Hey!

So after the rather simplified installation and integration with WordPress, I finally finished setting up the forum section of my website. But after several unsuccessful attempts, I was unable to get Sub-Forums working. All of the forums I create just show up on the home page as a top-level forum. I then try to put it under a parent forum, but it just doesn’t work. I try everything. I am currently running the latest version of bbPress witht he WOrdpress INtegration Plug’-In installed. I ask that someone please help as this is very important towards the deployment of my site

THANKS!

Miraploy,

What works? Overwriting the files?

[miraploy]

That works, thanks.

[wrsantiago]

Thank You I finally got them working in the same database.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

From lasir’s config file, it looks like a common theme may be that the error message says:

Access denied for user 'thechamp'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

but the config file specifies a different user: thechamp_risal. (Can the others who are experiencing this problem please post the DB details of their setup as well?).

This often indicates that the specified user doesn’t exist (or possibly doesn’t have access) in the specified database.

Lasil, I’m not sure what this post is showing. Are you looking at users in the wrdp1 database or in thechamp_wrdp1?

The other commonality here may be that all of you are using the mysqli extension. It could be that there’s a bug there that’s only now popping up since most people use the mysql extension.

You can try overwriting /bb-includes/db-mysqli.php with /bb-includes/db.php (so that you have two copies of db.php) to see if that helps.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

They can be in the same database, and it won’t cause any problems. They can be in different databases too. bbPress will work in either situation, though it’s easier to set up if bbPress and WordPress share the same database.

After install bbpress 0.8.3 on windows XP localhost (WAMP5 1.7.3):

if try access to Admin Panel i see warnings and nothing more…

[stefanjohansson]

Absolutely! The DB has a password and I wrote it correctly in the config-file.

I just read in another thread about other people experiencing the same problem, here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/intergration-will-not-let-me-logon-using-my-wordpress-login?replies=8

[miraploy]

I would like to use bbpress as soon as possible, I would appreciate it if some adventerous soul took a crack at it and made a few code edits.

Thanks.

[stefanjohansson]

I have this problem…

I posted a thread about it before I read this discussion.

Help is appreciated!

[stuzog]

Further to the above, that behavior was from the admin users page of the dashboard.

I also can’t get into any of the topics on the forum itself. Clicking these and also any tags sends me back to the front page of the blog. The URL indicated in the status line of the web browser shows links to non-existent /forums/forum/[slug], /forums/topics/[slug] and forums/tags/[slug] links that simply don’t exist as files in directories.

Looks like it isn’t doing any of the magic stuff to look up the appropriate bb_ tables in the wordpress database, which exist and seem to be OK.

It worked for wp 2.2.2 and bb 0.8.2.

[stuzog]

I’ve just installed bbPress 0.8.3 in /forums/ in WordPress 2.3, but when I click on a user name or profile to inspect or edit, I’m taken back to the front page of the blog.

Hovering over the link shows [blog URL]/forums/profile/[user name]. Hovering over the Edit link gives [blog URL]/forums/profile/[user name]/edit.

Other than that, it seems to be working, although I haven’t tested it fully.

[chrishajer]

Sounds similar to this problem:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/intergration-will-not-let-me-logon-using-my-wordpress-login?replies=6

Maybe it’s a bug? I don’t see a trac ticket for it.

[chrishajer]

Maybe this is a bug. I’ve seen that error reported a couple of times now…

[pwdrskier4]

I have added:

require_once(‘path/to/wp-blog-header.php’);

to my bbPress config file to allow bbPress to have access to wordpress functions. Now I want to do the reverse and add access to bbPress functions in WordPress. Is there a similar easy way to do this?

[miraploy]

I have the exact same problem.

Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: Access denied for user ‘watchstu’@’localhost’ (using password: NO) in /home/watchstu/public_html/forums/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php on line 80

Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: A link to the server could not be established in /home/watchstu/public_html/forums/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php on line 80

I noticed that in the error it says usingpassword: NO

Well obviously it’s not going to connect to anything if it’s not using the password. Please fix this bug!

Users in wrdp1

thechamp_risal (Privileges: ALL PRIVILEGES)

Connection Strings

Perl $dbh = DBI->connect(“DBI:mysql:thechamp_wrdp1:localhost”,”thechamp_risal”,”<PASSWORD HERE>”);

PHP $dbh=mysql_connect (“localhost”, “thechamp_risal”, “<PASSWORD HERE>”) or die (‘I cannot connect to the database because: ‘ . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db (“thechamp_wrdp1”);

thechamp_wrdp1 (Privileges: ALL PRIVILEGES)

mysql_select_db (“thechamp_wrdp1”);

here is MySql info also. Is there a way i could just run a standalone install and after the install intergrate them?

[lasir]

“Also, those are warnings, which are not good, but the connection was still made to the database. ” thats encouraging lol. Here is my wp-config file.

Also both users have full access(thechamp_wrdp1 and thechamp_risal). I thought at first it was some type of permission issue so i created thechamp_risal to test.

thanks again for the quick response

[chrishajer]

Sounds like one of your four database settings is incorrect. Either the host, dbname, password or dbuser must be wrong. Is the database on another host? Are you sure the connection details are correct? Are you using the same database for your wordpress installation? You can check the settings in wp-config.php and see if they’re the same.

Also, those are warnings, which are not good, but the connection was still made to the database.

[wrsantiago]

Ok so went ahead and did it. Is working now, Thank for the hint. A really appreciated.

[wrsantiago]

Ok I changed all the info and when I reload the page is going to the installer. Would this affect my blog if I install bbpress in the same database.

I know this are newbie questions but trust me I am working very hard on getting better I have big plans and maybe one day I will be troubleshooting a newbie.

Thanks in advance

[wrsantiago]

So technically I dont need the bbpress database? I just have to use the wordpress database for the blog and the forum?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

It sounds like like your WordPress tables are in a different database (with a different database name and password).

bbPress can handle that situation too, but you need to help it a bit more. You need to define:

USER_BBDB_NAME, USER_BBDB_USER, USER_BBDB_PASSWORD, and USER_BBDB_HOST.

(with your WordPress database name, username, password, and host, respectively) just like you defined the regular BBDB_ database settings.

[wrsantiago]

Please help I have been trying for 3 days now, I think I tried everything on this forum without any luck.

I also upgraded to 0.8.3 and installed all the plugins that I found
