This is a good manual way of upgrading below.

– Create a new database, call it wordpress2 or 3 or whatever. Make sure it is different from the database in use.

– Choose Option A or B Below:

Option A

– Backup (because you’ll be overwriting the old files) your http folder the server points to.

– If your httpdocs folder is called: [httpdocs] then: mv [httpdocs] [httpdocs_backup]

Option B

– Create a new directory, with correct permissions.

– Tell your webserver to serve from this new location

– Install wordpress and bbpress and assign it to use the new wordpress database.

– Get all functionality working, like integration plug-ins etc…

– Once it all works, backup the httpdocs folder. [tar -cvjf httpdocs.bz2 httpdocs] This is a good step as you can now take these working configs and stick it into a new upgraded wordpress.

– Go back and restore the old wordpress because now you will upgrade.

– Install wordpress first. Install using the Old database name, when it asks you to upgrade the database, do so.

– Install bbpress, do the same as above.

– take your Config file from the test run above, and copy them into your upgrade.

Personally, I do a complete backup on a schedule and just manually run the script again for when I do an upgrade. This script will backup all my http/https folders, my server configs, and my database all in one shot. If anything gets messed up I just do a restore and It’s like starting from scratch. No matter how messed up things get. You might want to think about that. If there is enough demand I will gladly publish these helpful scripts.

In theory yes.

If wordpress sets the cookies, the part where bbpress reads them is not stored in those two files.

I actually said December, not November, at the soonest for my plugins to start supporting 1.0 officially.

I think 0.9 should have security releases indefinitely, at least for another year.

December 2010 would be a good retire date IMHO.

But I certainly don’t expect 0.9 to be given new features at this point.

Some people simply won’t be able to use 1.0 on shared hosts with several plugins. Their host will terminate their account for excessive resource use if there are bursts of activity at certain times of the day. So 0.9 will be their only option (or switching to lighter software).

ps. the 2.0 branch of WordPress was it’s best version

[Ryan Hellyer]

The shorter the better IMO. How about six months?

That should be enough time for people to sort out their plugins. _CK_ posted somewhere that their plugins will be updated in November (I think) and since a huge proportion of the most popular plugins are by them I’d be inclined to base the date on that.

You don’t want to end up in a similar rut to how WordPress ended up supporting the 2.0 branch for a stupidly long period of time despite nearly no one actually using it.

For those not using the XML-RPC functionality (95% of you) I strongly recommend you delete xmlrpc.php immediately after install. Several of WordPress’s security issues over the years have been through that API.

Doing that will also disable the ability to receive ping-backs.

i’ve installed a fresh version of bbpress 1.0 on wordpress wp 2.8 and seems work good, but it’s the first time i use bbpress, i’ve integrated users and cookie

[Marcomail]

i’d use only registration and login page of wordpress, so i can delete this two bbpress pages ?

[Marcomail]

this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/md5-password-hashes/

now it works good, but if i login on bbpress the user password it’s converted in phpass format, if i login on wordpress the password it’s converted on md5 format.

i’d delete the login on bbpress, so i think it’s not necessary install the bbpress plugin

Gravatars should be done 100% via a plugin and not integrated into WordPress/bbPress in the first place. I never did understand why they were hardcoded in, except perhaps a push by Matt after they bought the service.

It should be done exactly like akismet and bozos.

[johnhiler]

What plugin are you using on the WordPress side to convert your WordPress passwords?

[Marcomail]

Thanks, i’m using wordpress 2.8 and bbpress 1.0

[johnhiler]

This plugin allows you to use MD5 hashing in bbPress (not sure if it works in v 1.0 though):

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/md5-insecurity-for-bbpress/

What versions of WordPress and bbPress are you using?

[Marcomail]

I’m using a plugin to convert user password on wordpress to MD5, is it a problem if i integrate bbpress on wordpress ?

[Marcomail]

i’ve wordpress 2.8 and bbpress 1.0, i must create a new database for bbpress or i must use the wordpress database ? Thanks

This plug-in works great, I just wish users could register via OpenID. I think your plug-in does allow this now, however, I use wordpress for registrations because I’m able to make a custom registration e-mail and it’s simpler and more sleek than the bbpress registration.

If only there was a way to make a wordpress OpenID plugin that would play nice with your bbpress OpenID plugin. So, users could register with OpenID using the wordpress registration page, then login with either the wordpress login page or the bbpress login page using OpenID.

Because of my set up I always have weird requests since again, I use wordpress for registrations and bbpress for log ins. 8 |

I’m hoping someone creates a plug in for google friend connect… I’ve been trying to find a way to let anyone sign into my site. I know there is OpenID, and bbpress has an OpenID plugin thanks to _ck_, but I can’t get it to work like I want. The main issue is, I use wordpress for my registrations, and then bbpress as my login… I chose wordpress as the registration part because it’s very simple… they just have to enter their name and e-mail. And, I forget why I chose to use bbpress as the login part… haha . Anyway, again, I’m hoping to one day find a way to let anyone login using other popular services like google and facebook and twitter.

If anyone has any ideas let me know…

I’m wondering if it is possible to allow people to login to my site using google for example, without having to mess with my user database. In other words, I know there are plugins that will allow people to register with their google account, and then behind the scenes the plugin creates a wordpress or bbpress account… I’m wondering if it is even possible to have a separate system so if someone wants to sign up for my site they can, but if they just want to log in via google, for example, they can do so without the plugin creating a new user in my database…

@Sam

Would be great if you could get a blog post crosslinked over at http://WordPress.org/development

I only say that because of the huge WP following.

Howdy folks…have a suggestion to improve bbPress for everyone (I love the service, don’t want this to be taken as harsh criticism toward the terrific developers, etc)

I just started 2 sites running bbPress (http://NewsTalkPA.com and http://SportsTalkPA.com) and the # 1 question/complaint I get from people is “how do I get to select my profile picture”.

(Before we go any farther, yes, I have a sticky on both sites re: how to get a Gravatar pic)

I love bbPress, but with Automattic behind both Gravatar AND bbPress (AND Gravatar support being built right in) it is in everyone’s best interests if there were better directions internally for new folks that signup on bbPress sites re: how to select a Gravatar.

Hey, with WordPress, blogs, etc not everyone will comment and when they eventually do they might want to stay anonymous…BUT With bbPress its a little different. The whole point of signing up is to start chiming away and making yourself known by fleshing out your profile. People are pretty unhappy when they find out its difficult to select a picture.

Think about it: It’s pretty inconvenient for folks to signup on a site, get the email with their password, login, and then, BLAM, find out there is no direction as to how to get a Gravatar on their profile page (they are not going to see a Gravatar directions sticky unless they really look…trust me, they are looking under the profile information for picture stuff)

How about a little revamping on the profile editing pages with a link to the Gravatar website and a little direction that this is how they can select their profile picture. Any thoughts?

If bbPress included something like this the number of new Gravatar signups would skyrocket and the service would become even more widespread (There is NO downside to this)

[grassrootspa]

Dang, it must be the theme. (can delete tags via the default Kakumei 1.0).

I guess this means this theme uses AJAX for tag deletion (I am a BBPress newbie, don’t know where to look to know for sure).

Any suggestions for a work around without having to switch themes? Here it is:

Theme Name: blank 2 column Right Sidebar

Theme URI: http://refueled.net/blank-themes/

Description: A blank bbPress theme. Matching WordPress themes available.

Version: 1.0

Author: refueled

Author URI: http://refueled.net

What version of the software are you talking about Marcomail?

What is your question exactly? Do you have existing WordPress users and you’re wondering if they will be integrated with bbPress after integration?

[Sam Bauers]

Those values are of course for the bb-config.php file.
