I’m assuming you have it like this:

/site1/wordpress files

/site2/wordpress files

and not /site1/wordpress/wordpress files

Right?

If so, just put it the site1 folder as a ‘forums’ folder and you should be fine.

Hi

I have just registered as I am looking to add a forum to my wordpress website and need some basic advice.

I have read a number of posts on the subject and also the installation instructions, integration instructions and FAQ’s and I am getting very confused.

I guess I need to know where in my directory I install the bbPress. Do I have to install it in the root file, or in one of the WP files? My problem is that I have a number of websites, each using a different install of wordpress as the basis of the website, within my root file.

Will an installation of bbPress at root level affect all of the websites?

Or do I install bbPress in one of the WP folders relevant to the specific website?

How do I create a link from the specific website – do I simply create a new page on the blog called “Forum” and use the url address for the page within the bbPress installation at some point. I guess this might become clear to me as I progress with the installation, but not knowing where to put the installation at this stage I am unaware, so a heads up of what to expect will help.

Thanks.

I’m afraid that we don’t understand what you mean? You want the 1.0.* admin management to go back to the .9 version’s admin? Unfortunately that is not gonna happen as they are working to make the admin management identical to wordpress.

Hello

I have installed bbPress 1.0.2 today here:

http://www.newlondonsingers.org.uk/blog/wp-content/bbpress

Step 1 & 2 of the install did not have any errors, but step 3 said could not create Forum

I selected options to integrate WordPress (v 2.6.3) which is here

http://www.newlondonsingers.org.uk/blog/

I also have the plugin Members-only installed (v 0.6.7)

Am using PHP 4 and MSSQL 4.1.22

I can’t access bbPress – assume I go to :

http://www.newlondonsingers.org.uk/blog/wp-content/bbpress

which then goes to here: http://www.newlondonsingers.org.uk/blog/wp-content/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php

– says Oh dear!

bbPress is already installed.

Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?

Please can you help?

Many thanks

followed the step by step BBpress installer. got close but not close enough. Here’s what it’s telling me. I understand the the bb-config was not writable, I know how to change file permissions. My question is: how / where do I go to manually update this info?

>>> WordPress cookie keys not set.

>>>>>> Your “bb-config.php” file was not writable.

>>>>>> You will need to manually re-define “BB_AUTH_KEY”, “BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY” and “BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY” in your “bb-config.php” file.

Okay, so I’ve integrated bbPress with my WordPress DB and theme. I’ve customized it quite a bit but I’m still having one very annoying problem.

http://scrawlfx.com/forum/topic/welcome-to-the-forums

See that huge space on every response? Why does that happen? How do I remove it? I’ve looked in the CSS but have found nothing. Please help me out.

I am having problems with the cookies and login integration part. I followed the guide yet nothing seems to help. I edited both configure files and installed the plugin into wordpress everything seems good in the back system yet i cant get the user login part to work together.

My site is http://bloggerhouse.com/ and the forum is http://bloggerhouse.com/forum

Any help to getting this to work would really be appreciated thanks!

Hello,

I saw a somewhat similar post on here about integrating bbpress into wordpress pages, but what I want to do is relatively simpler than that.

Basically all I want to do is to “embed” a given bbpress forum into a static webpage. I’d like to not have the top header and all of the navigational links appear, but I’ll take what I can get for now ; P

Using the <php include> tag I was able to embed a forum into a webpage, but the problem is that the area I want to embed into is 500px wide. The bbpress forum is inside of that area but also spills out onto the rest of the page. The php include is being placed into a <div> area and I want the width fixed while the height changes based on how much content is inside it.

My code looks like:

<?php include(‘http://example.com/forums/forum.php?id=12&#8217;); ?>

I’m sure the best way to do what I want would be something like:

<?php include(‘../forums/forum.php?id=12’/main_forum); ?>

but I’m not too sure.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

I want to display login, pass of BBP in WP.

Here is my post:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-integration-login

have you found another solution?

[chrishajer]

What version of bbPress and WordPress did you integrate?

This plugin used to work with 0.9 to restore keymaster access:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/

[chrishajer]

My guess is that it’s a problem with the permalink setup. Try turning off permalinks in the bbPress admin and see it the profile links work then.

Please post more information about your setup. WordPress and bbPress version, if you created an .htaccess file with rewrite rules, post a link to your forums. Thanks

I went with Inove in the end. Turned out pretty good:

I installed bbPress last night and integrated it with an existing wordpress site. However, this morning I was unable to log into my forum with my original keymaster username and password. I can log in with my username and password from my wordpress site, but it doesn’t have admin privileges so I am now unable to access the back end of my forum.

When I try to log in as the keymaster it tells me that the user does not exist. It also won’t let me retrieve my password since the user is not recognized.

I would love some help on this. I am new to wordpress and don’t have any programming experience, so if the answer is technical, please keep in mind that I might need a little extra hand holding. Thanks!

to display login, pass from BBPress in WP.

one solution is to use something like this (directly where you want to see it)

<iframe src=”mylogin.php” style=”width: 600px; height: 60px”

scrolling=”no” marginwidth=”0″ marginheight=”0″ frameborder=”0″ vspace=”0″ hspace=”0″>

</iframe>

login.php :

<?php

require_once(‘/home2/bulbpark/public_html/autograph/test/bbp/bb-load.php’);

if ( !in_array( bb_get_location(), array( ‘login-page’, ‘register-page’ ) ) ) login_form();

?>

Enjoy
