No, I was just pointing out what the lead developer of BuddyPress said about it. I don’t believe it’s in a packaged release, it’s in ‘trunk’ which is sometimes unstable. It would be worth watching the BuddyPress releases to see when it’s available for single WordPress in a stable form. It’s coming.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for jumping in, are you / twitter link telling me that BuddyPress is now available for WordPress single? Would I just download the latest version of BuddyPress even if it is MU? Is this it? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/

Thanks for clarifying _ck_ is a female. So am I!

You can’t call a WordPress function (or even a function in a WordPress plugin) without doing deep integration between WordPress and bbPress. Normally, someone would create similar functionality in a bbPress plugin so you can use that instead of trying to call the WordPress plugin:

How about this bbPress plugin from Gautam Gupta:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/social-it/

[myershenry]

It’s a WP plugin that works for posts and pages, but not for anything else, so I want to put it directly into the BBpress template – not sure where. Here’s the plugin:

And my site: http://www.selfpublishingreview.com

tonicarr, have you seen this re: WordPress single and BuddyPress?

Single WordPress support in BuddyPress trunk is already quite stable. Who's tried the latest? #wordpress #buddypress

There won’t be anything in your WordPress dashboard about bbPress. What happens when you try to access the forum URL? (and what is the forum URL?)

[Jeremy G]

Hi community,

Happy new year everybody

Just installed bbPress 1.0.2 to complete a WordPress 2.9 installation. I’m trying to add custom themes, as indicated in all tutorials i could find. This is what i did :

– created a my-templates directory at the root of the forum (same level than b-templates)

– uploaded the custom themes into this directory – themes coming from several repository on the Web, none that i did myself.

Then I cannot see any of my themes on the “appearance” tab in the admin. I tried to upload raw zip files or extracted directory but nothing is detected.

Any help is greatly appreciated !

Thanks,

Jeremy

How? there is nothing about bbpress on my WordPress dashboard, and when i visit the subdomain it just says bbpress is already installed

Plans for 1.1 have not been finalized by Matt – so there is no date of when it will be released. A lot of features are still being considered – many of them coming from the IRC chats that happen every Wednesday.

Not sure about BuddyPress for WordPress – though if they say it will happen, then it will happen. It is a very popular package, so they would probably want to integrate it with normal WordPress.

[Michael]

thierryyyyyyy:

About the Canonical plugin story, you may want to read this: https://wordpress.org/development/2009/12/canonical-plugins/

Like I said, I don’t think it will be a standalone package as, just like other Automattic products, it will need to be a part of WordPress. Look at BuddyPress, for example.

[republican1021]

I’ve hit yet another snag.

Apparently, I have bbpress installed on my site and integrated with WordPress. NOW HOW THE HECK DO I MAKE A FREAKIN FORUM AND PUT IT ON MY SITE??!!!!!

[Darfuria]

I’m just really looking forward to the development and progression of bbPress, regardless of the direction it takes. I think one of the things I’m most keen to see is for the masses to take it under their wing in much the same way millions have with WordPress, so that we have a plethora of innovative developers providing additional functionality and solutions through these forums and their own personal websites.

[sgordon]

Maybe it’s me, but I have no clue what I’m supposed to put for my database title in the very first step – as in what is hte database file usually called by default and where would I find it?

I’m running wordpress 1.9.

I’ve installed the bbpress folder renamed as “forums” in my root because if I put it under /blog/forums I get a 404 and the rss list of posts from wp

I have the database host set as the default “localhost” per suggestion

I assume ‘databse user’ and ‘database password’ are not pre-existing UN & PW but the same ones used to access the admin of WP, but if they are a way of setting new UN and PW then I’d be using the same for both BB and WP.

I’m using Yahoo as my web host

[bojan_dk]

The thing is, I converted my Phpbb3 into bbpress sucssefuly and the I integrate it with wordpress. Shoul i try the other way? Integrate WP with BBpress, and the convert my phpbb3 to BBpress?

[bojan_dk]

Newsest. 1.0

[gerikg]

A few months ago I had problem with reCaptcha activated on both “software” try deactivating bbpress’ one then try it after chrishajer’s link.

[gerikg]

What version of the softwares and how did you integrate it?

[bojan_dk]

When I integrate bbpress with wordpress, all users in bbpress became anonimus. How can I fix this?

[thekmen]

I have done a good few wordpress/bbpress cookie/log in integrations at this stage.

The easiest way I find to get it to work as expected is place the following in my bb-config.php

define('BB_AUTH_KEY',        'YOUR_AUTH_KEY');

define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'YOUR_SECURE_AUTH_KEY');

define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY',   'YOUR_LOGGED_IN_KEY');

define('BB_NONCE_KEY',       'YOUR_NONCE_KEY');

define('COOKIEHASH', md5('Domain Name'));

define('BB_COOKIEHASH', md5('Domain Name'));

$cookiehash = md5('Domain Name');

define('BB_HASH', md5('Domain Name'));

and the following in your wp-config.php

define('AUTH_KEY',        'YOUR_AUTH_KEY');

define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'YOUR_SECURE_AUTH_KEY');

define('LOGGED_IN_KEY',   'YOUR_LOGGED_IN_KEY');

define('NONCE_KEY',       'YOUR_NONCE_KEY');

define('COOKIEHASH', md5('Domain Name'));

Replace the KEY values with those generated here: https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/

Also i’m not sure which of the bbPress cookie bits is needed, I presume it’s only one of them.

Hope this helps.

So far, I think this is the best advice:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-integration-coockie-does-not-work#post-61969

[kickerman360]

Hi,

So far from browsing the forums, there is a somewhat minor issue regarding WordPress and bbPress when it comes to shared cookies and logins. Here is what happens:

WordPress Login = WordPress Dashboard

bbPress Login = WordPress Dashboard

Wordpress Login != bbPress Dashboard <– Problem

bbPress Login = bbPress Dashboard

So basically whenever I login via WordPress (there is a main site login form in the header), I can access the forums and it even shows I am logged in however when I click “Admin”, I am redirected to the forum index.

Other forum posts which didn’t have a solution (in my case atleast):

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-access-admin-dashboard

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forumbb-admin-redirects-me-to-forum

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forumsbb-admin-just-redirects-me-to-forums

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/admin-link-redirects-to-front-page

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/admin-link-doesnt-take-me-to-dashboard

Things I’ve tried:

Going directly to the mysite.com/forums/bb-admin/index.php

Checked all hash keys and other wp/bb-config.php stuff

Updated to the latest WordPress and bbPress

Deactivated all plugins (I only had Akismet and reCAPTCHA bbPress anyway)

Clearing cache (Firefox)

Trying in another browser (Internet Explorer)

Does anyone have a clear cut solution? Most people are happy with just using bbPress to get to the admin panel but it would be nice if it worked.

Hi.

I made integration BBpress and WordPress:

when I login in WordPress, automatically I logout in bbpress.

Why?

[rudy3107]

i enabled this plugin in MU blog(2.8.6) and bbpress 1.0.2

but i get this ERROR

@yutt (or is it Skull Man?) & Dailytalker:

I agree 100% with your points. ‘Simplicity is a feature’ and ‘less is more’ are great slogans, but it’s impractical to require someone to find/research/download/upload/configure zillions of plugins to do extremely basic forum tasks that are taken for granted with other programs. I want a stable forum program that contains basic features that aren’t going to stop working if a plugin developer walks away or won’t update them to work with future bbPress builds. I love bbPress but find it just too stripped-down and feature-less out of the box. Would be great to see more optional features you can use or turn off like Gravatars. The default text input interface in-particular leaves much to be desired.

Plugins like Topic Views should be incorporated into the base feature-set of BBpress as well as things like Widgets and the ability to edit themes or plugins from within the admin.

I am not a professional programmer and really admire and appreciate those who develop plugins, such as NightGunner5, Paul Hawke, Michael Adams etc. Going out on a limb here, I would guess it would not be too difficult to incorporate SOME of the more popular plugin features into the Core (especially focusing on _ck_’s best stuff as she will likely not be back). Again, I’m not talking about building in Nintendo emulators or Weatherbug displays but why the heck should someone need a plugin to display how many times a topic has been viewed?!?

@all:

Something I think base minimalists and more-base-feature advocates like yutt & Dailytalker would all agree on is that that bbPress’s admin should display plugin update notifications like WordPress’s admin does. This would be extremely helpful for everyone, especially when security risks are discovered in plugins one has running.

Haha, I bet even kevinjohngallagher would agree with me on this one!

[grassrootspa]

1) Hmm, you can really install bbPress in any folder but here is a popular setup (buddypress like this one): Try this:

Let’s say your site is leftcoastmichael.com.

In your ‘wordpress’ leftcoastmichael.com directory you have 3 wordpress file directories (wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes)

Just make a 4th file directory (forums) for all your bbPres stuff (bb-admin, bb-includes, etc).

Blam, that’s it.

2) If you want to integrate with WordPress use the same database info that you used in your WordPress config.

Hope this helps.
