I have never been hacked while using it but after reading about the recent security issues with WordPress 2.3 and script kiddies hacking those sites, I have to make sure that its completely safe. Were you ever hacked while using bbpress on your website. Thanks for your opinion and views.

[Christiaan]

Hi Chris, I’ve got access to access logs, if that would help.

It appears to be .htaccess related. If I remove the .htaccess file from the WP directory my forum is accessible.

I’ve forgotten the timeline of what I was working on now (can’t multitask very well!) but it’s possibly related to this plugin that I’ve installed to get rid of a 404 problem: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/strange-redirections-and-404s-after-wp-integration

Although when I deactivate this plugin it doesn’t make any difference. Here’s the htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^forum/topic /forum/topic.php [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^forum/forum /forum/forum.php [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^forum/tags /forum/tags.php [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^forum /forum/index.php [QSA,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>



# END WordPress

How about using an RSS widget in WordPress and importing the latest discussions feed URL there?

[Krystian]

Hi.

First of all, thanks a ton for all the hard work that you guys have done making our live easier. I apologies if there is other discussion about this issue (I did a search and didn’t find an answer).

I’m integrating my WordPress blog with BBpress forums and I would like to have the Latest Discussions list in the sidebar for all pages. I already put it in the blog with a WP pluging, now I’m trying to put it in the forum.

I tried copy and paste the code from front-page.php to sidebar.php. It works fine when I’m in the front page, but disappears when I enter in a topic or other page.

So, could you give me a clue, a code or a pluging I can use to have this done???

Any help is appreciate. Thanks.

I have heard of WordPress widgets being used to show the latest bbPress entries in a blog, but nothing I know of that will create a new entry in bbPress from an RSS feed.

Could you use bbSync to follow the RSS items that are imported into WordPress to create the new bbPress topics?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsync/

Or, would RSS2HTML help at all (it wouldn’t make new topics in bbPress)?

http://www.rss2html.com/

Solved:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wordpress-mu-or-not-leads-to-404-errors-but-pages-still-load

[Christiaan]

– when I try to view the “Admin” account profile, I get a wordpress 404 at www/forum/profile/admin.

– Clicking on any topics or forums (I believe I created them before the integration?) even a view of topics with no replies I get the same 404.

I’m getting exactly the same thing. Haven’t tried creating and logging in with a different user yet. Did you resolve this elorg?

[Christiaan]

Solved, my problem was I needed to change <?php bb_get_header(); ?> to <?php get_header(); ?> in the bbPress theme files, but I also needed to move require_once('../wp-blog-header.php'); up to the top of my config file.

It would be useful if both these aspects were mentioned in the Functions section of https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

Who can I contact to suggest these changes to that page?

Hi,

I want to convert from my phpBB forum to bbPress however I need 1 more plugin to make it happen.

I need a Plugin for bbPress which will monitor RSS feed’s and post new items into bbPress as a post.

Does anyone know of a free plugin which does this today?

For WordPress, I’m using the Plugin – FeedWordpress

URL – http://projects.radgeek.com/feedwordpress/

It works great and has many great options. Hopefully something exists for bbPress.

Thanks!

Hi there!

Well, I did something else… I added the keymaster line to my admin wordpress’ db,

Thanks!

[wanrenqingkong]

I install a WP2.5.1 and then trying to integrate bbpress with it.

but mayde due to permission issue, there is error when installing, so I manaually modified bb-config.php according to related document.

but after integration, bbpress admin panel disappeared, even I login as admin and then manually type the bb-admin url, it redirects me to bb-press main page.

Some part of bb-config.php as below, I think it is possiblly the cause(P.S. db prefix for bb is bb_ , db prefix for WP is wp251_):

// If you are running multiple bbPress installations in a single database,

// you will probably want to change this.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

$bb->new_keymaster = ‘admin’; // or whatever the name of the account is.

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BB_LANG’, ”);

// If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.

// Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.

// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.

$bb->domain = ‘http://myeasymaster.com/bbpress902/bbpress/’; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com’

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.

$bb->path = ‘/’; // Example: ‘/forums/’

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘New bbPress Site’;

// This must be set before running the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘webmaster@myeasymast.com’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

// Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = 0;

// Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage

// of Akismet’s powerful spam blocking, you’ll need one. You can get an Akismet key at

// http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

$bb->akismet_key = false;

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave the rest as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp251_’; // ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix.

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://myeasymaster.com/wordpress251/wordpress’;

// WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://myeasymaster.com/wordpress251/wordpress’;

// WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

/* Stop editing */

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

?>

Probably at the same time as WordPress 2.6

[pikaro24]

# END WordPress

how could that happen?

help thanks for replying really appreciate it

hoping to hear from you soon

[chrishajer]

Interesting. Looks like a rewrite issue.

I can access this page just fine:

http://www.libertybed.com/archives/tag/beds

I can’t access any page that looks like this http://www.libertybed.com/archives/92

I can’t access the forum at http://www.libertybed.com/forum/

If you contact me off list I can help you troubleshoot it. You will find contact details in my profile or on the website linked to my username.

[pikaro24]

i just un install the forum bbpress

http://www.libertybed.com

now my word press is not displaying pages even if i uninstall the

bbpress really out of sight here

bout bbpress i just upload it in the webroot naming the directory http://www.libertybed.com/forum

thanks

[chrishajer]

mciarlo: back to the original problem then. When a user registers in bbPress, they’re not registered in WordPress?

Have you searched the forum for either cookie or role?

A couple things sounded interesting:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-integration-logout-problem

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integration-how-to-do-it

[chrishajer]

Please post the URL of your WordPress installation and where you think you should be able to access bbPress. Thanks.

[pikaro24]

[Dennis Whiteman]

XDForum, another WordPress forum plug-in, stopped development a few months ago.

For anyone considering converting their XDForum to BBPress, I’ve posted detailed instructions for converting XDForum tables to BBPress tables on my site. The instructions include a method for tagging your existing content.

I looked for something like this a few months ago and couldn’t find it. Hopefully, someone will find this useful. The result of the conversion can be viewed here…

[Steve12]

There are some simple ways to add a sidebar .It can be done without using any code and there is a superb tutorial in this link http://www.bingness.com/10/useful-products-for-online-business/customizing-any-wordpress-theme-for-free/ which is really useful.

[Sam Bauers]

You do need to use the same user tables for both WordPress and bbPress to achieve what you are after.

Are permalinks meant to work with a WordPress integrated forum?

I configured my bbPress installation to use permalinks but clicking on one sends me to a 404 error page on my blog.

[Christiaan]

Hi, I’ve managed to integrate a fresh install of both WP and bbP successfully up to the point before integrating the WP header/theme.

Despite the overhead I’d like to use the method described at http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/ but when I use this method nothing happens; the forum remains looking the same.

I’m using a full URL address (i.e. http://) to call the blog header because a relative address doesn’t appear to work and I can’t seem to get the absolute address correct.

Any ideas?

[Göran]

I have made some progress. I took the head from WordPress and managed to get a separate head by copying to Dreamweaver and keeping only the head as can be seen on http://www.enkelwebbplats.se/dig9.html Then I took this head and pasted it into header.php in bbPress. It was partly successful as I got a forum with the content I wanted but the formating is not as I want. I had earlier a Kakumei format with only changed colors (form as in another forum I run http://www.32astolf.se/forum/).

I guess I need to change which style sheets that are used but I do not understand how to get the styles I want for the discussion in my forum from bbPress header.php.

Any help would be most welcome!
