Hi,
I’ve gone through the process twice now and each time I create an account in WordPress it doesn’t log me into the forum automatically or create a user in the forums user table in MySQL.
Can anyone help me here?
I’m not sure this is the right forum but whatever I installed bbpress and everything went fine until the last part Key Username I put my wordpress username and it gave me an error but it didn’t go back. So i just went to my site url now i get this:
Oh dear!
bbPress is already installed.
Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?
when i just go to the main url part of the site, any help would be apreciated
Thanks
> – can bbpress be inserted into my wordpress page? (i think i read it cannot but still can’t believe it)
Not really. You would need to create a theme for bbPress that looks like your WordPress theme.
I really am starting to think i might have done a mistake with going for BBpress…
questions I have about the whole thing:
– appart from using the same DB for user (wordpress+bbpress) is there a good reason for using BBpress?
(it seems very limited, i keep getting errors form the official site(usually not a good sign))
– can bbpress be inserted into my wordpress page? (i think i read it cannot but still can’t believe it)
(I would like to have that very limited forum(bbpress) inside my wordpress otherwise i’ll go with a full on phpbb, if it’s the same thing??!!)
Hi,
i just installed my new bbpress forum with wordpress 2.9.2 integration which works fine… now i see how to add topics which is nice, but just can’t find anything about adding “forum main theme”
I am not talking about “design theme” (which by the way you guys gotta change that it’s ridiculous to call forums by “forum main theme” very confusing and almost impossible to find anything that is not related to the actual “design theme”)
anywho, how do i add new forums “main theme” to my forum??
it workkkkkk!!
the problema was wordpress 3.0! with wp 2.9 is all ok!
Thx Chris for linking to te previous topic!
Kevin,
I just want to mention that my wordpress site is currently using custom permalinks, without any problems.
Here the bbpress who couldn’t use them, i want to understand for example if i’m not on Apache server so that means my wordpress site wouldn’t use the custom permalinks (right) ?!

wp-blog-header.php loads wp-load.php & template-loader.php
I think if we are not going to use WordPress themes in bbPress then we can use wp-load.php but I think wp-blog-header.php won’t hurt.
Your link looks interesting, I will have to see.
nothing…always blank page…uff….i find also this line
require_once( dirname( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . ‘../wp-blog-header.php’ );
define(‘WP_BB’, true);
but nothing…blank page…grrr

I tried and When I inserted this keys (from https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt) in my config files, cookie integration don’t work.
Also I checked with salt (from https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt) and my old 32 chars keys – and integration still didn’t work.
When I had returned short solt keys values (32 chars length) and my short 32 chars keys then cookie integration began to work.
Also I have noticed that in the http://jakshi.org.ua/wp-admin/options.php lack of secure_auth_salt keys, all other salt keys exist.
jakshi, just for argument sake can you try eight keys instead? https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt
Concerning to my issue – I am using php 5.2.13 (I know this exactly, because I’m self hosting my blog on worpdress 
)
I’ll try to remove ?> in the end of the wp-config.php.
May be it’s significant for cookie inegration.
@ashfame, I emailed you. Yes I have all the WP files sent to me.
I get hosting from 1and1. For me to use php5 I have to put a line “AddType x-mapp-php5 .php” into the htaccess file when I don’t have that line I get a 500 error. On top of that WP one click update or install doesn’t work. I don’t know how to prove it to you.
It can be removed from any php file and its something debatable
Also the official documentation suggests that omitting the ?> at the end of the PHP file is helpful in some cases.
@ryan
I am interested in the details of its working. so how does it work?
@gerikg
having ?> at the end is not specific to wp-config.php
It can be removed from any php file and its something debatable
I am still unsure about the PHP5 thing you mentioned. I would need an explanation to believe in it.
And I shoot you an email using your contact form. Did you get that?
-wp-config.php file does NOT have “?>” at the end.
-make sure your hosting company is using php5. They might have it but not using it. Search on google “use php5 [hosting company’s name]” and you will find a tutorial. It usually means adding something to you .htaccess file.
-blank screen means it 98% time is a plugin that is activated.
If you STILL having trouble you can email me with your information.
May be we(I) are missing something.
How do you think – what I should missing to have trouble with 64 bit keys and haven’t such trouble with 32 bit keys?
When you have time, I can afford you data that you need (answer questions about setup steps, configs, screenshots of settings, part of DBs etc.)
Add the code just after this :
<?php
/**
* The base configurations of bbPress.
*
* This file has the following configurations: MySQL settings, Table Prefix,
* Secret Keys and bbPress Language. You can get the MySQL settings from your
* web host.
*
* This file is used by the installer during installation.
*
* @package bbPress
*/
You guys are missing out something. I will come up with something to help once I am free from my schedule.
