Hey.
Yes, that’s it.
Works like a charm now!
And yes again, I’m using 0.8.3, but switching to a different theme is close to impossible since I have modified it so heavily to match my WordPress-Blog.
Thanks a lot!
AndrewMac, did you try the test in this post:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registration-email-not-being-sent-new-issue?replies=15#post-6931
That will confirm if you can send mail from your server. It’s odd that WordPress works but bbPress does not. Is it possible the $bb->admin_email needs to be a real email address for the mails to be sent by your host? Is that a real email account?
Also, are there any mail logs or error logs? Maybe that would provide a clue.
To install my bbpress do i need to create a new database?
I would integrate in my wordpress using same users.
I can’t see how bbPress would be any different than wordpress in terms of the mail usage, so:
Emailed passwords not received
Description: When users try to register with your blog or change their passwords by entering their username and email, WordPress says that their password has been emailed to them, but it’s never received.
Reason and Solution: WordPress uses the standard php mail function, which uses sendmail. No account information is needed. This is not generally a problem if you’re using a hosting service, but if you’re using your own box and don’t have an SMTP server, the mail won’t ever send. If you’re using a *NIX box, you should have either postfix or sendmail on your machine; you’ll just need to set them up (google for how-to’s). If you don’t want to go through setting up a complete mail server on you *NIX box you may find ssmtp (http://packages.debian.org/stable/mail/ssmtp) useful – it provides “A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a system to your mail hub”. On a Windows machine, try a sendmail emulator like Glob SendMail (http://glob.com.au/sendmail/).
More help can be found on the forums at: https://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=24981
Translation, there are posts in the normal wordpress.org forums as well that even dreamhost for whatever reason doesn’t send the passwords out through sendmail. I would look in the dreamhost support as well, maybe an answer is right there for you to grab

Just a note, if you want to send a http response code, you need to use bb_init action (check init action for WP). If you use bb_head, you will get error since there is something has been sent to client side before your own header. And your own response code won’t be effective.
I suggest you send header, bb_load_template and then exit in the action hook.
I think you might be better off with a WordPress plugin then, if you really want them always in WordPress.

Not sure if this still applies, but I found something in the wp.org forums and posted it at:
Adding bbPress as WP Page
Trent
Is there a way to have the bbpress forum show within one of the wordpress pages. I dont want my users to go from one site to another that looks different. I want them to stay on my blog yet do everything in the forum while still staying on the blog. is that possible?
I got it working…. problem was i had saved the file as a rtf so when i switch the extension… it had like Options +MultiViews color ffff text size and stuff in it… i cleared it and insterted what you told me and everything works fine. thank you
Just delete the file .htaccess out of the /beta/ folder again and I will see what I can dig up for getting wordpress to see it. Are you using any subdomains to see it or just the URL you setup above in config.php ?
Trent
I did as u instructed… and now i cant even see my forum lol
http://kicksonfire.com/beta/ it goes to my wordpress
From the FAQ:
Create a file called .htaccess in bbPress’ root directory. Put only the following line in that new file.
Options +MultiViews
Just upload a file like htaccess.txt with the line mentioned above and then use the FTP program to name it to .htaccess versus htaccess.txt (notice the dot before name).
WordPress is just thinking right now that you have a URL that doesn’t have an assigned page or post to it and it is getting screwed up! Try that one out!
Trent
What is my .htaacess file on my bbpress folder suppose to say?
And how can i create it if i have a mac?
I have my own server with theplanet.com
It might be that the .htaccess file of wordpress is over-writing the one that should be in the bbPress folder /beta/. I have heard this can happen. Do you have the .htaccess in the bbPress folder? What host are you running? I think (without searching) that this was something on GoDaddy, but I am not 100% sure…..
Trent
I know nothing that would do it straight to bbPress, but one could be written based on the WP plugins like WP-AutoBlog, FeedWordPress or another Maggie based plugin.
I think the best bet would be to great a WP blog (hidden) that populates using one of the mentioned plugins and then a bbPress plugin like bbSync or bbPress-Post to pull the entries from WP into bbPress as entries.
It would be better to create a plugin that does it automatically, but if you don’t want to re-invent the wheel, that is the only solution I can think of right now.
Trent
I have wordpress installed in my main directory kicksonfire.com
I have installed bbpress at http://kicksonfire.com/beta/
for some reason when i click anything it takes me to teh 404 error page of my wordpress blog… wat can be wrong?
Hey.
I solved it myself.
As a matter of fact it was a http://www./no-www issue.
In WordPress my Blog-URL was http://cmscentral.de and after I changed it to http://www.cmscentral.de everything worked just fine.
There is a plugin for WordPress but I haven’t seen one for bbPress.
In header.php, in the header div (where the login_form() is) put this:
<img id=”headerlogo” src=”http://www.theangrywaiter.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/awbanner.jpg” alt=”The Angry Waiter” />
Right now though, the image is taller than the header div (the header is 106px, the image is 131px, I think.)
So, to make it all work, you’ll need to make the header div taller, or the image less tall. Then you’ll need to apply some styling to the image you just placed in the header. Something like this:
#header img {
whatever: here;
}
That just gets the image into the header. Then you need to wrap an <a href="http://www.theangrywaiter.com/" alt="go home"></a> around that image tag you just added, to link the image to the destination.
Just grab the links to the individual forum pages then, and insert them into a WordPress page. You’ll have to maintain it manually, so if you add a new city you would need to add a new link to that WordPress page. I imagine there is probably a way with integration to use the bbPress functions in a WordPress page but I think that’s more work than it’s worth, especially if your list of cities is pretty much set.
Your WordPress page would be titled “Forum” then, and in that page would be the links to the individual forums. Then you might not even need front-page.php since you’d be navigating directly to the parent forums for each city. I think you would probably leave it there so if anyone navigated in the breadcrumbs to the next level ‘up’ they would still get a list of all cities, either links to the parents, or the way you had it set up initially with the long front page.
I have installed bbPress using the same DB as WordPress so they can both share user details. This works great. Although I have not put bbPress in a sub-dir of WordPress to share cookies.
However, when I log in as the Key Master (who is also the administrator in WordPress) I cannot create new Forums. It says I don;t have permission to do that! When I use the exact same set up with a dedicated bbPress DB it all works ok.
Is this a bug? I think it must be…
@fel64:
My Blog’s address is: http://www.cmscentral.de/index.php
Installed in subfolder /content/
My forum’s address is: http://www.cmscentral.de/content/forum
I installed bbpress in my Blog’s/WP’s subfolder, because that supposedly should automatically have the right cookie settings.
Could this be a www/no-www issue?
Did anyone find that you could piggyback onto the WordPress integration/authentication when using the OpenID plugin? It didn’t work for me. I had the plugin activated on my WordPress site and was able to login and create users just fine, but bbPress didn’t know about the credentials and wouldn’t login.
I need to get more familiar with how the integration is working – I thought it would work fine since it created a normal WordPress user record. But it kept saying the userid was unknown… Will probably dig into it later. The WP plugin is great – the persona fill in stuff is very cool. Only quirk was my ‘Display As’ defaulted to the userid even though a name was included. But I digress.
electroniques: what are the urls of your installs? You probably need to set the cookie domains explicitly.
joeby: I’d love to, but advice to electroniques is going to help you too. If you want to reward the help anyway, that’d be awesome.
