have you tried adding “bb-admin” to the end of your bbpress forum url? It might be that you’re using a custom bbpress theme that hasn’t got that option enabled on the theme.

try adding “bb-admin” and see if your wordpress login works.

I thought I was doing great getting both the blog and the forum up today. However, I just can’t figure out how to add a link from my BBPress forum page to my WordPress Blog. I just want an easy way to go from forum to blog…

I’m a real newbie at this so please explain in great detail if it is complicated!

Thanks…

Is it integrated with this WP blog?

If something isn’t correct in the WP integration settings, you are logged in bbPress if you are logged in WP, but a click on the “Admin” link on your forums (“Admin” in English, don’t know any word Chinese) will send you back to the forum’s front page.

A typical symptom of that problem is: After you clicked the link “Log Out” and made a new login in bbPress (not in WordPress), you can access the bbPress dashboard.

2 things:

1) I am still using 0.9.0.5 because when I try to upgrade to the later versions and log back into my site (www.mocog.com) it says the username does not exist, even admin. I have cleared the cookies in my browser and still have the issue.

2) I believe the trouble started when I tried to do a wordpress integration about 9 months ago, so I am a little fuzzy on what all I did. I was confused as the tutorials are written to integrate bbpress into wordpress. Problem is I already have databases in bbpress that I don’t want to lose. I had created a sub-directory called blog. When I go to http://www.mocog.com/blog it shows my forum. I am thinking I did something wrong there.

Perfect world I would like to have the forum integrated into the blog (that doesn’t yet exist), can I do this??

[usera]

I decided to delete my admin name in an integrated 3.01 wordpress with bbpress 1.02 and associated all links/posts to a new admin. I obviously did forget about my rarely used bbpress and now I cannot enter the admin login for bbpress.

Can someone tell me how to fix it? My wp_usermeta for wp_capabilities is:

a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;} and

wp_usermeta for bb_capabilities is:

a:1:{s:6:”member”;b:1;}

I tried changing to “s:9:”keymaster”” for both but didn’t do anything. Any one have suggestion? Thank you.

Joel Spolsky has released StackOverflow to replace the current WordPress forums (powered by bbPress)

I’m also frustrated with the slow pace of work on bbPress, but “replace” what? The Stack Overflow folks have simply launched their own WordPress support (questions and answers) site, using their own technology platform, Stack Exchange. How does that “replace the current WordPress forums”?

FWIT, I run a WordPress support site using PHPBB3!

[donnasdream]

Hi,

I am building a forum (http://donnasdream.co.uk/forum) to co-exist with my existing wordpress blog (http://donnasdream.co.uk).

I have tried to install BB-Mobile and followed the instructions to the letter however i cannot get it to work. I am using version 1.0.2 of BB-Press and the latest version i can find of BB-Mobile.

As my work for the website involves me travelling around quite alot i really need to be able to access a mobile version of the forum like i can for the main site so i can quickly reply to posts etc (http://donnasdream.co.uk should show a mobile site on most touch screen phones).

Does anyoneknow anything i can do to get this working, even if its a crude work-around (the mobile site is more for me to use as i dont think the majority of the visitors to the site will use it).

Many thanks in advance

1. Spammers – use Human Test to prevent them from registering the first time around. I can’t recommend Akismet because of the false positives and the fact that it doesn’t block all spammers.

2. Translation – not sure what to tell you. Translation takes time.

3. What needs to be managed with search engine traffic? If you have an XML sitemap, the search engines will follow it. If not, they follow links, unless you don’t want them to.

4. I don’t recommend anything other than bbPress, but only because I have never used anything else. The versions available now are standalone and in the future bbPress will be a WordPress plugin.

Sorry. Here’s the link: http://completeorganizingsolutions.com/forum

WordPress, then bbPress in a sub folder.

Vanilla 2 is here (http://vanillaforums.org) and they are working on a full integration with WordPress.

Even Matt M. is supporting it. Start packing your bags

[VirtualityStudio]

For anybody else out there that is having this problem, this worked for me:

http://www.wpwebhost.com/make-bbpress-theme-match-with-wordpress-by-deep-integration/

still needs some tweaking, but overall… total match!!!! yay!

[johnjos]

Thanks chris. i will try that, i seriously hope it works.

I have a WordPress website and want to add a forum (message board). If I wanted to use bbPress do I setup a bbPress forum first and then integrate it into WordPress or can I install bbPress in WordPress and then set up the forum?

[chrishajer]

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/configphp

[chrishajer]

You need to temporarily rename that config.php file to something else to allow the installer to continue, then change the name back. Or find the code that prevents bbPress from installing when it finds a config.php, and disable that so the installation can continue. I would just rename the file for a minute or two while you install bbPress, then change it back.

[johnjos]

I want to add a forum to this site and as i run the installer i get this message “An old config.php file has been detected in your installation. You should remove it and run the installer again. You can use the same database connection details if you do.”

BBpress has been added in the forum folder in the root where the config.php file for the existing site to which i want to add a forum for. e.g mysite.com/forum(bbpress). It is asking me to remove the config file and if i remove the config file than the site won’t work. Has anyone got any suggestions, i have read through that some people managed to install bbpress with existing non-wordpress sites.

thanks in advance.

[johnjos]

I came to bbpress in the hope that forum would be as great as wordpress. I hope i am right and can get the installation done.

Is that a BBpress forum on your site?. Did you manage to integrate with your forum with non-wordpress site?. thanks.

[Rich Pedley]

Well bbPress as a plugin is progressing, and last official word was that there would be a testable version in a few weeks.

[VirtualityStudio]

it strikes again…

put require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/home/xxxx/public_html/blog/wp-load.php’); into bb-config to get my functions to load and it gave me this error:

Warning: require_once(/home/xxxx/public_html/forum/home/xxxx/public_html/blog/wp-load.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxx/public_html/forum/bb-config.php on line 70

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/xxxx/public_html/forum/home/xxxx/public_html/blog/wp-load.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/xxxx/public_html/forum/bb-config.php on line 70

also tried with:

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../../blog/wp-load.php’);

and it did the same thing, just with the dots after forum/

any ideas?????

[Darfuria]

I’ve stopped caring now. As long as something comes out that integrates simply with WordPress, I don’t care what it is. As long as I never have to use SimplePress again.

[VirtualityStudio]

I tried that and it would stack it on the end anyway… so i would get for example

home/user/directory/forum/home/user/directory/blog/file.php

out of desperation i tried the absolute path

just tried something else… I took the important parts out of the header and footer files and put them into the bbpress template files. it is loading now… sort of.

now onto the game of figuring out how to get some wordpress functions to work. I have the sliding door theme in wordpress, so ugghhh……..

thanks for your help!
