*couldn’t edit my previous post anymore – hence the double*

Hehe, I’m mighty proud now! I figured I’d check the config-files for both installation and see whether the information was matched or not (not having any idea what so ever if that could be the problem) and I found the different security-keys wasn’t identical – so I fixed that.

Now I have commenced mapping the role-maps and everything seems to be on track again. Thanks a lot for this guide and for making the systems compatible, saved me (well probably) an immense amount of time!

[karlo]

Well, the installation (with full wp-integration) went as smooth as it could have, but the index.php doesn’t want to load. Not even when fully referred to in the URL (/forums/index.php).

My ftp-client sees the full installation and the content of the file seems to be ok. What settings could cause this error other than the URL actually not being valid, though I can’t figure out why that should be?

EDIT: I found that Firefox can open and read the readme.txt and licence.txt just fine, but it wont execute the php-files properly… this is just wierd?? What the heck did I miss here?

The password normally contains special characters and that’s fine. That’s how I can usually tell if the bbPress is an old version or new version, based on the password being sent out when you register.

There is no problem with having special characters in the secret keys: it’s just that if they’re not properly escaped, the server will choke on the config file because the bb-config.php does not have proper syntax.

So, make sure the keys are the same for WordPress and bbPress, make sure the bb-config.php is syntactically correct (php -l bb-config.php from a Linux command line) and then figure out why you can’t log in.

You can also make the secret keys really short and easy to compare while testing to see if that’s the problem.

It’s also worthwhile to check any php file you edited for the proper syntax. Maybe once you log in, you are being served another page that has a syntax error (a template file?) and that is causing the blank screen.

Also, access to error logs will help with this, if you have them.

If beta is the new stable (thanks Google) then alpha is the new beta?

In a test installation (just copy all your WordPress files and database) you can’t really hurt anything. Just use it and see if it works enough for you.

[karlo]

I guess I’ll try then, “beta” is the new “stable” nowdays anyway, how bad could it get ^^

EDIT: wp is installed in /blog, what is the recommended path for the bbPress in that case, if any?

[chrishajer]

My advice would be to install it in a test instance and use it. See how unstable it is for yourself. Only you can make the determination if it’s ready enough for you or not.

[karlo]

I have a fresh installation of the latest release of WordPress and integrating it with an installation of bbPress seems to be easy enough for a non-hacker like myself.

But, how unstable is the 1.0 alpha of bbPress really? The site I’m working on is to be a soon-to-be-released homepage for a choir that will use it mainly for news, recruiting and general talk. Would you rather advice me to go for the wp 2.5.1 + bbPress 0.9 version?

[saturnstroll]

I’ve seen tutorials about “how to” setup osCommerce, and put WordPress inside.

My question is:

Can you setup bbPress, then put ocCommerce INSIDE bbPress?

How do you recommend I setup these two components? (bbPress & osCommerce)

Thanks

I just installed the latest stable release of bbpress and integrated it with wordpress 2.5.1. After setting up the integration, I immediately was logged out and couldn’t log back in with my keymaster. I searched the forums and tried everything that was suggested such as the plugin, adding a line to bb-config.php, and trying to edit phpmyadmin usermeta. I don’t know why the plugin didn’t work since my keymaster is at ID#1. And editing through phpmyadmin was useless since my usermeta was already set to keymaster. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled and keep getting the same results.

[Detective]

Pilola, you could use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gaming-codes/

I use it here: http://www.ryuuko.cl/bbpress/ (see the “nuestros usuarios” links).

[ramym]

Hmm, I’m pretty stupid, I think. Didn’t even see the sticky, so I’m trying BBPress 1.0 alpha now. Hope that will work.

[orizine]

no more problem, whith some modifications i had done what iwante

[benzilla069]

Yeah I’m currently just messing about with it at the moment, I’ve stripped it down to what I believe are the bare essentials… please note I don’t have any PHP experience but I do have other languages like C under my belt so I’m getting the hang of it ok.

I got rid of the error, but it’s not propogating to the correct forum(I used the forum ID of 2 and I also tried just plain old “Site Posts” as the forum) need to debug some more, fel do you recognise anything plainly wrong with my hacked up code?

[ramym]

Hello,

I just managed uploading and installing BBPress in a subdirectory of WordPress. Everything works just fine, and when you sign up on WordPress, you will also be able to log in with that account on BBPress, but there’s one problem:

When you log in on WordPress, and you go to BBPress, you have to log in again. So, members have to sign in 2 times, on the same account, one time for WordPress and one time on BBPress.

I’m running WordPress 2.6. In wp-config.php there was no SECRET_KEY. There was an AUTH_KEY and a SECURE_AUTH_KEY, but there was a BB_SECRET_KEY in bb-config.php. So, what should I do in wp-config.php?

I tried to define SECRET_KEY myself, but that didn’t work. The ‘code’ in SECRET_KEY in wp-config.php is the same as BB_SECRET_KEY in bb-config.php, but it still doesn’t work.

I hope it’s a little clear what my problem is.

Thanks,

Ramy

This is completely out of left field with this suggestion, but I had similar problems with the redirection errors like you but I don’t use WPMU so this might not apply.

I honestly can’t remember if I changed any of the chmod settings, I think I might of changed them all the files to 777.

But also in the setup when it asks you in the wordpress integration stage when it asks you to fill in the xxx_xxx_salt settings from the wordpress just leave them blank.

Might help for you.

[fel64]

Is there a problem with your wordpress install too?

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.

[orizine]

Just to explain why i’ve made a new installation, but i’ve made a mistake in the Prefixe db of my WP installation, and i would like to modify it is it possible?

[chrishajer]

That’s weird. There is not “Add New” link and also no “Reply” to an existing topic.

Have you tried without including the WordPress wp-blog-header.php to see if it’s different like that. I have 1.0 alpha installed and it doesn’t act like this. It doesn’t include the WordPress header though.

[geekymom]

I’ve tried this a number of times. I can get bbpress 1.0 alpha installed on a test server without wordpress integration. When I move to another server, I’ve run into a number of problems. They aren’t the same problems every time, which is driving me crazy.

The most common problem I have is at some point during the installation process, I get a “The page isn’t redirecting properly” error. I get this most often at the very last stage of installation, but I’ve also gotten it after the first step. The last time I got this error at the last stage, I received a chmod and a could not modify headers error.

The current page is at http://forums.brynmawr.edu

I’m guessing we could have an error with our web server. I’m not a sys admin, so I’m not entirely sure where to check. Any ideas that I can pass on to our sys admin would be most appreciated.

Hello! This is my very first bbpress theme. It is based off of the WordPress theme “Modmat” (http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/modmat#post-27) by chrismou (http://mou.me.uk/)

Like I said, this is my first theme, so ANY constructive criticism is MUCH appreciated. Also, if you find any kind of mistakes, please let me know!

This theme was designed for both 0.9.0.2 and 1.0 Alpha.

I did cleare the cookies and cache but was not able to signin even in wordpress.

I ll try by restarting the pc after clearing all cookies and cache. In fact i use 2 to 3 browsers at a time. IE , Opera, and safari.

[chrishajer]

Have you tried clearing your cookies? Since you changed the keys for WordPress and bbPress, the cookies will be different and your old ones might be fouling things up.

You can also contact me off list and I might be able to help you.

[hanjra]

Ok i tell you what i did… i replaced the BB_Secret_key with only alphabetic and numeric but even then i couldnt login.

Then i changed the keys of wordpress too with alphabetic and numberic only but then i couldnt login to wordpress too. I was having same login problem and same error message as i am having with bbpress.

So then i replaced the wp-config file with old one and then i was able to login. Problem still exists with bbpress.

Please read my above post too and tell me what to do thanks a lot for this help.

[hanjra]

Thanks for this.. yes that is right i was using that wordpress key… now tell me ,, will i have to change the key of my wordpress too or only i need to change the key of bbpress. Or i ll have to remove all the bbpress tables and then install again or just change the key only.

ps: if i want to integrate the bbpress with wordpress then what will i have to do.. to change the key of wordpress too??

[chrishajer]

If you used the WordPress secret key generator API to create the keys for WordPress and are using those keys for bbPress, it’s entirely possible the key works fine in WordPress but not bbPress.
