To have access to bbPress functions from WordPress, you need to include bbPress inside WordPress. Then you can put that link wherever you want using bbPress functions. Read here:

http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/

Find bb-load.php in that page.

[chrishajer]

So long as it’s in a separate folder from WordPress, you should be fine. You don’t want them in the same folder.

Try turning off permalinks in the admin. My guess is they’re not supported in your current configuration. If that works, and you can view everything, then you just need to configure permalinks.

but how to display the admin menu (admin link) in the header of my wordpress, when i’m connected to bbpress?

thanks

[qlister]

hi chrishajer, thanks for your reply, the link to my forum is forum.q-list.net

I didn’t put it in a sub-folder of wordpress, because this is a sub-domain, i put it in its own folder called forum

[chrishajer]

I think the WordPress user registration functions are more mature than bbPress. Maybe you could use that somehow?

[chrishajer]

Someone else using that theme had and resolved the same problem:

[chrishajer]

I think this is the fourth time I’ve heard about this now. I have no idea what’s causing it. I think we need a new tag for it.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-log-in-after-installation#post-19550

Do you have access to server logs? Maybe something is being logged there.

With a password failure, you should get the “Wrong Password” screen. But that’s not happening. It’s almost like the password is good but for some reason, it still thinks you didn’t log in.

I tried from the failed password screen, the “you must log in to post” screen and even a different browser. I can’t seem to get it to work. Maybe there will be something logged several times from all my attempts (my IP right now is 75.22.31.202). I even tried a password reset and I couldn’t log in with the new password either.

This is integrated with WordPress? What version for both packages?

And, in your case, since this was sudden, what could possibly have changed that caused this? New software for bbPress or WordPress, or possibly something got updated on the server?

In send message form. I want to display the WordPress Display name not the login user name. How to do this?

What’s version WP-MU compatible with bbpress 0.9?

I used version 1.5.1, but still does not work. View link:

https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/browser/tags

Thanks

[chrishajer]

Can you post a link to your forum?

Also, WordPress 2.6 won’t integrate well with bbPress 0.9.0.2. The logins won’t work on both the blog and the forum at the same time. But that’s not why you have this problem.

What directory structure did you use to install the forum? Is it in a sub-folder of the WordPress folder?

[qlister]

I’m using WordPress 2.6 and I was trying to install bbPress 0.9.0.2 and integrate it and it came up with this error at the end of the installation:

“Duplicate key name ‘user_nicename’

>>> User tables will already exist when performing a database integrated installation.”

My forum got installed, however when I try to click on the topics or the forums or tag, it doesn’t open anything, I can’t get to read any of those. It just stays on the same page.

The only function I am able to use is the add topic, but I can’t get to read anything I click.

What should I do? Any advice is greatly appreciated

I’m working on a site for creatives (photographers, models, make up artists, film makers) to develop their craft and offer advice to those considering entrting an educational route, setting up a business or freelancing.

Its still under heavy development and most of the content is yet to be uploaded, but I’d love to hear any feedback or suggestions to make the site better… Particularly the wordpress & bbpress funtions as I’m hoping the community aspect to be rather strong.

[chrishajer]

As far as I know, there is no plugin like that for bbPress. WordPress allows you to post by email, and even if updates were sent out via an RSS to Email solution, the person receiving that wouldn’t be able to reply and have that posted to the blog.

Sounds like a better application for a mailing list, not a forum.

Or, does Basecamp do all that already?

[eschen]

Something I could not find in this or any other thread concerning integration of 0.9.0.2 with wp 2.5. Problem is that a login to either bbPress or WordPress will log a user OUT of the other, can not be logged into both at same time. Common problem but different question. Several people have suggested adding the following to the bb-config.php:

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

Questions: are these really needed, should the full hash number (wordpressuser_full.hash.number) also be included and if so, where do I find the hash code? Using Firefox, the I see two cookies when logged into either bb or wp:

wordpress_test_cookie

wordpress_cabxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Secret keys are identical for both bb and wp config files. Also I have:

In bb-config file:

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->user_bbdb_name = ‘xxxxxxxxxx’;

$bb->user_bbdb_user = ‘xxxxxxxxxx’;

$bb->user_bbdb_password = ‘xxxxxxx’;

$bb->user_bbdb_host = ‘xxxxxxxxxxx’;

$bb->custom_user_table = ‘wp_users’;

$bb->custom_user_meta_table = ‘wp_usermeta’;

$bb->authcookie = ‘wordpress_cabxxxxxxx’; //identical to what is shown in Firefox cookie

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘.alleventsadviser.com’;

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.alleventsadviser.com’);

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

$bb->sitecookiepath = ‘/’;

In wp-config:

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$wp->cookiedomain = ‘.alleventsadviser.com’;

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.alleventsadviser.com’);

$wp->cookiepath = ‘/’;

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

$wp->sitecookiepath = ‘/’;

define(‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

A registered user is shown in both bb and wp.

Thanks for any help.

Another option which I have had success with is to use bbPress 0.9 with WPMU 2.6.2 but only integrate the users, not the cookies. Users will need to login separately to the forums but their same login/password combination will work on WPMU and bbPress.

Hope that helps.

[iuxc]

I’m attempting to upgrade a website I run for a group to both WordPress and BBPress. I have integrated the two and the user accounts are in sync. Everything is working fine, except…

When a user logs in from the WordPress index page, it doesn’t log them in for BBPress. This is a problem, because I want to have administration links for accounts on the homepage of my website. I want a user to login and be able to click on ‘Settings’ and go to their BBPress settings page. Also, I want them to be able to click on “Messages” and go to their BBPress messages.

So, my question is – when a user logs in to the WordPress homepage, how can I make sure they are logged into the BBPress forums as well, without requiring them to log in a second time when they go to the forums?

Thanks for your help!

[chrishajer]

You are the only one who can resolve this, unless you have local help or remote help you trust to look at the connection details provided by your host, and you config, to find the problem.

If there’s a failure to connect, maybe the host setting is incorrect? What are the settings in your WordPress config? If you’re using the same database, then the settings here will be the same, other than the table prefix, which comes later. That should be unique inside your database.

[Sam Bauers]

I’m not exactly sure what you mean. There comes a point where we can’t reduce query count any further without resorting to complex joins, and to allow ourselves flexibility we need to avoid those. Caching solutions prefer simple queries and 1.0 has much better caching capabilities thanks to the use of the object cache functions in BackPress.

Also take a look at the WordPress memcached plugin, which is a drop-in replacement for the BackPress object cache functions and class, which hooks into a memcache server.

MySQL query caching should alleviate most speed problems though.

[farleys-bow-tie]

I created a database with full privileges and a user on the host and then entered it into the script. I received a message saying there was a failure to connect to the database.

The user name and password fields were populated with the admin login and pass from my WordPress installation. I used that login and name to create a user for the database, and then I re-ran the script with the default entries. Still can’t connect.

Any help would be appreciated.

I think you could do something like this:

There are two different solutions there.

To redirect the member back where they came from after they’re done, you could do this:

Hi,

I’ve successfully integrated WordPress 2.5.1 with bbPress 0.9.2, but I’ve encountered some issues with registering (display_name, multiple sign-ups with same email, etc.).

What I’m trying to do now is redirect all registration to the WordPress register page. My main questions are:

(1) how/where do I change the bbPress code to point to the WordPress register page.

(2) is there a way for the system to know where a user came from (forums or blog) and redirect the user appropriately after sign-up?

Thanks.

Hello,

I’ve recently set up a BBPress forum for non-profit Bike Pittsburgh and their host, Pair Networks, shut down their database because of the load BBPress was putting on the server. Pair has since reinstated the db, but I was wondering if anyone could offer any insight as to how I might trim down the size of the queries that BBPress is putting through. A little background:

1. I used this method to convert a WordPress XDForum into BBPress. I know the author of that post mentions that the method he uses might not be the most efficient, however at this point (after the conversion), I wouldn’t think that BBPress is using any of this info any more, correct?
2. We’re running BBPress v. 0.9.0.2
3. We’re using the following plugins: Akismet, Use Display Name, BBPress Private Messaging, Post Count Plus, Forum Last Poster, and Images Allowed

The information from the host was this:

With that said, we wanted to provide a follow up in terms of the nature of the problem itself. The problem is that the database is running some very inefficient queries, trying to sort through 2.5 million rows and are returning very few to no results. These queries take a long time to run and are called “slow queries”. As you gain in traffic, the more of these slow queries that are run, the higher the load on the server, and therefore the more affect you have on other customers.

I’ve included some examples of these queries below for your review:

# Time: 080930 20:55:01

# User@Host: bikepgh[bikepgh] @ [209.68.4.180]

# Query_time: 54 Lock_time: 0 Rows_sent: 10 Rows_examined: 2469001

SELECT forum_id, topic_id FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_last_post_id IN

(SELECT MAX

(topic_last_post_id) FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status=0 GROUP BY

forum_id);

# Time: 080930 20:56:05

# User@Host: bikepgh[bikepgh] @ [209.68.4.180]

# Query_time: 71 Lock_time: 0 Rows_sent: 10 Rows_examined: 2469001

SELECT forum_id, topic_id FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_last_post_id IN

(SELECT MAX

(topic_last_post_id) FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status=0 GROUP BY

forum_id);

# Time: 080930 20:56:43

# User@Host: bikepgh[bikepgh] @ [209.68.4.180]

# Query_time: 67 Lock_time: 0 Rows_sent: 10 Rows_examined: 2469001

SELECT forum_id, topic_id FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_last_post_id IN

(SELECT MAX

(topic_last_post_id) FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status=0 GROUP BY

forum_id);

# Time: 080930 20:57:38

# User@Host: bikepgh[bikepgh] @ [209.68.4.180]

# Query_time: 52 Lock_time: 0 Rows_sent: 10 Rows_examined: 2469001

SELECT forum_id, topic_id FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_last_post_id IN

(SELECT MAX

(topic_last_post_id) FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status=0 GROUP BY

forum_id);

# Time: 080930 21:20:46

# User@Host: bikepgh[bikepgh] @ [209.68.4.180]

# Query_time: 263 Lock_time: 0 Rows_sent: 10 Rows_examined: 2469001

SELECT forum_id, topic_id FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_last_post_id IN

(SELECT MAX

(topic_last_post_id) FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status=0 GROUP BY

forum_id);

# Time: 080930 21:22:35

# User@Host: bikepgh[bikepgh] @ [209.68.4.180]

# Query_time: 281 Lock_time: 0 Rows_sent: 0 Rows_examined: 1952752

SELECT forum_id, topic_id FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_last_post_id IN

(SELECT MAX

(topic_last_post_id) FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status=0 GROUP BY

forum_id);

As you can see, these queries are taking almost 300 seconds to complete

(query_time). This is an extremely high time, as a query on a shared server

should take under 10 seconds to complete.

I hope this helps provide some needed details for you. If we can be of any

further assistance, please do not hesitate to ask.

Any help as to what I might do in PHPMyAdmin or otherwise to help lower the load on the db would be VERY MUCH appreciated!

I believe this glitch occurs on fresh/re-installs? of the current stable version.

Rather than clear cookies and sign into EVERY site again (I go on like 20-30 sites, what a nightmare).

Use the search function when you’re in the cookie list and type in, “wordpress_bb”

You will see a list of them. Notice below the list there is info for each cookie. See where it says path? The cookie you need to remove will say ‘bb-admin’ somewhere in the path. Remove it. Click the admin link and you should be good to go.

I logged out and logged in and looked at a few pages and can still access admin. Havent closed the browser yet so we’ll see if this holds.

Regarding permalinks, you will find lots of people expressing some problem with permalinks on GoDaddy. Just check the tag for other discussions.

That .htaccess would not work for the forum directory. That just looks like the WordPress rewrite rules changed slightly for your forum directory. You need to follow these directions:
