You need to log in on the front page of your forum, as keymaster, and then next to your name, after you log in, will be a link to admin. Click that, and you’re in. If logging in does not show the admin link, then the user you are logged in as is not the keymaster.

Do not try to access the bb-admin/index.php directly. It doesn’t work like WordPress.

[leoleoleo]

logout and use bbPress login not wordpress.

“.mysite.com” should cover all subdomains.

Techincally .www.mysite.com is a subdomain.

I don’t know why it didn’t work for you

unless perhaps it was already “.www.mysite.com” on the WP side. They have to match.

thank u very much, Chris.

I thought you integrated themes with them.

anyway, it would be great of you if you could offer it for dummies.

It’s an elegant theme.

Got integration working under WP 2.5.1 and bbpress 0.9.0.2

I’d just like to make an observation regarding integration instructions for power users –

Instruction part 8 says: Copy all these items into the bottom of wp-config.php and edit as required:

$wp->cookiedomain = ‘.your-domain-name.com’;

define(COOKIE_DOMAIN,’.your-domain-name.com’);

// note the leading DOT – this is important

// we list both for WordPress legacy compatibility

Originally, I took this to mean:

$wp->cookiedomain = ‘.mysite.com’;

define(COOKIE_DOMAIN,’.mysite.com’);

It wasn’t working. However, once I changed it to:

$wp->cookiedomain = ‘.www.mysite.com’;

define(COOKIE_DOMAIN,’.www.mysite.com’);

and in bb-config.php:

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘.www.mysite.com’;

(adding the www part) It works perfectly fine now.

Hope this helps.

Can add bbPress poll into wordpress like Bbpress Latest Discussion and embed wordpress post?

I experimented for awhile with making a plugin that would make 2.6 work with the 2.5 cookies using a pluggable replacement but the task proved overwhelming. Then I tried making a replacement pluggable for bbPress to make it work with 2.6 cookies and that was just as insane too.

Unless your mods are concentrated into one file I wouldn’t recommend tampering with the core.

I don’t get the rush to WP 2.6 It’s getting terribly bloated.

I miss 2.0 – feature rich yet still lightweight.

[isaacgreenspan]

Though I hesitate to say this out loud, it is possible to integrate bbPress 0.9.0.2 with WordPress 2.6.x (I have a site running the two and logins to one part work in the other, cookies are properly set and cleaned up, etc.), BUT it requires plugins to both bbPress and WordPress (or, alternately, modification of core code) and I’d venture to guess that it might substantially weaken the cookie security introduced in WP2.6. If anyone is desperately interested, I can share details, but it’s messy.

[chrishajer]

Also, why are you loading bb-load.php into WordPress? Do you need to use bbPress functions inside WordPress?

[chrishajer]

To me this sounds like you are way off on the wrong track. I’ve never heard of anything like this before. I use a static front page for WordPress and have never had this problem.

Did you install bbpress and wordpress into separate folders? Is bbPress in a subfolder of WordPress?

Did you create an .htaccess for bbPress and are you using permalinks?

Is this relevant at all?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wordpress-mu-or-not-leads-to-404-errors-but-pages-still-load#post-13156

Not trying to distract you from the work you’re doing, but I’ve never heard of anyone going off in that direction before for a problem like this.

[jpope]

So I have confirmed that this happens even if I set both bbpress and wordpress to the default themes, so it is definitely not something in the themes I’ve customized.

I really wish I could find the code where wp is determining the post ID of the home/front page as I suspect that is the best place to start trying to tackle this.

[Mark Barnes]

I’ve set up dozens of bbpress forums, but this has got me stumped. This is a fresh install, with NO WordPress integration.

The install appears to work fine, but afterwards I cannot access the admin pages (it just redirects to the homepage). I AM a keymaster (I can see this from editing my profile). I do NOT have any .htaccess files anywhere.

I have tried everything I can think of – deleting bb-config.php, dropping all the tables, re-uploading all the files, even deleting the subdomain and database from the server and re-creating it.

This is BBPress 0.9.0.2, on Apache 2.2.9 (Linux) and PHP 5.2.6

[chrishajer]

It’s not available AFAIK. I was trying to search the forums here for the last time it was discussed but I can’t find it. It was a custom theme they had done by Happy Cog, I think.

[contoaberto]

hi,

I would really like to use the WordPress Forums <http://wordpress.org/support/&gt; theme at my bbPress forums. Is there anywhere I can download it?

[Daniel Juhl]

The same for me – right now, bbPress needs a lot to be the perfect community, but by time I’m sure it’ll be the one! And the fact, that its possible to integrate it with WordPress is great.

[peterve]

bbPress 0.9.0.2, WP 2.6.2, running on 2008 server

cookies may not work (due to the incompatibilities), but at least users can now log on just fine.

thanks for the link

Now I’m still faced with another problem : nobody can actually open a forum, post, profile or anything else,

(e.g. http://www.mysite.com/forum/forum.php?id=1)

then the page goes blank (browser looks like it’s trying to constantly reloading the page)

The admin panel works fine

This is a fresh install, integrated with WordPress, running in a separate folder (not as a subfolder of WP)

any ideas ?

or should I open an new post for this ?

[chrishajer]

What version of bbPress and WordPress did you integrate? There are cookie incompatibilities between some versions of bbPress and WordPress.

update

I have reinstalled bbpress in a new folder, outside the wordpress blog folder structure

the bbpress is integrated with the wordpress database, and uses the wordpress users

I have completed the installation, and I’m getting the first forum page, with the first forum, however I cannot log in (not with admin user, not with any other user). When clicking the “log in’ button, the page reloads and asks me to log in again

any ideas ?

[peterve]

I have installed bbPress in a subfolder of my wordpress blog.

Initial installation worked fine, integration seems to be ok (I can see wordpress users in my bbpress admin page etc)

When I try to open the first forum

http://www.mysite.com/forum/forum.php?id=1

then the page goes blank (browser looks like it’s trying to constantly reloading the page)

What is wrong here, how can I solve this ?

[jemradary]

Hello,

I am running WordPress 2.6.0 and bbPress 0.9.0.2 and I am not able to get the cookies to work. Know matter what I do I have to login to the forum even though I am logged into wordpress.

I have read and tried the documentation and the posts in this forum and still can’t figure it out.

I am willing to pay for some help on this if you feel you can fix it. I will pay via Paypal.

[_ck_]

Note that WP 2.5 / bbPress 0.9 uses a SINGLE key

WP 2.6 / bbPress 1.0 uses THREE different keys

[flywitness]

[gives up]

bring on the docs

[stealmycd-dot-com]

This is my installation structure

|–mydomain.comwordpressbbpress

I am using WP 2.5.1. and bbpress 0.9

1) Can someone please elaborate steps 3, 4, 5? They’re very vague.

2) What do I do about cookies if my structure is like above?

I pasted:

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/wordpress/’);

per the instructions listed in “settings -> WordPress Integration”

How do I know if the cookies are working correctly?

I have the other steps down correctly. I simply got lost at 3,4,5 and don’t know what to paste in my wp-config.php.

Any other tips will also be helpful. Thanks.

You go here to get your “secret key” (there’s three of them. https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, …

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, …

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, …

you place these in your wordpress wp-config.php file where the empty one were.

Then you post the keys inside the secret key box in the bb press installation wizard.

Or if you missed that part and your putting it directly into your bb-config.php file

you replace: define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, …

and everything after in on that LINE.

with: your three secret keys.

and that should fix everything, …that is if you have all your other wordpress – bbpress integration stuff lined up correctly
