Hi,
Is there any way to display recent posts on a wordpress static page.
Thanks,
Daniel
…. you know, I wonder why I didn’t catch that either. lol.
Okay, well, after fixing that, it now forwards me to the admin interface like it should and lets me log in on the WordPress site.
That said, if logged in on the WordPress site, I am still not logged in on the forums- or at least, so it appears. It still asks me for login info.
From there, I tried logging in as admin using another browser, and saw that the test account was listed as online in the forum.
Confusion abounds.
It is still the case that if I log in on the forums, I’m logged in on the wordpress site.
No problem- I wonder why it is you didn’t get them? I’ll try making another test account to see what happens. EDIT: I tried out a test account and got my login info instantly- perhaps an email typo?
I cleared cookies and tried logging in via the wordpress side.
I only got one cookie logged, here’s all the info since I’m not sure what you’re looking for:
website: http://www.audreysargent.com
Name: PHPSESSID
Path: /
Secure: no
Expires: (blank)
Contents: d43da8c677366727ecfdb8a5f0fa4b9e
Further update on this.
I’ve tried logging in as the admin at wordpress, and even that will no longer work. Not only does it not forward me on to the admin interface, it doesn’t log me in at all.
It seems that if I log into the forum interface, then I’m logged into the WordPress interface just fine, and I can access the control panel as usual by using the link.
In addition, no one can log out now either- I assume that option should still be working.
This has obviously turned into a non plugin issue, so if you guys want to move it to the appropriate spot that’s fine.
Ok one is seen as Administrator until browing to the WordPress site, where the bbpress-inegration-plugin is activated and the rights are changed to the default role.
Still weird that no usermeta means Admin-role in WP.
Found out that bbpress-intergration-plugin in WordPress correctly updates user-metadata when going through WordPress-login. But when using the bbpress-login, then it just creates a cookie and when browsing to the WordPress site, then one has Admin-priviledges because user-metadata is non-existing (quite odd actually).
I’m using bbPress 0.82 and every time I create a user then it gets the role WP role as Administrator (Eventhough the default role is subscriber). I’m not using any plugins in WP to handle role-management.
Guess I will have to redirect user-registration in bbPress to WP, to avoid this issue.
I have one over at yourkahil.com/forum
still in the works as I am integrating my custom wordpress theme into it…
For those of you who have your wordpress and bbpress installs together and would like have the avatars display in the wordpress side as well…
Here is some code you can add… This is what I use in the sidebar over at yourkahil.com
<?php global $user_identity;
get_currentuserinfo();
if ($user_identity == ”) {
echo(‘Welcome Guest’);
} else {
echo(‘<img src=”/forum/avatars/’ . strtolower($user_identity) . ‘” alt=”avatar” />’);
}
?>
This will work if you would like to display the avatar outside of the loop in bbpress as well. All you have to do is change the image source line to reflect where you have your avatars stored…
Hope that helps some people!!!
An update- that worked splendidly, EXCEPT:
Now when you create a new account and go back to login, after typing in username and password, the redirect to the admin control panel on wordpress doesn’t work- so you get stuck back on the login screen thinking it didn’t work.
If you’d like, you can create a test account to see what I mean.
Thoughts?
Yes, he only registered once. If logging in to one should log you into both, then things definitely aren’t working the way they’re supposed to.
The way things are set up is the following:
WordPress is installed in my root HTTP directory.
BBPress is installed in a subdirectory called “forums”.
You can see everything in action here (put on your sunglasses, it’s bright.):
forums at http://forums.audreysargent.com
Need more info?
Thanks for the help. 
an update…
I didn’t know until I tried, but you can leave that .jpg out and it will load any image file that matches that query.
It can also be done by making the default bbpress theme look like your wordpress theme. I am almost done doing just that over at yourkahil.com
For the most part everything is the same, only a handful of changes/tweaks to the template files.
@gspark001 lets say you have a wordpressmu up and you want a place where people can see posts from all of the WP installations. I run a family site. Some prefer to read each Website others prefer to look at the forums for updated info.
I had phpBB connect for the same reason.
@fel64 I keep getting a get_user error when I try to post. It seems to be setup correctly, but when I post it gives:
Fatal error: Call to a member function get_user() on a non-object
and references functions.php
It’s a stylesheet, it will not interfere with the styles in your WP theme unless there are name collisions between the class/id’s.
I just installed this plugin and I got this error. I am using BBpress version 0.8.2.1, integrated with wordpress.
*****
bbPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ” at line 1]
UPDATE bb_forums SET posts = posts + 1 WHERE forum_id =
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/user/public_html/site/forum/bb-includes/db.php:151) in /home/usr/public_html/site/forum/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 168
I have a question-
One of my members wants to make sure he stays logged in. I had an SMF forum which allowed you to choose “stay logged in for a week” or “forever”. He would like something similar, and claims he has to log in every time he comes back to the forum.
I know I don’t have that issue, but I’m also the keyholder- is it supposed to be automatic that someone stays logged in?
If not, is there a plugin, or a hack, that could make this possible?
Thanks.
EDIT: To elaborate on this, I have integrated this with wordpress, and I’m beginning to wonder if I have an integration problem:
He registered through BBpress, and the account was created in my WP-admin, no problem. I asked him to try logging in to the WP control panel, to see if checking “remember me” on that login was what did it. He couldn’t log in with his BBpress password, not even the random one that was sent to him.
I had to go in and manually set the password for him. Is that how it’s supposed to work? Am I going to have to do this for each user created? (I can’t believe that, so there must be another issue.)
Sorry to bring up two problems in the same thread, if it’s better I can start a new one for the integration issue.
Thanks in advance.
fel64 has it right. There is a paid mailing list for WordPress that also takes request for bbPress if you are interested, but discussing commercial projects here is a no no.

What bbPress and WordPress plugins do you have installed?
I haven’t been able to reproduce this on my machine (no plugins for either).
won’t that mess up your wordpress theme ?
include the kakumei stylesheet in your template header, or copy the kakumei styles and put them into the stylesheet for your wordpress theme.
It is a REALLY bad idea to leave an wordpress installer sitting on your server, and it is an especially REALLY bad idea to then provide the link to everyone. Some bad person could do some very bad things to your server. You should take that down right away.
Yeah, they are integrated and so is the WordPress MU forums.
