Same one I use in the footer, the problem is that my theme header is not a normal header found across wordpress installations. Any clue?

Here’s another forum on bbPress. The rest of website is WordPress.

Thanks guys!

It is important to note that if your bbpress install is in a subdirectory of your wordpress install, then the directives in your wordpress .htaccess file also apply to your bbpress directory. So you need to check to make sure there isn’t some mod_rewrite rule in the base .htaccess file munging up your later rewrites in the bbpress .htaccess file.

I suggest anyone trying to attempt enabling mod_rewrite features be familiar with how it works. Apache has very good documentation for the mod_rewrite module.

There is little or no difference between the way bbPress uses mod_rewrite and wordpress uses mod_rewrite.

It is all down to your configuration and sometimes is impossible because of your host. I am happy to attempt to help anyone who wants to send me their .htaccess files and a detailed description of their setup. I will need full path names and urls and the site structure you are trying to achieve. Send to the username “sam” at the domain name “viveka * net * au”. I will send you back what should be a working set of files and will also attempt to report the resolution here.

I agree with djuggler. I have the same configuration as serimu on my self-hosted server. a .htaccess file at the root (/) for wordpress and a .htaccess file at /forum/ for bbpress. I have AllowOverride All enabled. Yet still no luck. I have had absolutely no problems with my 30+ installs of WordPress. But I’ve had no luck getting permalinks in BBPress working.

This is the only thing holding me back from using BBPress and I’m getting pretty sick of running XDForum.

[djuggler]

It is confounding that so many people have difficulty with the pretty permalinks.

In my case, WordPress works great. It’s .htaccess rewrites appropriately. On the same server Drupal uses mod_rewrite successfully and without effort. But I have spent hours upon hours trying different configurations and tricks to get BBPress to have pretty urls and it just won’t work. I do not use GoDaddy. I use 1and1 ( http://www.1and1.com/?k_id=6598272 )

For so many people to have the same experience and say “wordpress permalinks work but bbpress’ don’t” just cries that there is something flawed in BBPress’ approach to clean urls.

I’m trying to add things to the header but is not working out for me, I have modified headers in the past on wordpress, but bbpress header is different. Everytime I try I get an error. I just want to add a shortcut back to my homepage but html is not working for a simple shortcut on bbpress header. Can anyone help me on this?

Asking for paid support in a support forum is a no-no. I can suggest that you leave your contact information and then I can close the thread and/or drop a line over at the paid support list at:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Mailing_Lists#Professional

I know that is WP list, but there are people that might help there as well.

Hi guys,

“Small” problem: when I try to activate Vili’s plugin in my WordPress plugin admin pannel, I get the following message:

“The plugin could not be activated for it’s causing a fatal error.”

:'( Any clue what the problem might be?

I’m using Wordpres 2.2 and BBpress 0.8.1, French install.

I didn’t change anything in Vili’s PHP, but maybe I should have?

I’m not programmer, so please help me Thank you so much in advance!

How about this for including the latest bbPress posts in your WordPress sidebar?

Hi!

If you use the avatar plugin from Suleiman (here) on a WPMU install, you can use this plugin. I’m using it with bbpress 0.8.1 and the Crystal theme. Instructions in the file.

I have been hacking my wordpress files for months and for some reason bbpress files do not work the same. The bbpress header has no information, it looks like points to somewhere, does anyone know where to?

Thanks.

I have a question related to this.

If I can use a RSS feed on my WP Home Page, is there maybe a “Latest Discussions” feed from my bbPress forum that I could use?

I have resolved this issue, found this http://en.72pines.org/wordpress-mu/

[startribe]

Wow! Absolutely beautiful. Nice design and integration. Congratulations on a job well done.

“Another way to do .. parse your forum rss feed.”

Exactly what I was going to suggest. If the WP theme is widgetized, its user should have the RSS widget available, so he/she can just plug in the link to your bbPress install’s RSS feed. If not, he/she can use any number of RSS-in-sidebar plugins to accomplish this. (Or if they’re like me, do it by hand and use a plain RSS-to-PHP script.)

My friends and I make short films, draw comics, run a local film club, and have a blog. We wanted it all to have a central forum for discussion so I’ve tied the WordPress blog into the BBpress forum and I’m working on integrating the forum with the film site as well. Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks to the BBpress community for all the great plugins and helpful posts!

[davidbaldwin]

atomAstro, how did you get your titles/rss to work?

(I’m assuming your using WordPress for your blog)

I think I might have a problem with the theme I’m using, but I’m not sure.

Thanks!

[davidbaldwin]

Has anyone else been able to get the titles to work?

Thanks!

I have WP working fine, and BBPress working fine, they communicate they users and everything. wow. Anyway, I would like to integrate the forum on my WordPress theme, so that when I click on a forum page tab the header, footer, and so on looks consistent.

I have read a lot but cant find the solution.

My website is http://www.lumencreativegroup.com.

Thanks.

[howtogeek]

My username on my blog is “The Geek”, which does not work in bbPress… cannot even login, even though I’m already logged into WordPress.

This is not an integration issue, because other usernames without spaces work perfectly fine between WordPress and bbPress.

I’m comfortable with hacking the source… just wondering if anybody else has already found and fixed this issue already.

[Omegacool]

Ok tks, I hope that plugin can be created to integrate it to the WP, since he would be very useful

[fel64]

Not yet, or at least, not as far as I know. Note that that website doesn’t have it as a WP Page, either. You can, however, put it in a folder in the desired location and make it look like a WP page.

[benbeltran]

yeah, it wouldn’t be hard … you’d just do it the same way to do sizes … but the problem is to make it pass through the intermediate colors. A plugin in wordpress does that but it uses the minimum color for a certain threshold and for the rest the maximum.
