The short answer is no, it’s not possible out of the box, but it is probably possible using a tricky sequence of redirects between the domains.

Hi,

Just installed bbpress latest version on mybrandinc.com. I want to integrate it with my wordpress on featuritis.com and have the users logged in both if they log in at one of the sites. Looks liek for this to work, both the wp and bbpress shoudl be under same domain.

Isn’t there any way to get it to work on different domains.

Thanks for any help/workaround.

With both WP 2.3.3 and WP 2.5 under bbpress 8.3.X I was using the Wordspew plugin to present a shoutbox plugin on my front page of bbpress.

It worked fine, and users who registered with my bbpress were included as wp users as well with the bbpress integration plugin.

Once I upgraded to 9.0.1 the call to the script which presented the shoutbox simply didn’t work anymore.

I poked around and tried to manually add the javascript and css calls in the template header, but nothing worked.

I restored my database to the previous condition, re uploaded my files, and it’s working fine.

I’m wondering what’s changed which would interfere with this simple procedure?

To my mind, if it were an integration thing… then the shoutbox would appear, and new users would not be recognized. So they wouldn’t be able to post shouts.

Instead, the get_jal_wordspew function simply doesn’t work.

Any ideas how I could either get this working again with the new version and improved integration?

Or perhaps port the wordspew plugin to become a bbpress plugin?

It’s silly that a shoutbox is so important at the top of a message board… but people really love it.

Not if you want to share cookies between WordPress and bbPress.

I think you need to ask on the WordPress.org forums why adding a secret key messes things up. Technically, even though you are using an integrated installation, bbPress does not touch WordPress.

Side note: if you have the integration plugins installed, you will need to remove them. They are no longer required.

[Sam Bauers]

The bbPress role will not be applied for users created in WordPress until the user logs in to bbPress.

See this page in the documentation.

You have just described one of the Google Summer of Code ideas that might be going ahead.

This is something I will be pursuing to create better interoperability between different forum platforms.

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

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.

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.
