    It was my own stupidity. I never realized the hotlink until it was too late ;) Thanks again

    That would be greatly appreciated _ck_ ! I still have a few major sites that I can’t seem to contact using the original theme with the call to the script, but I hope that they will eventually get tired of seeing the authentication screen on every page load with specific instructions to remove that particular line from their bbPress theme!

    Please don’t download the copy from bbshowcase.org as it still has a reference to the Anarchy Media plugin for wordpress in the header.php line 19 which needs to be removed. Since I was getting a call for every single page view for every single hit to every single site using it, the cheapest bandwidth was protecting the site. That being said, I have a copy that does work fine at:

    Hi Chris! Finally have another project that will use bbPress pretty extensive in the works so I should be stopping by “way” more often ;)

    Good idea. All the themes on there appear to have the spam links including the ones that I worked on. This is the whois on that domain:

    You can find all versions of bbPress at the following URL, but be advised that it is strongly recommended you use the most recent versions of the software for all security reasons.

    I can’t replicate this with the latest SVN and the default theme as gravatars show up. I see what you mean though. Does it work with the default theme for you? That theme you are using might not support gravatars?

    I believe there is a plugin that does this by polling the DB. Not sure if it is on the plugins site here or over at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins but it is called something like “bbPress Latest Discussions” or something like that.

    Unless I am missing something, it creates a user in WP doesn’t it? Then it would have to be using the site cookies right? If you have a proper cookie integrated site wouldn’t that then make you also logged into bbPress? This is all theory of course as I just saw the FB connect WP plugin today…..

    I could upgrade my php but happy with the 5.1.x series right now. I guess I will upgrade to 5.2.x at some point though. 4.4.9 should be a minimum as not many shared hosts even use 4.x anymore.

    The easiest way now would be to look at the bbPress-live plugin at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-live/ and use the new xmlrpc functionality to pull the information in. Just create a new WP page template file to use for a new WP Page. There is more documentation on the plugin page, but kicker is that it requires 1.0 alpha 4 at minimum. As for including bbPress as a WP page, I don’t think I have ever came across instructions that work…..

    Last time that happened to me, it was “plugins go wild” and there were ridiculous amounts of extra entries in my meta tables in the DB. I have also seen this with bad plugins in general for whatever reason. It could also come from a bad plugin on the WP side of things if you have integration. First place I would check would be the user and site meta tables for both bbPress and WP. As well, try disabling plugins to see if that works.

    Personally have never tried to get the userbase from bbPress into WP or WPMU, so not sure how that process would go. With integration, the users are pulled from the wp_users instead of the bb_users and the same for the user meta files. Your understanding is correct, but as for the process of getting those bbPress users in, not sure.

    WPMU 2.6.5 will have not integrate with bbPress 0.9.0.3. Anything past WP or WPMU 2.5 would need the 1.0 alpha series of bbPress to integrate properly. Of course, the risk is that they are not final versions of software packages. I actually use both WPMU 2.7 beta2 and bbPress 1.0 alpha 4 on a couple installs and works great, but there are always bugs.

    Long story short, it would be safest to just stay with WPMU 2.6.5 and create a “2nd” install of bbPress with another database, (keeping your original one completely intact) and upgrade the “2nd” install to bbPress 1.0 alpha 4. If you find it works and integrates nicely with 2.6.5 for you then great. When WPMU 2.7 comes out it will also need the 1.0 series as well.

    Jim Groom has a wonderful post that is also a good read on the integration side.

    Good luck!

    Generally what I do is just edit your template to change the code on register.php to just have the registration page either redirect to your wordpress registration or have a link on it. If you use the default theme, just copy it into /my-templates/ and edit the register.php file of your theme. That seems to be the easiest as it then never shows the bbPress registration form.

    This site has the forums run on bbPress and the Blog run with WordPress. The navigation and “look and feel” really is just done through the template that you decide to go with. Best part about bbPress is the templates generally are created with CSS so you can do whatever you want to do. bbPress and WordPress do integrate logins and cookies which is nice, but the design really is not that bad as well.

    @trent

    Member

    Compare the functions from the default theme and the theme you are trying to integrate. It is hard to say what you changed that caused you issues. It is pretty much guessing without knowing what you changed.

    Login as a keymaster as well and check if there is anything in the akismet queue. It will show topics closed if you are logged in as a user that akismet picked up as spam sometimes.

    It is all part of of bypassing the content filters. It is dangerous, but I wrote a plugin once for allowing embeds by the administrator and _ck_ wrote a better one!.

    Not recommended for an open forum though since it would just be the biggest security risk ever to have it open to everyone….
