Hi. Can you help design a simple vbulletin theme that matches the default wordpress theme? If you know of one that looks similar already please let me know.

Thanks.

[chadvondra]

Just to clarify I have WordPress 2.5 and BBPress .9.0.1 with the integration plugins installed.

[chadvondra]

Yes its an integration with WordPress.

[Sam Bauers]

Are you including WordPress inside bbPress?

The failure is occurring in WordPress’ pluggable.php file, not bbPress.

[charliestout]

Any interest out there in a plugin that would make it possible to output bbPress content into an XML file similar to the WordPress Export so that we could move easily from one server to the next?

@ lostdeviant

Sounds like you just need to logout and then log back in to WordPress once you have changed the WordPress Secret Key

[bryan868]

I think the most important feature for bbPress’ future will be importers / converters.

People are going to want to integrate their forums with WordPress. And those of use already running vBulletin or IPB are going to want to convert to bbPress!

[lostdeviant]

my question is what happens to bbPress when I remove the key from wp-config?

[lostdeviant]

FYI – I tried creating a secret-key according to what I read which lets me finish the install of bbPress however when I try to log in to wordpress I can’t. In fact, I get a message saying that I don’t have permissions!

When I remove my invented secret key, I can login like normal…

[lostdeviant]

I just went to add a bbpress forum to a site I upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.5. On step 2 of the bbpress install, it requests a “cookie secret key” which is supposedly in my wp-config.

I don’t see a secret key there so what am I supposed to do?

“This value must match the value of the constant named “SECRET_KEY” in your WordPress wp-config.php file. This will replace the bbPress cookie secret key set in the first step.”

[silent1643]

also for some reason when using the bbpress.org theme it doesn’t load correctly? any clue?

[silent1643]

okay not sure if this is the right forum category but i’ll ask here

how can i make the forum display on a wordpress page? is there an object html code or something for doing this?

ie i want the same header, footer, and sidebar as my blog, i just want the bbpress forum to show up in my content window where a normal blog post would be shown

thanks in advace

[Sam Bauers]

Set up the user role map in the “WordPress Integration” section of “Settings” in the admin area of bbPress. This will apply roles for each existing member and for subsequent members who join.

@pfdebate

Upgrade to version 0.9.0.1 to permanently fix your problem.

@tonyshucraft

What version of WordPress are you integrating with? It needs to be at least version 2.5, I need more detail to help you out.

This is the error report after running upgrade.

I expected agter bb_config.php was verified I’d be taken to the forum.

It continued a new install?

Restoring database and old files for now.

_ck_ thanks for your reply,

I contacted to technical service, and they said they opened multiview option. But it did not work. And they gave me virtual host configuration:

The error I saw is, ” page not found error”

I use wordpress in my root directory, and I use bbpress in subfolder named as forum. I think wordpress’ .htaccess file do not interfere with the one for forums.

I also asked for httpd.conf settings, but the technical stuff said, directadmin uses very clean httpd.conf settings, and their virtual host setup is nearly the same thing, so they gave virtual host settings:

<Directory /home/abc.com/public>

Options +Includes -Indexes +MultiViews

</Directory>

Technical stuff also, did not figure out why this problem occurs. And he also said multiviews option could reason some security problems.

Followed steps from bbPress blog post.

I’ve installed the new version of BBpress, and evrything works just great, and the integration into WordPress is also great!

I’ve installed a copy over here (in dutch): http://www.labrador-web.nl

[sgatz]

I’ve written my own custom plugin to have bbPress use my site’s authentication system (it’s not wordpress). It’s working beautifully (for the most part). I replace bb_is_user_logged_in and bb_current_user (and the latter sets bb_set_current_user).

The problem is this: AJAX calls to add a new tag, to remove an existing tag (your own or as admin), or to delete a post all fail with a “you don’t have permission to do that”. I see that other plugins have had that problem too. However, if I submit the request using the old school (non-AJAX) url, it works just fine.

So I’m guessing there’s something unique in the AJAX calls and that code seems dense to me. Can anyone suggest some places to check first?

[serimu]

I just moved my forum from cpanel-shared hosting to debian vps server- directadmin.

The only problem I faced was permalinks on my forum.

I am using wordpress & bbpress together, and wordpress had no problem with permalinks.

I tried two options for permalinks to work;

1) option multiviews,

2) bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php

I use .htaccess redirects on my wordpress and had no problem with it. I dont know what to change on my vps, or what to try on my vps, and all of the urls saved on google are not working for now.

I dont know much about debian or vps server, this is my first month. I have root access.

Software Versions

Wordpress 2.2.2

Bbpress 0.8.2.1

Server Software Versions

Apache 2.2.8

MySQL 4.1.10

DirectAdmin 1.31.2

Thanks for reading.

No listing in the plugins tab means the plugin is malformed and is seen as just a file in that directory, not a plugin. You are going to need a plugin header, something as simple as this:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: No 404s

*/

?>

[Shagalaga]

Thx!!! nice support here

[chrishajer]

Seems pretty silly to me too. They could at least put that code in the template and comment it out if they don’t want it to appear, like you see in WordPress themes sometimes.

[chrishajer]

Yes, it’s possible. Since you have users already, you’re going to need to get those users set up as WordPress users so they can comment on your blog. You are going to need an integrated install, and I would recommend WordPress 2.5 and bbPress 0.9 when it comes out. Before that, it will just be painful.

[Shagalaga]

is it possible? Whats with the users on the board, may they write comments on wordpress?

my forum is here

exampledomain.com/forums

and i want to install the worpress here
