I an new in bbpress, traying to help my greater daughter to install a forum, and we found the peacemaker bbpress theme, a very interesting 3 columns theme, just we was looking for. But it has not complete the templates files, (register.php and register-sucess.php do not exist) so is not posible a register for the users, and works like a demo site as it just says.
I found an one year old topic about in this forum, but I am not clear if it is the same problem.

I have installed bbpress (not integrated with WP) and a few aditionals themes to test, buy I like peacemaker. Somebody has a complete version?
“Don’t download me yet. I’m in the beginning stages of development.”
Also, interesting to see this tag: core plugin
Thanks, here is the php:
And one final question , there is a way to reinstall using the same database and directory ?

Hi all,
I do try the integration with applications but I get a problem, but really problems is that if I login on WP I lost login on bbpress and if I login on bbpress I lost login on WordPress.
I set in wp-config.php and bb-config.php with same constant:
AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY, NONCE_KEY and BB_AUTH_KEY, BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY, BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY, BB_NONCE_KEY
and I set the 3 value on bbpress setting page, I leave blank field “WordPress “secure auth” cookie salt” beacause I don’t have this field on wordpress.
I installed bbpress integration plug in on wordpress and set the url of forum and I write in wp-config file this string:
define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );
This looks promising and very exciting the say the least.

Hi,
I have installed bbpress first with my own website. Now, when I have a lot of users on it, I want to switch my website to a wordpress based website. I know it is possible if you want to install bbpress on a wordpress website. I want to ask if I can install wordpress after I have installed bbpress. i.e. I want to transfer all my users from bbpress to wordpress etc.
Thanks
Did you get this work already?
@crosescu – there’s an interesting argument that would say more people would use wordpress (and for that matter bbPress too) if the codebase werent a monolithic structure. For instance, the ability to swap out user authentication to do single-signon against a Kerberos server rather than the built-in user-auth, or against the code in Mediawiki, should I want to integrate there. My hope is that merging yet more code in wont cause the entire house of cards to collapse around our ears.
It makes perfect sense for making bbPress a plugin for WordPress.
Now that WordPress MU code has been merged into WordPress 3.0 making bbPress a plugin should be even easier. bbPress already barrows a lot of code from WordPress anyway and also bbPress uses the exact same database tables (ie taxonomy tables)
A lot more people would be using bbPress on their WordPress powered websites if the issues related to the integration of the two separate login systems no longer existed and people were also able to easily use the same theme they have on their blog.
The standalone bbPress should probably stay but i think bbPress would be used by a lot more people than it is now if it was made a plugin.
create a new kay and change it to bb-config and wp-config
go to bbpress wp integration and check again the key… follow the step
after this download and install bbpress integration for wordpress plugin add the code to your wp-config file
i’ve followed this step with my 2 site wp-bb and all works good with wp last version and bbpress 1.0.2.
Hello,
My integration between WP & BB is failed. Because if i login in WordPress, i must login again in BBpress. So the cookies aren’t the same. But wp-config and bb-config have the same AUTH Keys (So BB_AUTH_KEY and AUTH_KEY are the same (and the rest too ofcourse))
I don’t understand what i am doing wrong.
One thing is good integrated: The users. In both installation, i can logged in with every username. (that is registered)
EDIT:
When i see in bb-admin/options-wordpress.php, the AUTH KEY’s are different then the KEY’s that i have set in de bb-config and wp-config.
Thanks
You can use the same database, just use a different table prefix from where WordPress is installed (it looks like you are using forum1_ which is good.)
If you are using that database for WordPress now, then you have one of the details wrong. It’s pretty simple, but it either works or it doesn’t. If you have a detail wrong somewhere, it won’t connect.
I’ve seen some threads here and there that suggest its just a matter of using the header and footer code from your wordpress theme and applying it to your bbpress theme.
I’m a real disaster when it comes to doing a whole lot with code. I can only edit and rearrange it. I have no experience with writing any code.
I was wondering if there was anyone more experienced with performing this that I could send the needed wordpress theme files to and maybe I could receive some help with the process?
I am willing to pay for help if needed, I appreciate such generous help.

I recently changed the database host names across several sites. Nothing else changed except that.
I changed the database host names for all my wordpress installs in the config files, and they all work now.
However, simply changing the database host names in the config files for my bbpress installs did not work. I have 2 bbpress installs, and they both say “Error: Could not establish a database connection.” I then tried to edit the host name where I found it in the database, and it still does not work.
My question is what have I done wrong? Why would changing the database host name make it not work when every other database connection works?
@jcriley,
Your error message immediately tells me that either your login credentials are not correct or your database does not exist or has a wrong name. Did you create the database first before you try to install it? And by the way, I wouldn’t enter “wordpress” if i were you because that could potentially wipe out your wordpress database. You should create a separate database for bbPress and integrate the two if you like.
The only time I’ve seen this happen is when the integration was not done properly. You mentioned “sometimes”, so does that mean at times it works? Or are you seeing the symptoms of logging in on wordpress does not log you in on bbpress, you would have to log in again on bbpress and vice versa? Is that what you’re seeing?
I’ve watched the video and it seems to be very comprehensive, however, upon step 1, I’m getting the following error:
“There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.
Please check the settings, then try again.”
I’ve input the following in the fields
wordpress
mywpdatabase username
mywpdatabase password
localhost
utf8
this field blank
forum1_
you have any suggestions?
Hey royho, I don’t really know what you mean by that.
I have it had mysite.com/forums
its on the same database as wordpress and I followed the wordpress integration steps
In case this may help you guys. Here is a video tutorial of how it is done quick and easy.
http://designintheraw.com/2010/tutorials/bbpress-wordpress-integration/
Respecto a la traducción al español de bbPress, yo había seguido las instruciones que dan en Ayuda WP http://ayudawordpress.com/como-integrar-bbpress-y-wordpress/ que suelen ser las usuales para la traducción de WP, es decir: colocar el archivo es_ES.mo a la carpeta “bb-includes/languages” Pero no funcionó. Luego de dar vueltas me di cuenta que en el archivo bb-config.php, precisamente antes de la última línea a modificar “define( ‘BB_LANG’, ‘es_ES’ );” se encuentra la explicación, que no es otra cosa que incluir el archivo es_ES.mo en una carpeta o fichero de nombre my-languages a colocar en el archivo raiz de bbPress, (y no dentro de bb-includes). Así lo hice y funcionó de inmediato.
I’m hoping I did this correctly…
I think it was step 2 of the install where you enter in your database details..
I entered in my wordpress database details so that they share the same user database.
This was the correct thing to do?
Also, it seems to work, my admin account worked for both the site and on the forum so it looks like my account is shared.
One problem though, when I login on the site and then go to the forums sometimes it is still logged out on the forums.
WP forums use bbpress. The Post form address is https://wordpress.org/support/bb-post.php for the Post button on WP forums. But for a guy who says Code is Poetry, it is really sad that he isn’t even allowing many people to participate actually. Last day I talked with a developer who has created many plugins for bbpress. He said Matt replied to his mail asking him to just stay on track, when he aksed about joining the bpress developers. Matt please shed some light. Should we continue using bbpress or do we need to find an alternative?
Hey guys,
In case anyone finds this useful; we’ve put together a video tutorial on how to install bbPress:
http://www.pagelines.com/posts/how-to-install-bbpress/
we will also be following it up with one on how to “deep integrate” with a WordPress theme
I’m sorry. I can’t edit my post anymore.
I want to see their username. Because i want to link to the wordpress profile page instead of the standard bbpress profile page. So it must be: example.com/members/username and not example.com/forum/profile/displayname.
I can edit the link in a file by myself, but i don’t know how to call the username (for the user that is logged in) and not the display name.
