Still not working for me.

In one of my many reinstallations I forgot to put the wordpress integration file back in my-plugins.

Still no go however.

I do have the bbpress plugin activated in my wordpress already.

Also, yes, integrated from start.

I registered over at your forums to test this out. I registered and then logged into bbPress. I then went over to your blog and tried the /wp-admin/ link to find out if I was registered. It gave me the login page where I added my information and then was redirected to:

http://mpm.org.au/wp-admin/

That URL doesn’t exist. Is there something in your WP install that has the URL of the site as the first URL? That might be causing the problems.

As well, do you have the integration plugin that pulls the registrations from bbPress across to WordPress? That way all users are in the wp_users and not the bb_users table.

As long as you integrated from the start, no? Are you using the same database for WP and bb? In your config.php, did you add details for these settings:

bb->wp_table_prefix

bb->wp_home

bb->wp_siteurl

Another way to tell is, did it use your WordPress name for your admin account when you installed?

thanks guys – I don’t have to reinstall either bbpress or wordpress?

[Trent Adams]

Actually, if you put the define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.mpm.org.au’); in your wp-config.php it should work as well. I think that is the proper syntax, but you can define cookiepath in your WP config as well without having to make core changes. Maybe search for define cookie domain over at the forums at https://wordpress.org/support/

Trent

[fel64]

You will have to make changes to some core files to make this work properly, as they are in different subdomains.

Find your bbPress config.php file and add these lines:

//try to sync cookies

$bb->cookiedomain = '.mpm.org.au';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

Now go to your wordpress folder, open wp-settings.php.

#line 190

FROM

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', false);

TO

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.mpm.org.au');

Make sure that you make note of this change to wp-settings.php. Every time you upgrade wordpress this change will be overriden and you will have to make this change again.

my wordpress: http://300.mpm.org.au

I don’t think the integrated logins are working properly – can someone kindly check and report back here?

I have this alert in my mysql database regarding wp_users

Hi

I was following a tutorial which says that in order to use wordpress tags you need to include the blog header in your bbpress config. The tags work when I do this, however my bbpress-admin just gives me a whitepage?

Thanks

[fel64]

Speaking of which, it doesn’t add a topic-slug either, which is required to have permalinks set to slug. I tried adding the topic_slug field and a variable to make it update, but when I did that it didn’t work at all Can someone else have a look at this too?

[archasek]

wordpress:

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘sql.kmr.nazwa.pl:3305’);

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘kmr’);

bbpress:

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘kmr’);

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘sql.kmr.nazwa.pl:3305’);

[Trent Adams]

What do you have in your wp-config for the host and database name in wordpress?

Trent

[archasek]

sql.kmr.nazwa.pl:3305 i tried also localhost and host without port defined.

version of server: 5.0.26-log

version of mysql: 4.1.11

http://www.kmr.nazwa.pl – wordpress

http://www.kmr.nazwa.pl/forum – bbpress.

[Trent Adams]

It hasn’t been talked about for a ‘long time’ here in the forums, but if you just embed your bbPress install around your WP theme, it will be calling the wordpress stuff for the sidebar and then have your forum on something like a WP ‘page’. We just implemented the plugin admin for the 1.0 release and 0.8 has the theme admin. It won’t be too long before someone figures out how to get ‘sidebar’ widgets working with bbPress…..just time!

Trent

[Trent Adams]

If you setup that old WordPress blog as an integration with your bbPress installation and then install the bbPress-Post plugin from http://dev.mbzeus.net/forum/ you can do it. It is a real pain in the butt, but if you have the integration plugin working, you can ‘edit’ each of the old posts and then save them again . This creates the entry in bbPress. Last time I checked though, it didn’t update the timestamp to the original post time though.

Trent

[Trent Adams]

Are you using any plugin on this installation? I have heard of people having this issue when using the bbPress-Post plugin for posts out of wordpress.

Trent

[chrishajer]

I don’t think so. Blogs and forums serve two different purposes and I don’t know that anyone has written an exporter to get WordPress blog posts into bbPress.

[chrishajer]

It looks like WordPress uses the same exact syntax for the connection, so, it SHOULD work. Are you certain the string is exactly the same as the one you have in wp-config.php? If it works in WordPress, I think it should work in bbPress.

[thegunman]

I’m sorry but it just doesn’t work with 8.0 or 8.1 when I select that theme its the default theme all messed up. Is there something else that needs to be enabled on the server? because wordpress and all other software I’ve intalled on this server works fine. Maybe its an incompatability with php5?

[maker]

Is there information on or a plugin on exporting wordpress posts into bbpress?

I’d like to export an old wordpress blog into my forums.

[archasek]

yes, i tried and doesn’t – i get ‘Cannot select DB.’ . in wordpress it works.

[chrishajer]

Sorry, I do not. WordPress is like this too with no provision AFAIK for a non-standard port.

But, I was looking at bb-includes/db.php just now and the mysql_connect function is being used. That function can user dbservername.com:port by default according to this page: http://www.php.net/function.mysql-connect

So, in theory, this should work:

define('BBDB_HOST', 'blabla.bla.pl:3305');

Did you try that and it does not work?

[Prebrov]

I’m still having that problem. I tried all solutions on this page, but had no luck getting pretty URLs. Forum is working fine, but whenever I apply .htaccess settings, either copy-pasted from this forum or from rewrite-rules.php, I get an error

Not Acceptable

An appropriate representation of the requested resource /forum/topic/1 could not be found on this server.

Available variants:

* topic.php , type application/x-httpd-php, language ru

What could that be? I have the latest version of bbPress, it’s using wordpress database for authorization & authentication, but runs in a separate directory.

[Null]

They used to be ajaxed… or was that wordpress?? well ajexing this would be great to have as default!!

Any bbpress programmer who wants to comment this?

Also editing could be made ajaxed…

[geekpulpthegreat]

I’ve been using WordPress for years so when it came to adding a forum to my site bbpress made sense to me. However I’m having some integration issue which I would appreciate some help on.

I’ve gone through the process of integrating bbpress with wordpress following these instructions http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/ which seemed to work fine but…

When I look at my users in bbpress I can see them all there but if I try to edit any of them (to create a modorator for example) by clicking edit (http://www.forums.geekpulp.co.nz/profile/1/edit), I just get a 404

I also have the same issue when I attempt to view any posts/forums create. The url looks like this http://www.forums.geekpulp.co.nz/topic/3?replies=1

Any ideas?

[motiongraphics]

I’ve just installed the last version of bbpress on last version of wordpress, its all ok but, when I click on “view your profile” or other links the result is: “Not Found The requested URL /forum/profile/1 was not found on this server.”

Why?

Many Thanks
