This is how I’m doing it. Please, this is not the official how to on this.

PART 1

COPY Kakemi theme into my-template. Open Style.css and change this line, Theme Name: Kakumei

I changed it to Theme Name: Kakumei (Edited Theme)

Activate it, you’ll see Kakumei’s screen shot but Kakumei (Edited Theme) as it’s name.

Then open style.css of the Edited Theme and open the CSS of the WordPress theme. Their might be multiple css so look out. I make a line in the style.css at the bottom.

/*********************** WPTHEME *******************

Then start with Header.php and footer.php start copying over the codes from WP theme to BBpress theme. Slowly start looking at the classes it that the header uses and start bringing in the codes from the WP to BBpress CSS. BEWARE some of them uses the same class! so rename the WP one not the BBpress one!!! You will have to replace all the div tags and such. The only one I recommend to keep in the header is the <div id="main"> at the end. The same with the footer. but remember to put an extra </div> on the top to cover the <div id="main"> in the header. Start with that. If you can get the hang of it then you’ll be able to continue.

What happened so far…

Okay I looked through the file. Yangers101 was on the right track. There were some extra lines in the wp-config:

$bb->cookiepath = '';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '';

I took those out.

The problem: “www.” The WPMU was configured to be on website.com/blogs (without the www.)

so all the settings needed to be without the “www.” or with. One or the other on both WPMU & BBpress.

Since his host forced the www. We had to put all the www. in the configuration. BBpress didn’t like the www. in the dashboard so he logged into his DB and manually changed it.

I have buddypress install with bbforum integration working as far as it shares users etc and if you login you are logged in to both sites.

However, I can’t log out of the other if i logged in with

For example if i log in using WordPress and go to my forums I am logged in but can not log out from that location, i have to go back to wordpress to logout.

The same if I login through forum I can go to wordpress and I am logged in but I can not log out, I have to go back to forum to logout.

Clicking logout button does nothing in either scenerio.

Thanks gerikg! I just emailed you.

I don’t even want to post what I have so far. Are there any suggestions or walk throughs on how to port themes? I searched but didn’t find much.

thanks

Okay, I’ve fixed it and it’s working at the moment!

I forgot the settings in wp-admin/options.php for WordPress itself.

[hopeful4info]

Would the fact that I have bbPress working in a iframe in one of the wordpress pages be causing any problems?

[hopeful4info]

I have both wordpress and the bbpress (FOLDER) in the members directory. So where it asks for Blog address (URL) should it be https://my_site/members/ or should it be https://my_site/members/bbpress/

I’ve tried both ways and neither works. Just a scattered thought.

[hopeful4info]

Hmmm, again. I did open up, side by side, the WordPress config file and the bbpress config file and made absolutely sure that AUTH_KEY=BB_AUTH_KEY and that SECURE_AUTH_KEY=BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY and that LOGGED_IN_KEY=BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY. So, this may not be what we are looking for.

I’m wondering about the “User Role Map” settings: (Below is how I set them)

WordPress Administrator = bbPress Administrator

WordPress Editor = bbPress Member

WordPress Author = bbPress Member

WordPress Contributor = bbPress Member

WordPress Subscriber = bbPress Member

[gerikg]

look through your BB-press dashboard –> Settings—>wordpress intergration

[hopeful4info]

Hmmm, that’s interesting. I ftp’d the options-wordpress.php file down from the site and opened it in Dreamweaver. I recognize some of the comments in this as being from the “wordpress Integration settings as found in the Settings/Wordpress Integration tab of the Admin section of bbpress. This is where I set the “User Role Map”, WordPress Address (URL), Blog Address (URL), auth cookie salt, secure auth cookie salt, and logged in cookie salt.

HOWEVER, when I look into the actual options-wordpress.php file (as ftp’d down from the site) and open it up, the php code still seems to be asking for those items??? I just copied a bit of the code from that file and pasted it below. Please advise,

<table>

<tr>

<th><?php _e(‘WordPress’); ?></th>

<td></td>

<th><?php _e(‘bbPress’); ?></th>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>AUTH_KEY</td>

<td><=></td>

<td>BB_AUTH_KEY</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>SECURE_AUTH_KEY</td>

<td><=></td>

<td>BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>LOGGED_IN_KEY</td>

<td><=></td>

<td>BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY</td>

</tr>

</table>

And make sure you filled in in the BB Admin side the information under

DASHBOARD->SETTINGS->Wordpress Integration

Hi there!

Thanks for your response. Does this also affect WordPress (no MU version)?

Sorry I was a bit unclear about the exact version.

I can try the define(‘sitecookiepath’, ‘/’); , I haven’t tried that.

=====

I’ve tried the above define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ ); but it didn’t work as well.

Any further ideas what I can try?

=====

Does anyone have a plain and simple manual how to integrate WP (no MU!) with bbPress? The manual on the site seems to fail me over and over again.

[gerikg]

this is all filled out correctly? /bb-admin/options-wordpress.php

[gerikg]

as is, as the plugin appears.

[hopeful4info]

Yes, I did that and put in the line as they request on that plug-in. Still doesn’t work. But this is where I was wondering about the line: define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/members/’ );

Do I Put this in exactly as it is or do I need to change ‘COOKIEPATH’ to an actual path.

If the line is correct as is, what else could be wrong?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

There’s not necessarily a ‘correct’ way to map users across, it just depends what you want your WordPress users to be capable of in bbPress.

The bbPress Key Master is the equivalent of a WordPress Admin: it gives full control over all options for bbPress.

bbPress Admins can edit forums and users, but not access options.

bbPress Moderators can see the user list and edit topics, but not mess with forums or users.

Members can post and edit their own posts.

Inactive users can view topics, but not post… and blocked users can’t do anything at all.

[eclipsenow]

because every second post I read here seems to be trouble with integration not working out, and an enormous headache.

I just want it all to be easy. I want bbsync to work again, but like so many 3rd party things, it died. That’s why I’m having trouble committing to any CMS, one does XYZ but not ABC, requiring a plug in (that could die), the other does ABC but not XYZ which is again a 3rd party plug-in, which again could die.

I really want one software, a community portal. It has to have a nice home page, a nice blog, and a nice forum community side to it.

I want all the features of each to be CORE (no vital 3rd party functions dying) and already installed, “out of the box”. (EG: BBpress being “fully loaded” like SMF and phpbb3. Just click boxes for the functions you want to work!)

I want a “bbsync” styled function to be core. EG: Each blog article submitted by our expert authors would be automatically copied across to a forum and auto-linked to the forum.

EG: At the bottom it would say “If you enjoyed this article, please click HERE to leave a comment”.

As far as I know, the Kunena forum team for Joomla might be developing something like this for the Joomla core blog, but the core blog is VERY minimalist and doesn’t even seem to have an archive function! So my preference would be if WordPress made BBpress a “fully loaded plugin” (automatically integrated) with bbsync as a core option as well.

But if Kunena are bringing their own version of ‘Joomlablog sync’ to life with K1.6, then maybe I’ll just have to convert CMS’s.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

You could use bbPages (https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpages/) for pages. You’ll probably need to edit some code yourself though if existing plugins don’t do what you want and possibly write some of your own as well. WordPress is really more geared towards this sort of thing with regards to WYSIWIG and image management, to even allow images on bbPress you need to install a plugin and BBcode is probably the closest to WYSIWYG.

I’m sure with a lot of coding, you could get bbPress to behave like a portal, but why not just use WordPress and integrated bbPress?

[prosforpros]

BTW, I am using “require_once(‘/path/to/wordpress/directory/wp-blog-header.php’); ” for theme integration. I think this is what’s causing the registration to not work.

[gerikg]

download and install this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/ then it will tell yo the right lines to put.

Hi there!

I’ve got the same problem with a website I’m working on.

I’ve tried every option posted here, but nothing seem to work.

I am working with WordPress 2.8.4 and bbPress 1.0.2.

I can log in on the bbPress and the WordPress, but the cookie integration (so people only have to log in from 1 place, logged in into both) isn’t working, they seem to get the user information from 1 table in 1 database.

I’ve verified that the keys are the same, all the keys are defined in both wp-config.php and bb-config.php, with the same keys and the same values for the salt. I even have a define(‘cookiepath’, ‘/’);, which also doesn’t seem to work.

I also have bbPress Integration (plugin) installed in WordPress, didn’t help as well.

Anything I may have missed?

[hopeful4info]

I am looking for someone to help me with WordPress and bbPress. I have developed the wordpress site as a membership site and want to include a forum. I wasted about a month or more with SMF and couldn’t get it to work properly, so today I switched to bbPress and have it working in a iframe in one of the wordpress pages. The only problem is getting the cookies and all that to work so a person logged into the membership site can go right into the forum without having to re-log in and vice-versa.

I installed the bbpress integration plugin and went through all the set up procedures numerous times to no avail. I also went through the “WordPress Integration settings” numerous times. I have compared both the WordPress config and bbpress config files to be sure the Auth_Key, Secure_Auth_Key and Logged_In_Keys were identical and they are.

I have put the – define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/members/’ ); – line in the WPconfig file as instructed, but I just put it in exactly as shown here. I’m not sure if I should replace “cookiepath” with an actual path or if the word cookiepath is what they want.

I am not a code person, but I can get along sometimes ok. sometimes not! This is a NOT day.

Would some kind soul be able to help me with this?

If not please steer me toward someone who can help.

[Jan_d]

Did you mean this:

‘/*You will also have to manually ensure that the following constants are equivalent in WordPress’ and bbPress’ respective config files.

WordPress bbPress

AUTH_KEY <=> BB_AUTH_KEY

SECURE_AUTH_KEY <=> BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY

LOGGED_IN_KEY <=> BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY */’

If so, then yes …

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

jQuery is already bundled with bbPress (and WordPress), so you can just use

<?php bb_enqueue_script('jquery'); ?>

in your theme’s functions.php and it’ll automatically be included in your header.

Same applies for WordPress, but using wp_enqueue_script instead…

But to answer your original question use <?php bb_active_theme_uri(); ?> to output the template directory or <?php get_bb_active_theme_uri(); ?> to return it as a variable.
