I have tried integration between WordPress 3.0.1 and bbPress 1.0.2 and needless to say, everything went well except this:

If I log into WordPress, I’m not automatically logged into bbPress, I would have to log in separately.

Now, conversely, if I log into bbPress first, I’m not automatically logged into WordPress, but if I try to log into WordPress without logging out of bbPress, it won’t let me go in. The screen would still be the login screen… can anyone explain how to fix this?

I’m pretty sure it’s a problem regarding the cookies.

I also have the bbPress installed on a subdomain separate from the main domain where WordPress is hosted, I’ve done all the integration instructions mentioned by bbPress.org and also downloaded the integration Plugin for WordPress.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank You

P.S. If anyone knows the solution, would you also be able to know if if a similar problem would arise trying to integrate with BuddyPress as well? Thanks

I already know from my own benchmarks that 0.9 in many cases is 50% faster than 1.x, if only because it loads 50% less code, not to mention fewer queries out of the box.

But as nice of an ideas as it is, your benchmark really cannot compare apples to apples.

ALL the other forums you have listed already use a page cache, in part or whole, which is why they have such high numbers.

What your benchmark should do is attempt to DEFEAT any page caching the forum is doing by generating new posts BEFORE every page load.

ie. POST / READ / POST / READ / POST / READ / POST / READ

The next version of bbPress will very much need a page cache just like most buddypress sites desperately need as they are very sluggish (because of the WordPress core).

A few people have successfully deep integrated bbpress with wordpress and then used an exisiting wordpress page cache. That would give similar numbers to what you have posted for other forums.

actually i just integrated the forum to the old wordpress blog and it is back to normal. i guess i do want the old user table to be used for my new blog… can you point me in the direction of instructions on how to do that?

what happens to the new blogs user table?

[root@0xd.pl]

tuluto, try logging out of WordPress and logging in through bbPress. Did it help?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

You should have just linked the tables.

Are you saying that your original WP table is messed up?

If you have a backup, just restore that particular table and link the tables.

Linking tables mean telling the new WordPress to use a different user table.

[garyditsch]

I have a wordpress blog that integrates with bbpress well. I would like to integrate the bbpress with a different wordpress blog. The problem I had is that when I created the users in the new blog (I did manually b/c it seemed easiest with 40members) and then completed the integration it messed all the old forum posts up.

I assume that there is an identifier or id number in the user table that is used that got changed when I manually created the new user accounts?

How can I go about making this new blog integrate without losing the user to post relationship?

You mean when bbPress becomes a WordPress plugin? I don’t think there will be themes for bbPress at that point. More likely you would use a WordPress theme and could use a custom page template for forum pages, if you wanted.

But honestly, no one knows at this point. My feeling is that a lot of the overlapping functionality will be removed from bbPress once it becomes a WordPress plugin. No need for integration because you will already have access to WordPress functions. No need for themes because you will have access to all the WordPress theme functionality.

have you tried adding “bb-admin” to the end of your bbpress forum url? It might be that you’re using a custom bbpress theme that hasn’t got that option enabled on the theme.

try adding “bb-admin” and see if your wordpress login works.

I thought I was doing great getting both the blog and the forum up today. However, I just can’t figure out how to add a link from my BBPress forum page to my WordPress Blog. I just want an easy way to go from forum to blog…

I’m a real newbie at this so please explain in great detail if it is complicated!

Thanks…

Is it integrated with this WP blog?

If something isn’t correct in the WP integration settings, you are logged in bbPress if you are logged in WP, but a click on the “Admin” link on your forums (“Admin” in English, don’t know any word Chinese) will send you back to the forum’s front page.

A typical symptom of that problem is: After you clicked the link “Log Out” and made a new login in bbPress (not in WordPress), you can access the bbPress dashboard.

2 things:

1) I am still using 0.9.0.5 because when I try to upgrade to the later versions and log back into my site (www.mocog.com) it says the username does not exist, even admin. I have cleared the cookies in my browser and still have the issue.

2) I believe the trouble started when I tried to do a wordpress integration about 9 months ago, so I am a little fuzzy on what all I did. I was confused as the tutorials are written to integrate bbpress into wordpress. Problem is I already have databases in bbpress that I don’t want to lose. I had created a sub-directory called blog. When I go to http://www.mocog.com/blog it shows my forum. I am thinking I did something wrong there.

Perfect world I would like to have the forum integrated into the blog (that doesn’t yet exist), can I do this??

[usera]

I decided to delete my admin name in an integrated 3.01 wordpress with bbpress 1.02 and associated all links/posts to a new admin. I obviously did forget about my rarely used bbpress and now I cannot enter the admin login for bbpress.

Can someone tell me how to fix it? My wp_usermeta for wp_capabilities is:

a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;} and

wp_usermeta for bb_capabilities is:

a:1:{s:6:”member”;b:1;}

I tried changing to “s:9:”keymaster”” for both but didn’t do anything. Any one have suggestion? Thank you.

Joel Spolsky has released StackOverflow to replace the current WordPress forums (powered by bbPress)

I’m also frustrated with the slow pace of work on bbPress, but “replace” what? The Stack Overflow folks have simply launched their own WordPress support (questions and answers) site, using their own technology platform, Stack Exchange. How does that “replace the current WordPress forums”?

FWIT, I run a WordPress support site using PHPBB3!

[donnasdream]

Hi,

I am building a forum (http://donnasdream.co.uk/forum) to co-exist with my existing wordpress blog (http://donnasdream.co.uk).

I have tried to install BB-Mobile and followed the instructions to the letter however i cannot get it to work. I am using version 1.0.2 of BB-Press and the latest version i can find of BB-Mobile.

As my work for the website involves me travelling around quite alot i really need to be able to access a mobile version of the forum like i can for the main site so i can quickly reply to posts etc (http://donnasdream.co.uk should show a mobile site on most touch screen phones).

Does anyoneknow anything i can do to get this working, even if its a crude work-around (the mobile site is more for me to use as i dont think the majority of the visitors to the site will use it).

Many thanks in advance

1. Spammers – use Human Test to prevent them from registering the first time around. I can’t recommend Akismet because of the false positives and the fact that it doesn’t block all spammers.

2. Translation – not sure what to tell you. Translation takes time.

3. What needs to be managed with search engine traffic? If you have an XML sitemap, the search engines will follow it. If not, they follow links, unless you don’t want them to.

4. I don’t recommend anything other than bbPress, but only because I have never used anything else. The versions available now are standalone and in the future bbPress will be a WordPress plugin.

WordPress, then bbPress in a sub folder.

[Raize]

Vanilla 2 is here (http://vanillaforums.org) and they are working on a full integration with WordPress.

Even Matt M. is supporting it. Start packing your bags

[VirtualityStudio]

For anybody else out there that is having this problem, this worked for me:

http://www.wpwebhost.com/make-bbpress-theme-match-with-wordpress-by-deep-integration/

still needs some tweaking, but overall… total match!!!! yay!

[johnjos]

Thanks chris. i will try that, i seriously hope it works.

I have a WordPress website and want to add a forum (message board). If I wanted to use bbPress do I setup a bbPress forum first and then integrate it into WordPress or can I install bbPress in WordPress and then set up the forum?

[chrishajer]

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/configphp

[chrishajer]

You need to temporarily rename that config.php file to something else to allow the installer to continue, then change the name back. Or find the code that prevents bbPress from installing when it finds a config.php, and disable that so the installation can continue. I would just rename the file for a minute or two while you install bbPress, then change it back.

[johnjos]

I want to add a forum to this site and as i run the installer i get this message “An old config.php file has been detected in your installation. You should remove it and run the installer again. You can use the same database connection details if you do.”

BBpress has been added in the forum folder in the root where the config.php file for the existing site to which i want to add a forum for. e.g mysite.com/forum(bbpress). It is asking me to remove the config file and if i remove the config file than the site won’t work. Has anyone got any suggestions, i have read through that some people managed to install bbpress with existing non-wordpress sites.

thanks in advance.
