Hi jakshi,
I’m surprised you had this problem as I did the integration process several times and never had a problem with this. Not sure if this is something that is caused my a setting on a websites host or something similar. I’ve updated the article with your suggestion though so that others will know to try this solution

Jakshi, a sincere thank you.
I had given up trying to make WP/BBP integration work, having tried everything I could find on-line to suggest how to fix things, but with no luck.
However, your suggestion of halving my key lengths from 64 to 32 has it all working. Amazing.
Cheers!

@cNc: the best thing would be to test the forum out of a WordPress page, so there would be no header/footer problems.
Hello.
I read http://www.wpmods.com/integrate-wordpress-bbpress and do all described thing, but had no success with cookies integration.
Then I read forums, check all parameters, but cookies integration didn’t work.
When I have searched for answer – I have tried to change my BB_AUTH_KEY = AUTH_KEY, BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY=SECURE_AUTH_KEY etc. parameters in wp-config.php and bb-config.php on somthing simple (‘d’) — suddenly, cookie integration begin to work.
I did several experiments and found that if keys too long – cookie integration don’t work. Keys with length 32 chars — still work, but keys with length 64 chars don’t work at all.
May be this will helpful for somebody.
I have no idea what happens after you submit this form.

I am guessing there is someone at automattic that approves WordPress plugins, and maybe looks at bbPress plugins as well. I know on the WordPress side it wasn’t always transparent. With less volume at bbPress, I imagine it’s even LESS transparent.
@ vilimaunula….. where did you include this code? in which file? in which line?
<?php if ($forumpage == TRUE) {
bb_title();
echo ” :.: AKN&I”;
} else …
to add the forum feed:
<?php if ($forumpage == TRUE) bb_feed_head(); ?>
and are you sure this code is right.. for getting bbpress title?
Thanks,
cNc
@mr_pelle, no cNc is just calling the WP one <?php global $is_bb; $is_bb = true;<b> get_header();</b>?>.
The solution would be calling the bbPress one bb_get_header() and bb_get_footer() and adjusting the header.php & footer.php in the bbpress theme to closely match the one in the WordPress one.
1) That is your header.php and footer.php file in your bbPress theme but you’re NOT using them. You’re using your WordPress theme’s header.php & footer.php. I did a view source on your site and the first two lines after body is:
<body> <div id="header"> <div id="logo">
If you were pulling what you pasted before it should of been:
<body id="xxx"><div id="wrapper"><div id="header" role="banner">
So you’re not pulling bb_head() & do_action(‘bb_foot’)
Arguments, stuff you want to do with the function. It’s used all over wordpress/bbpress.
Looked it up in a PHPXref and found that ‘exclude=7,8’ should work, try removing the $page and see what happens.
Awesome just what I need, have my bbpress integrated into wordpress + buddypress, so would like to test it for you. Could you send it to me?

Wordpress 3.0 beta is out already. Working on that release.
Thanks for the help guys, just installed it on a clean install and followed all the steps in the tutorial mentioned above made it a succes. Setting topic to solved.
So, wordpress 3.0 is to be released? Good news!!
@ Gautam
Will try that tutorial and follow it to the letter with a clean install later.
@ GerikG
First thing I tried, no luck.
@ Kevin Muldoon
My downloaded zip file only contained bb-config-sample.php. I have my folder writeable, so that not the problem either. I haven’t deinstalled buddypress yet, will try integrating bbpress with a clean install later. And to remind you, I’m trying to intergrate it with 3.0, not with 2.9.2.
If anyone else has a solution, please let me know.
I’m always wary of website with premium themes that refuse to show screen shots or link to a demo; or that are selling them from a website thats just a rushed out wordpress install (complete with the “Hello World!” blog post still being the only one there).
I’m not doubting the validity of the theme or it’s value, it may be awesome and totally worth the money, it’s just I’d rather see the theme itself than a text based flash movie telling me that it’s great.
no wait until matt make bbpress to wp plugin, but now you can use wp function in bbpress using this method
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/seemless-wordpress-integration
or other method in this forum, cek sub forum theme
Is it possible to call bbpress from a page in wordpress?
What do I assign for User Role Maps in bbpress wordpress integration…
WordPress Administrator: I assume this is Keymaster
But the rest I am unsure of….
WordPress Editor, Author and Contributer: Moderator?
WordPress Subscriber: Member?
Is there a place I can read up on the different roles (Key Master, Adminstrator, Moderator Member)

Hi gerikg,
this post could help you:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/create-a-new-custom-page-like-wordpress
1. Make a custom page
create a page discussion.php in the root forum folder
add require_once(‘./bb-load.php’); on the top of the page. and write whatever code you want in the page.. that should create a static page with bbpress functions..
2. Put in the code for the Latest discussions from the main page (?)
or
3. Make your own sql query – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/create-a-new-custom-page-like-wordpress

Uh. Yes. I can read, and I DID read that, thanks. As I said…
“Nothing I had read previously said that I COULD use the same database as WordPress, __or that I needed to do something differently if I WAS using separate databases__.” (emphasis added)
So, yes. I realize there was another solution to the problem. I just chose to solve it the one way.
The website states
“There are lots of articles on the web stating that bbPress and WordPress have to be installed into the same database in order for the two scripts to integrate correctly. This is not true (though perhaps it was in the past). “
But it’s great that it worked.
Thanks for the tutorial link, Gautam.
Actually the problem ended up being that I was using a separate database for the forums, as nothing I had read previously said that I could use the same database as WordPress, or that I needed to do something differently if I WAS using separate databases.
So yeah. Reinstalled using my WordPress database, and everything is working now.
Thanks again!
you should still be able to add a keymaster in 2.92. It’s no different. If it doesn’t then you need to check your cookie salts and keys again.
The installation does not make the bb-config.php file. It should already be uploaded, all the installation does is update it with the info you add during the installation process (as long as you make it writeable, if not, you need to update it manually).
Have you uninstalled buddypress completely i.e. deactivated the plugin, removed the tables and deleted the template pack?
Add
AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4
to your .htacess file. By default GoDaddy uses php4
bah I should add pictures to my tutorial!
First, clear your cache and you should have access again. If that doesn’t work then it’s a deeper issue.
I think Gautam and I and gerikg and some others realized we don’t need any outside help to move the project forward, at least for the time being. There’s a lot we can do without having the keys to the whole thing.
Several people have mentioned a fresh face for bbPress.org, and it’s long overdue. Sam created one a while back, and matveb created a mockup: http://bit.ly/8Vfecq
The talk at the time, and I can’t recall if it was in email or in the IRC chats, was that we didn’t want to stick bbPress.org with a new design, because WordPress.org was getting a new design, then bbPress.org would be out of date (or dated) again.
So, the theme/template here will wait until after the WordPress.org redesign.
In my opinion though, it would just be window dressing on a project that’s just limping along.
