That is a very clear error message: the system cannot find the file you are trying to include in bbPress. You started the file path with /blog. which is an absolute path, starting at the root /. You will probably have more luck with this:

require_once( '/home1/endingho/public_html/blog/wp-blog-header.php' );

The $bb->WP_BB = true; part I am unfamiliar with. But the error is indicating that you have the path wrong.

@tannar: you can make iframes appear without borders, if you like. You need this in the iframe tag: frameborder="0"

I have heard of a couple people trying it, but I have not yet seen it done. Can you post a link to this when you have it working? Thanks.

@RichBrown: If you want bbPress to *look* like your WordPress installation, you are going to need to use a bbPress theme that matches or approximates you WordPress theme. There are a couple of matching themes out there for bbPress and WordPress. What versions of bbPress and WordPress did you install?

The best way I know of right now to integrate the look of bbPress with the look WordPress is to create a theme for bbPress that looks like your WordPress theme. We’re spoiled with so many good themes for WordPress right now, and not so many for bbPress. We’re not used to creating themes; we’re used to installing themes (at least that has been my experience with WordPress.) bbPress is not quite there yet in terms of popularity and community support (i.e. themes and plugins.)

I don’t believe you can make bbPress live inside a WordPress page: bbPress is not a forum plugin for WordPress. And I have not yet seen the iframe hack work.

I’m a nebie trying to achieve seamless integration.

I pasted this to the top of the bb-config.

$bb->WP_BB = true;

require_once( ‘/blog/wp-blog-header.php’ );

This is the error message I get.

Warning: require_once(/blog/wp-blog-header.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home1/endingho/public_html/blog/forum/bb-config.php on line 3

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/blog/wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home1/endingho/public_html/blog/forum/bb-config.php on line 3

I am using a Thesis theme.

Is there hope for me?

[richbrown]

I completed the integrtion.

I cannot be logged into both at the same tiem.

For example, if i am not logged into WP I can get into the admin section of bbPress.

If I then log into WP and exit the admin page I am unable to get back to it.

Is this normal?

If not how do I fix it?

[richbrown]

As a newbie I am looking to have my bbpress appear seamlessly in WordPress.

How can this be done?

[grasn]

Ok guys, thanks for your posts, but i didn’t understand: is it possible to integrate bbpress into my wordpress blog like on this site and on http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ ? I see its possible, does no one have an idea how to do it?

I don’t care about themes, i just want to integrate my /forum/ directory in a wordpress page. i tried using iframe but its not that great cause it has borders.

[Filipe Deschamps]

Hey guys, I really recomend you to stop trying to make 2.7 work with BB alpha.

Use the undergrade cookie plugin to wordpress and everything is resolved. It’s so simple that you don’t need to do nothing.

Besides that, you will be able to use CK plugins without any problems and be able to make a much safer upgrade when 1.0 is released.

Sorry for english

A music & gaming blog using wordpress + bbpress. The forum layout isn’t quite done yet, I’m trying to make it look more appealing, especially for those used to other forum software.

[chrishajer]

RichBrown, please start a new thread explaining your problem thoroughly. Please list the versions of bbPress and WordPress that you integrated.

Thank you.

[richbrown]

I am also having the same problem and the meta value is a:1:{s:9:”keymaster”;b:1;}.

What can i do to get this to work?

[chrishajer]

Are you using the default theme? If not, try the default theme and see if you have the same error. Someone else posted this recently and I can’t recall what it turned out to be. Here are a couple relevant posts:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/can-not-post-new-topic-in-this-forum#post-25509

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-error-closed-topic#post-22226

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problems-with-forum-is-category-in-10-alpha-6#post-25526

Also, why are you using alpha 4? I thought the basic integration screencast used alpha 6 and WordPress 2.7. There may be some bugs that were fixed between alpha 4 and alpha 6.

[chrishajer]

Cookie issues? Have you tried clearing all the cookies?

Also, there are probably places in the database that have references to file system paths and things like that (I know WordPress does this, for uploads for example.) Maybe there is something in the bbPress tables like that that is preventing it from working correctly?

What I usually do is search the tables for a string that was unique to my old host (a customer number or something else in the path that is unique) then once I find those records, I do a global search and replace on the whole string.

Maybe it’s something like that. I don’t think the database dump will just work straight-away on a new host without modification.

Both bbPress & WordPress can work alone

[richbrown]

I struggled through the integration process. I believe it is working more or less.

The site is: http://www.njaneh.org

The forum is at http://www.njaneh.org/blog/forum

However, I have a problem. When I add in this line as suggested in http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/

if ( !defined(‘BBDB_NAME’) )

require_once(ABSPATH.’bbpress/bb-load.php’);

I get these this error message in both WordPress and bbPress.

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home1/endingho/public_html/blog/bbpress/bb-load.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home1/endingho/public_html/blog/wp-config.php on line 34

When I deleted the lines I added to the config file I can access both but am unable to log into bbPress.

How do I solve the log-in question?

My goal was to have a quality forum that would look and feel like my main wordpress site.

Is that possible or should I dump bbpress and seek another option?

Hi to all; a friend of mine is having troubles with his BBPress installation, so He asked me for help.

He has got a WordPress blog with BBPress integrated.

He changed hosting. He says he simpled moved the files and the database dumps.

Now, WordPress works fine, while BBPress doesn’t logs in anyone and doesn’t let to register new users.

I tried to install a fresh installation of BBPress, and it works fine; but after that, if I try to overwrite the fresh database with the old datas, it doesn’t work again.

How can I save old topics, post etc?

Thanks to all! ^^

PS: I’m not an english guy, so excuse me for any mistake!

Hey eagano… is your plugin available in a regular WordPress 2.7.1 version?

[bikemccall]

Hi refueled,

This is an old post, but here goes. I just launched a website that uses the bbPress Misty Morning theme and have found that gravatars aren’t working. However, they are working on the WordPress side of the site. Trent wondered if it might be theme specific, so I figured I’d ask to see if you’ve seen gravatars working in the theme. Note, I’m not wanting to change the theme at this point since the site is live (and married with the MistyMountain WP theme). The site is http://www.bikemccall.com and my original thread is here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/avatarsgravatars-amp-version-10-alpha-6#post-25552

Thanks for your time.

You rock netcompetency!!!!

Thank you, i was struggling for days with this.

[adv_user]

I am with a problem in to friendly URL.

Different from the wordpress that is possible to configure the base of the URL, I didn’t find that option in the bbPress.

My problem: I installed the forum in the directory /forum

When the user clicks in a category, the address is: myblog.com/forum/forum

and I wanted to alter for myblog.com/forum/category

Is it possible, without harming the system for future updates?

My version is 0.9.0.4

Thanks.

There are some auto-taggers for WordPress:

* https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-auto-tagger/ – This one suggests posts on a per post basis

* https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-calais-archive-tagger/ – This auto-tags your entire post archive

Both plugins could probably be ported to bbPress fairly easily…

[_ck_]

If it’s happening here, I bet it’s happening on wordpress.org too so hopefully they will get to the bottom of it. I suspect spammers must have clogged up their algorithms with lots of garbage on purpose, causing lots of false positives.

Hi I am using wp 2.7.0 trunk (2.7.1) bbpress Version 1.0-alpha-6 Buddypress Core: 1.0-RC1 And I have the same problem. To try and resolve the issues I will show you the cookies for buddypress/wp and bbpress but instead of sharing the cookie I will call it “cookiestring”:

At bp/wp I have:

2x worpdress_logged_in_cookiestring at /

wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/bb-plugins

wordpress_cookie string at /forums/my-plugins

wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/bb-admin

wordpress_cookiestring at /wp-admin

wordpress_cookiestring at /wp-content/plugins

wordpress_test_cookie at /

PHPSESSID at /

_utma at /

_utmb at /

_utmc at /

_utmz at /

at bbpress the I have the following cookies

wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/bb-plugins

wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/my-plugins

wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/bb-admin

wordpress_cookiestring at /wp-admin

wordpress_cookie string at /wp-content/plugins

As you can see I have the same cookie string but I have a few extra cookies at buddypress.

Thanks for sharing your experience with me.

Johan
