update

I have reinstalled bbpress in a new folder, outside the wordpress blog folder structure

the bbpress is integrated with the wordpress database, and uses the wordpress users

I have completed the installation, and I’m getting the first forum page, with the first forum, however I cannot log in (not with admin user, not with any other user). When clicking the “log in’ button, the page reloads and asks me to log in again

any ideas ?

I have installed bbPress in a subfolder of my wordpress blog.

Initial installation worked fine, integration seems to be ok (I can see wordpress users in my bbpress admin page etc)

When I try to open the first forum

http://www.mysite.com/forum/forum.php?id=1

then the page goes blank (browser looks like it’s trying to constantly reloading the page)

What is wrong here, how can I solve this ?

Did you read this post?

Hello,

I am running WordPress 2.6.0 and bbPress 0.9.0.2 and I am not able to get the cookies to work. Know matter what I do I have to login to the forum even though I am logged into wordpress.

I have read and tried the documentation and the posts in this forum and still can’t figure it out.

I am willing to pay for some help on this if you feel you can fix it. I will pay via Paypal.

Note that WP 2.5 / bbPress 0.9 uses a SINGLE key

WP 2.6 / bbPress 1.0 uses THREE different keys

[gives up]

bring on the docs

This is my installation structure

|–mydomain.comwordpressbbpress

I am using WP 2.5.1. and bbpress 0.9

1) Can someone please elaborate steps 3, 4, 5? They’re very vague.

2) What do I do about cookies if my structure is like above?

I pasted:

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/wordpress/’);

per the instructions listed in “settings -> WordPress Integration”

How do I know if the cookies are working correctly?

I have the other steps down correctly. I simply got lost at 3,4,5 and don’t know what to paste in my wp-config.php.

Any other tips will also be helpful. Thanks.

You go here to get your “secret key” (there’s three of them. https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, …

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, …

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, …

you place these in your wordpress wp-config.php file where the empty one were.

Then you post the keys inside the secret key box in the bb press installation wizard.

Or if you missed that part and your putting it directly into your bb-config.php file

you replace: define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, …

and everything after in on that LINE.

with: your three secret keys.

and that should fix everything, …that is if you have all your other wordpress – bbpress integration stuff lined up correctly

By the way, if you are asking yourself if it’s worth this much trouble getting eAccelerator to work, the answer is definitely yes. It will give you a very nice speed boost in bbPress and WordPress.

Since your server is very standardized as Cpanel + PHP 4.4.8 I am virtually positive we can get this going.

I’ve just setup bbpress 1.0 with wordpress 2.6.1. The install went fine and I’m logged in as an admin but I’m having a few issues.

First I cannot get to the admin control panel, when I click the admin link, or enter the url to the admin panel I am taken to the forum index.

Second issue (not sure if they are linked) is when I click add post, or want to reply to a post the text entry box / form is not there.

Anyone able to help me fix these issues?

Many thanks.

under 0.8.x

How about at wordpress.org/support/ ?

[gpo1]

I like your site and Am looking at using wordpress mu + bbpress .

Can your custom plugin lookable be used .if so how much?

bbpress.org runs 0.9.0.2 here.

[chrishajer]

Does anyone have a guess at the version of bbPress that’s running bbpress.org/forums/ or wordpress.org/support/ ?

Is there anything that would give it away in the source if you looked? Like a specific class or id that came about in a specific version?

[chrishajer]

bbPress is beta software right now. The latest beta release is 0.9.0.2. That release is not compatible with WordPress 2.6. The decisions are up to you.

The compatibility is only an issue if you want integration. If you don’t need integrated users between bbPress and WordPress, then install bbPress 0.9.0.2.

[hyapadi]

Is it the same with single WordPress integration?

Could I provide each independent forum for each blog created in WMPU?

[leoleoleo]

If not use for production site, but I am using WordPress 2.6.1 and want to use bbPress stable version. What can I do?

[zurdog]

By ‘review’ I simply mean comments that have been posted about it.

[_ck_]

bbPress would have the same requirements of a host as WordPress. So you can check this or ask your host:

https://bbpress.org/about/requirements/

https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

If the host already runs WordPress, they can do bbPress.

Never use an alpha of any product for anything other than testing. Otherwise it’s 100% at your own risk.

bbPress 0.9 is very stable.

There are sometimes daily updates to 1.0 alpha (via the SVN of the trunk) but it will not be “finished” for many weeks.

Who is reviewing 1.0 alpha? You can’t review 1.0 alpha, it’s not finished. That’s like reviewing a car that has no interior.

[zurdog]

I love bbpress, and am anxiously waiting for bbpress 1.0. I’d love to put up my forum now, but have heard mixed reviews on alpha 1. My question is, what is wordpress.org and bbpress.org using? The obvious answer I would think is some form of bbpress… correct?

Since I don’t want to use an ‘alpha’ launching a new site, how do I get the version that bbpress.org is using now, or what wordpress.org is using now? With the thousands of users and posts, it seems like that would be my best bet for stability.

Should I launch my site with the 9.x version or does anyone think a more stable version will be released within the next few weeks?

[_ck_]

No, if you have bbpress and wordpress integrated, and you are with bbPress 0.9, you should stick with WordPress 2.5 because that’s the only version that works with bbPress 0.9

There is nothing wrong with WP 2.5 and no need to upgrade to 2.6, because if you do, you’ll need bbPress 1.0 alpha which is unstable and has bugs.

[clementine]

Done!!!! Let’s wait!!! Thanks so much _ck_ !! (I’m still making the cache things!!)

I’ll tell you in a couple of hours how it looks.

Should I update wordpress version to the last one? Or it’s slower?

Thanks again.

For now you should be okay with cpanel and whm – they do make life much easier running a server. There are things we can fine tune eventually.

However you have one HUGE problem.

You have no mysql cache enabled, at all!

When we get it fixed you will see a big difference in bbpress (and wordpress) performance.
