I have a password protected directory on a sub domain. wordpress is the only thing installed on it. I want the forums to fall under the same password protection so that my members don’t need to use 2 logins to use what *should* be a functional part of the site their used to. so I tried uploading it into a directory called bbpress on that sub domain with wordpress installed.
I guess my post was a little confusing, but trust me, so is my server set up

I just joined the forums to be able to ask about my failed install, but I think I see your problem having just gone through the install myself (albeit unsuccessfully).
You say you uploaded the files to your wordpress directory.
You’re not supposed to.
If your site is example.com and you want bbpress to live at example.com/forums/ then use your ftp program to create a directory called forums in your root directory (ie at the *same level* or alongside your wordpress directory, not *in* it), and copy all of the bbpress files into that directory.
Then in your browser visit example.com/forums/ and an installation wizard should start up (not that it does for me).

I’m pretty sure the old plugin still works. With the upcoming bbPress plugin version, emoticons will be handled by WordPress.

I am experiencing the same issue. Everything was integrated just fine until I assigned roles in the bbPress backend and added wp_ as the table prefix, now I can’t login.

Hello
I’m trying to fit my Superbold bbpres style to my modified Twenty10 WordPress style. Basically I would like to copy the navigation bar of the Twentyten to the bbpress forum. Any idea on how to do that?
My wordpress http://krusty.dk/
My forum http://krusty.dk/forum/
Any help is greatly appreciated

I’m waiting for an alpha release with auto-update in WordPress… is there any estimated date? Thank you very much for your work.
@RoyalManG – you need to change line 7 in avatar-upload.php to bb_auth(‘logged_in’); // logged in?
I’ve having a bit of a problem with this Avatar Upload plugin when uploading files larger than the specified dimensions. If I do so bbPress just displays a blank page with this address: http://<forumdomain>/bbforum/profile/<user>/avatar
Has anyone come across this before and can help?
WOW! Too many later hours. It was a silly mistake on my part.
For some reason, even though I had selected to integrate the WP and BB databases, I was using BB database credentials as the connection and not the WP database.
No wonder it kept telling me it could not find the WP user table.
Something so simple was driving me crazy. I knew I knew how to do this because I have done it several time.
Oh well, maybe by my mistake someone else can find their solution.

By the way, I am integrating WordPress 3.05 and bbPress 1.02.
The problem is with the database prefix of wp_
Even though that is the correct user database prefix, it just doesn’t work.
All the key and salts are correct.
I have not had this problem before and am curious if anyone else is experiencing this problem.
I am really running out of things to try.
Thanks.

PHPbb is driving me nuts.
Does bbpress allow multiple installs, to share one user table. Without corrupting and resetting forum permissions?

thanks zaerl! For everyone else here this is what I found as an alternative until there is update or workaround for bbpress:
Vanilla Forums
tal.ki Forums
they have free versions but its mostly a paid service.

Hi,
I am sure this has been asked but I must not be typing the right search phrase because I can not find the solution.
I have successfully integrated a few WordPress/bbPress installations but am having an issue with the latest one I am setting up for a client.
WordPress is successfully installed.
The latest download of bbPress has been installed and uploaded to the server.
The WordPress bbPress integration plugin has been installed.
The appropriate define cookiepath and cookiedomain settings have been added to the wp-config.php
When starting the bbPress installation and configuration, I keep getting…
…problem connecting to the WordPress user database.
I know the auth keys and all the other keys are correct as well as the database prefix of wp_.
I am missing something?
Thanks,
Bert
Can you install bbpress on a WordPress 3.0 multisite and have a single forum that powers all websites in the network?
No. You have to install multiple forums.

What happens if I want to integrate my bbpress with a wordpress installation that already has a user with the same username as my bbpress installation’s key master?
Since my user tables are in a separate databases I configured user role mapping in the admin panel. I also configured the advanced db settings for user integration by specifying wp_ as the prefix and 1 as the blog id. However, after doing that I cannot login to my bbpress anymore using the key master account or any other account.
In doing so the content created on “Blog A” would also show on “Blog B”?
