shedrock,

even if wordpress and bbpress are using different database u still can have the same user database. The only u need to do is to make sure wordpress and bbpress database name and user is the same.

To call your forum from wordpress, maybe u can try making new static page and set “post slug” = “bbpress folder”. So everytime u click on that page, u will be redirect to your forum.

P/S: maybe this will only work if you enable pretty permalink for wp.

[tgpuckett]

OK, so let me get this straight;

To make bbPress and WordPress match, all I have to do is add:

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

define('WP_BB', true); in my bbpress config.php file (edited to fit my directory structure of course). and then in the theme’s header.php, I put get_header() and bbPress will grab the header from my WordPress install, and all will be right in the world?

[tgpuckett]

Thanks so much! I’ll check these threads and report back w/ any problems.

[peiqinglong]

First off, I would go back to the beginning. Delete all the bbpress files that you put into your WP directory. Then create a sub directory inside of WP, bbpress, or something. Put all of bbpress in there.

If you copied and pasted the config.php file exactly as you inputted it, then the problem seems to be that you didn’t fully fill out the config file.

Config-sample.php should be renamed to config.php and this is what you should be entering (leave anything I didn’t include here alone):

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘wordpress‘); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘ur MySQL username‘); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘the pass to the database‘); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

$bb->domain = ‘http://shadesofblack.free1k.com‘; // 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 = ‘/bbpress/‘; // Example: ‘/forums/’

Give your forum a name and enter your email…

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

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://shadesofblack.free1k.com‘; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://shadesofblack.free1k.com‘; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

And that’s it…go to shadesofblack.free1k.com/bbpress and you should get the installer.

Hello all,

I’ve successfully installed WordPress and bbPress on my site, http://www.macuserblog.com, and I’d like to know how to make the bbPress installation look like my WordPress blog. I’ve already done the integration with users and such as is possible in bbPress’ config.php file, and the next step is configuring the theme so the transition between WP and bbP is as seamless as possible. Thanks!

[preckie]

oops, i tried another version of the config file, i made everything i edited in the “only useful for wordpress integration” part and placed the values “false” and here’s what i got when i tried logging in.

bbPress database error: [Table ‘preckie_wpdb.bb_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’ AND SUBSTRING_INDEX( user_pass, ‘—‘, 1 ) = ‘d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e’

bbPress database error: [Table ‘preckie_wpdb.bb_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’

[preckie]

i uploaded the bbpress folder into the wordpress folder, and then i edited config-sample as shown below: (slighty edited)

// Just the

domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash

here.

$bb->domain = ‘http://shadesofblack.free1k.com’; // 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 = ‘wordpress/bbpress/’; …….

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

Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘my-domain-name.com/wordpress’;

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

slash

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘www.my-domain-name.com/wordpress’; /

and when i’m going to run install, nothing happened, it just lead me right back to my blog. so i tried another version of my installion… this time, i moved the bbpress folder into the main directory, and edited the config file: trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.

$bb-

>path = ‘/bbpress/’;

i was then shocked with what i saw.. the installion message! i entered a username for keymaster: admin and it said that it’ll use my wp password. i tried logging in but i couldn’t. i was taken right back to the index page. i’ve surfed around this forum and realized that wp integration options in the config file will only work if bbpress is uploaded into the wordpress directory. but i really can’t do that because as i’ve said, i tried that in my first install yet nothing happened. help please!

cvanp,

Have you also changed WordPress’ cookies?

[Atsutane]

mdawaffe,

Actually i need to disable both plugin at the same time

[doubter]

thanks, waffe. i am going to try that. mozey, i get the same satisfaction. and yes waffe, i am having no problems with my wordpress.

[cvanp]

Hello, I was directed to this topic by mdawaffe [via https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/52?replies=23%5D and am having a bit of difficulty implementing this.

On my site, I’m not using a subdomain, instead I have bbPress located in a seperate folder from my WordPress installations ( localhost/wordpress and localhost/bbpress). I modified the code somewhat and it the problem hasn’t subsided.

Here’s my modified code in bbPress’s config.php:

// Cookies, bbPress fix

$bb->cookiedomain = 'localhost';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

Thanks!

[abbaanthony]

I have tried to add the above line to my install of bbpress and I get the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare allowed_tags() (previously declared in /home/taacus/public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/general-template.php:602) in /home/taacus/public_html/wordpress/bbpress/bb-includes/template-functions.php on line 949

What am I doing wrong?

[mozey]

why is it that i always get a sense of satisfaction when i create a thread that goes ON and ON?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Atsutane,

Can you disable Ultimate Tag Warrior to see if that fixes both problems by magic?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

doubter,

Can you try moving the file bb-includes/db-mysqli.php somewhere safe and then copying bb-includes/db.php to bb-includes/db-mysqli.php (so that the mysqli file is a duplicate of the other file)?

And, just to help troubleshoot, WordPress is working fine for you on that server?

[peiqinglong]

Thank you! I’ll post the instructions when I get a chance.

[mozey]

suleiman,

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

CTRL^f “We have a WordPress plugin to”

right after that, there are two wp plugins that I BELIEVE gets around this. give them a try. let us know if it works.

[AphelionZ]

That’s pretty cool, but the plugin is only available for WordPress. That means you’d have to call the wordpress tag within bbPress, and I dont load wordpress with my forum (way too complicated for what i need)

However, somebody could take the wordpress code and customize it for bbPress

[andyro]

Sounds like more work than I can get into right now…the integrations on abunchofcars looks great btw. Would you be willing to post your mods somewhere? It may be handy to have something like this with a little instruction so others can integrate, and just edit a single variable, such as width, to accomodate different wp templates…..thanks!

[Atsutane]

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare widget_akismet() (previously declared in /path/to/wp-content/plugins/akismet/akismet.php:376) in /path/to/wp-content/plugins/akismet/akismet.php on line 376

I dont know what went wrong, but this happen when i try to loading wordpress 2.0.5 using bbpress 0.73. Before when i using wordpress 2.0.4 and bbpress 0.72 on my another blog, i dont have such problem. Is it because i have update my akismet plugin or i did something wrong in the config? I only put this on the top of my config.php

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

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

I also have the same problem with Ultimate tag warrior but i can disable that plugin, but i dont want to disable akismet. Anyone got any good suggestion?

[peiqinglong]

doubter:

Are you trying to incorporate the look of your main site into bbpress or functions of WP into bbpress? If you are looking to make bbpress look a part of your site, I highly recommend that you remove all the WP code from config.php. Then make a my-templates directory inside bbpress directory, make a copy of the contents of bb-templates and drop it in there. Then modify the files to match your existing site. See an example here: http://www.abunchofcars.com/forum/

[doubter]

thanks so much for the quick reply, but sadly i am now getting this error

thanks

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

doubter,

$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.captainsdead.com';

That line in the code you pasted is missing a single quote at the end (before the semi colon).

Hope that works

[doubter]

hey gang. i typically can figure stuff out on my own, but after a week of trying to install this i have hit a wall. i am sure i am missing something fairly stupid, but any help at this point would be very helpful. i am trying to incorporate bbpress with my wp blog @ captainsdead.com. I am currently receiving this error.

arse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/captvan4/public_html/config.php on line 55

thanks in advance, very much.
