I seem to be having the admin login problem as well. I checked the salt settings and they match. I think this is a problem with the login integration. When I login to wordpress first I can post comments to bbpress but that is about it. The bbpress logout button is broken and wordpress doesn’t seem to recognize bbpress-originated logins.

It certainly is close though. I’ll dive into the code to see if I can’t figure it out.

No luck Here is my root .htacces:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{http_host} ^travel-writers-exchange.com

RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/Forum/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Root (WP install) works fine, but when I put the .htaccess file in /Forum then I still get the 500 error….

I have to run out but will be back in about 1/2 hour…..

[_ck_]

Ah I forgot it’s wordpress integrated – that’s your whole problem with 500 error. I have to lookup the workaround.

[TrishaM]

Okay lets see if this sheds any light:

here is the htaccess file from my root:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{http_host} ^travel-writers-exchange.com

RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Here is the htaccess I would put in my /Forum directory, if it didn’t trigger the 500 error

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /Forum/

RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /Forum/forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^profile/?$ /Forum/profile.php [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^view/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /Forum/view.php?view=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^view/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/view.php?view=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/?$ /Forum/rss.php [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/topics/?$ /Forum/rss.php?topics=1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/forum/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/rss.php?forum=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/forum/([^/]+)/topics/?$ /Forum/rss.php?forum=$1&topics=1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/topic/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/rss.php?topic=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/tags/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/rss.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/profile/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/rss.php?profile=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/view/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/rss.php?view=$1 [L,QSA]

</IfModule>

I’ve verified that there are no errant spaces or line breaks……it doesn’t look to me like there are syntax errors or conflicts, but I’m no expert……

Hi,

bbpres 0.9.0.2

Im exhausted looking for a solution so i post, after a clean install in hostgator, when I click on Latest Discussions ADD NEW link, while not logged, I get a link similar as:

http://www.domain.com/forum/bb-login.php?re=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.domain.com%2Fforum%2F%3Fnew%3D1

and after clicking on it: I got a WordPress 404 not found page.

I have tried adding and .htaccess in my bbpress directory with Options +MultiViews

I have turned off-on pretty permalinks,

I have installed a wordpress 404 fixer plugin,

But nothing works,

Only if is logged a user the ADD NEW link works.

Please helpme I am on a deadline weekend.

best regards

monica

I have the same exact same problem with wp 2.6.3 and bbpress 1.0-alpha, divided db but integrated login and cookie.

I guess it could be solved by making all login throgh bbpress but it’s annoying.

[gio50000]

I just moved WordPress and bbPress to a new host. Everything is working fine with both apps except I can no longer log into bbPress with my WP account and the posts using the BBpress Latest Discussions plugin are no longer displaying.

The bb-config.php file is configured correctly because the forum posts are displaying. Is there an .htaccess file elsewhere than the root that’s missing? Is it a permission issue?

Any clue what I’m missing?

Thanks,

Gio

I couldn’t find an adequate newsletter system for WordPress, so I wrote my own. It isn’t hard to set something up with swiftmailer and just query your mysql database to get the user info.

[globetrotterdk]

OK, I guess I should modify that last posting. I now have tabs off to the right called “Profile”, “Edit” and “Favorites”. I still don’t see any WordPress integration section of the bbPress admin area, however.

[chrishajer]

globetrotterdk: I don’t know that they normally are in the wp-config.php file. You need to pull the options from the database using this URL:

http://www.example.com/wp-admin/options.php

Search that page for “salt” and you’ll see the settings WordPress is using.

Hi,

I was wondering whether there’s a plug in which creates a new forum topic in bbPress and links to it everytime I post a new WordPress post?

This has three plus points:

-Forums are a more organized/structured system than a blog comments system

-In addition to being a comments system, users can also start their own threads

-Topics per post encourages users to join the forums/register at your site

Here’s an example of how it’s done (WP + PHPBB topics per post plugin)

http://www.alfredodehoces.com/wp2bb/

I hope there’s a WP + BBP version of that plugin.

[Xevo]

I have the exact same problem, luckily the site isn’t online yet, but I really need wordpress 2.6.x and bbpress to work together..

Anyone know when they are planning to bring out a (more) stable version of bbpress 1?

[danbbpress]

I know this issue has been raised several times before (example posts: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/newsletter-by-email#post-3596 , http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-request-weekly-newsletter#post-16847 ).

I too would find it very helpful to have a way of sending out a newsletter to forum members (with the option to opt in at signup). I do not use WordPress on my website so integrating BBPress with WP is not an option. Is a newsletter plugin for BBPress going to be developed?

Thanks.

Dan

If you are using WordPress, you need to read this about WordPress integration, to have access to WordPress functions like get_footer, get_sidebar and get_header.

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#func

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Those plugins come default for 1.0alpha2 under the plugins tab, you have to turn them on. I suspect it’s POSSIBLE if you downloaded the alpha version, they might work in a non-alpha install, but it’s untested.

But really, if you’re just moving your domain, you can pretty much do what you’d do for WordPress or any other PHP/SQL driven site. You have two basic options.

1. Download a copy of the main bbpress files from your OLD server to your hard drive and edit wp-config.php to suit the new server.
2. Go back to your OLD forum and go to options and change the url (both of them) to that of your new site.
3. Download your database (but keep the old one just in case), upload this new database and the copy of the wordpress core files with the edited bb-config.php to your NEW server.

Or…

1. Install a new forum on the new server.
2. Export the forum content from the OLD server into a BBXF file
3. Import the data into the new forum.

Hi guys

How would you guys integrate your designs into a blog?

I mean I tried using pages and set in the html editor ‘include php page’, but didn’t work.

The template I made for my website (wordpress script of course) is very simple, with a header.php, index.php, footer.php

the index.php consists of the container and sidebar.

How would you include this into the container?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Jorja Fox: Online and the Forums are finally done.

I’ve had the blog up for a couple years (it got taken down and revamped when it crashed my server with bad code and bad bandwidth usage). No ‘hacks’ involved, though I did tweak some plugins.

Using:

• Akismet
• Allow Images (commented out two lines to allow for images without blowing up code)
• Bad Behavior (the generic file provided by the creator, with a plugin header added to allow it to be pluggable)
• bbPress Smilies
• Comment Quicktags for bbPress (added in my spoiler tags)
• Mass Edit – Moderate Posts
• Spoiler Tags
• Unread Posts

The design is based on the Dignity Theme, and then hacked to kingdom come to make it, among other things, variable width.

Hi, there.

I have been able to get numeric pretty permalinks to work on my bbpress site (http://agitainment.com/ics/forum/) but not the name-based permalinks, which is what I’d like to have.

I’m using 1and1 hosting, and I followed the setup at http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks. I added Options -MultiViews to the top of the code generated by /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php in my .htaccess file (as detailed at http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/dropping-multiviews-support#post-16050). In addition I have set $bb->mod_rewrite = true in my bb-config.php. My forums are in the same database as WordPress.

Any idea on how to get the name based permalinks working?

Cheers.

You can make my bb-benchmark work on WordPress with a few changes.

Most notably you’d have to add the line:

add_action('wp_footer', 'bb_benchmark_output',999);

if (bb_current_user_can( 'administrate' ) ) you just have to take off the bb_ part and make it current_user_can

Oh and all $bbdb has to be changed to $wpdb

It won’t be able to calculate the timing between sections until all the hook names are added which unfortunately I don’t have the time right now to lookup. But it will still show you overall times and mysql queries.

[peterve]

by the way (and perhaps off-topic) : is there a benchmark plugin for wordpress ? can’t seem to find one in the plugins directory for wp

tx

[_ck_]

By the way, even when we fix the plugin problem, your setup could benefit greatly from a PHP opcode cache (eaccelerator, xcache, APC, etc.) We just have to find one that’s compatible with Windows and IIS which will take some research. It should cut your page times in half, on both bbPress and WordPress.

Here’s one possibility:

http://www.sitebuddy.com/PHP/Accelerators/eAccelerator

That site has pre-built windows binaries for eAccelerator as well as good install directions.

Hello,

I have been running wordpress 2.6.x and bbpress 0.9.0.2 on the same server

While wordpress (with many plugins) runs pretty fast, my bbpress forum appears to be very slow

Even without plugins, I had the impression bbpress runs much slower than wordpress (with plugins)

How can I troubleshoot this ?

thanks

[chrishajer]

Please post a screenshot of your admin screen after you log in and click Admin. There are normally more options than what you’re describing. I think they are “Users”, “Manage” and “Design” on the left, then a couple more on the right (settings and plugins.)

For how to place a link to the forum in your WordPress site, that’s highly dependent on your theme. But a basic html link will normally work, depending on where you’re putting it.

<a href="http://www.example.com/forums/">Forums</a>

If you’re putting it near wp_list_pages, in an unordered list, then it needs to be wrapped in li tags.

<li><a href="http://www.example.com/forums/">Forums</a></li>

[globetrotterdk]

I have an “admin!” link, an “Admin” link and then a “Log Out” link. When I finished installing bbPress, I got the following message:

“Once you have finished installing, you should visit the WordPress integration section of the bbPress admin area for further options and integration instructions, including user mapping and the correct cookie settings to add to your WordPress configuration file.”

The only thing that I can see that I can do in the Admin area is to add a new topic. I don’t see anything like what was described in the message.

Lastly, how do I place a http://www.site_name.whatever/forums/ link to the forum next to the pages links in the header and footer of my WordPress site? I tried placing it next to <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&depth=1’); ?> but then everything went blank on the site.

Cheers

[globetrotterdk]

Help, please. A very basic question, maybe a sticky would be a good idea? I have successfully installed and integrated the latest alpha version (as of today) with WordPress 2.6.3, (congratulations to the team) but I can’t figure out how to get into the administration area.
