Hello,

I have a website with WordPress as the mainsite and vBulletin as a forum. After doing lots of research on bbPress, I quickly understood that bbPress is far superior for my needs and would fit extremly well

I do however have one problem, and that is that I have lots of users and posts that I can’t loose. I’d like to transfer my users login info as well as all the posts and threads.

Are there any scripts for converting a vBulletin database to a bbPress database?

Thanks for all help.

bbpress is a standalone forum it doesn’t really go into wordpress. A lot of people create a theme that looks like the wordpress one, like this site.

Home, Plugins, About, Docs, Blog, and Download is WP

Forums is bbPress

I help out people with that stuff: wpbbpthemes.org

[gerikg]

if you have access to the database delete all tables that start with bb_

Hi, I am a Newbie. I have downloaded and installed WordPress and bbPress locally. I used the same database for wordpress and bbpress. I was able to open both of them at the following locations.

http://localhost/ (wordpress)

http://localhost/bbpress/ (bbpress)

Now, how can open bbpress forums on the wordpress site? I am trying to create a website where one of the pages contains forums.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I started another thread for this problem I’m having, though it’s an extension of the other.

I installed bbpress and it worked fine. I wanted to change the URL and started deleting and re-installing bbpress, not realizing I was leaving behind SQL tables, as zaerl told me.

Now I want to delete bbpress and reinstall as it was a fresh install. How can I do this?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi all,

I have a wordpress website, let’s say its http://www.mysite.com. WordPress is installed in the website root, so that when you navigate to http://www.mysite.com, you get the wordpress blog. I recently installed bbpress at http://www.mysite.com/bbpress.

One of the first plugins I installed is BB Wysiwyg editor, but it fails to work properly. After some debugging, I found the following:

http://www.mysite.com/bbpress/my-plugins/bb-wysiwyg-editor/js/jwysiwyg/jquery.wysiwyg.gif is correctly displayed on my browser.

http://www.mysite.com/bbpress/my-plugins/bb-wysiwyg-editor/js/jwysiwyg/jquery.wysiwyg.jpg is correctly displayed on my browser.

[css]

http://www.mysite.com/bbpress/my-plugins/bb-wysiwyg-editor/js/jwysiwyg/jquery.wysiwyg.css causes wordpress 404 error page to show up on my browser.

[js]

http://www.mysite.com/bbpress/my-plugins/bb-wysiwyg-editor/js/jwysiwyg/jquery.wysiwyg.js causes wordpress 404 error page to show up on my browser.

[txt]

Just for kicks, I created a new file called test.txt under that same folder, and it is also displayed correctly.

Needless to say, all of the above files are physically there, I can clearly see them on my ftp client. So, something is going on with certain file types. It seems like wordpress allows some files to be correctly returned to the browser, while others are banned or something like that.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Are there any config options that could solve this issue? I’ve been googling for quite a while without finding a solution.

Thanks!

@ kevinjohngallagher and ashfame thanks for your interest..

but I don’t know how to hardcoding html..

can you please explain … thnks

p.s I’ve also integrate both wp and bbpress

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

yes hardcoding html would be your best bet

[kevinjohngallagher]

Why don’t you just hardcode the HTML and point it towards the form handler that you want to process it?

Dynamically getting wordpress and bbPress to play nice together via deep integration can be a bit of a pain especially if you try and make one do the work of the other.

Hi,

I am using geshi library in wordpress for syntax highlighting. This is implemented using a plugin (code colorer).

Geshi library is also used on my bbpress forum (bbpress is not integrated with wp).

I am using sql query to show latest bbpress posts on wp homepage. The issue is that I have to include bb-load.php to run the query, which causes the error that geshi is already included (since wp included it in header).

How to resolve this issue?

One option is to use wp conditionals so that geshi is not loaded when its is_home()

Another way is to use RSS parsing instead of db query to show the forum posts on wp home.

For some reason, I don’t want to use either of them at this time.

So, how can I “unload” geshi.php from wp/bbp on my wp home?

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

If this is a problem with the forum at wordpress.org you would get more response reporting the error there, since the version of bbPress they use there is not a default installation by any means.

I’ve tried to load bbpress into wp config via

if ( !defined(‘BBDB_NAME’) )

require_once(ABSPATH.’bbpress/bb-load.php’);

then I call <?php login_form(); ?> into wp template where i want to show it…

it works fine.. but there is a problem…

when i open my wp-admin … all colors and buttons has gone..just wp structure still there..

look at this screenshot

http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/7772/wpadmin.jpg

when I remove this code

if ( !defined(‘BBDB_NAME’) )

require_once(ABSPATH.’bbpress/bb-load.php’);

then admin works fine… but i need this code to show bbpress login/registration into wp..

please guide me where I am wrong…

Thanks

[Ryan Hellyer]

Yes, but the following is quite literal:

This page is a work in progress. Please come back later for updated information.

I haven’t updated it for the new version yet since it’s still in beta. Those instructions won’t work at all with the current version.

I’ll add a note about that to save confusing people.

[pagal]

I want to disable wordpress own registration method.. I want to use wordpress registration/login via my forums…

like http://www.weddingbee.com/ registration ( on top)

I want to call bbpress login form <?php login_form(); ?> to my wordpress blog.

then users can register/login from this form…

how can i achieve this..

many thanks

Pagal

Great plugin, now I have to rethink my site about deep integration…(wpbbpthemes.org)

BTW you have two instructions:

1. http://pixopoint.com/help/theme-integrator/ from http://pixopoint.com/theme-integrator-alpha-launch/

2. http://pixopoint.com/products/pixopoint-theme-integrator/

People cannot use IE to place ratings on plugins on the wordpress site.

For example rating the “share and follow” pluing with IE give this error page….

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/share-and-follow/?rate=5&topic_id=13964&_wpnonce=0de7c56cd6

on screen error

“Your attempt to do this has failed.

Please try again.

Back to WordPress Plugins.”

This has only been tested and not working with IE8. It will most likely exibit the same problems on every version of IE.

[Ryan Hellyer]

Thanks for testing it. I’ll hopefully get back to this in a few weeks.

Strange I didn’t notice that bug with .html being missing. I guess it was so obvious to me I just glanced over it.

[chrishajer]

What version of bbPress are you using?

Is it integrated with WordPress?

AND

Are you using a customized theme? If so, try the included default kakumei theme and see if the functionality works.

Works good without deep integration, thank you.

I added a specific page number and nothing.

Then I visited the specific page then it started generating the code to the uploads folder.

In the admin section and your screen-shot (http://pixopoint.com/uploads/theme_integrator_adminpage1-480×668.png) notice it doesn’t have “.html” after.

<?php require( '/homepages/0/xxx/htdocs/xxx/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/pixopoint-theme-integrator/chunk1' ); ?>I added html and it’s working so far.

I’m still going…

I’m having the same problem. I have nothing set other than the default settings. Nothing is being written to the uploads folder.

Also: “Chunks of text to remove” boxes numbers keep increasing, it started with 3 boxes now it’s 11 boxes with nothing in them.

I’m using Version 1.0.2 beta

I need some help with getting bbpress on my wordpress blog. I am totally confused and have not a clue on where to go for help. Can someone give me simplified directions on what to do?

[xarzu]

I went the PHP route.

At the top of register.php I put this code:

<?php

header( ‘Location: http://www.arguemax.com/wordpress-2.9.2/wordpress/wp-login.php?action=register&#8217; ) ;

and it works.

[xarzu]

While I try several combinations of this I thought I would throw this out for consideration.

PHP is not like HTML. PHP generates HTML or browser code on the server and spits it out onto the browser on the client side. I am just thinking now that maybe you cannot use this method of redirection because the functionality is overwritten. I am just asking. Has anyone tried this redirection method with PHP before?

As I type this, I am deleting the browser histrory/memory to see if that helps because so far this method does not redirect anything.
