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

BBLD works fine in WordPress. Please note, its a WordPress plugin and not a bbPress plugin

Put these two lines in bb-config.php (located in bbPress root) to make bbPress use WordPress user tables.
$bb->custom_user_table = 'wp_users';
$bb->custom_user_meta_table = 'wp_usermeta';
And similarly you can make bbPress to use another bbPress user tables.
$bb->custom_user_table = 'bb_users';
$bb->custom_user_meta_table = 'bb_usermeta';
All installations should be in the same database for this to work

A created a Ticket here regarding a fatal error in the plugin but it seems that it’s not visible in the list…
So I would like to post it here again:
After installing the plugin an fatal error occurs, I think that it’s a conflict between bbPress and WP_Query.
The full error is: Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in C:xampphtdocswordpress10wp-includesquery.php on line 27
I use something like this:
$args=array(
‘cat’ => $wpimpress_cat->cat_ID,
‘posts_per_page’ => 1
);
$temp = $wp_query;
$wp_query = null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( have_posts() ) :
while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();
//loop here!!!
endwhile;
endif;
$wp_query = $temp;
wp_reset_query();
Please check this, and make the plugin to work!
I am not completely familiar with bbPress yet, I understand that the cookie information has to match in each admin section. Where is it that you have to tell a secondary install, to use the primary installs user information.
Is that done in the Admin modules for WordPress integration, or is there a config file where you can point the secondary install look-ups/selects to the primary install?

The only thing not possible with bbPress is to run multiple forums from a single setup (something like Network or Multisite feature of WordPress).
For all other questions asked above, it can be done.

From what I understand, bbPress does allow you to share a single user table, as well as login cookies, between multiple sites. I’m not sure if you can have one forum shared among several sites, though. I’m basing that on info that’s nearly a year old, though, so it’d be nice to have someone give some up-to-date info on how this might be done.

I have just installed the newest version of bbPress to test out. I’ve installed it as a subdomain under the main domain (WordPress). I want to use bbPress as a stand alone forum…not integrated with WordPress
The default theme does not work and in the appearance panel neither of the two default themes show their screenshots. I’ve checked and rechecked my folder & file permissions which are set to 755. I created a my-templates folder and moved a copy of kakumei to this folder from bb-templates. I’ve checked the permissions on these files, 755, and switched to the new theme/location with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
I’m not pro at this but include your css file for your wordpress site on your forum site, then you just copy the code for you bar and paste it into the forum header.
