, plugin must connect well. WordPress test response (must be a:1:{s:4:"test";i:1;}): a:1:{s:4:"test";i:1;}

     I changed in the WP part to bbPress URL = http://mysite.com/bbpress/

     It worked. Such an easy fix I'm upset it took me four days to get it working after switching to WP MU.

     I'm almost done setting mine up, but I have an issue and I'm not sure how to address.

     I have everything in the right place, but I also have permalinks set up on the blog, so:

     http://mysite.com/bbpress/my-plugins/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/bbwp-sync.php

     Is 404 even though that folder structure and file exist on the server.

     I don't want to chang my permalink structure, but I don't know what I can do to work around the issue. Any ideas?

     Permalinks are critical to me too. Does this plugin break (or not work with) permalinks?

     I've had to disable this because of the "Anonymous ID" problem. I put in ID #1 and while the plugin will work, it insists that I am an unregistered user - Which is not right! So at the top of every post it'll say "Posted by an unregistered user" ...Argh! It's a shame because this is a really useful piece of work! :(

     I have a strange problem. When a post is synchronized from wordpress to bbpress the post comes along ok, but it is by the wrong author.

     Is there any way to fix this?

     @PeteMichaud and a few others who is having this same problem.

     I had it also and this is the fix I came upon thanks to the folks at justhost.com (really great service) and CyrixInstead's post on page 9 third down from top.

     Starting from CyrixInstead's suggestion...

     In each of the synchronisation scripts a call is made using fsockopen (line 551 in the WP script and line 112 in the bbPress script - both version 0.8.0). In my case both WordPress and bbPress are both hosted on the same server so there is no need to go out to the wider Internet. Therefore by changing the following:
     @fsockopen($matches[1], $port, $errno, $errstr, 10)
     to
     @fsockopen('localhost', $port, $errno, $errstr, 10)
     you do not try and open an outbound connection and your server does not block the script.

     the plugin works perfectly for me if instead of 'localhost' you simply put in your website name....

     my code in the lines Cyrix noted looks like

     @fsockopen('www.wicricnews.com', $port, $errno, $errstr, 10)

     Hope that helps

     My experience with the plugin is a bit little different.
     I had so many errors with the plugin like many of you. Both WP and bbPress would never sync with plugin settings like secret key and etc. Well, maybe once in 100 refreshes, but once I enable both side, it would just fail soon after.

     Turns out, it was the server settings. DNS to be more precise. The fix? I'll get to that later.

     This plugin is very strict with connection between the both WP and bbPress. Usually they're placed in the same server, or so you would think but that's not 100% true. And since every server settings are different, we might get many connection problems. Some servers will see the plugin as a port attack. Some servers won't even allow the connection between both side of plugins for security reason. So far, some of the problems here could have been fixed with editing the source codes, but I usually don't like to do so because when you upgrade the code later, it can easily break the code.

     Anyways, in my case, it was the DNS and NS problem that was causing the sync problem between WP and bbPress side.

     Servers and internet nowadays are smart enough to automatically point to the right server, even without the textbook-correct DNS zone settings. If you think you've setup the DNS correctly, and pointed to the right NS, and still can't get both side to sync, I suggest you to try this first:

     http://www.intodns.com/

     Visit and type in your domain name and see what results you are getting. For the 'Parent' and 'NS' section, you shouldn't have any yellow-colored warning signs. Maybe couple like 'Different subnets' and 'Different autonomous systems' but nothing more than two blue "i" icons and green check marks for rest of them. With this tool, me and my webhosting server admins spotted the problems and worked together to fix many DNS settings. I still can't believe that people could connect to my website even with the crappy DNS settings. Well, it was me that did the poor job but I'm new to VPS and still learning, so...

     After fixing the DNS zone problems and pointing to the right NS, the plugin works like a charm. And my website actually connects faster from all over the world. Ping time is better too and as much as I hated the plugin, it was totally worth the time and effort.

     I recently migrated from wordpress to wordpress MU and this caused all my bbpress users to go away.

     Currently i copied my existing wp_usermeta and wp_users files into the bbpress database (SQL) and the users came back. However when new users register to the forum not it does not automatically mirror the user as also being registered in wordpress.

     Any suggestions as to how to get this working again?

     Been having the same problem a lot of you seem to have had.

     I can get the WordPress to bbpress plugin working but not the other way - "[bbPress part] Cannot establish connection to WordPress part)". I get the message in bbpress that "URL is incorrect or connection error, please verify it (full variant)"

     When clicking on the ?wpbb-listener link I get the message "If you see that, plugin must connect well. bbPress test response (must be a:1:{s:4:"test";i:1;}): a:1:{s:4:"test";i:1;}"

     If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it, it's been driving me mad over the weekend. Thanks.

     Hello,

     this plugin used to work very well for me but all of a sudden i've got this problem:

     the comment from bbpress to wordpress appears blank, no words in it. There is the name of the author, comment isnt in approval but is published on the site, counted in bbpress... just EMPTY, lol.

     Plugin works perfectly the other way round, from wp to bb.

     I am using WP version 2.9.2. and BBpress Version 1.0.2.

     Does anyone has any advice, please? I really dont know how to get it back to work, i have tried and failed so many times, already.

     Thank you very much.

     The plugin is posting comments from the website to the appropriate forum post - but anonymous users come up as the admin. Very confusing. What ID do I set the anonymous user as. It works with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc but I've no idea what this means

     @edwardbaker

     the #'s might mean the number of registered user. I am guessing that it is saying admin (as mine is saying right now too) because the number in the "WordPress syncronization options" for "Anonymous user" is 1. if you were to create a new user... say... "Anonymous" you will need to figure out which # user that you just register and put that number in the field for "Anonymous user".

     To figure out which user # you just register just look at the current # of user you have and then add one to it after you finish the registration.

     Please respond back if this works... I will try it out but i got a few more issues to work out....
