WP doesn’t necessarily have an .htaccess file, does it? I’m not seeing one here, so what other file could be involved?

The site is http://www.addiva.net. The wordpress address is http://www.addiva.net/blog

The wordpress blog is also set to http://www.addiva.net/blog.

I have a similar logout issue. My WP and BB are integrated. I can login at the WP site and go to the BB site without issue. I can then logout of the BB site, but when I jump back to WP, I am still logged in.

oops! Just spent ages upgrading my blog today to 2.6 which broke an afternoon’s work I spent a while back integrating with BB press 0.9. Thankfully the 1.0 Alpha release isn’t too far away

[_ck_]

The problem is WordPress 2.6 re-used the existing cookie name but with a different format and calculation (and purpose). It was not the brightest design move on their part. Had they chosen a new cookie name, your idea would be valid.

At the rate Sam and MDA are working, I suspect there will be a stable enough bbPress 1.0 alpha by the end of this month (which will work with – actually require – WordPress 2.6).

A few other people have reported the profile bug. I will ask them to investigate.

[842113]

Sorry to be mildly off topic, but with regard to the cookie issue, is it not possible to create an interface cookie? Like a simple plugin that creates a cookie in WP 2.6 to interface with the BB cookie? Just as a quickfix?

(as an aside, I signed up with a wordpress.org account and I can login here at bbpress, but when i try to view my profile, I get an error at a bbpress page. This error also occurs when I view my profile from wordpress.org. I’m wondering if this is an integration bug as well)

[_ck_]

Using the same database is fine and actually the easiest way. You must be using the same user table.

Follow the Integration 101 steps to make your cookies match.

Make sure you are not using wordpress 2.6 which is incompatible with the cookies from bbPress 0.9

[_ck_]

.htaccess is definitely a suspect

if you gave it write access, WordPress may have even updated it for you after you made some kind of configuration change

Turning off pretty permalinks may give you a temporary fix.

[_ck_]

Version 1.0 of bbPress will have built in support for display names like WordPress. By some weird design bbPress has no mechanism to delete users so you just set it inactive and make a new user for now.

[_ck_]

That’s what I call reverse integration and it definitely can be done but you are going to have to decide which user table you want to use – you cannot merge them. You’ll either have to use WordPress’s or bbPress. Then you can either rename the usertable or make very specific settings inside bb-config.php and wp-config.php to point to the new table.

Daft question time… I’ve recently built a site based on WordPress 2.6 and want to launch soon, so BBPress integration is out of the question for now. However, I don’t want to use another forum system in it’s place.

So… my question is, If I have a standalone BBPress installation now, is it easy to integrate it with my WordPress installation later on when BBPress gets upgraded or is it going to be a major hassle?

Thanks all!

To get quicker help, you should post your URL.

It might be something in the wp-admin control panel, under settings > general. The Blog address or WordPress address. Or, maybe you overwrote a file that was doing the redirection. Or possibly changed the .htaccess file. Something like that.

I experimented a bit with setting up the wp/bbpress integration over the weekend. I can’t get back to it for the next few days but something’s gone awry I need to fix asap. I’m thinking I must have altered something in the wp configuration because since then when we try to access the wp main blog page, the home page we’ve set up comes up instead. I checked the wp-config.php against a previous version and there’s no difference there. Can anybody suggest any other files/settings I may have changed while going through the integration setup that could have an effect on wordpress like this?

Chris can u help me? Pleaseee…..excuse me for the “up” post

[810039]

In fact, I get an error of “username does not exist” and am troubled.

The upshot was the same even if I returned it to WordPress 2.5.1_ja.

When can keep inputting an arbitrary account name by installation of ‘bbpress’; database error “ bbPress database error:

I become・・・・

［Table ‘databasename.bb_posts’ doesn’t exist “, and installation cannot be completed.］

An installation procedure is bad or is that it is a bug of BBpress0.9.0.2 the problem of the server side?

I want to take a possible cause investigation and measures.

Thanking you in advance

OK, I’m not sure this is the right place for this but here goes.

I’ve already set up my site. My home page is a wordpress blog that is integrated with bbpress. The bulk of the site is plain html pages. I find that when I pull a post out of wp and put it in a streamlined html page google does a better job of picking adds that match the content and I get more clicks on advertising. Now the question/problem. I want to keep the comments at the bottom of each post after I’ve moved it over to html. They are still there in bbpress and I can place a link to the forum, but I would much prefer to have the comments visible at the bottom of each post. If this is going to be too much work for someone literate in html, semi-literate in php and illiterate in css, then is there someone that can and will write a hack for it?

[davidbaldwin]

ok, i downgraded from wordpress 2.6 to wordpress 2.5.1, and now I’m getting a “This username does not exist.” in bbpress when I try and log in. I can log into wordpress just fine, just not bbpress.

http://lifelightcam.com/bbpress/

what gives?

[chrishajer]

I just tried this same thing to see if I could recreate the problem. I renamed my bbpress folder, then navigated to the new URL. The forum came up. I tried to log in; I was redirected to the OLD url and got a WordPress 404 page since there is no page there.

Then, I added the line that _ck_ recommended in bb-config.php:

$bb->uri = ‘http://your-domain-name.com/forum-path/’;

And I navigated to the new URL again. The forum came up. Then I tried to log in, and I logged in fine. In the admin, in the settings tab, the new URL is there (the one I entered in the bb-config.php, per _ck_’s suggestion.)

If this was not your experience, maybe you have a problem with permalinks or mod_rewrite rules. Try turning permalinks off and navigating to the forum again.

p.s. I didn’t do anything with the cookies, and I do not have an integrated installation. Just a WordPress site with a forum in a sub-directory.

[810798]

thanks _ck_,

It seems to be a problem with when you include the wp-config… There must be a check somewhere in one of the files included in it that checks if that has been registered or is a banned blog, and wp-admin must be hardcoded in somewhere to be a safe directory.. i just havent had time to go through and look for where that happens.. been making a bunch of other customizations instead, as this problem can be solved by just using sub-domains..

That wpmu tag is going to be your best friend:

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/wpmu

Not many people with wpmu experience here.

I know Trent Adams uses it though (he’s also on IRC)

Also, wpmu 2.6 is a no-go with bbPress 0.9 because of cookies.

[chriskalani]

@Crowspeaker,

Very interesting! I am really excited for this. I wonder if they are going to work on bbpress integration as well for this.

[crowspeaker]

@chriskalani,

I think that’s what the buddypress initiative is about.

https://buddypress.org/

[chriskalani]

hmmm… yeah. So it sounds like everyone wants it. Now we just need to find someone awesome who can make it happen.

On a side note… it would be really cool if they released a 3rd product focused more around community. Basically just an integrated bundle of bbpress and wordprss with maybe some additional integrated features. That would kick so much butt!! Drupal sucks… so does everything else. But I might end up using it if the main feature I am looking for doesn’t exist.

[chrishajer]

This is the last I heard about that:

[chriskalani]

I would love something like this. In fact; That is the exact functionality I was looking for and ended up looking into Drupal. I still haven’t done anything with it yet… but if I could find a bbpress/wp solution, that would be so cool!
