what am i supposed to do then?
I run an integrated bbpress / wordpress site. It has been live for about a year. I check in at least ever 2-3 weeks or so, but infrequently based on most standards.
I tried logging into my bbpress site (cross log-in has never worked for me) using my administrator ID, and I get an error ‘user does not exist.’
I tried loggin in as other users (moderator, subscriber, etc.) and I get the same error for those as well.
I cleared cache, retried – same results.
I try logging into the WP side & can login without problem. I can get to my WP dashboard (2.5.1 btw) but not my bbpress dashboard (0.8.x – can’t recall & can’t access my dashboard).
I did try the ‘reset’ PW option from the WP side for one of my failed bbpress users. It gave me a new PW, and still not able to login to the bbpress side.
I see the database still has all of the users in wp-users, and the passwords are updating.
The last action I took ‘knowingly’ was to delete a spammer user ID from my role about 2 weeks ago. I tried logging in a couple days later & no access. I’m not saying it is correlated…
I also remember fumbling through my Yahoo domain management page, and I recall resetting the PW for one of my DB’s (but not my wp DB).
So – I’m inclined to think that I either accidentally reset an administrative PW that allows the link between BB and WP to hit the same wp-users table?
Or – something far more nefarious from my spammer friends (who seem to be the ONLY readers of my blog…thank you!).
Thanks for any input / advise. I hope to have included all the relevant info.
Im using BBpress Version 1.0-alpha-6 with WP 2.7.1.. i also have it intergrated cookies and database.
At least the system can find the file now.
The Cannot redeclare errors are usually because a function of the same name has already been declared, thus it can’t be redeclared.
What versions did you integrate?
hey chris, thanks i just did that.. but i still get an error, it some what smaller though but its this:-
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _http_build_query() (previously declared in /home/eraxeco1/public_html/massbase.com/community/bb-includes/backpress/functions.compat.php:21) in /home/eraxeco1/public_html/massbase.com/wp-includes/compat.php on line 45
now i haven’t touched any other file, i havent touched compat.php either.
Try using the file path to the file rather than a relative path. The system is telling you it can’t find the file in that location. Try this:
require_once('/home/eraxeco1/public_html/massbase.com/community/bb-load.php');
Im using the latest alpha version, My wordpress is on root, and my forum is on a folder called /community.
I put this on wp-config.php :-
require_once('/community/bb-load.php');
im getting this error:-
Warning: require_once(/community/bb-load.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/eraxeco1/public_html/massbase.com/wp-config.php on line 2
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/community/bb-load.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /home/eraxeco1/public_html/massbase.com/wp-config.php on line 2
This?

Most of the posts I’ve seen have been old regarding including bbPress inside WordPress.
There is this for the newer alpha versions, but it only does a couple things:

Sorry, I deleted the first one as a dupe of this by mistake. Should have undeleted it. My mistake.
You can set a cookie and make it semi-permanent.
Because there is also a filter in that function, you do not need to hack the core.
$locale = apply_filters('locale', $locale);
You would make a mini-plugin something like this
add_filter('locale', 'language_switcher');
function language_switcher($locale) {
if (!empty($_REQUEST['lang'])) {$locale=substr(strip_tags(stripslashes($_REQUEST['lang'])),0,30);}
return $locale;
}
You still have to write the code to make some kind of pulldown/menu to select the language and set the cookie.
There is a language switcher for wordpress that could be ported to bbPress, I think there was some talk about it around here and someone else made their own too.
Oh here it is:

im getting the same error, but the reference above (chrishajer’s) doesnt help.
iv looked everywhere and the documentary, it just shows for WP functions to go in bbpress… i need a vice versa
i just want to add bbpress functions to wordpress what header files do i have to include where?
how can i use bbpress functions like: – <?php bb_new_topic_link(); ?> in my wordpress theme?
what header files do have to add where?
please dont delete this topic.
i would like to know how to do the other way round of adding BBPRESS functions in wordpress.
HI sway,
I dont think it does work like that. It’s a confusing name choice as a Category means something different in wordpress. Category in this instance means and equivalent of “section” or a parent group of forums so…
Category
– – Forum
– – – – Topic
– – Forum
– – – – Topic
– – – – Topic
– – Forum
– – – – Topic
If i can link to an old example i made (from September last year) , you can see that the different categories have forums as ‘children’: http://kevinjohngallagher.com/___alpha/bbpress_as_phpbb/
The reason the language does not match up is because .0.9.04 is not cookie compatible with WordPress 2.7.1. That’s why the keys are named differently.
To integrate those two versions, there are a couple solutions:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/freshly-baked-cookies/
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bayanimecom-wp26-and-bbpress-09-complete-cookie-integration
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101#post-17409 (the bold parts)
You might think this is another question about integrating bbPress with WordPress, but it’s not! I’m building a new website, and I would like to use bbPress as the support forums for it. The website has it’s own users table and stores the usernames as a varchar(255) and the passwords as varchar (255). All passwords are stored as sha1 hash. Basically what I want to do is to only have one place to login, that being on the main site, when the login is successful it’ll also set a cookie so the user may also use the bbPress forums. I would also like to use the avatar people upload to that site for the avatars on the forum. So here’s a few questions:
1. Is this even possible to set the cookie for bbPress from the login outside of bbPress?
2. Where should I start looking or poking?
3. For the avatars where should I start looking?
Thank you very much and if you need more information about my setup, please ask!!
Can you log in to WordPress?
What version of WordPress?
Did you try flushing all your browser cookies?
I admit, I’m using the same tool (but I force all registration through WP so I run a plugin there). It’s actually used with Bad-Behavior and Akismet, since those were catching about 90% of the forum spam (and 99.99999% of the blog spam). Dunno what it is but you get more spammers able to make accounts via bbPress than WordPress.
My bbpress shares a database with wordpress.
This was fine in 0.9.0.1. Is it a problem now?
I checked the database, reset my password (which in fact still works perfectly on the blog side of things).
At least one user has logged in and posted to the bbpress forum, but I can’t.
But I can’t login. I registered a new account, and the password did not work.
