In addition to the info in the previous post, I’ve looked at the cookies themselves.

I see that when I log in through bbpress, the cookies are from http://www.blahblah.com. When I log in through wordpress, it’s just blahblah.com (no www prefix). Under the configuration for both sites, http://www.blahblah.com is set as the main page. I also see that wordpress puts four cookies, while bbpress puts six. They both put wordpress_test_cookie and wordpress_logged_in_xxxxxxxxxxxx

but wordpress puts just two other ones, named wordpress_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the paths

/wp-content/plugins and /wp-admin

While bbpress also includes the bb-press directories. Is this why a login through wordpress does not get me access to the bbpress admin?

[blankpoint]

I’m having some trouble and am smacking my head against the wall… I hope someone can help me.

I’ve got WordPress 2.6.2 installed at http://www.blahblah.com/

and bbPress 1.0 alpha at http://www.blahblah.com/forum

They are in two databases sharing the user tables.

My problem is that the user must Log OUT from the site that he/she logged IN from. If they logged in at the bbPress login form, then they will be logged in properly on the wordpress site, but if they try to logout there, they will get kicked back to the main page, but STILL BE LOGGED IN. They will only be able to properly log out from bbPress. And the same is true in reverse — if they login from wordpress, they will be logged to the bbPress too, but they will have to log out from wordpress.

A second, less severe problem, but maybe it will help point to the reason for the above problem, is that if i sign in on wordpress, I will not be able to access the admin panel on the bbpress. I will be logged in as admin, and can perform admin functions on the site, but I cannot go to /bb-admin — I get kicked back out. However, if I sign in on bbPress, I CAN access my wordpress admin section.

Any ideas? My wp-config and bb-config files have the definitions for SECRET_KEY, AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY (with BB_ prefixed for the bb-config ones).

They also both have

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.blahblah.com');

define('COOKIEPATH', '/');

Is this correct? It should be the same for both?

One thing that might be the root of the problem, or at least I was not sure about, is the setting for “WordPress “secure auth” cookie salt ” in the WordPress integration settings in bbPress. I have left this blank because I have no such entry on my options.php page in WordPress. I did fill in the other two “salt” items, though. I confess that I don’t really understand what this salt stuff is for, but any advice would be appreciated.

I’m on 1&1 hosting, if that makes any difference.

Syntax highlighter. There’s Geshi and Google plugins available for WordPress.

_ck_ told me how to port them over but I’ve been too busy to do so yet (and it’s not a pressing issue atm. But it will be in the future…)

[Sam Bauers]

You have too much code. You have duplicated the function by the looks of things. Filters don’t work that way.

Try this documentation on the plugin API for more info:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API

[Sam Bauers]

WordPress and bbPress use the PHPass hashing mechanism to store passwords in the database.

You can also “odwngrade” the password hashing to MD5 using this plugin…

[Sam Bauers]

WordPress actually keeps a reference to the old URL and sets up a redirect automatically I believe. So there it stays permanent. We don’t do that yet.

[Sam Bauers]

Not really, bbPress and WordPress themes aren’t compatible without some work. I am trying to steer people away from loading WordPress “inside” bbPress.

Much better approach is to port your WordPress theme across to bbPress.

[chrishajer]

That won’t work for cookie and user integration.

[inflatables]

Good nice.

wordpress 2.6 + bbP 0.9.0.2

Is that OK?

[chrishajer]

It’s hard to tell if there’s an error in an edited bb-config.php. I have seen where the secret keys are not properly escaped, and that creates a PHP problem. As you’ve posted it (edited) it works fine.

I just did an svn checkout of r1736 and that included backpress r153, which is what’s available at the URL you posted.

Mine installed cleanly. I did not integrate with WordPress. You can see a one minute video of the installation here:

http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/1736/

I suspect a problem with the secret keys in the bb-config.php. Or some other syntax problem with the bb-config.php. If you have a command line with php you can run

php -l bb-config.php

to check that file for syntax errors. That’s “php dash el”, l for Lint.

[cabal79]

Well I used yesterdays Trunk Release (1736) and the Backpress folder from here: http://svn.automattic.com/backpress/trunk/includes/

Is there anything else I’d have to add to the Trunk that I possibly missed?

I don’t really think that the bb-config syntax is wrong because it’s working with the Alpha just fine.

Anyways, the code for what it’s worse:

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define('BBDB_NAME', 'xxxxx');      // The name of the database

define('BBDB_USER', 'xxxxx');     // Your MySQL username

define('BBDB_PASSWORD', 'xxxxx'); // ...and password

define('BBDB_HOST', 'localhost');    // 99% chance you won't need to change these last few



define('BBDB_CHARSET', 'utf8');      // If you are *upgrading*, and your old bb-config.php does

define('BBDB_COLLATE', '');          // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them

// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here



// Change each KEY to a different unique phrase.  You won't have to remember the phrases later,

// so make them long and complicated.  You can visit https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm

// to get phrases generated for you, or just make something up.  Each key should have a different phrase.

// If you are integrating logins with WordPress, you will need to match each key to

// the value of their equivalent keys in the WordPress file wp-config.php

define('BB_AUTH_KEY', 'xxxxx'); // Change this to a unique phrase.

define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'xxxxx'); // Change this to a unique phrase.

define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'xxxxx'); // Change this to a unique phrase.



// If you are running multiple bbPress installations in a single database,

// you will probably want to change this.

$bb_table_prefix = 'bb_'; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!



// Change this to localize bbPress.  A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to 'de'

// to enable German language support.

define('BB_LANG', '');



?>

Thanks for helping out!

Do you have access to server logs? If you’re getting a blank screen, it’s probably a 500 Internal Server Error. Maybe there’s a problem with one of your WordPress templates.

[sowmithrii]

no.. its not a wp blog. it’s my own site completed coded by me…

is there any way??

or if can i know about the type of encryption wordpress is using for encrypting the password. I am having the wordpress software , but unable to debug all the pages……

[keress]

No, I can access the admin of the blog, and I can access the forum. But the blog pages/posts all comes up as a blank screen.

[sowmithrii]

Hi, Am new to this site and hope am posting this query in right place.

I recently downloaded bbpress forum software . The integration was successfull with wordpress . But I want the users in my website to access the forum without need of registering in it again.

I dint find any means of achieving this. Can anyone help…

I tried changing the forum code., but i think it is not a good idea.

CHeeRS,

sowmithrii

[chrishajer]

So, you can access the forum and the blog? Is everything back to normal?

[M.K. Safi]

I did a search around the forum and I couldn’t see an easy way to embed bbPress within a WordPress page.

Is this gonna be possible in future releases?

Thanks,

[M.K. Safi]

I think I’m asking for theme integration.

I have seen other WordPress forums where you create a page, insert a one line HTML(?) code, and the forum will appear in that page. I was wondering if something similar can be done with bbPress, so that I can make it appear within my theme, here. Thanks,

[keress]

Another note, the Internal Server Error yesterday was fixed by correcting the .htaccess file.

At present it reads:

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

[keress]

Oh wow, I am able to get into my wordpress admin.

[keress]

Yes, wp-config.php is on the root, bb-config.php is off the root in a /bbpress folder.

Other than opening the wp.config.php to check on secret keys and all that, I haven’t done anything with it.

Yesterday, I did move the wordpress install to the root. I had worked out all the kinks though, and everything was working well. I did have an Internal Server Error for awhile though, but that was fixed. It was discussed here, https://wordpress.org/support/topic/205960?replies=13#post-862375

I looked at the error.log. I’m assuming it notes military time. There were some files not found this morning as I’d expect. Nothing from this afternoon.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I appreciate it.

[chrishajer]

What does your directory structure look like? Where did you put bbPress, and where is WordPress? Does it look like this:

/var/www/htdocs/wordpress/wp-config.php

/var/www/htdocs/wordpress/bbpress/bb-config.php

Did you modify the wp-config.php file at all? Do you have access to error logs? A blank screen is likely a 500 Internal Server Error.

If you can’t see the sites, you have bigger problems than just integrated logins. You should be able to view the WordPress site and the bbPress forum without logging in.

[keress]

I was just about finished integrating bbpress with our wordpress installation. I had not called up the wordpress site during most of this process. When I did try to call it up, a white screen came up, no error messages, nothing, just white.

It had just been working fine before I began installing bbpress, but I had just gotten locked out of login (again) and followed these instructions: “To fix bbpress, you need phpmyadmin or a similar tool. Login, go to your bbpress database. Not certain what it’s like on 0.9, but you probably need to go to the bb_topicmeta table and perform a search (or browse through) to find a record where the meta_key is wp_table_prefix. Try deleting that record. Without that setting I think bb would look for its own users again. ” http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/doing-integration-cant-login-in-bbpress

Not sure if that’s what broke the wordpress installation. What should I try? Should I go back into phpMyAdmin and try to add that record back in? Should I just uninstall bbpress and start over again?

[chrishajer]

Yes, it’s pretty friendly, especially with Permalinks on. Are there specific concerns you’re trying to address?

There are also a couple SEO plugins for bbPress floating around if you’d like to make it even better.

[chrishajer]

@sambauers – but we’re used to WordPress where they’re pretty easy to change in the admin.
