How do I display bbpress topics from a specific category in wordpress?
I read over _ck_’s method, but still have no idea: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-show-bbpress-info-inside-wordpress-without-full-integration
I find your main article on bbPress + WordPress integration seriously lacking (it cost me an hour of puzzling and experimentation). Once I got it, it was a 10 minute job. Suggest you update with this article:
Topic: Cue the band…
Jane@wordpress (who i love) has just written a new blog:
http://wordpress.org/development/2010/02/buddypress-for-one-and-all-3/
buddyPress now works with singe installations of WordPress (rather than MU), and has most of the backPress nonsense taken out. It now also fits into your theme automatically, AND can be administered from the WordPress admin panel.
I don’t know about you, but i think that sovles the 3 most common issues people ask about on this board.
Given all the hacks that Andy and the buddyPress team had to make to get bbPress1.0 into buddyPress, and given that they’re unlikely to do it again for 1.1 (as the functionality added is already in buddyPress thanks to WP functions), does anyone else feel like they’re wasting their time here?
Hello,
I’ve recently installed bbPress and followed all the instructions during the installation to allow bbPress to work alongside of our WordPress website. My concern is that it does not seem to have successfully integrated as I cannot access bbPress admin area, neither by the link on the forum or by the WordPress admin area in settings, there seems to be no type of connection between the two. Also when I tried to delete a post, it actually doesn’t, it just stays there.
Did I do something wrong? Help is appreciated.
Hello friends.
is there a way to disable the wordpress integration but keep the bbpress users?
now bbpress users are coming from WP DB and are not stored in BBpress DB.
I want that all the users from WP DB will be imported to BBpress DB.
is it possible?
Either way, don’t think it really matters.
Personally i’ve found that pointing my post form towards WP is better because if something is going to change/break in a future version it will happen in WordPress long before bbPress. People are patching/plugins/writing-guides on how ot make bbPress work with WordPress not the other way around, so i stick with the strongest/most stable software as my login base. But really, thats just me being careful; i shouldn’t matter
Ok, i’m coding on my iPhone – expect errors.
function kjg_custom_feed_rewrite($wp_rewrite)
{
$feed_rules = array
(
‘forum/(.+)/(.+)’ => ‘/bbpress_folder/index.php?variable1=’ . $wp_rewrite->preg_index(1) . ‘&variable2=’ . $wp_rewrite->preg_index(2),
);
$wp_rewrite->rules = $feed_rules + $wp_rewrite->rules;
}
add_filter(‘generate_rewrite_rules’, ‘kjg_custom_feed_rewrite’);
function kjg_add_custom_page_variables( $public_query_vars )
{
$public_query_vars[] = ‘variable1’;
return $public_query_vars;
}
add_filter( ‘query_vars’, ‘kjg_add_custom_page_variables’ );
Basically, whenever you try and load “domain.com/forum” the .htaccess file would load wordpress. WordPress then hits it’s own htaccess rules (how it does permalinks etc), which it stores as an array you can manipulate and it then loads the page you tell it with the $_GET variables you can also maipulate. The thing is, WordPress does this AFTER it’s loaded it’s variables and plugins, but obviously before it’s done any form of outputting to the screen… so in theory you could just tell it to load the bbpress index instead, and as it’s already got wp-load.php processed, all of the user-ids/logins/permissions etc should be already generated – not to mention, you could call WP functions etc.
Basically, it’s deep integration but form the WordPress side rather than the bbpress side. There might be some BackPress function un-compatability (i can think of a few right now that would be iffy) – but it basically looking at the problem from a different viewpoint.
Instead of trying to bridge WordPress and bbpress, why not have WordPress load bbPress as a “plugin”, and then we could take advantage of plugins like WP-Role-manager and facebook connect etc.
Ok, my code may be very very wrong, give me a day to hack out something
Hey!
I finally setup bbpress inside http://example.com/forum/
Of course I would like to use permalinks, because they are already working with my WordPress-Blog http://example.com
I am not a specialist in setting up .htaccess, so I would like to request your help.
The “main” .htacess reads as follows:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Redirect permanent /zsblog http://example.com
Redirect permanent /zsblog/feed/ http://example.com/feed/As you can see my blog runs inside /zsblog which is located in / on my server.
bbpress runs inside /zsblog/forum
Here the .htaccess of “bbpress”:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /forum
RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/?$ /forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^topic/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /topic.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^topic/([^/]+)/?$ /topic.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/([^/]+)/?$ /tags.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/?$ /tags.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /profile.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/?$ /profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^view/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /view.php?view=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^view/([^/]+)/?$ /view.php?view=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/?$ /rss.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/forum/([^/]+)/?$ /rss.php?forum=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/topic/([^/]+)/?$ /rss.php?topic=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/tags/([^/]+)/?$ /rss.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/profile/([^/]+)/?$ /rss.php?profile=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>Unfortunately, when clicking on a new created forum or on a topic I get redirects to random(?) articles inside my WordPress-Blog.
Any ideas how I can fix that?
BTW.:
Option +MultiViewsdidn’t work for me. Need to set it up separately.Thanks in advance!
All the best,

I found a way to use facebook-connect for bbpress.
1st
install the “bbpress Integration” plugin for wordpress
2nd
integrate bbpress to wordpress
3rd
install “Facebook Connect” Plugin of Adam Hupp (the current version is 1.0) and follow the instructions
4th
Integrade a fb-connect button on your bbpress site (in wordpress its done automatically)
Thats it. I only found some minor problems with umlauts like “ä ö ü” but this shouldn’t be a problem for native English speakers…its only a problem for all others (including me) .
JimJiber,
I, we, all feel your pain – but you’re confusing two issues here; because you’re viewing bbPress as a WP plugin. It’s not, it’s a standalone forum, and there is a “bridge” that connects the logins/users to wordpress.
1) bbpress is very very simple to set up and use if you have basic technical knowledge (ability to edit a file and FTP).
2) bbPress is not simple to integrate into WordPress.
It is random, annoying, and requires you to know so much it’s unreal, and most of the information you’re meant to know is buried inside forum threads you’ll struggle to find. If you want to stick with it, shoot us over the steps you took, linking which of the guides on here you followed would be great if possible, and we’ll try and sort you out.
The forum appears to be a completely seperate entity to my WP site
It is, and will be.
Seems like no-one can make a decent forum for wordpress.
You’re kinda right. This is actually really good, but WordPress has a tendancy to change it’s securty protocols quite randomly and often. 2.1, 2.5 and 2.7 all had major changes and whenever that comes we’re all playing catch up. Sadly automattic took the decison to integrate bbPress into BackPress and then decided not to integrate WordPress into BackPress, so we’re left in the state of limbo you now see.
this has been a total waste of an afternoonand I needed to vent.
Thats ok, i cant think of one person that has come to bbpress and gotten integration working on their first day, let alone afternoon. Matt (head of automattic) annouced that Integration was the highest priority to get working back in December, but then decided we should work on anonymous posting instead, so we’re all a tad confused.
Before deciding on forum software or swapping to joomla, i’d spent the time doing a bit of research on them all. There are positives and negatives for many of these – but on the plus side you now know the 2nd biggest flaw of bbPress
Hardly intuitive is it?
No, but then it’s not trying to be
My suggestion is to get your forums working first, without trying integration. Then once you know it’s all working you can follow one of the countless integration guides here, and shout us when things go wrong. Sadly, it’s the best that can happen.
Topic: bbPress Simple?
I have spent the whole afternoon trying to set up a simple forum for my website http://www.bathastronomers.co.uk. It really needs to be nothing special – it’s just a place for a small group of astronomers to chat and arrange observing sessions. People need to be able to register, post and receive email notifications of replies.
So, first I tried Simple:Press. Installation was pretty simple and it played nicely with WordPress but it is soooo slow – to the point of being unusable.
So then I found this site and was very excited by the slogan “Simple, fast, elegant”… boy, was I in for a shock!
I eventually got the thing installed and spent some time getting it integrated using the “bbPress Integration” plugin. After going through all the steps I got no error meassages until I tried to login. I tried my bbPress username and password but no dice. Then I thought “hey, maybe it is now integrated and I can use my WP usernam and password!”
Yeah, right. That would have been too easy.
I must say that while I totally respect the efforts of the guys making these plugins, the installation procedure and documentation is laughable – it is like some bizarre logic puzzle or riddle. I am not a n00b but I just cannot get it to work. The forum appears to be a completely seperate entity to my WP site and I cannot login. And it’s not just me – a quick google search reveals that there are plenty of people wrestling with the setup of this “simple” forum plugin.
Sorry for the long post but this has been a total waste of an afternoon and I needed to vent. Seems like no-one can make a decent forum for wordpress. Perhaps I will use Joomla for the site…
