I upgraded to bbpress 1.0 over the weekend and it seems to have broken logins for my main wordpress site. I can log into bbpress fine, but if I go to /wp-admin/ and try to log in there, I just get booted back to the login screen over and over. I’ve had the integrated user database setup for some time now and have never had a problem. Any idea what might be causing this?

No, I’m calling certain elements used in the WordPress header in the bbPress header too like the header.jpg and some Java for the menu. Only the things that are needed for a coherent design as is.

Heh, you know I had started to comment about the xmlrpc stuff but checked myself. Personally I’ll be using the delete option. Those hackers tend to find the bugs far faster than we do and the #1 security vulnerability on WordPress for years was the xmlrpc.php

Still, it will be interesting to see how people use it in the real world as it’s a powerful feature. I believe bbPress can now claim it’s the first forum to have such functionality.

Just in time for bbPress’s 2nd birthday too…

Does that mean you are including WordPress’ header.php file in bbPress?

[chrishajer]

Very nice, nice integration.

[chrishajer]

How are you loading those items from WordPress? Using WordPress functions or just calling the graphics directly?

[irr1449]

The thing is that I’m the most interested in the forum functionality of bbPress and I don’t really care about the blog features of wordpress.

Would you not recommend using bbPress as the backend user system and forum for my site?

Hi everyone!

I integrated bbPress 0.9.0.1 and the 2.6.2 version of WordPress MU.

I have no problems, I think.

[zigx]

Hi All,

I recently upgraded to 0.9.0.2 and since this upgrade the “remember me” functionality we used to have is now not working at all.

Basically if you close the browser down completely, and reopen it, then access the site you have to login Each time.

Any ideas?? i tried switching to default themes, etc and it made no difference.

Also, i should add that i have no WordPress integration at all, its a pure bbpress site.

Are you loading WordPress inside bbPress?

Hello to everybody.

I’m new to this forum. I’ve lurked several times to find solution for my problem.

Last time was just some minutes ago:

I was writing post in my bbpress forum when suddenly I’ve been kicked of. Have to login? Ok, maybe a timeout, but…I wasn’t sure to have set a timeout period!!!

By the way, when I try to ling once more…nothing happens! Login page, once more, and more, and more. No other user, no way to login to forum once more.

I’ve a WordPress installation in the root of my www server and a bbpress installation in a sub-root directory.

WordPress and BBpress arn’t integrated ’cause I don’t need it and, most of all, I don’t want it.

Some days ago, trying to harden my WordPress installation, I’ve installed some plugin. Once was “Login LockDown”. Now…making my mind go crazy I’ve think about all changes I made since a week.

I’ve logged in WordPress administration, deactivated Login LockDown plugin and I’ve been able again to login in the bbpress.

[chrishajer]

Just posting this here for anyone who might not know about this WordPress plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-live/

After you installed it, do you have the option to activate it in the WordPress plugins screen? Or that is OK, but you can’t configure it?

[chrishajer]

Looks like the WordPress plugin “Themed Login Register” is causing you trouble. That is giving an error that it can’t find a WordPress theme (div_dark_house). Fix that first by disabling the plugin.

[shock425]

Is there a way to roll-back to 2.5 or uninstall bbpress to fix this problem.

[shock425]

I installed bbpress on my site which uses wp 2.6 no one warned me. it installed and everything looks fine on the outside but the admin panel for wordpress is messed up. its saying

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘/home/mobir/public_html/wp-content/themes/div_dark_house/’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/mobir/public_html/wp-content/plugins/themed-logreg/themed-logreg.php on line 732

Hi Chrishajer, thanks so much for your help, i had previously written mod rewrite in my bbpress config file and that had caused the unclickable links.

So i removed that line and turned off permalinks in the admin which helped.

however whichever method i tried at configuring permalinks at the link as provided, caused internal server error, are there any other way i should go about? Or is it due to the incompatibility between wordpress 2.6 and bbpress 0.9.0.2?

[epiphone]

Never mind just upgraded to the Unstable 1.0 Alpha version, much more WordPress 2.6 friendly!

[chrishajer]

Those version are not compatible for logins. Please read this sticky:

Im going to intergrate my WordPress Theme into my bbPress forum, so I need to make sure that functions like Header and Sidebar can be used in bbPress. So I’ve been reading up and found out that you need to place this code in the bb-config.php:

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

However when I place the code. I suddenly can’t log into the bbPress forum anymore. When I click login nothing happens the page will load but not display links like Username –> Admin —> Log out just the normal page as if a guest was browsing the forum.

I am placing the code below the first <php line? Am I doing something wrong?

Additional Info:

WordPress Version: 2.6.2

bbPress Version: 0.9.2

[epiphone]

OKay thanks for your reply.

I shall have a look around.

[chrishajer]

Do users have to log in at the blog and the forum separately, or are the logged into both simultaneously? I didn’t think that 0.9.0.2 and 2.6.2 were cookie compatible, for logins.

To do what you’re describing, you need to design a theme for bbPress that matches your WordPress theme. Short of doing that, you can include WordPress inside bbPress to have access to WordPress functions (like get_sidebar, get_header, get_footer.)

You can also browse the tag integration to see how other people have approached the problem.

Recently I have installed bbPress 0.9.2 and intergrated it with my WordPress blog (Version 2.6.2) the intergration has been a success and all users registered to the blog also have access to the forum without re-creating a user.

Anyway, now im interested in intergrating my bbPress forum within my blogs layout (E.g on a page called forum there would simply be my usual blog layout and then the forum appearing within the content area of my blog but I don’t have any idea how to do this. For a visual reference here is a example of what I want to achieve:

Does anyone know the process of how to this and how it can be done?

Thanks!

I don’t know of anything like that specifically. But there is an LDAP plugin that you could probably look at to get some ideas for how to use an alternate authentication and go from there:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/ldap-authentication/#post-54

[wideit]

Hello,

I have a WordPress installation with BBpress and I would like to use an external WordPress Authentication to use username and password from another Mysql DB.

Do you know any easy way to do it that will be compatible with bbPress???

Thanks!

James
