I love you! It worked !! Thank u so much!

But now to how to make it look like my wordpress theme. Do u have any tip or link where i can find that information?

[chrishajer]

Yes, the URL is wrong in the config. The URL should be http://www.jompen8.byethost13.com/wordpress/bbpress/ for the location of your bbPress installation, and http://www.jompen8.byethost13.com/wordpress for the location of your WordPress installation (if you are planning on integrating user logins.)

The link or button you put in your WordPress installation should point here: http://www.jompen8.byethost13.com/wordpress/bbpress/. You can delete page 24 in WordPress (unless you want to use a WordPress redirect plugin to have an actual WordPress page, so the link appears easily in your navigation – just redirect it to http://www.jompen8.byethost13.com/wordpress/bbpress/).

Once that is all sorted, you will have a forum installation accessible from WordPress, but it will look nothing like your blog theme. There’s more work involved in making that happen, copying over the header and footer and sidebar and making the forum look like the blog. It’s all doable, it just takes time and energy and some CSS and HTML skills (maybe some PHP too.)

First get it in the proper location, accessible at the proper URL, then worry about getting it to look like you want. Because bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress, it is not going to look like your blog pages at all without some work.

[jompen8]

oh I missed your message before my last one.

“It looks like you made bbPress a page inside your WordPress installation?”

Yes, I´m afraid.

So maybe the full-url is wrong in the config-file? Do I have to reinstall the whole thing then? And what should the full-url-thing be next time.

I tested right now to create a page (the URL to my forum) and that worked But as u see u cant do anything when u are there.

I´m really confused right now,doh.

I just want to have a forum, a link to it in the menu, it should be integrated (not just for itself, it should be like a new page)

Is this possible? its feels hopeless.

[chrishajer]

At this URL I see a blank forum WordPress page that has a title of “Forum”:

http://jompen8.byethost13.com/?page_id=24

That’s not how it works. You need to have the bbPress directory inside the WordPress folder. It looks like WordPress runs the whole site, so your forum will be available at http://jompen8.byethost13.com/bbpress/ .

To get to the forum, you need to make a link in your navigation to “Forum” (just like there is now) but it won’t be a WordPress page, it will just be the URL of your forum (http://jompen8.byethost13.com/forum/).

bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress and it won’t look like your WordPress installation (with header, footer, sidebar and style) unless you do some work.

[chrishajer]

That’s the best setup for integration, with the bbPress directory a subdirectory of the WordPress directory. The thing that threw me was that this is still a valid (if somewhat broken) URL:

http://www.johnwade.ca/Forums/

I think the integration needs to happen up front, in the config.php, since an integrated install modifies the wp_users table and does not create a bb_users table. I’m not sure if you can go back and edit the config to make it integrated later. I don’t think it would work since the table creation and modification are done upon installation.

[chrishajer]

It looks like you made bbPress a page inside your WordPress installation? I’d say that’s incorrect in your config. Or, does that page_id 24 just redirect to a forum URL??

[chrishajer]

For integration, you have it set up properly with the forum folder inside the WordPress folder. So, the URL is correct if you want that setup. If you don’t care about WordPress integration (mostly user logins) then you would put the forum folder on the same level as the WordPress folder.

[jompen8]

Thank u ! the installation worked!

BUT! I have one problem:

I wanted my forum to be at http://jompen8.byethost13.com/?page_id=24/

but i cant see it there?! ( at the page called “forum” )

Instead it is here at http://www.jompen8.byethost13.com/wordpress/bbpress/

Do you know what i have done wrong? Plz help me !

can it be something with that full-url in my config.php file here :

Some success. I found where things were getting stopped up. In the config section looking for “what are you going to call me” (By now I had a few choice words.) I included an apostrophe. When I removed it, the installation went smoothly and I can get into the admin side of things.

Can I now, after the fact integrate with wordpress by making the changes in the config file? Or is it plugin time. bbpress is inside the folder containing the wp files.

jw

[chrishajer]

Interesting (16:12 CST):

Your bbPress URL (http://www.johnwade.ca/Forums/) is not a subdirectory of your WordPress URL (http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate).

Sharing login cookies is possible but is more complicated. See the documentation about integrating bbPress and WordPress.

In the meantime, remove the http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate setting from your config.php file, or you may not be able to log in.

[fooddude]

I’m running bbpress 0.8.3.1 integrated into my wordpress 2.3.3. BBPress is in the same database as my WordPress. The problem is, I can’t get a feed from the front page. If I point Feedburner or whatever to bbpress, it discovers a feed (wordpressblog/bbpress/rss.php), but it returns a not valid error. If I go to it in my browser, I get a blank page.

I’ve tried reinstalling bbpress, and switching to the default theme to no avail. Anyone have any ideas?

[kernow]

thanks for the info. Have installed and sync’ed WordPress and BBpress on xammp now. Really there is nothing like an install you can play with without worrying about it all crashing

Re the integration plugins with security issues, what is the situation with those?

[johnwade]

Meant, drop and I’ve started over. WordPress went fine. bbpress went into a folder called forum and got this error:

I got this error when i tried to install :

Can anybody help me? Please

[chrishajer]

What do you mean by dump? It doesn’t look like there’s anything there to save, so I would drop the tables and start over by letting WordPress and bbPress create new tables in the database with the proper (different) table prefixes (from your configs.)

[chrishajer]

Interesting…

I don’t know why it would redirect to the home page vs. giving you a failed login attempt. I registered, received my email, tried logging in, and it seemed like it just redirected to the front page of the forum again.

Is the WordPress installation going to be here:

http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate/ ?

If so, with integration, the bbPress installation should be here then (I believe):

http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate/Forums/

but it’s actually here:

http://www.johnwade.ca/Forums/

I wonder if the cookie path is wrong and that prevents bbPress from setting the proper cookie and thus thinks you’re not logged in, or that you logged back out since there is no valid cookie?

I checked the cookies that were set and I have a cookie path of /puppyplaydate/ for wordpressuser and wordpresspass. I would expect the cookie path to be /Forums/ with this setup.

As a test, I just stopped accepting cookies for my site (integrated with WordPress as well), then tried logging in. If I tried to log in while I was viewing a forum, it just silently redirected me to the forum home page. This seems like confirmation that it’s a cookie issue at this point. I can make mine do what yours is doing.

If I set the 2 cookies manually in Firefox, I am logged in! Check this out:

Screenshot of me logged into your forum:

http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/ppd-profile.png

Screenshot of the cookies I manually set (note path /Forums/):

http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/ppd-cookies.png

Here is the response from your server where it tries to set the cookies with a path of /puppyplaydate/:

HTH

Integration works fine.

If you are using WordPress 2.3.x you need bbPress 0.8.3.x and if you are using WordPress trunk (2.5 alpha) you should use bbPress trunk r1075.

Essentially cookie hashes and paths have to be sync’ed and a plugin is needed on the bbPress side to set WordPress roles if they register through bbPress.

I’ve assembled most of the details here:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/better-bbpress-wordpress-integration-the-missing-faq

Or you can comb through the integration tag here:

[alexandreperei]

It is, because i took out the pt_BR, i have put in config.php, and it works well, but i need trasnlation to portuguese, portugal.

[johnwade]

I tried creating a new user and logging in but was unsuccessful. Can’t try the forum as far as posting as I can’t log in. Sambauers – I did change the prefix and that helped get things on track, just the log on and getting to the admin section.

I wonder if I should be deleting everything again, wordpress as well, go to mysql and dump the tables and start from scratch (again.)

Your thoughts? Not looking forward to it but will if you think a clean start would eliminate some possibilities.

jw

[Sam Bauers]

Your WordPress table prefix needs to be different to your bbPress table prefix.

[chrishajer]

Did you clear out the user in WordPress and start over by creating a new user? Did you reinstall WordPress as well? I wonder if any modification were made by bbPress to the WordPress tables when you tried to install bbPress with the same table prefix for both bbPress and WordPress.

Can you try just logging in as a user, or registering a new user, then logging in? Does that work, and does the forum work, it’s just that you can’t access bb-admin directly?

[chrishajer]

I believe that is due to the language files. Look here for more info:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/latest-wordpress-038-bbpress-in-another-language

It looks like your site is in Portuguese, but maybe this Spanish thread will be useful:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/en-espanol

[chrishajer]

In your config.php, you should start with mod_rewrite being false. I suspect you have it set to true or slugs, and that is creating problems for you as well.

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

That should take care of the bb-admin issue, unless you are currently logged in and NOT a keymaster or admin. If you are logged in as a regular member and try to access the admin page, I believe you are directed to the bbPress installation instead of admin.

UPDATED INFO after thinking about it: It’s also possible that this redirection is occurring because the creation of tables and modification of tables did not go well, and it’s not reading your user information properly and it does not know you are keymaster with access to bb-admin.

Regarding the SQL errors, is it possible your WordPress installation already used ppd_ as a table prefix, and then you used it in your config.php for the bbPress table prefix as well? If that’s the case, the errors are because it is trying to create tables that already exist or modifying tables with the wrong names. From the snippet of config.php you posted earlier, you showed $bb->wp_table_prefix = 'playdate_'; but also ppd_ in the line below (the ‘for example’ part), and the errors here show ppd_ as the table prefix. Oddly enough, there are some errors with just ppd and no underscore as the table prefix as well.

Seems like it’s a combination of configuration things at this point. Maybe the $bb_table_prefix was set to the same thing as the $bb->wp_table_prefix with the exception of the underscore (so, ppd vs. ppd_). That info doesn’t agree with the piece of the config.php you posted though where you said $bb->wp_table_prefix = 'playdate_';

I suspect the whole picture has not been posted since you’re working on it and trying things and then you make a change and the old information no longer applies.

Right now, you have the database connection issue figured out. You should be using different table prefixes for wordpress and bbpress: wp_ and bb_ are the defaults. In the bbPress config.php, the $bb->wp_table_prefix should be the same as whatever it is in your wp-config.php and THAT should be different from the bbPress table prefix, set earlier in the config.php at $bb_table_prefix.
