The reason for this is that you bbPress/forum pages are returning a header of 404 (Not Found) instead of 200 (OK).

But the page is clearly there. You need this fix:

I have a big problem – Google and others doesn’t index my forum. Forum is online for six months. I don’t know how to resolve it. Can anybody help me? Adress is http://www.sanzdrave.cz/forum (WordPress pages and posts are indexed.) Thanks for replies!

Is there a way to convert my SMF Forum users, passwords, threads, and board to wordpressbb?

or users from SMF to wordpress, or somthing? Thanks!

Hi,

I have the following code that works in wordpress:

<?php $homepage = get_settings('siteurl')."/search.php/";

global $wp;

$wp_received_argument = false;

foreach ($wp->query_vars as $k=>$v) if ($v) $wp_received_argument = true;

if ($wp_received_argument) require(TEMPLATEPATH . “/index.php”);

else { wp_redirect($homepage);

exit(); } ?>

Now this wont work in bbpress, so I’ve made some modifications:

<?php $homepage = bb_get_option( 'uri' )."/search.php/";

global $bb;

$bb_received_argument = false;

foreach ($bb->query_vars as $k=>$v) if ($v) $bb_received_argument = true;

if ($bb_received_argument) require(TEMPLATEPATH . “/index.php”);

else { bb_redirect($homepage);

exit(); } ?>

It now crashes at the foreach. What am I missing?

Thx

Let me repeat and clarify – it’s IMPOSSIBLE to integrate bbPress 0.9.x with WordPress 2.6 – the cookie methods are now completely different. You must use 2.5.1

Sam has hinted at the possibility of doing an early 1.0 alpha release which would be compatible with WordPress 2.6 and WPMU 2.6 – no promises and no mention of a specific date yet.

[energymv]

Has anyone successfully integrated bbPress with WordPress 2.6? If so can you explain how you did it?

[Null]

We will not be able to download talkpress and do some hosting on our own? We can do that with wordpressMU, so why not with talkpress?

I’m also looking for an update, and so far found these links:

https://codex.wordpress.org/GSoC2008

http://www.stealyourcarbon.net/2008/07/midterm-progress/

http://www.stealyourcarbon.net/2008/07/bbpress-importer/

and SoC ’08 discussions going on here:

http://groups.google.com/group/wordpress-soc-2008

Not sure if these are good signs … v0.1A seems a long way to a stable version 😮

[_ck_]

You will need bbPress 1.0 to integrate with wpmu 2.6 (or even wp 2.6) which is only available via the trunk. It’s also not stable yet, so not recommended for live sites.

Sam has mentioned possibly doing some kind of early 1.0 alpha release soon to help/please some people who insist on using 2.6 but I don’t know the specifics of the timetable he has in mind.

[_ck_]

TalkPress is going to be like WordPress.com, it’s hosted.

You won’t have plugins (or at least access to them).

Maybe themes and customizable css for $$$

Note the names of the settings in bbPress and WordPress is slightly different. Also, never, ever, edit bb-settings.php, what you want is bb-config.php on the bbpress side and wp-config.php on the WordPress side.

Follow ALL the steps here and you’ll get cookie integration in just a few minutes:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101#post-17410

Note step #8 is where you edit wp-config.php, the rest are for bb-config.php

Similar posts have been made about this subject, and I’ve read the documentation, but no matter what I do I can’t get the cookies to work. I’m sure you hate working with newbies like me because we’re always like, “gah, i can’t get anything to work” but, please, I don’t want to keep tweaking it because I don’t want to mess anything up… One solution here at this forum says to go into the wp_settings.php file and change something… do things like that have be to done, or is there an easier way? By the way, I did actually do that… I went into the wp_settings and changed that cookie_domain line from false to ‘.myurl.com’, if you know what I’m talking about… well, that tweak didn’t work for me either.

I just want to be able to log into my blog, then go to my forum and still be logged in. Or log into my forum and go to my blog and still be logged in, then also be able to successfully log out from either location.

I put

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

in my wp config and it is also in my bb press config.

Now, some posts here say that for the cookie_domain, you have to actually put your domain, like:

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

is this true?

If someone has the time and successfully has cookies working properly between their wordpress blog and bbpress forum, could you help me out?

I’ve stayed up many nights trying to get this to work just right… it’s sad Whats weird is, when I first did the integration it worked BUT I couldn’t log out, so since then I’ve been changing things to fix that, but now, I’m back to square one. I can log into my forum. then, I can log into blog, and I can log out of both with the same username and password, but again, if I log into one and go to the other, I’m not logged in.

I’ve just seen a few different posts and all the posts recommend doing different things. Then the actual documentation of course just says to use the built in integration feature in bbpress, which I used. Since there are so many different posts offering different solutions, can any one give me a step by step fix for this?

Is there a way to have bbpress automatically create a new discussion every time a WordPress post is published. Basically – I post to my WP blog and a related bbPress topic is created where people can discuss the WP post?

Just wondering if it can be done and if so how hard is it to implement?

[thion]

Ok, WordPress and TalkPress are two different projects, and bbPress is third. Send these $250 to my PayPal account and you will get all plugins from my TO DO list (visible on freebies section on my weird blog) till the end of this week – I promise!

If someone is doing something for free, then he is doing this in his free time. You don’t have free time all the time, right? More developers – more free time – faster development. You got the point, right?

Do i need to use Mu WordPress 1.5.1 to get Session integration to fully work with bbpress? I tried it with MUWP 2.6 and it seemed as though the cookies wouldn’t cross over. Thanks for the help! I will get to trying this soon if no one has given me the thumbs down..

@_ck_: Sorry, English is not my native language, and I don’t know what is mean “full-time employment” and “financial security to back bbPress into the foreseeable future”. But programming is my job. I’m not using forum software for my personal website, but planning for late 2009 or 2010. Yes, I have so much time.

@Thion: Yes, of course. But WordPress(.com) and (probably in the future with TalkPress) bbpress are not hobbies. Red Hat Linux too. Thank Automattic for free WordPress – it’s really excellent.

Thanks all for the answers! Missing too.

TalkPress will be hosted forums just like WordPress.com does hosted blogs. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/talkpress

I suspect the development of TalkPress will eventually cause the menu integration of WordPress and bbPress somewhere down the line (perhaps WP 3.x and BB 2.x).

Not sure if that’s what I personally would want as the WordPress admin menu is getting a bit crowded but I guess it would be handy to be able to mange users in one place, etc.

[_ck_]

There is only one person currently working on bbPress. WordPress has a few main people in charge and dozens (if not hundreds) of people contributing additions and bug fixes.

Look, your complaints are doing nothing to help. There’s no amount of comments you could make which is going to instantly put dozen of people working on the project. bbPress costs nothing. It’s free. If you have something which is a priority or commercial in nature you need to find something else to satisfy you.

Apparently you are already using SMF so why are you even complaining here?

[threevisual]

I’m a bit confused to if bbpress will be compatible with wordpress 2.6, will it be? And can you guesstimate when we might see something?

I’d love to be able to use bbpress but I’m running 2.6 so may have to look for something else, not sure if there are any good alternatives?

[wiseacre]

And bbpress has had many weeks of … nothing. And some funny old bugs.

Look at WordPress. How many lines of code you can find? And how many tickets are closed for a week? This is “development time” for me.

In other hand the bbpress development team does not give people timely versions … and news. For now this project looks like a hobby.

[_ck_]

Hmm, is this the default in WordPress? define('COOKIEHASH', md5($_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]));

does that actually appear in wp-config.php by default? Because that would override the cookiehash calculation. Make sure then you have this in your bb-config.php

define('BB_HASH',md5($_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]));

also, since you are trying to do “full” (complex) integration. You may want to see here for more ideas: http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/

[wiseacre]

Do you plain to write bbpress?

4 days before August 1,2008 there are 41 (59%) open tickets? What did you do last mounts?

Some days after (!!) WordPress 2.6 release _ck_ (is he developer???) wrote “Integration does not work!!!”. Do someone knows what is RC or beta version? The great sambauers wrote “Good work”. OK, man, what are YOU doing?

Oh, yes, I know – this is open source and free software. But SMF is working well.

My WordPress/bbPress still does not integrate.

RE: FIVE things must be identical in WordPress and bbPress

configuration for cookies to be sync'ed and logins to be shared:



1. DATABASE secret key

2. wp-config.php/bb-config secret key

3. cookie DOMAIN

4. cookie PATH

5. cookie hash

1. I have checked the database secret_key – it matches.

2. I have updated the SECRET_KEY in both config files – they match.

3. 4. & 5. I have the following code in my wp-config

define('COOKIEPATH','/');

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/');

define('COOKIEHASH', md5($_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]));

And, my bb-config INCLUDES wp-config because of previous instructions on WP/BB integration.

define('WP_BB', true);

if ( !defined('DB_NAME') ) {

require_once( 'full/path/to/wp-config.php');

}

NOTE: “full/path/to” was changed to the real ‘full path’

Any thoughts?
