I am trying to install the bbpress tool. I am not very skilled at what I am doing, kind of learn as you go. I have a site vuuch.com and a wp blog at vuuch.com/wordpress. I now want to install bbpress. I have downloaded the install, extracted it and copied to /forum. When i go there I am asked a bunch of things I am not real sure about. This is where I am stuck. My wp blog was installed using godday app installer, so I was removed from so details…

I get “There doesn’t seem to be a bb-config.php file. This usually means that you want to install bbPress” which I think is normal. There is a bb-config-sample.php file at the location.

Questions:

What is the database it is looking for? My guess is i either point it at the wp db or create another one. I would like to create another, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO THIS???

If there are other things I will need to know on the next few step, please point them out.

I think I need to use something call c-panel to create the db but I am not sure nor do I know how to run this…

Thanks so much

I’m using a translator, I would like to import my phpbb 3 for wordpress the easy way and practice …

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I have this:

$bb->wp_home = 'http://ipstenu.org';

Since I did this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory ages and ages ago.

But the rest, essentially, yes

@lorenzo: Let me ask a question to clarify. If I understand correctly, it sounds like you want to import your blog posts from WordPress and make them topic posts in bbPress?

@everyone: I am dedicating this evening to trying to work out where the process is failing. Right now, if you do NOT need to use ANY of the WordPress functions in your bbPress theme, the integration works perfectly. Logging in and out of either/or works perfectly with wp2.7 and bbp1.0a2. If you skip step 5 in my above process, there are no operational issues, only theme integration issues by not being able to use the WordPress functions.

let me clean up what i said above

i just did another test

it happened that, if you created abc123 from bbpress

you can’t login wordpress (it will turned to cookie error, i am using firefox)

you will have to first use admin account, and then go to site-admin -> users, and make abc123 from No role to one of the role, let’s say editor.

now, you can login

and also, i can’t login at the same time

i can’t login abc123 in wordpress but bbpress is still not login yet.

why

[jwxie]

hey klarko, thanks a lot

just another quick question

everything went fine, i did everything in the admin panel

now, when i tested registration in bbpress, it worked, but i tried to login from wordpress, doesn’t work

i mean i created a new user name abc from bbpress

it worked in bbpress,. but i can’t login in from wordpress mu

is that the case? or something went wrong?

I am trying to install bbPress version 0.9.0.2

Installation URL: http://forums.seocoalition.com

Hosting data:

Operating system Linux

Apache version 2.2.10 (Unix)

PHP version 5.2.6

MySQL version 5.0.51

So it goes through the whole process and completes it, but when you go to the main page, there is nothing. No error messages, no output, nothing at all.

Since I don’t know what the problem is, I am at a lost as to what to do. I search of the forums hasn’t provided any answers.

Here is the end of installer message:

Referrer is OK, beginning installation…

Step 1 – Creating database tables

>>> Create table bb_forums

>>> Create table bb_posts

>>> Create table bb_topics

>>> Create table bb_topicmeta

>>> Create table bb_users

>>> Create table bb_usermeta

>>> Create table bb_tags

>>> Create table bb_tagged

Step 2 – WordPress integration (optional)

>>> Integration not enabled

Step 3 – Site settings

>>> Site name: Internet Marketing forums

>>> Site address (URL): http://forums.seocoalition.com/

>>> From email address: seocoalition@gmail.com

>>> Key master created

>>>>>> Username: admin

>>>>>> Email address: seocoalition@gmail.com

>>>>>> Password: XXXXXXXXXXX

>>> Description: Just another bbPress community

>>> Forum name: SEOC

>>>>>> Topic: Your first topic

>>>>>>>>> Post: First Post! w00t.

>>> Key master email sent

Installation complete!

For security reasons I have X’d out the password.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

klarko, may i ask you a question

for the wpmu, did you just use the default integration provided by the bbpress installation?

and for the wordpress url and blog url, what do you write?

i mean, if i have a couple blogs already,which one should i use?

will i miss any user if i choose one not the other 3 blogs?

I’m not a fan of XML-RPC myself but it’s a feature Matt wanted to pioneer. He mentioned it in one of his first announcements about bbPress. He wanted some features no other forum has. Given that it’s his “baby” he can guide it in any direction he feels fit of course.

bbPress is just like WordPress in one major way – if you don’t like something, or want to make it better – get coding.

WordPress didn’t have documentation for YEARS. You can find many complaints about it. Even as recent as 2.0 I believe. But look at it now.

bbPress is the same way. And in a couple years, newcomers will wonder what the heck you were complaining about.

Last but not least, in fact most importantly, you’re working with a pre 1.0, pre-release project – what exactly are you expecting? Features aren’t even locked in yet.

I only learned PHP a few years ago and I figured out how to code for bbPress, 100% without documentation. If I can do it, anyone can.

Hi John – _CK_’s pluging bring up related topics, but this plugin only works in bbPress.

I’m after a plugin that shows related topics on a WordPress article (so you’d be able to show related posts and related topics on the forum).

[_ck_]

Their server might have networked storage (NFS) which WordPress runs poorly on. bbPress 1.0 will have similar issues because of the sheer number of files.

But try installing bb-benchmark on the bbPress side and try this great-grandfather of bb-benchmark on the WordPress side (jeromes-query-diagnostics). I’ve been too busy to port bb-benchmark back to wordpress unfortunately.

@techypenguin: What do you mean, “Thanks but the quiries doesnt work” – you need to get it to work to see if that’s part of the problem. Then you need to figure out where the extra queries are coming from.

[_ck_]

You probably need to see a breakdown of queries between bbPress and WordPress to understand what’s going on. There may be a plugin in WordPress that’s causing it to lag for you.

But in general, bbPress 0.9 is faster than WordPress 2.3-2.7

It’s similar in concept WordPress 2.0 before it got bloated with too many “features” that should have been optional plugins.

bbPress 1.0 unfortunately will change that and slow down somewhat because of a radical increase in complexity and a doubling of the number of files needed to load to execute a page. Mysql queries will also increase by at least 50%

1.0 will be easier to cache however so that will probably compensate.

[techypenguin]

Thanks but the quiries doesnt work. might be because of my theme. anyway, most of the paid server out there are much faster than the virtualhost. all other cms template like phpbb3 and mambo i’ve tried are slower than the previous version of them. i already max out my cache on the server but it’s still slow . sometime it’s crash after a week or so. dont have budget for the bladeserver though.haha

I have a new bbpress forum integrated with WordPress 2.5.

I have 2 topics and 2 posts so far. However ,when I go into the admin panel and click on Manage and Topics and/or Posts there is nothing listed. It looks fine on the Forums page but nothing under Topics and Posts.

Why is that? How do I fix it?

Thanks!

[chrishajer]

More queries in WordPress vs. bbPress?

You can add this to your template footer.php (one for WordPress and one for bbPress) files and it will add a comment that is visible in the source with the amount of time taken and how many queries it took to generate the page.

bbPress

<!-- It took <?php bb_timer_stop(1); ?> and <?php echo $bbdb->num_queries; ?> queries -->

 

WordPress

<!-- It took <?php timer_stop(1); ?> and <?php echo get_num_queries(); ?> queries -->

 

Maybe you can spot some differences there.

[chrishajer]

No, I meant what I said. A lot of sites are just WordPress sites, so example.com/ gets you WordPress and example.com/bbpress/ gets you bbPress.

The point was only to show the relationship between the folders though. With this information, you can probably figure out where it all needs to go.

[techypenguin]

Thanks for this forum integration into WP.

Just what we needed for the blog.

I have one question here….

Why is BBpress much faster than WordPress?

They are freshly installed into a same debian server and wordpress would take a while to load. Most amazingly BBpress just take les than a second to load. Anyone got suggestions?

[kevinjohngallagher]

Sadly not mate.

I know what you’re thinking.

Something like : https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags

But no, it’s all guess work.

[kevinjohngallagher]

I know what you’re thinking, that it probably *should* be mentioned either here:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

or

https://bbpress.org/download/

but it’s not

BBpress, great software, also useful for testing your abilities to mind read!

[John James Jacoby]

That is why…

2.6x and .9 series won’t integrate or play nice together…

You could either go back to the 2.5 series of WordPress, or move up to the 1.0 beta version of bbPress…

[nookingtons]

BBPress Version- 0.9.0.2

Wordpress Version- 2.6.3

[John James Jacoby]

Which versions of bbPress and WordPress are you using?
