Could have sworn that we had a FAQ over in wp.com land but I don’t see it. Just the half ass one I have in the support forums:

The “feed” tag is used by RSS readers and is usually not recognized by browsers that do not have a RSS reader installed. You can see the RSS feed if you manually type in your blog’s feed URL into the URL bar of your browser. (ie: http://username.wordpress.com/feed/)

Hope this helps,

Ok fixed, thanks.

But now when I browse to /forums/ it isn’t integrated with theme?

The register link from the forums is integrated into wordpress theme, though the page is messed up.

[chrishajer]

Is this helpful?

Hello, I’m trying to integrate my bbpress forum and our blog. I’ve made my own template in bbpress, which i’m very pleased with, but I can’t get it work.

The problem is that i can’t login to my forum. I’ve tried to login with members I’ve manually added in wp and a user that i created in bbpress! It seems that I login but I can’t reach the panel that a user who is logged in is able to! When I write a username and pw correctly it doesn’t say anything, just “jumping” to the root. But when I write a bad uname and pw it says that its wrong uname and pw!

I’m triyng to not use my own “plugin” (tabs and loginform) but it still dont work!

Is there something I have forgotten to do?

(im using the 0.75 bbpress and the newest wordpress)

Hi, found this link in another post

http://www.adityanaik.com/blog/bbpress-and-wordpress-integration/

Following the steps and I get

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare is_serialized() (previously declared in /home/niallr00/public_html/dds/forums/bb-includes/wp-functions.php:916) in /home/niallr00/public_html/dds/wp-includes/functions.php on line 165

What does this mean? Or can someone put me in the direction of another way to do it? Quite surprised there’s nothing in bbpress’s documentation about this?

Plugin inspired by http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/625

Adds a new Admin section where you can add users if you want to. It’s just like the “add new user” function in wordpress.

Download here:

http://la-school.com/2006/downloads/admin-add-user_1_0.zip

To install simply put it into your /my-plugins/ folder.

Yes there is, it’s called a WYSISYG editor. WordPress has one, I think (hope) bbPress will get one too. I already have a ticket about this for version 1.0 of bbPress, so time will tell if this gets implemented. If not, someone will (I will do it when I have time for it. I already have a WYSIWYG editor laying around that should be easy te implement into bbPress) make a plugin for this to add a very simple/basic WYSIWYG editor to bbPress.

[chrishajer]

If you integrate, your users will be in WordPress, and then you can search over at http://wp-plugins.net/ for mailing list or newsletter.

[chrishajer]

OK. So you are not going to spam them. They will agree to opt in. You are going to create the content of the newsletter manually. You just need to use the emails from your registrations to send out the newsletter?

I know this exists already for WordPress. Is your forum integrated with WordPress? If so, then you’re already done: just add the WordPress plugin. If not, then I think you’re requesting a plugin.

Hi everybody, I am new to bbPress. I’ve been using wordpress for a while but never used bbpress. What I want to do is to add treeview display to bbpress including posts. And I want to keep history of users so that s/he should be able to see the posts that she read and unread. Therefore somehow I need to keep each users’ read posts. Before doing anything, is bbpress right choice for those modifications? Are there any similar plugin to start with? As bbpress experts what do you suggest where should I begin? How should I keep database tables for regarding performance? I think you get the idea, if you have any idea, it would be really helpfull.

[chrishajer]

I don’t know anything about your plugin, but why not put the OR in the PHP, similar to how WordPress checks for pages or posts:

<?php if(is_home() || is_single() || is_page()) {

whatever;

} ?>

Maybe you could put the logic in the PHP? I don’t understand what the plugin does, but the value in the database seems odd to me.

so, for your application:

<?php if ((bb_get_location == front-page) || (bb_get_location == topic-page)) {

give the ID;

} ?>

hey,

i’m having a problem with integrating bbpress into my wordpress template. when you click on ‘add new’ on any forum page the layout looks fine, but when you click on ‘add new’ on the start page, then it messes up the layout. seems there is a stray closing div somewhere, which is only needed sometimes.

have a look here to see what i mean.

actually, if you scroll down i think you can see the same thing happening with the footer here

cheers, b

No problem zapata. To get rid of the register link, you need to download login-form.php from /bb-templates/ and then edit it as follows:

Change this part from:

<p><?php printf(__('<a href="%1$s">Register</a> or log in'), bb_get_option('uri').'register.php') ?>:</p>

to get rid of the register, you could just comment out this line or change the wording:

<! -- <p><?php printf(__('<a href="%1$s">Register</a> or log in'), bb_get_option('uri').'register.php') ?>:</p> -->

Once you have edited that file, upload it to a new folder (if it doesn’t exist already in root) /my-templates/ as bbPress will use that file first and if it doesn’t exist, go back to the one in /bb-templates/

As for the registering with WordPress, I was only referring to the abilitity to turn on or off registration in WP admin. If you turn it off, then you can add the members you want through the admin.

That should get you going!

Trent,

Today is my bbPress Independence day. Everything seems to be working just so smoothly. Removed register.php and Voila…

two questions:

(1) What file do I have to look in to remove the “Register” link on top of the page

(2)When you mention “People can still register using WordPress” do you mean the authors or me (admin) has to do anything “beyond” what I do to register authors in the admin section of WordPress

[Trent Adams]

Since you are integrated with WP (I would assume), removing register.php from bbPress root directory would get rid of that particular issue. People can still register using WordPress or just added as members by you in the WP admin. That would be the easiest way.

Trent

[spencerp]

Yep, and, even though Michael Adams made the newer version of the bbPress Integration plugin. Ryan Boren added two stubs in the 2.1 wp-includes/ folder, holding the same name as the original two.

So, these two calls:

require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/registration-functions.php’ );

include_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/rss-functions.php’);

In any WordPress or bbPress plugins, you’ll still be safe! Inside those two stubs are:

registration-functions.php file:

<?php

// Deprecated. Use registration.php.

require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/registration.php');

?>

rss-functions.php file:

<?php

// Deprecated. Use rss.php instead.

require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');

?>

Happy 2.1 Upgrading and bbPress Integrating peoples..

Just gotta put in my 2 cents. I know it’s not bbpress, but my son, Noah Darwin, has a wordpress blog … though it’s a bit out of date. And he’s only 15 months old.

The issue will be because the user that you have as an Administrator in WP is not the keymaster in bbPress. What you can do is check out the following:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/462?replies=4#post-2607

There is some good information in there on getting the account that is the admin in WordPress to also be the Keymaster (admin) in bbPress.

Trent

[chrisgross]

I have my wordpress and my bbpress installed and working together fine. The only problem is that I can reach my wordpress admin panel, but not the bbpress one. The deal I think is that there is some info missing from the wp_users table that makes it so bbpress can use it. Could anyone tell me how to fix this without having to re-install the entire thing.

[Trent Adams]

Now that WordPress has released 2.1, just a quick note to all the current users and future users that bbPress integrates fine with WordPress 2.1.

I followed all of these instructions to integrate WP theme into BB. When I attempt to login I get these errors:

spencerp – i would be curious how you got bbpress into your active WordPress theme. i am working to do the same as you, but any help would be appreciated.

thanks

hey trent,

thanks for your reply. i suppose you mean this plugin? it’s the only one i could find with a name close enough to ‘WP translation plugin’.

but what this plugin does is translate the posts for you and i basically only want the forum stuff to be translated, not the topics.

[ateale]

hey guys

i have managed to integrate bbpress into my wordpress install

now I can’t seem to access the bbpress admin page. I get this error:

Warning: main(../wp-blog-header.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/blog/bbpress/config.php on line 3

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /www/blog/bbpress/config.php on line 3

Any ideas?
