Thank you for your comments.

I am in the need for a light-weight discussion board, preferably something that isn’t tied to WordPress. And for this I think bbPress suits perfectly. But I don’t want to invest time in something that isn’t going nowhere.

@ chrishajer… topic has been resolved… My problem has gone..

==================================================

@ gerikg reply regaring your email

Because you was using the wordpress header you wasn’t using the style.css file in the theme. I left it so it’s not used but adjusted the other files.

…:: Yes I’m using my bbpress style sheet into wp style sheet…

I tried your files but they did not work…

Its was a matter of global variable ..

I’ve learned it from this post

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/seemless-wordpress-integration

<?php if ($forumpage == TRUE) {

bb_title();

echo ” :.: AKN&I”;

} else …

to add the forum feed:

<?php if ($forumpage == TRUE) bb_feed_head(); ?>

in my case I call global variables..

anyway thanks for your help..

============================================

@ pelle .. really sorry dude your plugin did not work for my forums.. I hope it will work for others..

and I hope you’ll make it better and simple..

all the best….

Regards

My experience with bbpress is unfortunately very bad: i am a webmarketing manager (not a developer) and i trusted the “Download, install, and you’re on your way!” they claim on the homepage, but since then i had nothing but frustrations.

Obviously i chosed bbpress because of the wordpress integration, but it took me months to make it work, and now ii have it, but full of bugs (plugins not working, empty synced comments etc etc etc).

Unfortunately many people work in my company, and already have many users in my forum, so i just cannot change platform i’ll have to survive with bbpress.

If you have a simple site, lots of patience, know php and are very religious, go on with bb.

The Process

[jakshi]

O, I did integration with lastest releases wordpress (2.9.2) and bbpres (1.0.2), I just guess that long chain of previous upgrades can influence on bbpress integration with wordpress (may be database upgrades have some inaccuracy etc.)

[Kevin Muldoon]

Yes it may have been a little different if you did the integration with older releases. The best thing to do is to upgrade WordPress to the latest version, then bbPress, and then do the integration. Rather than integrate the scripts and then upgrade them.

[Ryan Hellyer]

This is now been released as a beta and includes a lot of improvements.

You can see another example of it in action on the GreekBerry forum (case study). It would be great to see an example of it in use with bbPress too

[gerikg]

Locate the bb-config.php file it might be in your wordpress folder or bbpress and find the define( ‘BB_LANG’

[Shivanand Sharma]

bbPress isn’t going anywhere. If you are worried about the lack of initiative in the direction of development, be assured that it will be also be there in bbPress closing down.

They’ve decided to convert bbPress into a WordPress plugin. But that’s been pending for months now. And when that does happen you’ll sitll have bbPress around. Don’t worry… use bbPress. It’s not got some premium themes and plugins too. The community is working on it behind the scenes.

[jakshi]

Al – I glad that my investigation help somebody

Kevin Muldoon – Thank you, may be it help some people that have trouble with integration. You article about integration very useful and clear. May be difference between my site and site that you setuped – My site has been upgraded from 2.1.x to 2.9.x during using and bbpress was upgraded from 0.9.x to 1.0.x, but you setup new sites.

[Kevin Muldoon]

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

Kevin

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!

Al

[mr_pelle]

@cNc: the best thing would be to test the forum out of a WordPress page, so there would be no header/footer problems.

[jakshi]

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.

[chrishajer]

I have no idea what happens after you submit this form.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/forum/requests

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.

[cnc]

@ 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

[gerikg]

@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.

[gerikg]

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’)

[Xevo]

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.

[Xevo]

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?

@ wlanguide

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.

[wlanguide]

So, wordpress 3.0 is to be released? Good news!!

[Xevo]

@ 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.

[kevinjohngallagher]

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.

[psycheangels]

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

[jc99]

Is it possible to call bbpress from a page in wordpress?
