I’m not getting a lot of help where the plug-in is actually posted. As best I can tell my settings are correct. I’m getting this response though:

URL is incorrect or connection error, please verify it (full variant): http://hoosierhoopsreport.com/bbpress/my-plugins/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/bbwp-sync.php

When you click on that link, it brings up a 404 page, but having checked my server files, it’s there. The plugin has been uploaded in the my-plugins folder of my bbPress folder.

Hi – I recently set up a forum, integrated with WordPress.

bbPress 1.02

WP 2.7

Everything is working fine, but several users are reporting that when they click the “View Profile” link they get a “User Not Found” error. I have examined their accounts in the database and have not found anything to differentiate them from other users.

I did find a thread on this forum referring to a similar error for the Key Master after setup. The solution there was to manually add a user nice name in the database. My problem is different as all users have nice names defined in the database already.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

> can you check if you use www. in any of the urls.

If I remove www in WP – website become unreachable.

If I remove www in BB (from http://www.mnenie.dp.ua to http://mnenie.dp.ua in integration section), login and logout in forum and www becomes independent at all.

[gerikg]

okay, not it. I know you probably check but check again in your admin section both WP and BB, I know I wrote this before but can you check if you use www. in any of the urls.

[vladimir.malyk]

> after you made those changes you have to “reset” your browser. Clear your cache/cookies

Obviously.

> and yes it can be the htaccess file…

for www:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

for forum:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

Options +MultiViews

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

[gerikg]

after you made those changes you have to “reset” your browser. Clear your cache/cookies and yes it can be the htaccess file…

[chrishajer]

It does suck. I always just use google like “site:bbpress.org/forum/” or “site:bbpress.org/plugins/” with my keyword.

The WordPress.org search used to suck equally hard but it got better a while back. Still sucks here. I accept that it sucks and move along.

There were some plugin attempts at better search for bbPress, but I don’t think they’d install a plugin just to improve the plugin search here. I think they used Sphinx at WordPress.org to fix their search:

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Everything dynamic in bbPress/WordPress is stored in the database, and tags are stored in one table but referenced in others. Better to fix the underlying problem.

[skixc]

Hi – I’m getting a similar error – only it occurs for some general users. I integrated BBPress 1.02 with WordPress 2.7. Everything seems to be working fine, but some users report getting a “user not found error” when the click on the “view Profile” link. I checked the database, and all have user nicenames. Any thought?

[anaon]

Thanks a lot for your help!

Actually it displays a link “view your profile” as you can see here : http://www.spleenarcana.com/forums/topic/what-are-you-listening-to-right-now

But I explained it in a bad way because I’d like a link to my WordPress profile pages, for example :

http://www.spleenarcana.com/members/admin/ (where “admin” is the nicename and I changed “author” for members)

Do you think it’s possible?

[vladimir.malyk]

Could it be due to some .htaccess stuff? I mean cookie trouble.

[vladimir.malyk]

> try adding define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.mnenie.dp.ua’ ); to bb-config

Done. Same result.

[gerikg]

The way I did it was to duplicate kakamei theme (not the blue) and put it in the my-template.

Then started with the BB header, I copied what was in the WP header. I took everything out after the body tag except for the “main” div. The BB footer I did the same. I just made sure there were enough div closing tags. Then copied over the codes that apply for the header and footer from the WP css. Most WP theme has two column one main and one sidebar. I treated BB like it was wordpress, one side the main section and the other sidebar. I treated the MAIN div as the main section and View/Hottags as the sidebar. I know this is not the best explanation but I hope you get the idea. It just takes a lot of css work.

[gerikg]

try adding define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.mnenie.dp.ua' ); to bb-config

[vladimir.malyk]

Cookie integration trouble.

1. When I’m trying integrate http://127.0.0.1/wordpress and http://127.0.0.1/forum – everything works fine.

2. But when I’m trying integrate http://www.mnenie.dp.ua and http://forum.mnenie.dp.ua – everything is bad. Login to www – causes logout forum, and login forum causes logout www.

The only difference between configurations is define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.mnenie.dp.ua’ ); in wp-config.php.

Any ideas?

[Ivaylo Draganov]

I guess the most simple (and painless) way to do this will be to redirect/rewrite the profile URL from bbPress to point to the profile URL in WordPress.

You can reference the profile by the ID – in bbPress it goes like http://example.com/bbpress/profile.php?id=1 and it is equivalent to http://example.com/wordpress/?author=1

You just need some .htaccess magic

[anaon]

Hello,

I would like to display a link to the profiles of my WordPress website on the post.php file, just below the username and avatar.

I tried a code that I found in the profile.php file : <?php echo get_user_display_name( $user->ID ); ?>

But I can’t even make it work. Is it possible to get the Worpress user nicename to create this link? I did a complete WP/BBpress integration…

Thanks a lot for your help

[carlosdelab]

Thanks, John

I will try again this night installing out of wordpress.

best

on the plugin, BuddyBar in bbPress

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddybar-in-bbpress/

I just updated to buddypress 1.1 so that it can work, would you like to get admin info!

[chrishajer]

Where did you get instructions to do it like that? I seem to recall someone posting with that status 200 “all rosy” in the past but I don’t know where those instructions are coming from.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/next-page-link-redirects-to-wordpress-login-page

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integrating-wpmu-trunk-and-bbpress-rc2#post-36959

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-integration-plugin-for-wpmu#post-36984

How about this WordPress plugin, if you’re integrated?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddybar-in-bbpress/

[johnhiler]

It looks like you’re trying to install bbPress as a plugin within WordPress?

It’s actually a separate program… you have to install it separately from WordPress. You can integrate the two, so that they have shared users.

I have been combing the forums and have found a variety of answers to this, but many are old and am wondering what the most current directions are for using WordPress headers and footers to unify the look and navigation with the BBPress section with the of my site. I have simple directory structure, i.e. wordpress in the root, bbpress as a subdirectory, and have completed cookie and user integration. Any advice or links to current threads would be great. Thanks.

[kaz1844]

here’s what I did to get a page in wordpress in my navigation bar that redirects to the bbpress part of my site: set up a page template and made sure it was selected when I set up the forum page in wordpress – the template simply included redirection code:

<?php

/*

Template Name: Forum Section

*/

?>

<?php

header( ‘Location: http://www.yourdomain.com/your-forum-name-directory&#8217; ) ;

?>

[joseffb]

Not working.

The bbpress plugin didn’t give me a domain name so I added it in, but I had to leave it off of the wp-config because if I add it in then the primary domain (with a different domain name) can’t login correctly.

Primary = theitsites.com (blog ID 1)

Secondary = channeltechcenter.com (blog ID 15)

Forum = channeltechcenter.com/forum

This is how my config files look now:

bb-config.php:

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.channeltechcenter.com’ );

Yah it’s not a WordPress plugin… it’s separate software which has plugins of its own.

There are WordPress plugins like this one that offer very basic forum functionality:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpforum/

You might want to try something like that, if you’re not comfortable installing standalone forum software…

Good luck!
