You can fix this if you have phpmyadmin.

Do you have it?

go into your bb_usermeta (or wp_usermeta)

and find that last administrator you made, it will look like:

bb_capabilities a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}

and just change the meta_value to

a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;},

user_id meta_key meta_value

[_ck_]

You want WordPress for that, not bbPress.

There’s no need for that in forum software.

Yes, 1.0 alpha is required to integrate with WordPress 2.6

bbpress 0.9 <-> WordPress 2.5.x

bbPress 1.0 <-> WordPress 2.6.x

[articles2u]

Does the 1.0 alpha allow for integration with WordPress 2.6?

[chrissydunno]

i have latest WP and latest bbPress. Looks like integration results in every bb registrant being automatically given ADMIN login role in WP. Role mapping doesn’t seem to make a difference. Is there really no solution to this other than recommended downgrading?

[chrishajer]

bbPress 0.9 is not compatible with WordPress 2.6. Read the first sticky thread for more information. If you cannot wait for a 1.0 release of bbPress, you might try the alpha release that was just packaged up, but I wouldn’t try it on a production site that you care about.

I did find a way to make it work. First install bbPress without WordPress integration. Next go to the bbPress settings and configure the WordPress Integration. Where it asks for the AUTH_SALT, copy the SECRET_SALT. Finally update bb-config.php with your wpmu specific defines.

[parthatel]

I had my WordPress installed by fantastico automatically. Therefore, the AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, and LOGGED_IN_KEY were all different. When bbPress asked me for the SECRET_KEY, I put in the key for AUTH_KEY. Now, integration didn’t work. So…I removed all bbPress tables from the database and changed all the KEYS so that they are the same. I tried installed bbPress again and it still didn’t integrate users. The installation of bbPress says that integration works, but in reality, it didn’t. What do I do now?

*By the way, my wordpress is running fine and I’m not willing to unistall it or delete its database.

[ejacobsh]

I’m having the same problem and haven’t been able to work around it. bbPress did successfully install without WordPress integration. So, now I’m trying to do the integration manually.

Hello,

what is the function for have the theme directory in bbpress, like <?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?> for wordpress ?

Bye

[mizzmuzikluvr]

Well, I was having issues with my WordPress admin, so, like a clever person I created a new admin name and deleted the old. Well. Turns out that in doing so I’ve deleted my keymaster in BBPress.

I’ve seen some posts that suggest editing the tables. I’ve tried adding the code

$bb->new_keymaster = ‘AdminTwo’;

to my bb-config.php and then running install.php. But, nothing happens. So, if I must edit my database, can someone please let me know in more deatail how? (Ie: Which tables, which values, etc.)

Thank You so Much!

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.website.org’);

or

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘website.org’);

I tried both of these, in addition to define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

But still no luck. Any ideas?

/edit Just another bit of info, bbpress is in /bbpress, and wordpress is in /wordpress. I don’t know if it makes a difference, but I thought I would mention it.

Hi!

This is just a comment just in case it helps because I had to remove again bbpress.

I tried to integrate 1.0 Alpha with Wp following the bbpress installer and after installation finished, admin login was all messed.

First, bbpress changed my wp admin password. I re-set the old password from bbpress control panel and everything seemed to work fine again but next, whenever I tried to login in wordpress I had to log-out from bbpress.

Hope developers consider a better bbpress-wp integration for 1.0 final

[bh]

BBpress told me to put this in the wp-config, and I did, but still no luck.

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

[csseur3]

hi,

for the wp-config.php file in wordpress, it is:

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.website.org’);

or

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘website.org’);

?

thanks

Fred

I just did the installation, and things went quite smoothly.

Just one issue so far…

If you log into wordpress, you are logged into bbpress. Great!

But, if you log into wordress, you are not logged into bbpress. Not great.

I made sure the settings were correct, but I could not find a reference to secure_auth_salt in WordPress.

Also, how would one go about creating a single login for both sites that isn’t either wordpress or bbpress specific?

Lastly, is there any type of theme integration, or any tips on creating a unified design?

BBpress 1.0 alpha 1

Wordpress 2.6.1 beta 2

[thion]

I agree with _ck_ – the point behind bbPress is to make the easiest and simplest forum script ever – personaly, I see no need for members list, really. It’s not very useful on huge forums like WordPress support, and there’s no point for that on small forums where everyone know each other.

[csseur3]

And I think you are missing the people who will say “oh, we need a plugin for just that! I can’t imagine the others! “

I have already twenty plugins activated, some of which, as memberlist, which does not change of code (or very little) and they can be integrated safely by default.

In place of a plugin, a checkbox in the options natives would be better, no?

As WordPress 2.7 perhaps we should integrate the most simple and the most popular plugins by default, no?

I thought about it to ensure the development of bbPress and enable it to compete with others. And if there is more interested users = more visitors for the sites of the plugins creators on their “donate” link lol: p

Please, think at the question^ ^ or create a “plugin integration poll” :p

Bug fixes are good. New features, too.

[flywitness]

i’m new to all this wordpress stuff so forgive me if this is too hackish.

i installed wp2.6 and bbp1 alpha. they almost integrate. i had a problem getting the admin link to work when i had logged in via wordpress (no problem logging in via bbpress). on investigation i discovered wp login was setting cookies only for itself, whereas bbpress was setting cookies for itself and wordpress.

my solution tells wordpress to be as polite as bbpress:

insert the following into wp-config.php replacing {bbpath} with your bbpath:

define(‘BB_ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/{bbpath}/bb-admin/’);

define(‘BB_PLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH’, /{bbpath}/bb-plugins/’);

define(‘BB_MYPLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/{bbpath}/my-plugins/’);

open wp-includes/pluggable.php and find where the cookies are set – these lines:

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, PLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, $secure);

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, $secure);

insert the following immediatley after:

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, BB_ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, $secure);

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, BB_PLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, $secure);

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, BB_MYPLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, $secure);

now wordpress will set the same cookies as bbpress thus allowing full access averywhere.

like i say, i’m fairly new to this so please correct me if i’m wrong or if this approach has security implications.

[playwithsticks]

IT IS WORKING!!!!! Thanks for all your help!

[chrishajer]

I don’t know about a complete solution, but I’ve been able to get this one working.

Email Authentication Issue

If it becomes a large enough issue, I imagine someone will create a plugin for it. Until then, this is a work around.

Integrating something like this does not affect WordPress integration as far as I know. It’s just the email function. I imagine WordPress would have the same issue sending out emails unless you use a plugin like this there as well.

[chrissydunno]

has anyone seen a complete solution for this issue? many hosts do not allow php mail() function because it doesn’t support smtp authentication

i’ve seen several posts about swiftmailer, phpmailer alternatives, but none offer a step by step instructions?

interested in modifying files only from the latest verion bbpress-0.9.0.2.zip

also, are any of these solutions integrated with wordpress? or when you use them you lose the bbpress user = wp user integration?

any kind of complete solution would be appreciated by many

[mytriniphone]

ok so what would be the best way to upgrade?

thanks in advance

Aaron

[Hellweaver666]

I now have a good working intgration between WordPress 2.6 and bbPress 1.0.

So… errrm… YAY!

[playwithsticks]

ah! ok, thanks
