Since I can’t read the language can you point out which one is suppose to have a sub-forum?
As chrishajer says if you post a link it would really help us see the problem.
@adaptistration
You’re welcome, glad I could help.
That error message usually means either it can’t connect because the database does not exist or your login credentials are not correct.
I would check that first before anything…
I don’t see how it would make integration more difficult?
But yes this error has nothing to do with new database but a simple error in database connection. I was merely trying to suggest from the beginning to simplify the process…
Again I would still not install bbPress on the same DB because if I ever wanted to just get rid of bbPress, i simply can delete the whole DB without a care but if it is installed within WP DB, I would have to find each table that is associated with bbPress in your case is prefixed to forum1 and delete all those. For a total novice, it would not be easy to know that technically.
Every hosting account should have their own UI/utility for you to create a database and assign a user to. Godaddy will have that as well, just go into your control panel and you should find it. If memory serves me correctly they also use phpMyAdmin. But I would definitely have a knowledgeable person do it for you.
Is this a new site? Would you be able to redo it or its already live?
@jcriley,
Your error message immediately tells me that either your login credentials are not correct or your database does not exist or has a wrong name. Did you create the database first before you try to install it? And by the way, I wouldn’t enter “wordpress” if i were you because that could potentially wipe out your wordpress database. You should create a separate database for bbPress and integrate the two if you like.
The only time I’ve seen this happen is when the integration was not done properly. You mentioned “sometimes”, so does that mean at times it works? Or are you seeing the symptoms of logging in on wordpress does not log you in on bbpress, you would have to log in again on bbpress and vice versa? Is that what you’re seeing?
Do you have it in deep integration?
