Re: Lost All Users (Including ME!)
Chris,
The forum was set up and functoned for years with the split databases. Posts are saved in the bbPress db, whilst users are saved in the WordPress db. Now, for some reason, bbPress cannot read the user info from the WordPress db. I’ve tried to reinstall, but once I’ve completed “Step 1” and click the button to move to “Step 2”, the page is redirected to the forum homepage and I never get an opportunity to get to “Step 2”. I assume the installation script realized that there is already an installation of bbPress present and refuses to go further.
My questions is, how (in the code) are bbPress and WordPress tied together? What could be fouled up that makes it impossible for bbPress to read the existing user data from WordPress?
