Not supported in future…

bbPress is WordPress plugin next month…

[lmsook10]

Thanks for your reply. Yes, if I select year/month/title option, it goes to http://localhost/wordpress/forums/ (which is bbpress) page, which I wanted.

However, I have another page, like about and staff.. and they do not exist like forum, so I need them to be like default?p=123

Currently, if I click about page, it tries to go to http://localhost/wordpress/about/ and it throws Object not found! error because I do not have about page. How can I solve this problem?

Thanks,

I am using the default WordPress and Kakumei themes at the moment. It seemed that bbPress was very sluggish, so I activated the default theme in order to check the load on the server and found that it was significantly less with the default theme than with the integrated theme. In my case it’s a personal call in favor of performance. This is a well known trade off about which there is plenty of information available.

Having an integrated and non-integrated theme created no issues of which I am aware. Unless I am forgetting something the only change to the WordPress theme was the call to the bbPress style sheet in header.php. All other changes are made to the bbPress theme. So either remove, comment out, or leave the call – I don’t think it hurts performance. I commented it out so that I can do some testing. I may be wrong about something here, but it’s all working for me at the moment.

Hello everyone,

I followed these steps to integrate WordPress with bbPress. However, there appeared some errors that I could not fix.

1. Since I am using the theme “Twenty Ten”, I tried to use the page template One column, no sidebar, but could not. Is there any way?
2. The sidebar does not appear in your place.
3. The footer in both WordPress and in bbPress, was disfigured. How can I fix it?
4. The bbPress admin pages comes to a blank page.

Here’s the sites: the blog, and the forum.

Thanks for everything.

Att;

P.S.: Sorry for my terrible English…

Is that gallery view on a forum or on a wordpress theme?. It certainly is very beautiful. A free gallery template like that would be nice to rapidly popularize your efforts. Of course i would get a free template. Excellent work.

You were being a little “rude”

Nope, never.. I doesn’t want to be rude. I always respect _ck_ and love her work. But I also want to see update of her work.

I’m really sorry if you or _ck_ feel bad because of my pinching words.

You are first person who is talking in friendly way , otherwise this community is really rough and tough then normal WordPress.

Its nice to listen ALL IZ WELL, ALL IZ WELL in this forum

Follow the steps as per this – WordPress bbPress Integration

and keep the WordPress plugin for integration activated.

[IhaveaQuestionplease]

a) I unzipped wordpress 3.0.1 under /wordpress/.

b) I created the necessary mySQL db and username for wordpress.

c) I entered the db, user, and password into wp-config.

d) I unzipped “bbpress” into a folder inside of /wordpress/ called /bbpress/.

e) I created the necessary mySQL db and username for bbpress.

f) I entered the db, user, and password into bb-config.

g) I enabled multi-site on my wordpress by adding the necessary lines of code to wp-config.

h) I finished up configuring the network for wordpress.

i) I randomized my cookies in wp-config.

j) I went to /bbpress/ and started to configuring it. I specified my website and URL to be /wordpress/.

k) I entered my cookies (including SALT – 8 total), db, user, and password into the /bbpress/ installation website.

l) I ran the installation of /bbpress/ and got no errors – everything is good up to this point.

However, the cookies don’t work! When I log into /wordpress/, it does NOT log me into /wordpress/bbpress/. And vice versa – when I log into /wordpress/bbpress/ it does not log me into /wordpress/ !

Please help – and thank you for your patience.

I tried to use the LDAP Authentication plugin for bbPress to let people login, but it gives me this error:

Warning: ldap_bind() [function.ldap-bind]: Unable to bind to server: Invalid credentials in /var/www/wordpress/bbpress/bb-plugins/ldap-authentication.php on line 330

What is the actual full path to wp-load.php, and what are you using in your require or include statement?

[suomynona]

Ok, so I got impatient, dropped the database, removed bbPress from wordpress root, restarted my apache2 and mysql services, cleared the browser cache, closed the browser, created a new database, unzipped bbPress into the wordpress root, logged in as the new user, logged out, and after logging out that php end tag is back.

No plugins, no integration – no modifications of any kind, just out of the box bbPress. It’s a mystery to me.

[anthonyluth]

It always seems to load homesite/community/wp-load.php instead of homesite/wp-load.php when you test it out. Any thoughts?

[anthonyluth]

I’m having trouble getting it to recognize the path to my wp-load.php file. I’ve tried many combinations but none seem to be found, they all end up in a warning atop the page, even tho they still load.

[suomynona]

Several days ago I did a new install of bbpress in my wordpress root on localhost/, checked it out and all looked fine. My intention is to work through the integration of wp and bbp, but I didn’t have time to work with it then, so I went back today to try it out and find that there’s a misplaced “?>” displaying at the top of every page – before the header. I also noticed that the footer on the Appearance page of the admin panel runs across the Kakumei-blue theme so that the activate link is inaccesible.

I’ve messed around with it for a few hours – saved my bb-config.php, deleted bbpress/ and replaced it from the zip; checked permissions; repaired my mysql database; restarted my apache2 and mysql services; checked the header.php; cleared my browser cache… I’m at a loss to understand this.

I’m just short of removing the database and starting over, which would be the quick and easy way out, but I would like to figure it out for the heck of it. Any ideas will be appreciated.

I have had a wordpress website now for some time and think its amazing first off.

My website is a gaming website for online gaming of all kinds, I wanted to install a high end discussion board/forum and after trying out a few ‘simple to install’ ones I wanted to get bbpress.

I have followed this guide: http://www.wpwebhost.com/make-bbpress-theme-match-with-wordpress-by-deep-integration/ …Step by step as my knowledge of coding isnt that great.

After hours of trying I finally got everything working!!

The problem I am facing is now getting it to ‘Fit’ to my current theme. Atm it just looks like alot of misplaced writing etc.

I think it may have something to do with the theme editing as i wasnt 100% sure what to put in there. I replaced bb_get_header(); ?> for get_header(); ?> <div id=”content class=”narrowcolumn” role=”main” and like wise for the footer but not certain if it is the right layout for my theme

my website is http://www.prime-gaming.com

link to the bbress http://www.prime-gaming.com/Forum

Thanks in advance

What changed recently? Any new plugins, upgrades, upgrades to the server? Upgrade to WordPress?

[lmsook10]

Sorry that I’m so ignorant of WordPress. I found Permalink Settings in WordPress Dashboard (admin), and there, which should I choose(maybe Custom Structure?) and set what value?

Thanks.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Does this plugin work flawlessly or it has some issues in the long run or anything else for that matter?

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/

Would like to hear from someone who has been using it for quite some time.

[nood]

Assuming you have permalinks set up, create a page with the permalink forums so the full url would be http://localhost/wordpress/forums

Because the directory exists, when someone goes to the page they will end up on your forum.

Hello,

I’m new in both WP and BBP, but have some background with PHP.

I’m building a website using WP 3.0 Twenty Ten theme, and one of page needs bulletine board, so I decided to use BBPress for that.

Thanks for http://1plusdesign.com/articles/bbpress-wordpress-integration/ I could install bbpress under my WP site (http://localhost/wordpress) like http://localhost/wordpress/forums and if I go to http://localhost/wordpress/forums directly, I can see the bbpress forum, but my question is without direct accessing to the url (http://localhost/wordpress/forums),how can someone from my WP site go to the forum page? For instance, I have a page called Forum in my WP site, and I would like if someone clicks(goes to) the page, it will display http://localhost/wordpress/forums

Thanks for your reply.

Mods have no control over that and I highly doubt admin will bother because of display names giving you the ability to rename anyone to anything else.

Asking on bbpress.org is probably also a bad idea, use the more highly trafficked wordpress.org

I’ve been side tracked with BuddyPress bugs and paying work, so don’t expect anything official for a week or two. I have a few projects coming up fast that will need this working so while I’m missing my soft Sept 15 deadline, I don’t think it will be /too/ far off.

Sorry to disappoint, it’s no fun… and thanks for your patience with me and it.

For the record, I love bbPress. I have a few commits going into 1.1, and I have every intention of making bbPress be the best it can be as a WordPress plugin.

Regarding my motivation and priority, it’s to make great forum software that fits inside WordPress; nothing more and nothing less.

Regarding why I was able to step into this role, it’s because our peers believe I am capable, and I am willing to dedicate time and effort towards it getting it done.

Regarding any possible benefit BuddyPress might see, is a welcome bonus but not a priority. BuddyPress/bbPress processing times should decrease with BuddyPress 1.2.6, as a few tweaks have been made and a bug or two have been patched in that regard. Even still, nothing compares to the blazing fast speed of bbPress by itself, even in the slower 1.x branch.

Regarding everything else, I’m just here to write the best code I can, help make bbPress a great WordPress plugin, and have fun doing it all. So far, so good on my end.

For those not familiar with BuddyPress or how it uses bbPress, let me give you a quick example.

Here is a typical BuddyPress group’s discussion area (without forums it’s just a group of bloggers which also can be done with basic buddypress but it’s boring)

http://culturadigital.br/groups/banda-infinnita/forum/

Here it is natively inside the bbPress engine:

http://www.culturadigital.br/forum/forum.php?id=151

If you look back on their bbpress front-page you can see how all the groups are exposed as individual forums. This is how buddypress needs bbpress.

(I have no association at all with that site, it’s just a rare example of behind the scenes – unfortunately this kind of demo is not possible on most buddypress sites because JJJ has learned over time to “lock down” bbpress to prevent direct examination)

BuddyPress doesn’t need the bbPress front-end, at all. But it desperately needs the backend. And JJJ needs that backend to be faster and not have to load it’s own core. So by switching it to use WordPress’s core, buddyPress will be faster.

ps.the buddypress version of the forum takes FIVE times longer to render than the bbpress version – I’m not talking about the time to send the extra images on the page, I’m talking just server time to render the page. And that’s against bbPress 1.0, not 0.9

[_ck_]

Let me clarify for those that don’t follow.

BuddyPress is JJJ’s pet project.

Buddypress relies on WordPress, currently it’s technically a “plugin” to WordPress.

Buddypress (pre-1.3) uses bbpress standalone to manage it’s groups by using bbpress’s engine to manage forums (buddypress “groups” technically are forums with specific memberships to limit who can post to where).

JJJ sees that there are far too many layers and way too much code being loaded which is making buddypress too slow. So his plan is to more closely tie bbpress into WordPress, making buddypress faster.

His motivation is not to improve bbpress for the sake of making bbpress better. He doesn’t need the front end of bbpress at all for buddypress. He already manages it through buddypress.

So by reinventing bbpress to use wordpress’s core, he can cut out some of the bulk and make buddypress faster. BuddyPress is currently very slow and bulky unless you have a decent server and good caching setup.

Taking control of bbPress is a side project to help buddypress for JJJ and he’ll never convince me otherwise about his motivations.

Note I am NOT saying you won’t be able to run bbPress without buddypress, of course you will be able to (because that’s even less complicated) But that’s not his motivation or priority, at all.

@frooyo

0.7-0.9 bbPress standalone, high speed core independent of WP

1.0-1.1 bbPress relies on backpress core, which uses WP functions (150% larger)

1.2/2.0 bbPress relies on WordPress 3+ for it’s core (200% larger)

If you think hooking into the bulk that is WP 3.x is going to make bbPress faster, well there’s going to be a mighty big wake up call sometime soon. It will make page caching easier, but that’s good because it’s practically going to be a requirement.

JJJ’s only motivation to do this is because his pet buddypress project relies on the bulk of WP so the logic is might as well force bbPress to also.

TL;DR bbPress rewrite makes buddypress faster but bbpress by itself slower than 0.9/1.1

I managed to install manually configuring forum bb-config.php file and uploading to the bbPress folder. The bbPress database is different from WordPress.
