Hello,
I’m planning to using bbPress on a WP site/blog I am currently working on, on my local. WordPress is up and running already, a relatively clean install save for a couple of themes, and some entries. No plugins yet. I download bbPress, upload it underneath my WP root directory (where the blog is), change config to match WP config (for my local it’s just changing out the database name; I have a username/password account set up already for each of test installs), and try to install. I get:
DB Error: cannot select
…on all pages. I’ve looked at both bb-config and wp-config and the database values are identical, except for the suffix variable naturally. I’ve checked the database, only wp_* tables are there. I am using a fresh bbPress download.
Just for completeness’ sake (comments removed for brevity):
bb-config.php excerpt:
/** The name of the database for bbPress */define('DB_NAME', 'pugad-lawin');
/** MySQL database username */
define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘username’ );
/** MySQL database password */
define( ‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’ );
/** MySQL hostname */
define( ‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’ );
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define( ‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’ );
/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define( ‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ” );
/** snip snip **/
/**
* bbPress Database Table prefix.
*
* You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique
* prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
*/
$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;
wp-config.php excerpt:
/** The name of the database for WordPress */define('DB_NAME', 'pugad-lawin');
/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘username’);
/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’);
/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
/** snip snip **/
/**
* WordPress Database Table prefix.
*
* You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique
* prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
*/
$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;
Again, I have a username/password user setup on my local MySQL database for testing purposes, so yes, it is expected that those will be staying the same.
Any info on this would be great. Thanks!
I turned them on.
I found the problem though, some time in the middle of last night I had some hair brained idea to reverse integrate bbpress back into WordPress so I could display forums in my sidebars and what not… well I’m running µ and I didn’t want everybody who hosts with us to have to load bbpress and not even get to use it, so I was being ‘crafty’. Somehow I managed not to break WP, but I busted bbPress.
Woke up this morning and forgot all about it.
Cool; phpMyAdmin I can do.
So, I could probably upload that file into the same database as the WordPress install, right, since the prefixes are different? That would help integration immensely, if I’m not mistaken… and then configure bbPress to use WordPress’ user tables (which has been described before in many places)?
What happens then w/ the old bbPress users? Not that I actually care, much, if we’re using WordPress’ user tables… I guess I just don’t know what happens for the posts made by defunct users. Any advice there?
(and thanks again, everybody… this is supremely helpful.)
Topic: Help!
Hi, I’m a total novice at this. Trying to set up a closed member only forum for a group. Will bbpress work for this? We currently have blog set up for group (irecee.wordpress.com) and want to add link in to access member forum from it. As we have no server for this site, I have uploaded bbpress to my org website (www.moldovavision.org) and hope to link from there. I have uploaded ok into new dir called ‘talk’. What now? I can’t access the weblink to activate it – tried http://moldovavision.org/index.php/talk which is returning an error code:
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.
Confused. Can anyone help?
Thanks a mill
Here’s the situation: I’m moving a membership site from an old static HTML site w/ a phpBB forum over to a WordPress install and a bbPress forum. The WordPress site is set up, users added, membership issues handled w/ the WishList Member plugin, and my phpBB › bbPress conversion questions have been answered; my questions are about integrating that newly converted bbPress w/ the WordPress.
- Is it possible to use WP 2.8.4 and bbPress 1.0.2, or should I stick with bbPress 0.9?
- Is there any way to integrate the two that would allow for a continuous login?
- And perhaps the biggest question is: how do I upload/merge the converted bbPress database with the existing WP database?
- And once that’s done, how to deal with the disparity of users in WP with the old bbPress?
One idea I have is to create a new bbPress install that’s integrated with WP, and then once the conversion of the old forum is complete, to try to import that data into the existing install. Would that make sense?
Or, is it possible to just have the two databases separate, but use plugins (assuming I’m sticking with 0.9) to create the continuous login? Is that even possible? How would that share user data?
So, what would you do if you were in my shoes? Thanks for all your help.
in wordpress’ admin screens, many author names are displayed in brackets or are entirely blank.
in the user profile area of the wordpress admin interface, these users appear to have a display name – but when checking phpmyadmin, i realise they actually have a blank display_name field in the wp_users table.
if i save their profile in wordpress (without touching anything), the display name is set again in the database and all is fine. if i then save their profile in bbpress, their display name disappears again.
this suggests that saving profiles via the bbpress profile page blanks out the display_name field.
could anyone suggest how i might go about tracking down the problem?
