I tried downloaded and installing everything from the beginning. Untouched new WordPress 2.9.2 and bbPress 1.0.2.

1. Install WP.

2. Paste secret keys in wp-config.

3. Install bbPress in another database with keys from wp-config. Set up seperate user database settings.

4. Enable bbPress integration plugin in WP and paste code into wp-config.

5. Set up role map in bbPress.

Registered users in WP show up in bbPress, and registered users in bbPress how up in WP. Logins also work on both. But any changes to user roles does not transfer over to the other platform.

So what am I doing wrong?

Sorry, haven’t checked back here until now.

All it does is buffer the HTML output of sections of the WordPress theme and then create static files from it.

That way you can grab the head section of your WordPress site (scripts and all) and dump it into another piece of software. This allows things like widget areas, plugin functionality etc. to be transferred across to the other software dynamically. If you alter a widget area on your WordPress powered site, that will be displayed automagically in the other software. The advantage of doing it this way is that you don’t have the negative impacts of bogging the server down as if you did it with deep integration with bbPress, plus it works with other software as well, not just bbPress/WordPress.

This is the second complaint I’ve received about the instructions so I’ll try to improve them. I thought it was fairly straightforward though. I can’t think of an easier way to explain than how I did on the page, but I’ll do my best I’m quite busy right now so it may not be for a few weeks at least.

From what I’ve heard, there may be an error in the instructions too so I’ll need to sort that out when I rewrite them (I think one of my function names my be incorrect in the instructions but don’t have time to deal with that right now).

you need to set them up under WordPress integration settings, only unassigned roles will be effected. http://wpwebhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/userrolemap.png

which plugin are you using?

[wizardregis]

When I change the user roles in WordPress the change does not transfer over to bbPress, and vice versa. I can still change the roles, but I have to do it as two places, which makes the whole integration worthless.

Registrations in WP transfer over to bbPress (and vice versa) and logging in to WP let you login to bbPress so the cookies are working correctly. However new WP registrations does not assign a role in bbPress (unless I use the plugin).

I have assigned the role map. I am using the bbPress Integration plugin. Not using deep integration. I have done pretty much every thing I could think of, but it’s not working.

I’m using WP 2.9.2 and bbPress 1.0.2. WP and bbPress is sharing the same database.

There has always been some overlap with functions being declared in both bbPress and WordPress. I don’t know the solution to this one.

Does the same problem happen on endurodoc.net? Installing on localhost on MAMP can be troublesome, and if you’re going to host it on the Internet anyway, it would be better to solve problems in the environment where it will ultimately reside.

[gerikg]

I think we had some successful people using it with WP 3.0. I personally don’t recommend automatic upgrade. Sometimes it might be a drastic code change that will mess your integrated bbpress theme.

[chrishajer]

so there is no way to reply to a comment, only to the entire post thread? how does somebody quote another person to reply to them within the post?

You copy and paste into your reply and just wrap it in html <blockquote>

Replies are not threaded in bbPress. Comments *are* threaded in WordPress, if you want them.

[merddyn2002]

I just integrated my wp with bbpress and its working wonderfully, however, now i’m wondering if I should still be using the “automatically upgrade” feature in wordpress when they release a new version of it. I routinely do that. I currently have the most up to date version, but I’m wondering if I do that in the future if something will break now that I have this integration setup.

The integration instructions I followed were here:

[chrishajer]

This is my favorite topic of all time on bbpress.org – thanks _ck_

[_ck_]

Chris the bbpress.org theme willl likely never be available since it’s not a GPL creation, Matt paid employees to have it made.

However there is a WPMimic theme for bbPress which makes it look very close to this since it simulates wordpress.org

For some reason I have the wrong screenshot of it but you can see it in action like this:

Hi there, after installing and integrating bbpress on our WordPress site, the “news” page which is the blog portion of the site only shows partial content, of the last post created, not showing any of the “blog” stuff like date, author, sidebar, etc. Here’s the address if that may help: http://www.apps4good.ca/news

Would appreciate any help!

Thanks,

Ian

PS. I’ve installed bbpress again with no integration at /forums (previously /forum).

We might be able to guilt/nag Matt into getting a proper Wiki installed here once he gets WordPress 3 out the door (but then there will be 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 the week after, so maybe 2 weeks then, lol)

Published about it on the bbdevel blog – http://bbdevel.wordpress.com/2010/05/05/bbpress-website-gets-a-new-look/

Im getting these messages @ the bbPress syncronization page in WP

(Synchronization with bbPress is not enabled. You must check options and enable plugin to make it work.)

&

URL is incorrect or connection error, please verify it (full variant): pedalmovement.com/forum/my-plugins/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/bbwp-sync.php

The forum is visible at >>> http://pedalmovement.com/forum/

I have the plugins correct…

Also want to change the template, I uploaded one to the my-templates folder, how do you activate it?

[NathalieLussier]

Hey I decided to just scrap everything and re-install…

That fixed it. But – then I thought I’d be smart and just rename the databases to the new table prefix, and that broke things again.

So I’m think it’s something to do with the database holding onto to information about the wordpress database… Just my hunch.

Anyways I ended up just reinstalling and going with it from scratch.

Thanks for you help!

[gerikg]

email me your bb-config file.

[patrick hall]

one last thing, if I restore the bb-config.php file back to before I went for the deep integration, the forum shows back up. Is the point of all of this so I can log in to the forum with my existing users from my WP Blog? Because if so, it’s saying no users are found.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

database name, username, password & hostname

These are the only four things you need and since you mention only the username and passwords are changed, this even narrow down.

Is there a possibility your host changed things for a particular hostname only (that script was intended for your WP hostname only and bbPress is on a different hostname)?

And since you are using deep integration, I guess it has to do something with the WordPress loading before and conflicting with the bbPress db connection somehow.

Where is your deep integration line in bb-config.php? Before where bb db settings are defined. right?

[patrick hall]

Can you help me with this error? I went through your steps and it seemed to work perfectly (except the part where you type in Blah blah blah, that hasn’t worked for me yet but I skipped it).

Everything seemed to go fine until the Deep Integration. I followed that correctly including the ” ‘ ” note and this is the error I recieved:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/content/r/l/m/rlmorris/html/blog/fsforum/bb-config.php on line 74

Not sure what to do at this point, I thought I finally had it but now I’m just tired of dealing with this. How in the world can installing a blog be so complicated?

[NathalieLussier]

Hi!

I installed bbpress with deep integration and it was humming along nicely. Then my host went through all the database user passwords and updated them, for security purposes. They had a script to change the .php files for the wordpress installs, but not for bbpress unfortunately.

First I got “ERROR: Could not establish a database connection” on my bbpress install. I thought, no worries, I just need to update bb-config.php with the new password.

Problem: I did just that, and it is still giving me the same error.

Any chance there’s another file that also needs to be updated? Perhaps with the deep integration there’s a second place that I need to change?

Thank you SO much in advance for your help!

[Daiv Mowbray]

I have recently discovered that new users at my bbpress forum

fail to receive their welcome email with their password.

BBpress version 1.0.2 integrated with WordPress version 2.9.2

I thought it might be the New User Email Setup , http://www.epicalex.com/new-user-email-set-up/ plugin installed in my WP, but deactivating it didn’t fix the issue.

Any tips on where to start looking for a solution would be much appreciated.

Hi at all, I have some question:

first question:

if I put

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

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

on my wp_config.php, for use bbpress function on wordpress, I recive a blank page, why? is the same code that I put on bb-config.php with another path and file. (I can put wordpress function on bbpress, it works). wordpress is on the root and bbpress inside the bbpress folder.

second question:

i have install bbsync, on plugin page I see that there is some config to do, if I click on “It needs your config!” i’m linked on general setting, I don’t understand what I have to do for use this plugin.

third question: is neccesary wp_plugin_bbPress_Integration?

I put all key on bb-config and wp-config.

thank you

kikko088

[gerikg]

Yes, for the themes to work deep integration (include wp-load.php) needs to be used. The themes do not work unless the wordpress version is active. So both WP & bbP theme have to be active at the same time for the “preview”

[gerikg]

Okay,

wp-config:

iit had two cookiepath, I delete one.

bb-config.php:

I took out the cookiehash (i think it should be on WP only)

The include line

include_once( '/home/xxx/public_html/xxxx' ); was not pointing to any file

it should point to wp-load.php

`include_once( ‘/home/xxx/public_html/xxxx/wp-load.php’ );

also the ‘ wasn’t ‘ it was something else which happens when you copy and paste. I mentioned it “(beware some pasting of this code make the ‘ character change, make sure it’s the button left of the enter key on your keyboard)”

I didn’t do the follow up steps on the bbP dashboard, but this should set you on your way.

[gerikg]

yeah, email me…
