Except it’s not what ‘everyone’ wants 
People who want an integrated forum/blog may want that, but then it’s a whole new measure of pain when one half upgrades. And they’re getting there (with things like BuddyPress), but bbPress is a forum. That’s it. It happens to integrate with WP, but that’s not all it is.
Integration into a existing wordpress theme, is just what evryone wants .. So, why the developers dont listen to the people who uses this software, beats me! 
Its just on of the main raisons i dont install bbPress anymore, no at all integration with the theme stuff
That would be because it’s a duplication of the theme, and not ‘deep’ integration.
Hey,
i just found this great forum and integrated it in my wordpress, with help from the video guide.
I have succesfully set up all cookie stuff, and now i want to display my forum wich is located on mywebsite.com/forum/ in my wordpress blog page. Like on this website.
Can anyone tell me how to do it? I didn’t find informations about.
greetings
Still does the same thing. I can log into both but they log each other out. Here’s my quick settings. Do they look right?
// WordPress cookie integration speedup
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://www.mysite.com';
$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.mysite.com';
$bb->cookiedomain = '.mysite.com';
$bb->cookiepath = '/';
$bb->authcookie = 'wordpress_3f597388c6109a55a322633x12345678';
$bb->secure_auth_cookie = 'wordpress_sec_3f597388c6109a55a322633x12345678';
$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_3f597388c6109a55a322633x12345678';
$bb->admin_cookie_path = '/forums/bb-admin';
$bb->core_plugins_cookie_path = '/forums/bb-plugins';
$bb->user_plugins_cookie_path = '/forums/my-plugins';
$bb->sitecookiepath = '/';
$bb->wp_admin_cookie_path = '/wp-admin';
$bb->wp_plugins_cookie_path = '/wp-content/plugins';
That one line of code worked for me. I’ve been at this since Jan. Luv ya, man!
Yep.. is everything same? or do we have anything else to consider?
Alright, so good news, it’s all working. I actually ended up including bb-load into my sites login script, then calling the login function when a successful login happened on my site, this then set cookies for my site and bbPress. I also have it so that when a successful registration takes place on my site it also inserts the user into the bbPress users database with the proper information. I snagged the MD5 password plugin for bbPress, modified it to change passwords to sha1 (which is also what my site uses).
Then I snagged the freshly baked cookies plugin for bbpress so that it also sets WordPress cookies. I got the external DB auth plugin for WordPress so that it uses the bbPress users table for authentication. I’ve killed registrations through WordPress and bbPress…so you can only register through my site. So now it works that a user registers and logs in through my site, and when they have a successful login they can use my site and WordPress and bbPress.
Thanks for the help!
Also note that you edit the es_ES.po file which then makes the new es_ES.mo file when you save the changed in poedit.
Their es_ES.po is here: http://ayudawordpress.com/descargas/bbpress/bbpress-es_ES.po.zip
The program you need is poedit. http://www.poedit.net/
WordPress has pretty good instructions for doing it, and the process is similar with bbPress:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress
@matiaspunx: what version did you integrate? The cookies are not compatible with the 0.9.0.4 version of bbPress and WordPress versions greater than 2.5 (like the latest 2.7.1 version.)
Also, did you try clearing all the cookies or using a different browser to log in?
These two solutions exist for making logins compatible with WordPress latest and bbPress 0.9.0.4:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/share-solution-for-bbpress-10-alpha-6-wordpress-mu-27-cookie-integration
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-27-cookie-integration
It seems I have a similar issue as hijen. Was there a resolution to this stream?
In my instance, I cannot login as my administrator (or any other user) via BBpress, but I can via WordPress. The users are still in the DB, and the password reset option also displays that ‘user does not exist. Register it” drivel.
That sounds like something printed by the refresh theme. I can’t seem to find a copy of that theme online anywhere. Can you look through the theme files for that language?
Also, what version of bbPress did you install with WordPress 2.7.1?
Poedit will automatically re-save the .mo file when you edit and save the .po file by default unless you’ve changed the default settings.
the mo file is in here, it’s all you need
http://ayudawordpress.com/?dl_id=96
in bbPress 0.9 put it into bb-includes/languages/
in bbPress 1.0 put it into my-languages/
and change in your bb-config.php
define('BB_LANG','es_ES');
Bad news… the problem persist…
its the same…
In Ayudawordpress i have found just the .po file… but not the .mo…
so maybe i really have to edit the .mo file… how can i do that? with what program could i edit it ? because notepad or dreamweaver is not reading it good!
Tx.
Good news! I am integrated 100% for the first time in over a year!! Woo!
The only thing I need to do later is I am going to redirect any logging in or logging out through bbpress. Because I can’t log out from wordpress now, but if I log out through bbpress, then it logs me out of bbpress and wordpress correctly. So this is really not a big deal, I will just change any log in/log out links in wordpress to the bbpress log in/log out links.
The way I was able to get my reverse integration to work was by following the normal reverse integration instructions, then I chose to install Ann’s plugin which downgrades the 2.7 wordpress cookie set up to the 2.5 cookie set up.
People!!! Thanks for the replys!
@chrishajer: I have installed the latest stable version of bbPress: The “Brubeck” version 0.9.0.4
@_ck_: I have rebuilded the .po file… (¿do i have to rebuild the .mo file too?…)
I will try with the ayudawordpress.com´s translation… let me test it and i will talk again.
Thanks!
I set up bbpress for http://austin350.org – it’s at http://austin350.org/forums. I integrated with WordPress. In bbpress, the registration page says “Registration is closed for a while… sorry!” I can’t find any source for this message, or any helpful reference to it online. I have no idea how to “open” registration again. I’m assuming that this means, with WordPress integration, that registration must happen on the WordPress side, but I’m seeing references that suggest it can happen on both sides and they can be integrated. Also in that context the “registration is closed” message wouldn’t make sense – wouldn’t you just refer them to WP registration?
I am using the same database and user table. I was using wordpress 2.6 so that explains why it didn’t work. But, since then I have switched to wordpress 2.7. Are the cookies from wordpress 2.7 compatible with bbpress 0.9? I’ll look over the Intergration 101 again to see if I’m missing something.
I don’t know if this will help but, if I log into my forum, and then go to my blog’s login page it will say in red “Please login again.” So, wordpress knows that I was logged in, but there must still be something wrong with my cookies that it is not keeping me logged in.
Definitely make sure you are using the newest Human Test.
If you are, and they are bypassing it, I need to know so I can break out the next level of protection.
I have not tried this plugin but it might help somewhat:
New Stop Forum Spam API Plugin; Block Fake User Registrations
Last but not least, if you have wordpress integrated they might be sneaking though there even if you have the links to it’s registration page disabled, it still leaves the api open (you’d have to physically rename/remove wp-login.php)
>Sounds like you’re integrate incompatible versions. What versions of bbPress and WordPress are you trying to install?
WP is 2.7.1 and bbPress is 0.9.0.4. Both are the latest versions.
Regarding blog address and WordPress address, you can get those in your WordPress admin. They’re generally the same, but not always. It pays to check. It’s located here, but on your domain:
http://www.example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php
Sounds like you’re integrate incompatible versions. What versions of bbPress and WordPress are you trying to install?
One more question.
I am supposed to find “SECRET_KEY” in the WordPress wp-config.php file, but it is not there. The only mention of “SECRET_KEY” I found in the following string: “https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/ WordPress.org secret-key” which did not get me anywhere.
Thanks in advance for the help,
gm
