Hello, is it possible to run bbPress in webroot and WordPress in a subdir and have them integrated? (This option is not mentioned in the initial FAQ here in this topic)
I’m now going through the WP and BB integration FAQ and it seems there is no option for BB in webroot and WP in a subdir listed there: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101#post-17412
Could this be wrong? Something to do with cookies? But then the BB homepage gives these errors, so I’m not even trying to log in…
Maybe I should add I’ve got BB 1alpha2 and WP 2.6.3
Okay, many thanks for that one, musnake. I checked it out with this result.
.htaccess was full of old paths and updating solved the 500 internal server error. But it didn’t help much in the way of the database errors and I didn’t find any old path references in the DB nor in any files.
So, while queries into the DB for topics and forums is okay, the only thing that doesn’t work is the users (my BB homepage when asked for any user data gives the above errors) – which is taken from WP shared table. So could it be that the error is in initialization global $bbdb; ???
Yes, sitepaths in setting are correct. Normal user tables are in place, in fact I can use WP with no problems at all.
This is so weird… Will anyone give it another try?
the website is http://www.novapojistovna.cz (unofrtunately is in Czech)
Oh, I’ve just noticed there’re 2 weird tables:
– wp__usermeta
– wp__users
Both have 2 underscore marks and both are empty. Looks weird if you ask me, but dunno if it’s the problem.
Yes, I installed WP first, then BB and integrated from the beginning, so BB is using wp_users. In fact, there’s no bb_users table according to my phpMyAdmin. Somehow, it seems that BB cannot access that wp_users table for one reason or another. But what exactly it is, is a mystery to me 
One more piece of info – connection to database works alright when it comes to forums, topics, posts (they’re all listed on homepage). But when it comes to users (which is a link to WP), it fails and gives the above error.
Also, if I want to click through on a particular forum/topic from homepage, it gives 500 Internal Server Error
Any idea what this could be about? Where the reason is?
It worked alright before I started moving around with the directories.
If you’re talking about the params from config.php they stay untouched as they were before so BBDB_NAME, BBDB_USER etc. are correct….
Dont’t know what a socket connection is or how it differs
Yeah, found the bb_mail function and will use a couple spam protection functions from WP-Mail to hardcode it for my site but won’t be able to make a plugin out of it
Oh, that’s a little too complex 
I don’t think I can get my head around this one lest it was stripped down to the core functionality. The best part of my PHP days is unfortunately numbered but I’ll try to look for something easier.
I can see there’s no plugin like that yet, however can anybody just hint as to what backpress functions I can use in order to hardcode this myself? I’m learning the php + bbpress stuff quite fast so I’d give it a whirl with a little help.
Think it may come useful for others as well.
Jeez, the thing why I couldnt log in was caused by year long cookie plugin. Deleted it and its okay now…
The thing with rating in FF persists though
well, one more piece of info – on my site, rating works in IE (with automatic page refresh) and it doesn’t in FF (it used to work, but without automatic page refresh) but also I can’t now login into this bbPress support forum from FF and it doesn’t give any error – weird things going on now
Another thing I’ve just noticed – plugin rating on this site doesn’t work either. It says
Your attempt to do this has failed.
Please try again.
Doh, now the rating itself – bb_rating_dingus() – doesn’t work. I can click on a star, but it doesn’t go into the database
Another thing I noticed, we’ve got different line numbers so maybe you have a different version from mine?
_CK_: sorry to bother you again, I’m sure you know the answer and I just can’t resist asking. How would the code change if I wanted to list the Forum along the top rated topics?
If you get round taking a look at it I’d be very grateful.
Well, your shots are spot on _CK_. Many many thanks. Hope this helps lots of other newcomers as well.
After much research it seems the view ‘top-rated’ gives no results. I checked the DB and found noplace where ratings are stored. It’s really mind-boggling and a little over the top for my knowledge
Can anybody please help. I have the latest bbPress 1.0-alpha-2 and bbRatings 0.8.5
Yeeees, exactly!!! with customizable text in email body
