Delete ALL tables in the database that start with your bb_ prefix, and try again.
@bryan
I can assure you that following Sam’s video PERFECTLY yields perfect results. I’ve done it at least 10 times. Can you rewatch the video and take notes on what in your particular case may be different? Like directory location, server settings, unique WordPress plugins or setup, anything like that?
I joined your forum, but then realized that your WordPress login page isn’t the traditional wp-login.php. I get redirected when I try to access it. Also, same goes for your admin area. It looks like you’ve got WP logins pretty well hidden from view. Care to let me in?
Hey Sam, all the buzz about BuddyPress got me back on the forums here. Everyone seems to say “that’s a good idea for like, three years from now” when I suggest something. I’m either flattered to be thinking ahead or embarrassed to be so disconnected from present reality.
In any event, thanks for the great down-to-earth response to my pipe-dream post from 8 months ago!
It would appear that ease of integration has greatly improved since then!
I wonder if it’s because of the integration between themes or with WordPress functions conflicting with bbPress functions? These versions are not *supposed* to work when integrated; maybe this is one of the problems.
If you have access to the database, look at the bb_topics table for a field called topic_open which should be 1 for open or 0 for closed. I’m curious what the value is for the first topic.
I created a separate database for bbPress with separate users.
You somehow changed your wordpress settings to look at the users in the new, blank, bbpress install. Therefore noone can login. The wrong cookies aren’t helping.
You need to delete bbpress and change your wordpress wp-config.php to point back to the user table in the old wordpress database.
Did you try what Trent suggested?
Also, WordPress 2.7 does not integrate with bbPress 0.9.*
I’m using bbPress 0.9.0.2. Yes it is integrated with my WordPress 2.7 blog. No active plugins at the moment.
I wish it was mentioned in one of the steps of installation process. What can I do now to fix my WordPress?
None of the authors and administrators can login to their account. The admin area is completely inaccessible.
WordPress 2.6 does not integrate with 0.9.0.3.

Do NOT try to integrate WordPress 2.6 with bbPress 0.9 – only use WP 2.5.1 – the reason for this is simple – WordPress has radically changed the way cookies are used.
Are you using any plugins?
What version bbPress did you install? Is it integrated with your WordPress 2.7 installation (user logins I mean)?
I am trying to integrate bbPress into my WP-operated website. My WordPress is 2.6. I installed bbPress “Brubeck” (version 0.9.0.3) in a subdirectory titled “forum”. I chose the integration option. I created a separate database for bbPress with separate users. Everything went well but at the end I got this message:
“>>> WordPress cookie secret key not set.
>>>>>> Your “bb-config.php” file was not writable.
>>>>>> You will need to manually define the “BB_SECRET_KEY” in your “bb-config.php” file.”
I was able to login at first but later I opened the “bb-config.php” file and entered a secret code there. Then I tried to login again but I got this message:
“Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://thepublicsphere.com/forum/bb-login.php”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.”
I tried to login to my WordPress admin but none of my user names and passwords worked. I tried to reset the passwords but the emails I receive do not contain any new password, neither the link they provide leads to any reset page.
What should I do?
I downloaded bbPress into my wordpress directory, as I am planning on integrating bbPress into my wordpress site, and I go to http://www.mysitename/bbpress and the installer comes up. I put in what should be my database “name, user, and password” and I get the errors:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/usr/local/mysql-5.0/data/mysql.sock’ (2) in /home/content/m/y/g/mygreensprout/html/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 123
and
! There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.
Please check the settings, then try again.
Any suggestions?
That’s a very common question. You might start here:

There’s no way I know of to just put a bbPress forum in a WordPress page.
I’m running WP 2.7 in my site (www.ins-ide.org) and because it, I choose BBpress Alpha and then I install the bbPress 1.0-alpha-4 into my /forum/ inside the ‘public_html’ (thought from I read, it supposed to be the easiest things to do for installing bbpress).
after I extract the ZIP file, I send all the content (via FTP) to the /forum/
Then, I opened the bb-config-sample.php & wp-config.php
I use ‘localhost’ and only matching the MySQL DB user & pass
After that went to http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/bbpress/
and copy&paste the result into my bb-config-sample.php
and DONE!
i just save it as bb-config.php
then with the Force in my mind, I opened http://www.ins-ide.org/forum
*D’oh!
I got this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting ‘)’ in /home/insideor/public_html/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 2124
with the curiosity I’m opened the functions.bb-template.php and seeing whats going on in line 2124,
well.. it is the last line and it says
Code:
function bb_profile_password_form( $id
could anyone helps me to get my forum build?
many thanks!
You will be able to delete spammy WordPress comments through the WordPress admin, but you can’t log in there. You need to reset your WordPress admin user password and undo the integration.
I’m really shocked by this problem. Today, when I’ve visited my forum several forums have disappeared. Then, I go to the admin area, add some other forum and they appear again, made some changes in order of forums and disappear again … but the forums are there: if you click in any post of the forums disappeared you can see that the forum exists 🙄
What can be happened?
I use bbPress 1.0.4, by the way, and the forum url is http://ayudawordpress.com/foro/
Guess I have some work to do before our next conversation. Though it would seem I should be able to delete the spams through WordPress. I will post in forums there. Thank you so far.
I followed the video tutorial posted in this forum and when I completed Step 3 it said everything had been created, but that the forum had failed to be installed. Then I deleted the config.php file and tried to install bbPress again, but this time it wouldn’t let me get past Step 1. When I tried to move on to Step 2 the page timed out and said Firefox could tell that some process would continue for forever. So I checked the database and realized all the files from before were there, so I deleted all the ones involving bbPress and then tried to run the installation again. I do Step 1 fine, and then I fill out all of Step 2 just fine, and when I click to move on to Step 3, it tells me that everything has been set up correctly and is linked (WordPress and bbPress sharing the same users). But then when I get to Step 3, at the top it says that I skipped Step 2.
I that point I thought that I might as well just go ahead and finish installing bbPress, even if the users aren’t linked, and it let me, and told me everything had been installed correctly. But the forum wasn’t set up and I checked the database and nothing had been added.
I’ve tried reinstalling bbPress on the server, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is the WordPress site online somewhere, where these bbPress comments are being sent? If you did integrate a newer version of WordPress (2.6 or newer) with bbPress 0.9.0.2, that is the problem. There are significant changes between version 2.5.* and 2.6.* WordPress that make integration with specific versions of bbPress important:
First post here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101
WordPress 2.6 came out July 15, 2008<a/>.
Sounds like you are using bbSync then, to create comments at WordPress when someone posts to the bbPress forum? I didn’t know bbSync worked like that, but it’s possible. So it sounds like someone posts in the forum, somehow that gets into WordPress, you get an email to moderate the comment, but you can’t log in to your WordPress admin panel?
What version bbPress and WordPress are you using? It sounds like you have incompatible version installed and your WordPress admin login no longer works due to integration? What versions did you install? Sounds like bbPress 0.9.0.2 – how about WordPress version?
I am trying to embed some javascript on my BBpress forum using this code from my WordPressblog.
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/js/prototype.js”></script>
What is the equivalent of <?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?> in BBpress?
WordPress- They say [Please Moderate]. Oh boy, am I confused. I have both folders. WP & bb press. When somebody posts to my forum, I get email from WordPress to please moderate. When I log in to admin, it says bbpress 0.9.0.2, but I cannot perform any functions from that page. When I answer email notices from WordPress, it will not accept a WordPress password. Boy, am I confused. The blog is bbpress but the emails come from WordPress.
Are you talking about bbPress or WordPress? There is no email notification of comments in bbPress unless you set it up for email notification of your favorites. Did you do that, or are you talking about WordPress?
It sounds like you’re talking about bbPress and WordPress, but they’re separate, and I can’t even see where you have WordPress installed?
Are the emails coming from bbPress or WordPress, and what is the URL for moderation?
I believe not. I believe that I am running on the original WordPress that I installed in August but had moved out to the desktop before trying to install current upgrade on Friday. But there is no new WordPress in my application folder.
You mentioned WordPress administration? Where is the WordPress site? I didn’t see it here: http://www.kanigerlandis.com/
Immelody!!!! thank you so much!
