Okay, looks like I figured out the issue.

Nothing at all like I thought.

I followed a few things from this guide: http://wpbbpthemes.org/integration/

I used the WordPress MU settings rather than the standard WordPress settings in the BB_config & WP_config files both.

So basically I added to the beginning of each of those:

define( ‘COOKIEHASH’, ‘4ec2be76cfe2b6c707014602c3cc078f’ );

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

instead of just:

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

Then I verified that ALL 8 of the define lines from the WP_config file, both the Key & the Salt were in the BB_config file (for some reason only had 4 of them, the Key files and no Salt files).

Problem Solved.

Meant to say I tried adding the php flags to the .htaccess file by the way.

Someone might be able to correct me if I’m wrong, but maybe this has something to do with php flags not working in .htaccess when phpSuExec is enabled? Not sure.

Hello, I’m brand new to both WordPress & bbPress, but successfully managed to follow all instructions for integration. Everything seems to have worked quite well, with 1 exception. When I access the dashboard panel on either WordPress or bbPress, it logs me out of the other.

I can navigate the blog on WordPress, leave comments, etc., and vice versa on bbPress, without having to log back in to either; it only occurs when I access the Dashboard panels.

I suppose if I have to, I can live with this, as its just a nuisance, but would love to fix it if possible.

I am not that good at php yet, just learning as I go. Pretty sure I got all the cookie integration correct. I found a couple of posts on here suggesting things like:

‘AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4′

When I first tried the above, it seemed to have solved the issue, only it broke other links on the site (this caused downloads to occur rather than links).

Using WordPress 3.0.1 & bbPress 1.0.2.

My Host provider is JustHost & server has php 5 with phpSuExec enabled.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

OK I am going round in circles trying to get bbpress installed;

I have done a fresh unzip to a new directory, as a sub-directory of WordPress…

If I then open the url mysite.com/forums (i renamed bbpress folder to forums) I get a cannot connect to database error…

So I then go bb-config-sample.php file and rename it to bb-config.php and enter my database details and then go back to mysite.com/forums URL and either get

“Oh dear! bbPress is already installed.”

Or I get a prompt for database details which leads me to a login page with “User does not exist.” error…

Is there a way to create a user somehow? I cannot login as there’s no existing user…

I am going round in circles and nothing seems to work…

I have tried many different variations, I had it working once but since then (deleted all files) I cannot get it going again…

Any ideas?

Hello, trying to get bbpress 1.0.2 working with wordpress 3.0.3. It appears to install OK and can read the wp user table – I can log in to bbpress with wordpress accounts. The wp user I designate as the keymaster can use the Admin link on bbpress. However when I try to use the admin feature something seems broken – I get a page with unstyled text showing some statistics, and all I can do is change the theme. (screenshot here: http://yfrog.com/mkbbpressadminerrorp ) Shouldn’t I be able to create new forums or do other admin stuff from here?

Hello,

fel, I have recently installed fresh new wordpress and bbpress on my web site. I am still running into the problem of posts not being created unless default forum is filled in on the options screen. However, I can’t override this by using a different forum number on the write a post page. Any idea what the hangup is there?

Thanks

@ topic starter this is a known issue for a long time..

You can’t do anything against it. (maybe do a new integration) but don’t do anything without backing up..

Try this:

Go back to your WordPress site Log-out > move back to the forum page and log-in on the bbPress site as the admin than you see you can go to the bbPress back-end..

Now you also can go to the WordPress site and jump to the WordPress back-end.

So my advice would be try to delete the WordPress log-in section from your WordPress site and try to include the bbPress log-in section into the WordPress section else you will keep this issue.

(i have the same issue)

Literally go to your WordPress permalinks page and click save.

Yes, many times.

You don’t need deep integration for sharing user tables.

You can share them by defining something like this in wp-config.php file

define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE','new_user_table');

define('CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE', 'new_usermeta_table');

But I would suggest copying over the users in WordPress side and then telling bbPress to use WordPress tables.

Deleting the cookies will delete the current session information from the browser which is exactly done by logout. So I don’t think this is a valid solution. The wordpress application should do this by itself when user presses logout.

Any updates on this #

# shoggy ?

I have something simlar for my wordpress but this one you aded here does not work for bbpress

do I need to add more rules?

[pagal]

Yep, You need to integrate your forums with WordPress deeply, where you can set bbPress users table with WordPress users table during bbPress Integration.

After setting up cookies process, allow just registered members to comment on your blog.

For more help see this documentation.

Plus, I can personally help you to integrate forums.

Yep. I’ve got the integration plugin running on the WordPress side (if it’s the one called “BBPress Admin”). When I click on it in the WordPress admin panel, I get a sub-window that should be the bbpress admin panel. Instead, it’s just showing my blog (which I think it’s picking up as a default.) Thanks for the suggestion though…

And if you want to display more stuff then you can do so by directly querying the bbPress database.

Make sure you have the integration plugin running on the WordPress side
