Hi,
Today, after read many tutorials I integrated WP with bbpress, now any new site subscriber became forum member, and etc anything is ok at this point.
BUT the problem is that need to log in forum, when user is logged in WP, even admin/key master need to do the same, nothing comes automatically, I have installed the bbpress integration plugin and added
define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ ); to wp-config.php in top after <?php
Please let me know what I have missed.
Thanks
I run a site that have two forums
One is private, only for our clients, and the other is public. Both run in a .com.ar domain and on Icy Phoenix, a CSM based on phpbb2. The thing is im moving the site to a .com domain and to a wordpress platform and cos of that i want to use the bbpress forums to integrate the whole site.
I read a couple of tutorial on the net. The initial idea was to go from icyphoenix to phpbb 2, then to bbpress.
In theory it sounded good but i ran into a couple of problems. For starters i wasnt able to convert succesfully from Icy Phoenix to phpbb2. The other problem i saw is that somewhere in the tables from the forums the domain remains .com.ar. So when i try to run it in the .com domain its keeps linking me to the old urls.
So the questions would be…
-Theres an easier way? like getting into the tables and doing it all manually?
-There is some reliable script around i can use?
-How to solve the problem with the different urls?
@tooltrainer – I don’t understand the question. It sounds like an elaborate way of asking “How do I mark topics as sticky?” If what you’re asking is how to highlight a specific post in a different way other than sticky, the only way in core is by the specific ID of that topic or reply, without writing your own code to put something else in there.
@christopher-jon – Anonymous posts are still working for me? Edit lock time fixed here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3134/
This is all possible to do using the soon to be released plugin version of bbPress, which first requires an installation of WordPress to work within. Check the sticky topic in these forums for more info.

I am hoping to create a very basic single forum forum. My goal is to set it up so
http://www.mydomain.com/discussions
is a paginated list of the different topics. I know because of WordPress’s fear that when using custom post types someone might create a post named “page” that would interfere with the paginated pages, so we have to add an additional slug, so I wouldn’t mind setting up
http://www.mydomain.com/discussions/topic/the-topic-title
But, a URL this simple isn’t possible out of the box. Is there a possible way of doing this without having to “hack the core.”
I was also curious if it is possible for tags to show up in searches, or to create a list or drop down menu or if nothing else one of those “clouds.” I don’t see what point they serve now other than just appearing next to topics once you have already found it.
I am moving my forum over from a Drupal 6 install to a WordPress 3 install.
Taking a look at this thread, it seems as if the bbpress plug-in is still being tested? Would you recommend this plug-in for a production site yet?
Sounds good.
I’ve found working with the plugin to be pretty easy. Beneath all of the code, it’s still wordpress at heart.
The next thing I want to try out is modifying the single topic loop to display certain topics with a different style, something similar to a featured post on a blog.
This is where the meta box was needed, adding a check box to notify the loop to use a different style for those topics.
The default theme has something similar already in place with the first topic posting having slightly larger text than the replies. An additional conditional check should do the trick.

@JJJ – that’s okay. The shortcode was to be used so that I could create a list of new forum topics that displays the following:
[Topic Title] Posted in [name of forum] on [topic date] by [topic author]
unless the bbPress topics/replies list can be modified to display the above info. I’m currently using the Query Posts plugins to do this as it allows me to display the page the topic is on etc, and when i used [entry-author], it displays the wordpress user (author/name), not the bbpress user (user/name).
@whitehats – You should never, ever, modify any core files. The WordPress actions/filters system is in place to let you inject code and modify existing values as needed. Anywhere you feel the need to hack the core, there should be another way.
The only times when hacking core files makes sense are specifically when fixing a bug in the software or when creating new features to be inserted into core.

“Did you have to call any additional function to add meta boxes? Have you tried that yet?”
Nope. Using the default wordpress code should work. Just remember to set the correct page type (forum/topic) or you wont see it.
Here is part of my code so you can see where I changed the page type to the “topic” custom post type.
$meta_boxes[] = array(
‘id’ => ‘forum_options’,
‘title’ => ‘Forum Options’,
‘pages’ => array(‘topic’),
‘context’ => ‘side’,
‘priority’ => ‘core’,

The plugin is looking fantastic and so far no issues.
Is there a shortcode to display the author name of the topic. I have tried everything but cannot display the name. Ive managed to display the WordPress username (author/name) but not the bbPress username (user/name) as they both display two different pages.
Thank you for all the hard work to everything working on this plugin.
Hello,
I set up bbpress on http://russianextreme.tv/forums/ with wordpress integration,
I am try to access http://russianextreme.tv/forums/bb-admin and http://russianextreme.tv/bb-admin where else or how can I determine what admin URL is required?
Also, when I set up Russia, the language files went into /bb-languages not my-languages, should I make the same for the plugin directory? bb-plugins instead of my-plugins like the documentation says?
Thanks,
David
Note topic. While it may be misconfiguration on my side, and I think it is, it is very bad think.
I have portal based on WordPress and bbpress. New users on WP are registered as subscribents and for bbPress I have userDB integration (author, contributor and subscribent are translated to member). And while I can send PMs from/to key masters (made several test accounts), for “normal” users messages aren’t available.
So what I should do about that?
I have been working day and night to get my WordPress and bbpress sites integrated. I stubled upon a guide to integrate, and it seems to have worked. I can’t really tell because of an error screen I get when I go to my site.
Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::add_query_var() in /home6/kaebinco/public_html/251st/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 318
I did not edit this file over the course of the integration, have no clue what it does, what the error means, or how to fix it. I’m hoping one of you guys can shed some light on the situation. Here’s a link to the guide I mentioned.
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101
I can’t log in to by bbpress and my wordpress site is a blank screen with the error. I am using Worpress 2.7.1 and bbpress 1.0.3.
1. No. 
The stand-alone 1.x branch of code will still be actiely maintained as needed, and is still a great piece of software. The plugin version will (most likely) get inflated to 2.0 to give us something better to refer to it as. A new generation of bbPress doesn’t change the spirit of the project, just the ease of integration with WordPress.
2. If you deactivate the plugin, your forums will essentially be deactivated too. A dedicated maintenance mode sounds like a good idea for a plugin though.
3. I’ll take a look at this. Noticed it myself a few days ago, so it’s on the radar.
The bbPress plugin for WordPress isn’t showing up on search results because there just isn’t a lot of buzz about it yet. That will (hopefully) change after it’s released into the plugins repo and is available to a larger audience.
Thought I’d update the fun.
Made a couple of custom loops to grab the forums and topics. Plain ‘ol wordpress custom queries, nothing new or special and added support for post thumbnails.
Working like a charm.
With the queries I’m able to list forums or topics anywhere on the blog and the thumbnails just add in some extra coolness, similar to how buddypress uses images for groups but I’ve extended it so any forum or topic can have it’s own thumbnail using default wordpress features.
Now, I need to remember how to write a filter so I can modify the custom post types through the theme functions and not mess with the core plugin code.
