I installed bbpress integrated to my wordpress site on a subdomain, the problem I have is the following.

The forum is working in the following way

http://subdomain.mydomain.com/forums

what I want is to make it work like this

http://subdomain.mydomain.com/

What do I need to do for the above, I am a newbie so please excuse my ignorance if it is a quick fix.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry Robo, i know it’s confusing, apologies if i wasn’t clear. You’re not using bbPress.

bbPress is a standalone forum that can integrate logins/users with WordPress. It sits in its own folder.

You’re installing the bbpress plugin for buddypress which is a plugin for wordpress. (yes, it’s a nightmare that they have the same name)

“http://lostinsound.org/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/”

If you’re in “wp-content/plugins” in any way shape or form, we can’t really help on this forum. I know it’s confusing because someone at autoMATTic decided to keep the same name for a totally serarate project, but thats where we are.

Anyway, the Buddypress folks are top notch, and they’ll sort you out v quickly

here is the exact error message

>>> WordPress cookie keys not set.

>>>>>> Your “bb-config.php” file was not writable.

>>>>>> You will need to manually re-define “BB_AUTH_KEY”, “BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY” and “BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY” in your “bb-config.php” file.

Forum could not be created!

So I’m suspecting the zaerl plug-in as the cause.

Absolutely not. My plugin doesn’t change roles, doesn’t change permissions neither it attempts whatever action that invole writing of data nor it install nasty things on any of the bbPress tables. It just read and write a single bb_meta value in which there are packed all the visibility rules. Nothing more.

Keep in mind that a user that hasn’t posted anything is actually inactive and become active only when he will post something. Also double-check that role-mapping on /forum/bb-admin/options-wordpress.php.

Just use the gravatar service http://www.gravatar.com

bbPress and WordPress has integrated gravatar support. No need for an additional plugin.

[maxbmx]

all right! I found this:

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-load.php’);

insert into

bb-config.php file and than bbpress has access to wp functions (for exemple for widgets)

How to add sidebar from wordpress to my bbpress?

[thomasfals]

Could it have anything to do with my wordpress install being at http://larm:8888 and the forum at http://forum.larm:8888 ?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

I had this issue (with single user however) and it turned out I was missing the WordPress plugin for bbPress integration.

[chrishajer]

Log out of WordPress and then access bbPress and log in there. You might also have to clear your cookies.

Okay,

WordPress is to big, i can’t see where i’m searching..

What i’m looking for is a plugin that adds Avatars to my WordPress site and bbPress site/forum.

I have deep Integration so it would be cool if the avatars would match or sync together.

If some member post a comment on the homepage in a blog-section it would be cool if he has the same avatar that he is using inside the forum.

Only thing is,

– I don’t want anybody to upload files.

It would be nice if they could use an external url (http://www.domain.com/folder/image1.jpg) to include there avatars.

Is it possible because i was looking at the WordPress site and i can’t get the search function working.

If i search for avatar there is a very big list of plugins but if i want to list them down by rated or most download then it deletes my “avatar” search word. and i get plugins like, contact form 7 and Google SEO on top of the list as a result.

[simple_gpr]

To add to the list of potential solutions to the Fatal errors for require_once people are encountering whilst completing deep integration of BBpress into WordPress.

If in your error log something similar to this:

PHP Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/var/www/vhost<domain>/httpdocs/wp-load.php’ (include_path=’.:’) in /var/www/vhost/<domain>/forum/httpdocs/bb-config.php on line

16

and you have tried using absolute paths instead of relative paths and the other various solutions people have suggested don’t work. Then you will need to change your php.ini file and add the directory for your wordpress installation to the open_basedir variable.

i.e. open_basedir = /var/www/vhost/<domain>/httpdocs

The other option is to turn off open_basedir altogether.

If you are on a sharedhost and do not have access to php.ini your webhost will have a vhost.conf or similar file which will allow you to send directives to Apache for your particular domain. In this case you will need to have this within your vhost.conf file.

<Directory “/var/www/vhosts/<domain>/forum/httpdocs”>

php_admin_value open_basedir “/var/www/vhosts/<domain>/httpdocs:/tmp”

php_admin_value include_path “.:”

</Directory>

I hope this helps those having issues with deep integration whitepages / require_once fatal errors and saves people some time.

@Josh – Thanks for posting this. Massively useful, I was unaware of a the conversion script.

@Sincever – I think the script will convert the SMF/phpBB users to bbPress users. You could then move all the tables into a single database, but that in itself wouldn’t change which table bbPress uses for users. This answers your question, but if you’re referring more to WordPress users vs bbPress users and reconciling that, I can’t comment as I’ve not tried the integration before.

[thomasfals]

Let me just add that it is the shared login that does not work. The deep integration is working and I am using the wordpress menu inside the bbpress theme without any problems.

[thomasfals]

Hi Kevin

Thanks for the tip. However, I have already followed the guide once and I just did it again to double check.

All keys match in both config files. The bb press once has BB_ added in front of the key names. The cookie paths has been set, users mapped, and even the wp-load.php has been set. Keys are correct as they appear locked in the “wordpress integration” section of bbpress – also the table_prefix is set to wp_ as it should. Basically I think everything has been set up as it should.

I am testing this using mamp pro and the bbpress folder is inside the wordpress folder. I am beginning to think it has something to do with my setup. I have been trying to figure it out for days now.

[korti]

@pagal Thanks, I will certainly try out the plug ins.

@kevinjohngallagher I’m not going to argue with you, not enough time unless I turn on my dragon… akismet works spectacular on wordpress and needs some love on bbpress. If I was a programmer i would be on it. I only need this to work on one site.

yes, for real I have a lot of sites (stopped counting at 70) and you will always find me here at my pc. I have made a living on the internet since 1997. Friends at Google, seo professional and just learning the css stuff loving wordpress.

I love bbpress and do not use any captcha for anything but my email forms, and the people who are not using it are are not getting a lot of traffic. if I didnt have captcha on my sites for email forms it would be game over. I get maybe 1-2 human spams a week if that. And my sales are going up up and up.

BBpress was hard enough to learn how to install it and then get all the spam.

and ya know I may have something goofed up in one of my files causing askimet to not work. I have two forums going and one gets only 3 spams a day the other gets 20. Then again the one that gets 20 I think was just indexed and has a lot of content.

the other was just a test site. I will reinstall and see what happens.

I just wont be able to handle it with one site that it is in the top 5 for many major keywords and we get 50 questions(emails) a day. I know the forum would be a smash instantly as they are using the feed back comments like mad.

I will try a few thing s and see what works. This site makes me way to much money to have it not work. I am still debating on moving it over to wordpress.

Lots of pros and cons to everything these days! Anyways, I have been dong this a long long time, so far my system is definitely working for me. I just have one small hurdle. If I did only have one or two sites it would be a piece of cake. As a SEO professional, I’m like a kid in a candy store. And every day I find an easier way and that is what is all about. That and to learn from one another.

meanwhile imagine bbpress with no forum… and they just got emails all day asking how to do this or how to do that…. that is where I am at.

so all in all i guess it depends on what you are doing on the net and how you are making your money..

captcha has never slowed me down but I type extremely fast to. I forget about the two finger typers.

I can say this, one time I forgot to put a captcha code on one website and wow what a mess 500 spams a day! I have also used every site builder under the sun and they all recommend it. To me it is like a seat belt law, you hate to put it on, but you know it is for the smart thing to do.

Thanks again sorry for typos, sleepy! 240 am here in Texas.

[Erlend]

Thanks for that. It’s a nice way to know they’re active, but that’s about it. What I’m really looking for is a way to realize:

“aha, they’re designing those features right now, so maybe I could help by making these suggestions and illustrating these example/past/future use cases related to those features.”

But hey, small as it may be, this is a start:

[notApro]

Hi..

I was wondering..

When i’am ready with my WordPress/bbPress designs. what will happen when i change my language to Dutch in the wp-config.php en bb-config.php files?

Will my entire site be in Dutch language and what will happen to my plugins?

If a plugin doesn’t support Dutch language, will it crash or just work in English?

[Erlend]

Quite nice, and I especially like seeing the forum getting all comfortable-like in the admin panel

Not sure about the strongest green though. Might I suggest an ‘avocado’ theme? Here are some examples:

http://kuler.adobe.com/#themes/search?term=avocado

There’s one there quite similar to what you’ve already got:

http://kuler.adobe.com/#themeID/300652

(looks like a spam-tag snuck in. check the slimex one)

[Erlend]

So a couple weeks back now there was a small rush of activity with concerns to various “what now”s when bbPress-as-plugin was made official. It’s been two weeks since there was any activity on bbdevel.wordpress.com, same goes for developer meetups and blog updates.

When will the community get to participate in the future of bbPress?

I know I could easily be throwing in feature requests at will, but it would be a lot easier to make relevant suggestions and inquiries if I knew what was going on in terms of design and code right now.

[kevinjohngallagher]

I’ve now asked about these in two other bbPress forums (subsections of WP forums)

I’d not waste my time there. The WP.org forums are really great for WordPress stuff (if you now the right terminology), but quite useless for bbPress.

Post Notification

Since I started using RSS (which most email clients and phone now handle nicely), I’ve never had a need for this.

It’s a fairly simple one to code though (with pitfalls), if there was a big enough need for it.

Subscribe To Topic

Yeah, that won’t work, and isn’t being worked on.

Matt annouced in December that it was going to be part of 1.1, but then ran away when people disagreed with him (can you believe a moderator actually asked him a question – sacrilege) and started telling people not to use bbpress while he was making KeyNote speeches at WordCamps.

It should be working in the trunk version of 1.1, which will be the last version of bbPress to be released.

After The Deadline

I typed “after the deadline bbpress” into google and this came up:

http://gaut.am/2010/06/after-the-deadline-v1-point-7-released/

Whether it will work with the plugin by a different author i’ve no idea. In honesty, IE7’s the only browser I have that doesn’t have a spell check built in natively, and its got it via an addon; so i’ve never really seen the need for this. Clearly others have though.

Someone said that part of the reason they haven’t been updated is because the authors are waiting for the new ‘plugin’ version of bbPress to be released

Sadly the WordPress (small p dangit) plugin will eradacate all code/plugins/themes/support from the current version. Nothing will be compatible.

A large part of why things aren’t updated is because bbPress looked like it was dying. The decision to rewrite a large chunk of code and go with BackPress made the majority of plugins not work overnight, and the initial thrust of 1.0 made it not worthwhile to upgrade them.

If we assumed they worked once, and all they’re not doing now is the notification part, you’d think that wouldn’t be very difficult to fix.

Awesome, i look forward to you coding them and releasing them. Thanks for offering Joe

I’ve never had to define the “COOKIEHASH” before.

The wordpress integration plugin is quite useless, its really only there to give you the cookiepath as “/”.

9/10 I find the solution can be found by going through this step by step guide:

BBpress don’t use a wordpress database with the wordpress users?

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

“bbPress can share user data with an existing WordPress installation. All you need to do is specify the location of that database on installation or afterwards in the “WordPress Integration” section of the “Settings” area in your bbPress admin”

[Sincever]

Hi!!

Question: BBpress don’t use a wordpress database with the wordpress users?

[pagal]

No doubt its a really good plugin for wordpress

But it not works with bbPress.

When I activate this plugin then wp works but I’m getting a blank screen for my forums,

Nothing in forums, nor in source code simple white page.

So, Simply I want to stop this plugin to work with forums.

I’m using

If you could help, I would greatly appreciate it.
