There’s no easy way to embed bbPress into a WordPress page, I don’t think. There are forum plugins for WordPress that work inside a WordPress page, but I have no experience with them.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=forum
(sorry, that search is pathetic but that’s where I’d start)
I found this method to include forum topics within wordpress:
‘<?php include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/rss.php’); wp_rss(‘http://example.com/bbforum/rss.php’, 5); ?>’
Is that any help? Still not sure how to format it entirely though.
Hi:
I have been use the wordpress for long, and the all in one SEO plugin works good,my questions is :
If there is a good plugin for bbpress SEO ?
Regards.
Hey,
I’ve recently begun to play with bbpress in conjunction with wordpress.
I’ve figured out how to include an RSS feed of a bbpress post & author to display as “author on “title of the post”” by using the following code:
<?php include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/rss.php’); wp_rss(‘http://example.com/bbforum/rss.php’, 5); ?>
Does anyone know how to include an excerpt of the post, time and change the formatting.
Basically I’m aiming for the feed to create something like this….
…Alternativly, is there an easier way to include or embed bbpress or any other forum into wordpress?
Any advice is very much appreciated 
I’m trying to integrate WPMU 2.6.1 and bbPress 1.0 alpha, and I’m having some troubles. Here’s how the installation process went for me:
Database details were fine.
The bbPress salt etc details were left blank as this is usually added later in the WordPress integration area.
In the integration area I inserted the WPMU address into the two URL textfields. For the keys I used the following from the wp-config.php file in my WPMU root:
WordPress "auth" cookie key -> AUTH_KEY
WordPress "auth" cookie salt -> SECRET_SALT
WordPress "secure auth" cookie key -> SECURE_AUTH_KEY
WordPress "secure auth" cookie salt -> SECURE_AUTH_SALT
WordPress "logged in" cookie key -> LOGGED_IN_KEY
WordPress "logged in" cookie salt -> LOGGED_IN_SALT
I then selected ‘Add user database integration settings’ and left WP_ as the prefix.
This went through fine.
In the Site Settings area I added the site name and URL, but something struck me right here – it was asking for ‘key master’ account details, previously this has already been the site admin for the WordPress install.
I added the username of the admin user, ‘admin, and that failed saying the account already existed. I tried the install again, and changed the ‘key master’ to another username, and this time it failed but said ‘The key master could not be created. You may need to replace bbPress with a fresh copy and start again.’
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bbPress issue?
I’m guessing WordPress and WordPress MU integration is planned for the final 1.0 release?
Thanks,
Alex
Yeah for sure. Big pain. I saw that you submitted a ticket, so hopefully they will fix that soon and we can even get rolling with the alpha install. In the meantime I am downgrading to make it work.
What about already registered accounts on bbpress/wordpress? Mine don’t work together and in fact if I log in in my bbpress it breaks my wordpress, I have to clear the cache/cookies to be able to login to the WP again.
It should be noted that using non ascii characters in bbPress is not supported and you could open yourself to a whole range of potential SQL injection threats by doing so.
WordPress has never supported non-ascii characters in usernames and has compensated by allowing display names, bbPress 1.0 now allows display names as well for the same reason.
I had the same issue as the original poster. I tried the .htaccess solution but I couldn’t get it to work. I used the other solution (editing the register.php) and I’ll keep in mind to check it again on updates.
Hello finalwebsite,
I just paid the minimum 2 month plan USD 4.99 x 2 .I think use wordpress and bbpress is ok.
I don’t know – what’s easier for you, downgrading to 2.5.1 or upgrading to an alpha release of bbPress?
Personally, if I needed integration between WordPress and bbPress, I would install the 0.9.0.2 of bbPress and 2.5.1 of WordPress. Alpha software should be used for testing only.
any new solution without using RSS aggregator plugin?
Anyone use Godaddy webhost? I just use the service and moved my old site to .
WordPress http://xxx.com (URL Rewrite is fine)
bbPress http://xxx.com/forum/
but the default (rewrite-rules.php) permalinks is not work. Anyone know how to use bbPress URL Rewrite with GoDaddy?
Hi I do have a version working(I downgraded bbpress to the last version bbsync worked because I was tired of using a alpha version of bbpress) it’s completely new code, but it’s very basic on the feature set and a bit hacked together, as I could never get the bbpress functions to work in a wordpress plugin.
I’m at a public library at the moment so I don’t have the code with me but I can work on the code a little bit when I get home.
Also please note, this was just made for me and I probably have different needs to what you needed, for example I wanted all wordpress posts to make a new topic so there isn’t options on a per post basis to post to a forum. Also comments don’t replicate between bbpress and wordpress(I was just going to disable commenting and make all users use the topic) but depending on how much time I have tonight I might add this functionality as I don’t see the difficulty in it.
Also F.Y.I. if anyone is interested I do it the úber ghetto way and manually manipulate the database and don’t go through any of the wordpress or bbpress functions so use at your own risk, but I haven’t run into any problems on my test site.
The facebook connect system will be launched shortly, could we use this to login to bbpress and thus integrate with an already ‘connected’ wordpress site?
Yeah this is a good question.
What version bbPress and WordPress are you using?
fel64 says bbSync is very, very broken right now.
Hi there!
We just installed bbPress onto our WordPress install. We love it. ONly problem I have right now is with integration. We’re using bbSync to integrate comments and posts.
I’m able to get WP to post to the BBPress install, no problem. Comments come over, etc. When new comments are made on the WP side, they are adding just fine to the BB side.
However, the comments are not showing up on the WP side. All the posts that have been published after bbSync are showing this behavior.
Any thoughts? This might be a bbSync issue, but thought I’d post here, too.
Looks like this guy: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbsync/page/8#post-15078 is having the same issue.
Yeah it’s an extremely annoying issue, especially because everything else seems fine and suddenly you’re just stuck.
It’s good to see though that I’m not the only one with this problem. I have my hopes up that this will be solved with the Beta. The development hub looks very promising.
Ok so to update this, I was able to get everything to work by downgrading to MU 1.5.1 (which is 2.5.1 regular wordpress)….
Now it looks like we have an issue with MU…
Same point here. I asked this 3 months ago (here and here) but I get no response.
No, WordPress 2.6.1 and bbPress 0.92 cannot integrate logins/cookies at all. I guarantee you were missing that something was not working right.
WPMU users are pretty much on their own and have to ask the handful of other WPMU users.
Hello azsportshu,
WordPress 2.6.1 and bbPress 0.92 can integration fine?
It was WordPress Mu 2.6.1 and BBpress Alpha…..
I have done a few re-installs since then and now am able to log in if I take out the reference to wp-config.php or wp-blog-header.php from my bb-config file.
In any event, it is odd because I had the setup of WordPress 2.6.1 and Bbpress 0.92 on my test server and that was working fine. Now integration has all gone to hell and back…
I just wanted to add that I am having the same issue as Nekita….I was able to get everything integrated outside of the fact that BBpress does not recognize any user other than Inactive. That seems to be the only issue at this point, but one that stops the whole integration from working…..
