Try removing the .htaccess file in your bb-templates directory.
Ah!
My sincere apologies. I’ve sent you on a wild goose chase. That plugin will only work with the upcoming next release of bbPress.
Don’t dispair, though. That new release is coming soon.
Sorry!
Then you’re in luck!
Login to your bbPress site
go to the admin panels by clicking the “Admin” link next to the “logout” link
Click on the “Content” tab
Click on the “Forums” subtab
Then add whatever forums you like
If bb_ really is your bbPress table prefix, and that is what is entered int the integration plugin page, users registering through bbPress should be given WordPress’ default role upon logging into WP for the first time.
So I’m not sure what’s wrong exactly, but it may be caused by the stuff you’re doing manually (as you expect).
This will be fixed in the next release. Thanks!
Go to the Users tab of your WordPress Admin panels.
Under what role are these troublesome accounts listed?
It sounds like you want four forums (like this site has “Installation”, “Troubleshooting”, “Templates”, “Plugins” and so forth).
Users would then create new topics in these four forums.
Am I mistaken?
zapata, this plugin.

Can you paste the entire contents of that file http://pastebin.com/ and then post the link here?
You should probably have the www. pages redirect to the other pages.
Failing that, you can follow the advice I gave here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/113?replies=3
You’ll need to change the cookie information for both WP and bb.
Strange – it worked for me.
Make sure that userspace.php has no whitespace before the <?php or after the ?>
require_once(‘/home/dental/public_html/wp-blog-header.php’);
define(‘WP_BB’, true);
Where are you putting that? It should be the very first thing in bbPress config.php
I went to the URL you posted, and there was nothing there.
Try
$bb->wp_home = 'http://passionforcinema.com';
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://passionforcinema.com';
did you define WP_BB in bbPress’ config.php file?
If so, you must also
require_once(‘/path/to/wp-config.php’);
abc112345,
That’s a great tip, thanks! And I’m glad you got it working.
No easily.
Try:
<a href="<?php user_profile_link( $topic->topic_last_poster ); ?>" title="User Profile"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></a>
This can also be caused by defining WP_BB to true without manually loading WordPress as well.
In addition to editing bbPress’ cookie information, you will have to edit WordPress’:
for both bbPress and WordPress
the domain should be .salatti.net (note the first .)
the path should be /
So in bbPress’ config.php:
$bb->cookiedomain = ‘.salatti.net’;
$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;
in WordPress’ wp-config.php:
define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.salatti.net’);
define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);
define(‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);
Let us know how it works.
That snhould be all you need to do (it shouldn’t matter who’s what). But I haven’t actually tested it.
Please let me know how it goes.
The domain should be http://localhost and the path should be /~myusername/bbpress/ but that shouldn’t stop the database connection.
Do you know if you have PHP’s mysqli extension loaded (as opposed to the normal mysql)? If you do, try copying bb-includes/db.php to bb-includes/db-mysqli.php to overwrite that later file (it seems to be out of date).
Please let me knw if that helps or not.
It’s the space.
Try this plugin:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Allow spaces in user names
Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/99
*/
function wpbb_user_sanitize( $text, $raw, $strict ) {
$username = strip_tags($raw);
// Kill octets
$username = preg_replace(‘|%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])|’, ”, $username);
$username = preg_replace(‘/&.+?;/’, ”, $username); // Kill entities
// If strict, reduce to ASCII for max portability.
if ( $strict )
$username = preg_replace(‘|[^a-z0-9 _.-@]|i’, ”, $username);
return $username;
}
add_filter( ‘user_sanitize’, ‘wpbb_user_sanitize’, -1, 3);
?>
Jaxia, bbPress cannot use forum and topic names in its urls currently.
This will likely be a feature in future versions.
What do you mean “but it failed”?
I believe there are several plugins for WordPress (and even a sidebar widget) that pull content from RSS feeds.
I’d use the widget since I don’t know the names of the plugins off the top of my head. I’m sure Google does, though
