I’m afraid you need to have a prefix for your tables in wordpress.

This *should* be part of the documentation.

For help in changing the table prefix of ryour wordpress tables, you’ll have to head to the wordpress support forums.

I’m using the newest bbPress version.

How can I resolve/fix this? (:

[kevinjohngallagher]

bbPress is built to be a standalone software that can share logins with WordPress. It loads it’s own theme.

The best thing to do is to make your own bbPress theme that looks like your wordpress theme.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Yes,

we’ve seen this before,

you cannot have a blank entry for your WordPress table prefix and integrate with bbpress1.0.

I am presumig you’re using bbpress1.0 (you’ve not mentioned it).

Hello bbPressers! (:

I’ve got some problems with integrating WordPress into my bbPress install.

What am I doing wrong?

There just simply no $table_prefix in wp-config.php

I hope someone can help me with this.

With Kind Regards,

FMA

I had searched for a ticket or post but couldn’t find anything. However, saw some posts about problems with deep integration with WordPress and, separately, Permalinks.

Clicking RSS links within the body of a page (ie, “RSS feed for this topic”, etc.) results in the following error on Google Chrome (5.0.375.86 beta):

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 10 at column 44: Entity ‘raquo’ not defined

Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

This is not happening with Firefox. Also, everything is fine if you were to manually copy the link and add it as a subscription to Google Reader.

I have verified that this is happening regardless of the Permalinks scheme. I have not done any integration with WordPress for this instance of bbPress, although I am running WordPress on a separate subdomain on the same host.

BTW, similar thing is happening with the version of bbPress currently up at bbpress.org/forums, ie it blows up in Chrome / fine in Firefox, although it’s a different error.

Quote: If you’re using BuddyPress, you’re not talking to the people behind the bbPress you’re using. the bbpress that works with BuddyPress is a different beast, and for some reason they decided not to rename it, so we get the support questions and bad rep – constantly!

You know this is the first time that’s actually been explained (that I could find anyway).

I paid for an install of wpmu / buddypress / bbpress from the guys over at premium wpmu – and had some trouble understanding why there were 2 installs of bbpress. I guess this explains it (unless I’m still missing something) – so thanks so much.

Download a fresh copy of WordPress and upload it via FTP.

[chrishajer]

What versions of the software are you running?

That looks like a WordPress error – did you integrate WordPress and bbPress and if so, how did you do it?

What were you doing when you first got that error?

What changes have you made recently?

Hi,

I have the same proble as gerikg: the “Chunks of text to remove” boxes numbers keep increasing but no php-code is generated. As well no html-file or any files from pixopoint are generated in the Worpdress upload-folder.

Any idea why?

Cheers,

Thomas

Well, I’m not sure where to report this, but I found a bug with bbpress deep integration with wordpress when the wp-super cache wordpress plugin is installed and activated.

bbpress deep integration is not supported, so I’d report this to the WordPress Plugin Developer, and hopefully they’ll add something to the FAQ

[yangt299]

Well, I’m not sure where to report this, but I found a bug with bbpress deep integration with wordpress when the wp-super cache wordpress plugin is installed and activated. When this happens, the bbpress forum will return the dreaded white screen of death. Just deactivate wp-super cache and deep integration will work fine again.

Hope this helps someone out. Moderators, please feel free to move this thread if it’s in the wrong place. Thanks!

It’s good that bbpress is still somewhere in the list but don’t kid yourself, you won’t see bbPress as a stable WP plugin this year. It would take a great deal of work to make it happen, Matt would have to assign a dedicated coder which he is not likely to do.

Even if all backward compatibility was completely ignored (which will likely happen) it still could not likely be released this year.

Sam indirectly helped quite a bit by all his work in making 1.x use backpress but there will still have to be major refactoring. JJJ’s plugin attempt still uses backpress. But they can’t do that as an official WordPress plugin, the overhead would be staggering and would instantly get a bad reputation.

I am begging anyone that will listen to NOT call it bbPress because there will be major confusion. There will be nearly ZERO compatibility with all previous bbPress themes, plugins and advice. The entire bbpress.org forum will become a mess of tangled support questions for standalone vs plugin version questions.

Then there will be bbPress plugins that are actually installed into WordPress to supplement bbPress. That will certainly confuse newbies.

Just call it the wp-forums plugin or something like that and make a sub-forum for support on WP.org – leave bbpress.org for the standalone version.

[wtfmatt]

sure am glad we need to play detective to know 2 cents about anything regarding bbpress.

@yutt, your wish will be granted soon enough, don’t worry. actually, matt probably won’t start this site over (bbpress.org). he will just delete it forever, along with all content and standalone packages.

then, he will probably steal half of _ck_’s code (along with a few others), silently, without any acknowledgement.

which is why, regardless of how anyone feels about matt or a plugin or whatever, there should be a fork of some kind for bbpress. at least we can preserve a standalone version and work out some kinks and have a safety net setup before matt blows us into oblivion.

@kevin, what do u mean? the 1.1 fixes are cuz the majority of ppl who install bbpress support a standalone version. why give up now?

and the next person who says “screw a standalone, bbpress isn’t meant as a standalone” needs to save their breath.

also what’s with all the vanilla salesmen? the whole point is that bbpress could be the best standalone forum software out there, esp. when you factor in the fact that along the road of many web projects some devs will decide they want to tie it in with wordpress at some point.

I solved the integration problem myself.

wordpress login

admin / settings / bbpress integration

1. change wordpress type from wordpress to wordpress mu

2. copy and paste ‘manual cookie settings’ to wp-config.php

All done.

Hope to help others.

[curtisdroppelman]

I started coding a plugin to do exactly what I asked before, I found this page very helpful. https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo

I’ll post a link to the plugin when I’m finished.

Hi,

I have bbpress deeply integrated with WordPress but I am unable to register. Here’s my website forum: http://itracki.com/forum

When I try to register, it says that “email is required” even though I have clearly inputted an email. Is anyone else having this problem? Help?

Thanks

[Gautam Gupta]

bbPress is not a plugin of WordPress, you have to install it separately as you had installed WordPress.

[Nutopia]

Hello,

I’m trying my first install of bbpress on my WordPress 3.0 site. I’ve uploaded the plugin, but when I attempt to activate it I’m taken to a screen with the following error message: “The plugin does not have a valid header.”

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks!

Edit: To answer John:

It wasn’t a dig at Sam mate. Not at all. I wasn’t a fan of Sam’s management style here, but felt he got dealt a difficult hand to play with the backPress 180 on him, and I’m a very big fan of his code in 1.0. The bbPulp site did become a pron site while an Automattic employee, and again, if there had been a post that it wasn’t going to be renewed so that anyone who wanted the data could copy it and start it again – bam, problem solved.

If it looked like, or was taken as a sly dig at Sam, i apologise entirely, it wasn’t meant that way.

Take Jane@wordpress’s post that started all of these questions. She’s giving people a heads up. She’s spreading information out to the community, so at least interested parties can answer general questions. Information then Action works best, the people at Automattic taught me that, because the do it so very well with WordPress

[hpguru]

What point use today bbPress standalone, if bbPress plugin is made soon? I wait it, because i and my users need plugin forum to my WordPress. In my forum bbPress is very fast and good but i delete it some months ago because 200 members doesn’t post more than 1-10 messages per week…

Per day 50-100 unique and nothing from AdSense. My blog AdSense is 100 €/month and 1 000 unique per day. I think plugin is better for unique to forum and for good AdSense to forum.

Good catch Gautam. It was discussed in the dev chat yesterday:
