But will the bbpress plugin work out-of-box, without customization, with P2?

It’s only code, so anything is possible.

I’m having a slightly different problem. When logging in to WordPress then going over to the bb_press area, the login status transfers (I get recognised as an admin), but the admin link wont work – it just leaves me on my bb_press front page? If I log out then log in on the bb_press login I get to my admin panel just fine :-s

Have I messed something up? Pretty sure the salts etc. are all ok – it wouldn’t recognise my admin status otherwise surely?

Edit: not just the link btw, directly going to admin url just bounces back to front page.

Does anyone know if the new bbPress plugin for WordPress will be able to us the P2 WordPress theme?

http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/p2/

Before anyone quickly answers, please note that P2 is a radically different theme for WordPress that essentially turn WordPress into a micro-blog (e.g. Twitter).

It’s also worthwhile to note that Auttomatic (creators of WP) created this theme themselves.

I added the “define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );” line in wp-config.php and now it will log me off admin account if i log off via WordPress only. That’s it though.

From my hours of searching, attempting to repair things I’ve got it nailed down to being a cookie problem, and it seems to be a wordpress thing.

so if user databases are working fine between the two, is it safe to say the problem resides with the cookies and the login keys. Considering I didn’t see anything in the admin/config.php about them in the php. All these guides say to look there for them, but they simply aren’t there (in 3.1 of WordPress anyways). Has anyone here done the 3.1 install and successfully gotten full integration between the two (only 1 login on either or will work)?

I may have put too much detail in the post above. Basically, users made on either wordpress/ bbpress port over to each just fine. It’s just that you have to individually logon in BOTH WordPress and BBpress. The login status doesn’t port over. Seems like the last thing I need to fix. The errors and message I put in my previous post still applies, I haven’t done anything more yet. Afraid I might mess up so close to being done.

Followed step by step successfully and integrated bbpress with only a few problems, these were the few errors on install:

>>> WordPress “auth” cookie salt not set.

>>>>>> Could not fetch “auth” cookie salt from the WordPress options table.

>>>>>> You will need to manually define the “auth” cookie salt in your database.

>>> WordPress “logged in” cookie salt not set.

>>>>>> Could not fetch “logged in” cookie salt from the WordPress options table.

>>>>>> You will need to manually define the “logged in” cookie salt in your database.

It did however port over my users to bbpress and I can login my admin account on bbpress, but my login doesn’t port over to the wordpress site. I went to bbpress admin –> wordpress integration, and it asks for the following:

This must match the value of the WordPress setting named “auth_salt” in your WordPress site. Look for the option labeled “auth_salt” in this WordPress admin page.

This must match the value of the WordPress setting named “logged_in_salt” in your WordPress site. Look for the option labeled “logged_in_salt” in this WordPress admin page.

The problem is I don’t have or see these values on the WordPress admin page (http://thesourcegaming.com/wp-admin/options.php). I tried pasting the key values for these found in wp-config.php, but it didnt work. Do I have to do the “bbPress Integration” plugin for WordPress first before this step will work? Do I have to make sure the key values in both bb-config.php and wp-config.php files are the same first before it will work?

Please help, I feel like I am on my last leg of finishing this, and a success would mean a lot after so many hours at it and trying.

Thanks!

Hi guys, I have two questions (I think the first one is a bug).

1. When I start a topic from the admin panel it doesn’t appear in the forums (and it doesn’t have voice). (I’m using WordPress 3.1 and bbPress 1.1 Alpha 2 downloaded from the link provided in this forum). Is this a normal behaviour? (Topics only appear in forums when I create them in the Create Topic page).

2. Sorry if I didn’t see the post, you guys are doing an awesome job. When is the stable version of the plugin being released?

Thanks in advance (I will be happy to report any bugs).

I am having extreme trouble integrating my wordpress (v3.1):

http://www.thesourcegaming.com

with my bbpress which is at http://www.thesourcegaming/forums.

When i go to settings –> word press integration –> I have a problem at:

This must match the value of the WordPress setting named “auth_salt” in your WordPress site. Look for the option labeled “auth_salt” in this WordPress admin page.

This must match the value of the WordPress setting named “secure_auth_salt” in your WordPress site. Look for the option labeled “secure_auth_salt” in this WordPress admin page. Sometimes this value is not set in WordPress, in that case you can leave this setting blank as well.

This must match the value of the WordPress setting named “logged_in_salt” in your WordPress site. Look for the option labeled “logged_in_salt” in this WordPress admin page.

The problem is I don’t see these option on my WordPress Admin page. Auth_salt, secure_aurth_salt, and logged_in_salt don’t exist on the page, I’ve looked 10000000 times.

I got the plugin and added “define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );” to my wp-config.php

And lastly can anyone explain what exactly what this part means?:

You will also have to manually ensure that the following constants are equivalent in WordPress’ and bbPress’ respective config files.

WordPress bbPress

AUTH_KEY <=> BB_AUTH_KEY

SECURE_AUTH_KEY <=> BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY

LOGGED_IN_KEY <=> BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY

Any help is appreciate. I’m getting really frustrated trying to find what I can via google/ here.

I have been building a website using WordPress and BuddyPress and have created my own custom theme that has BOTH WordPress and BuddyPress template files. I’m looking into using the bbPress plugin to build a forum but I’m rather confused about the theming system in the plugin.

I have looked at copying the theme files from the templates in the plugin and I have two questions:

1.) If I put them inside a /forums/ folder inside my theme would bbPress see the files?

2.) What happens regarding the BuddyPress Forums system? I have read the blog post over on their website but I don’t fully understand what is happening regarding bridging these two plugins as in BuddyPress there is ALSO a /forums/ folder for the template files so would conflict with the bbPress plugin files if I have them in my theme.

Thanks

no they are different. v1 is a standalone version and plugin branch is a WordPress plugin. It is a rewrite of the forum so they both are totally different.

integrating bbPress with WordPress is not much of a big deal, quite easy! You can read related things here – http://blog.ashfame.com/bbpress
