I updated my web site today to bbPress 0.9.0.2 and WordPress 2.5.1. Cookie integration settings got out of whack and I put them back, but now the two are in conflict.

I’ve verified (by clearing cookies and watching as new cookies are registered) that both bbPress and WordPress are using the same cookie for login info — same name, path, etc.

However, when logging into WordPress I am logged out of bbPress, and when logging into bbPress I am logged out of WordPress. So they appear to be using the same cookie and overwriting it as I login to each section.

Note that the SECRET_KEY and BB_SECRET_KEY definitions in each respective config files are identical.

The cookie seems to be broken up into three parts: user name, a shortish numerical code (in decimal), and a long hexadecimal code. The name and shortish numerical code are identical between bbPress and WordPress but the long hex code changes every time. Does this help provide a clue?

It would depend on how often the RSS feed is cached by the WordPress plugin.

Good luck!

Hey bobby, thanks for the links to RSS aggregator plugin. The only problem I see is synchronizing the feed. For example, if you edit the post in bbPress, will it automatically update it in the WordPress loop also? Or will you have to manuallly edit it in WordPress also. I will have to investigate and see.

[bobbyh]

That would work. A quick Google search found this under #3:

* http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-20-wordpress-plugins-for-power-users/

The download is here:

I’ve never used it, but it looks like what you want.

Good luck!

[mrhoratio]

Now that I think about it, is there a way to do this by pulling the RSS free from bbPress into WordPress? What do you think?

[mrhoratio]

Hey bobby, thanks. This is close to what I want to do, but I’d like to be able to combine select forum posts and blog posts into a single list. Maybe there’s way to modify the plugin to do so?

[bobbyh]

This isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, but it lets you put a list of your bbpress topics in a sidebar on your WordPress site:

Hello everyone,

I want to display a bbPress forum topic within The Loop in WordPress. The idea is that it would appear as an excerpted blog entry like the others, but when you click the permalink, it would take you to the corresponding bbPress forum topic page where you can post comments.

For example, it would be great if there was to query bbPress forum topics that are tagged with “front page”, and display those forum posts together with blog posts within WordPress in chronological order.

The best scenario would be a little “Show in WordPress Loop” checkbox that you can check next to individual forum topics in bbPress. That way you can select certain topics to link to on the WordPress front page.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to do this? Would this be possible with a plugin of some kind?

[pulk99]

just upgraded to 0.9.0.2, and it’s working again. not sure if it was the bbpress update or the 2.5.1 wordpress update.

[affacat]

Not sure what you mean – the code I had above should do what I say it did, it just didn’t do what I wanted.

That said? I now have it working the way I wanted.

This code:

Gets the bbPress avatar, if it exists.

Checks to see if it’s an Identicon…

No? Display it.

Yes? Display Gravatar… but with the URL of the Identicon set as the default in case none exists.

Problem solved.

Note: I believe Gravatar recently integrated Identicons as a default setting, so you can probably do this now without Identicons setup in bbPress by modifying the code some. But this works.

PROFILE.PHP:

$ava = avatarupload_get_avatar($user->ID,1,1,0);

if ( avatarupload_get_avatar($user->ID) && !(usingidenticon($user->ID) )) {

avatarupload_display($user->ID);

}

else {

echo bb_get_avatar($user->ID,48,$ava[0]);

}

POST.PHP:

$ava = avatarupload_get_avatar(get_post_author_id(),1,1,0);

if ( avatarupload_get_avatar(get_post_author_id()) && !(usingidenticon(get_post_author_id()) )) {

avatarupload_display(get_post_author_id());

}

else {

post_author_avatar(48,$ava[0]);

}

Hi,

I am looking for a similar theme to wordpress blog’s default theme. Anyone has it for bbpress ?

Thanks.

[enquirer32]

I’m using the latest versions of bbpress and WordPress. I intalled bbpress to be integrated with WP. however, when I click over from the WordPress site to the bbpress site I am not already logged in. Is there a list to troubleshoot to see why this happening? I have done as much as I can do so far (eg checking secret words etc).

More irritatingly I find that I’ve been logged out of the WP site when I go back.

Thx.

[gerikg]

It was me the last time. The problem with adding

<?php bb_head(); ?>

is that you get this when you visit the main site which is wordpress.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bb_head() in /homepages/0/d188981313/htdocs/kiaspeed2/wordpress/wp-content/themes/colorimetry/header.php on line 10

I tried to post this in the comments off the plugin homepage, but Extend won’t recognize my login. Weird.

Anyway – if you are running 0.9 and plugin browser, you probably see no version listed for all plugins in the ‘Local’ column. This is due to a change in how bbpress stores the plugin paths in the DB (_ck_ clued me into that) The fix is easy. In the main plugins-browser.php file, add ‘user#’ before pb– or pb– on lines 681 (in the preg_replace statement) and line 698 ($plugin) Once I did that, the browser worked fine with correct version info, showed updates that existed, and installed them no problem.

I’m sure the WordPress plugin update stuff will make it into bbpress soon, negating the need for this plugin (to a point – the browse part is still great) but until then – this will get you going.

You’re stuck with the default of ‘none’ if your server doesn’t support mod_rewrite or Options +MultiViews. You can read about setting up permalinks here if your server supports either of those.

Setting up permalinks on bbPress is not as straightforward as it is on WordPress, but they’re working on it.

Muchas gracias ggnard

Yo también empecé a traducirlo pero, a falta de saber si se pueden combinar varios catálogos .po, preferí esperarme a la nueva versión de la traducción. La que hay en el SVN creo que es de la 0.8.3… por eso lo dejé ya que en WordPress el cambio de versiones en algunas ocasiones no era del todo compatible e imagino que en BBPress tampoco

PD: Ahora que caigo… estoy usando la que tenía acabada de la 0.8.3 xDD

Ya la colgaré también por ahí

Hi folks, there seem to be many people out there having similar issues, but I’ve spent all evening looking through for a solution and still no luck.

I’m trying to do a full integration of bbPress 0.219 and WordPress 2.51, full integration meaning that bbPress should load WordPress functions and vice versa.

WordPress appears to be playing very nicely and loading bbPress template tags with no problems at all. I’ve done this using

//BBPress Integration

if ( !defined('BBDB_NAME') )

require_once(ABSPATH.'forum/bb-load.php');

at the very end of my wp-config.php file, as per the tutorial at

http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/ . As I say, no problem so far.

It’s when I try to load WP functions into bbPress that I run into trouble. When I’ve attempted either of the following two mods to bb-config.php, it has disabled user login, as well as blocking me from /bb-admin (which re-directs straight back to home). The two mods to bb-config.php I have tried are:

// WordPress Integration //

define('WP_BB', true);

if ( !defined('DB_NAME') ) {

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wp-config.php');

}

// **Wordpress Variables ** //

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; // your wordpress db prefix is

$bb->wp_home = 'http://localhost/bloomag';

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://localhost/bloomag';

or simply

require_once( 'C:testingserverwwwbloomagwp-blog-header.php');

With both these mods, the bbPress page loads up with no problems but, as I say, both /bb-admin and any attempt to log-in give no response and just redirect to the hompage.

Has anyone got any suggestions for what might be going wrong and the correct method to call WP functions into bbPress?

Thanks a lot,

>Ben

I love that the bbSync plugin turns WordPress blog posts into bbPress forum topics. But is there a way to do the opposite?. In other words, can you turn a bbPress forum topic into a WordPress blog post. I’d love the ability to “promote” certain forum topics into a WordPress blog post.

That way, the blog can becomes a community blog, where members can submit content in the forums. And if the content is good, it can be selected by a moderator to make it to the front page of the blog

I love that this plugin syncs WordPress posts with bbPress. But is there a way to do it in the opposite direction. In other words, is there a way to turn a bbPress forum post into a WordPress blog post. It’d be great to have the ability to select and “promote” certain forum posts to the front page of blog.

Hi there!

I just started to experiment with bbPress and will integrate it into my family’s blog installation which of course runs WordPress.

While playing around with it, I noticed some missing labels on form controls. These missing associations cause screen readers to not pick up on the right stuff to speak when focus moves to a certain textbox, combobox or the like.

So, I went ahead and filed ticket #871 to deal with this and submitted a patch.

If you’re interested in accessibility, I invite you to follow that trac ticket!

[monstr]

affact, your code is just what i was searching for. unfortunately it just doesn’t work

[Tommie Hansen]

This is very important if one already got a forum but want to have a *GOOD* integration with WordPress on a new site.

Imagine loosing 4000 users just to be able to change to bbPress. It just won’t happen and it’s a damn shame that there isn’t a converter yet.

[freshestnoob]

I’ve just tested logins. I cannot log into my wordpress installation with my old password but i logged in successfully into the forums.

urgent help needed

[freshestnoob]

since this is about WPMU, I guess I don’t need to open a new thread. We have common problems.

To get you secret key: go to http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/options.php

It lists out your option and your SECRET_KEY is a long alphanumeric character in front of the key ‘entry’.

For the second secret (I’ve forgotten which is which), just define one in the wp-config.php of your installation.

I’ve not checked user-integration on my side by downgrading bbpress sounds like a pain.

Now, to my own problem;

I just installed bbpress on my new WPMU based website. I used the automated wordpress registration.

Everything is working fine but I’ve got two concerns:

1. I got this error on installation: Duplicate key name ‘user_nicename’

>>> User tables will already exist when performing a database integrated installation.

It looks pretty harmless, but I want reassurrance that it will not be harmful in the future.

2. The only pretty permalink feature working is the default forum.php?id=1. The others give 404 errors.

Any idea what I might do?

[chrishajer]

MarcoZ: that is perfectly fine as you are describing it. WordPress in the root of the domain, bbPress in a folder. You do create a directory called forum and copy the files there.

If you are not including WordPress in your bbPress, then you won’t need this plugin to correct the WordPress 404 errors:

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

Try your installation without that plugin first.
