bbPress has the same requirements as wordpress, so yes 4.0 is the minimum

https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

[bruinfelix]

Maybe when they realse the 2.8 version of WordPress ?

The instructions are right under the wordpress integration menu in bbpress

[adv_user]

“if WP and BBPress are sharing the same database”

And if WordPress is diferent database of the BBPress?

[_ck_]

There are settings that stay in the database.

For example the “WordPress database secret” is stored in your database settings and would be changed when you restored the db. That will completely affect cookies.

So double check that it’s still same in WP and bbPress after you restore.

It’s possible that the .htaccess one level up (WordPress directory) is conflicting with this .htaccess. You can just turn off permalinks for now until you figure it out. If you’re intent on figuring it out to get permalinks working, you might want to spend some time browsing threads that are tagged identical to this one.

[richbrown]

I did that and it takes me back to the forum page.

[chrishajer]

You need to add a .htaccess file for bbPress. You generate the rules by going to your site, here (once logged in as keymaster):

http://www.example.com/forum-directory/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php

Then, paste those rules into a .htaccess file in your forum root.

[chrishajer]

Those two versions do not integrate well without some extra work.

If you are on a host with a menu based system like Cpanel or Plesk they usually have an option to password protect a directory. You can use that to protect your bbpress forum install (and wordpress) and that way it will be impossible to access for anyone except you.

There is a bbpress plugin that forces login to be required to see the forum so you could install that and even if anyone found it, they would only see a login.

ArrowJ, where did you add the .htacess file?

I have one for WP.

Is this a new one?

[arrowj]

added .htaccess…problem solved

[richbrown]

2,71 and the latest stabel version of bbPress.

[arrowj]

When I turn off pretty permalinks everything works great, but when I turn it on it tries to load the page as if it were part of my Wordpres blog and of course that post does not exist. I use advanced permalink structures in my WordPress blog so I’m not sure why this is happening. Any suggestions? I do not have my blog integrated with my forum (other than sharing the same db).

[pierrottorreip]

WordPress 2.7.1

What did I do to make sure the cookies worked? Hmmm. Well, I went through the entire integration process in the bbPress admin panel. I never took it further than just setting it up because my site is brand new and realizing that I didn’t know how to integrate 3 bbPress databases into one WP install I talked myself out of the idea. So, nothing that I can think of.

Here is the link to my site. Like I said it’s kind f a live trial run so nothing much is happening. Also, all of the plugins that I’m using are also used with my other forums that work.

Is there a way to re-set the cookies integration?

[ROGUEWAVE]

Thanks. I installed WordPress 2.7.0 on the host, but it is not public. I want to add the bbpress there & develop on the hosted site, but still not public. Do I just follow the same install procedures as published here?

[chrishajer]

What version WordPress did you integrate with, and what did you do to make sure the cookies work?

[_ck_]

If you login on the wordpress side does bbPress see the user logged in?

If not, the cookie hash has probably changed and might need to be forced on both sides.

This is simple integration right, not full/deep integration?

[grasn]

@chrishajer, thanks for the code, this one didn’t work for me, but the one on the page top. You can visit my forum http://deadrising2.de/?page_id=84

If someone wants to know how i made it, I just removed stuff from the bbpress head.php so it looks like this:

<body>

<div id=”main”>

<?php if ( is_bb_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?>

and also the first </div> from the footer.php, I also removed the hot tags stuff from frontpage.php. Now I installed embed-iframe plugin for wordpress and modified the iframe.php like this:

<div class="iframe-wrapper">

<iframe src="<?php echo $url ?>" frameborder="0" id="youridnamehere" width=100%>Please upgrade your browser</iframe>

</div>

<script type="text/javascript">

function resizeIframe() {

var height = document.documentElement.clientHeight;

height -= document.getElementById('youridnamehere').offsetTop;



<code></code>// not sure how to get this dynamically

height -= 150; /* whatever you set your body bottom margin/padding to be */



document.getElementById('youridnamehere').style.height = height +"px";



};

document.getElementById('youridnamehere').onload = resizeIframe;

window.onresize = resizeIframe;

</script>

Now I just modified the width of the bbpress style.css for head, main and footer, and also the cols/width of the textarea. I still have a scrollbar if there are more posts on one page, but I can live with.

Thanks for your help!`

[pierrottorreip]

Thanks for the reply!

Alpha 6

Here are some variables that might help…

– I updated recently from 0.9.0.4 (although I also updated my other site and it’s fine)

– I integrated cookies with WordPress

– not limited to Keymaster accounts

– works fine with Safari but not with the latest Firefox

I hadn’t integrated the database yet as I am running three installations on one site and was looking for the best way to do so (I’ve since decided that I’m going to keep them seperate).

My site is new so I’m not too bothered by the thought of starting the database over unless there is a quick fix for this…

Well it’s been six month now so we’re long overdue

for another (completely unofficial) TOP 100 report!

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top100

Top 1000 requires free registration/login:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top1000

New this year is the ability to vote on sites, based on quality/content, so even if a site is not in the regular Top 100 list, be sure to “vote it up” and I will post another list soon with the highest votes. There are some really nice looking forums running bbPress out there that deserve some votes. You must be a member to vote but registration is free of course. The Top 1000 list can also be searched when you are logged in, as well as an experimental Tag Cloud

When we last left the list, it had just topped over 4000 websites.

In the newest list, despite roughly 1000 sites disappearing (small test installs, etc.) the list is now over 6000 strong! This means an average of 15 sites per day are installing and sticking with bbPress. About 10% of these forums are running the new 1.0 alpha (and half of those have not upgraded to the newest 1.0a6, so they need to keep up with the releases).

At this rate, next time I am going to have to make it the Top 10,000 list.

However I am sad to report a dark side has emerged in bbPress’s growth. Because of how much easier bbPress is to control and manipulate with just a basic knowledge of PHP/MySQL compared to other forum software, some “black hats” have latched onto bbPress in order to create a big content spamming network, nearly 200 sites strong. They aim these sites at search engines with topics such as gambling, lottery and foreign currency exchanges. You can see them at the very end of the Top 1000 list, where they sit demoted. This really doesn’t affect the average forum operator in any way, it’s just unfortunate to see. WordPress went through this kind of event too, I just hate to see it happen.

ps. This list also marks the first inclusion of a TalkPress powered site and while it only has a couple dozen posts because it’s brand new, it has the easy access of 7.5million WordPress.com members so it’s bound to grow quickly!

[chrishajer]

Need way more information here please. Where do you see this error, what is the error, what URL is being reported as 404? What versions of bbPress and WordPress (if you integrated)? Can you post a URL to your forum? Does everything but this work?

[chrishajer]

@tannar, I will only share this with you if you post a link to your forum. I would like to see this working because many people have asked about it, and I’ve never seen it working.

From here: http://brondsema.net/blog/index.php/2007/06/06/100_height_iframe#c4631

Add this to the bottom of the page you are including in the iframe.

<script type="text/javascript">

parent.window.document.getElementById("youridnamehere").height = document.body.offsetHeight +50;

</script>

You need to change youridnamehere to the id of the iframe in your wordpress page. So, if you did something like <iframe src="whatever.php" id="bbpressforum" ... /> you would change youridnamehere to bbpressforum because that’s the id of the iframe.

Also, the +50 at the end just adds some space to the bottom (it’s probably in pixels I imagine.) You can try different numbers to be sure the forum fits in the frame. I can’t recall exactly what number I started out with there, but +50 worked for my application (not bbPress, BTW.)

Good luck.

Ok i’m using the embed-iframe plugin to integrate the forum, it looks good. I reduced the width of the forum theme in the css file so it fits the page. The only problem i have, in emped-iframe you can assign a width and height for the iframe. 100% doenst work for height, cause if the forumpage has many threads the iframe becomes a scrollbar on the right side. Any solutions to fix this, and let the iframe automaticly get the height of the forumpage height?

[stockefeller]

My version of BuddyPress has bbPress installed successfully…. with only one glitch. Whenever I login through the WordPress login I get the following error message. If I then hit the back button and visit the site I never see the error again.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks

Byron
