hi guys,

thanks gerikg’s instrucition,very helpful!

i followed gerikg’s instruction,but meet a problem.

on task 7 after i clicked on save changes,

i should get the code below:

define( ‘COOKIEHASH’, ‘9ff1a614da865684d07223b202d18708’ );

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.10.10.1.20’ );

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/wordpressmu/’ );

define( ‘ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/wordpressmu’ );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/wordpressmu/’ );

but actually i lost

define( ‘ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/wordpressmu’ );

so when i log into bbpress then

i can log into wordpressmu automatically

but i cant log into wordpressmu admin automatically

does anybody have an idea what i have missed?

your help will be much appreciated.

thanks guys

One thing, not sure if it matters. The forum pages all return a 404 code, even though the page is displayed. This was an old problem with WordPress integration.

Here is something:

http://www.adrogen.com/blog/wordpress-wp-blog-headerphp-causes-404-in-ie/

Also, are you including wp-load.php or wp-blog-header.php? Should be wp-load.php.

There is another post on these forums on how to fix it but I cannot find it right now.

Hi All,

Just wanted to past on that I seem to have the wordpress plugin ‘W3 Total Cache’ working great with my deep integration version of bbPress 1.02, As long as you don’t enable the ‘Inline JS minification’ and ‘JS minify’ in the plugin the reset seem to work great and I have noticed a slight speed improvement…

My forum : http://www.diyextra.com/forum/ (have a look at the compressed source)

Anyway just thought I would pass it on….

Chris.

Hi I installed bbpress on /forum on my domain, then logged in ok using the admin username and password, next I tried to integrate it with wordpress by selecting the database option, at which point i was logged out and couldnt log back in with the previous user/password combo. I also checked the database and changed the password manually from there by generating an md5 hash, still no go, any help on how to get back in?

[capsx]

very basic plugin and uses iframes to provide access to bbPress:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/new-bbpress-admin/

[Trekkr]

Same… I’ve tried for the last hour to get the install to work…

Everything seems to integrate fine and it says “what are you waiting for” i finish the install and it says it installed with some errors…

I’ve cleared the tables 2 times and completely deleted the database once and every time at the end of the install i get this – Oh dear! bbPress is already installed.

I did what one of the threads said, which was to add dummy data to the forum table and then it loaded the forum, but i had no access to the admin section, could not log out and could not create any new posts, it just showed the dummy forum and me as logged in and that was it… SO I’ve uninstalled the database again and will try again tomorrow I guess… Bummer, cuz i was really hoping to have a forum tied into my wordpress site…

I’m too tired to post the details now and must go to bed, but if I run into this issue again tomorrow I’ll post here again all the details…

Hi there,

If you are looking for a BBpress and WordPress developer, than i’m your man!

I’m studying WP for about 4 years and BBpress for about 1 year now.

I make high premium WP sites with fully BBpress integrated.

See my latest project: http://www.jahw.nl / forum: http://www.jahw.nl/forums

I have an updated list with the best plugins and latest hacks for both WP and BBPress.

If you are looking for help, don’t hesitate to contact me via my contact page on my website: http://www.jahw.nl/contact

[56alifar]

Thnx for your answer KEvin, how can this be done?

[gerikg]

I’m willing to help, send me your requests to my email my user name at gmail.com

-I am only willing to help if you have the WordPress theme with you.

-It will be easier if I do it on your hosting for better results, I will need your ftp info and admin access.

-Your host must be using php5 (integrations works better that way)

-Starting from scratch is better, if that is not possible make sure your site is user integrated already

-I do my best to everything to match your WP theme.

-If your WP theme has a sidebar I will incorporate that.

-I will not customize your theme to look a certain way. Moving things around, removing or adding features etc etc.

-Not all WP themes are able to convert, please understand this.

Thankfully, i came up with a cunning solution.

It’s a new thing some of the kids are using, called Google. I know, it might never catch on, but it’s worth a shot…

New bbPress Theme: Black-Letterhead

http://ulyssesonline.com/blackletterhead/

BBPress Theme

Now it appears that the theme has been removed entirely, but i’d suggest contacting the Author via his website. It’s a 2 year old theme that really just changes a few colours, so they’ve probably just forgotten about it.

That said, the theme has been updated for WordPress so there is every chance that the code you need has just been rolled into one.

Either way, it’s a good place to start

Good Luck

[kevinjohngallagher]

Yes

Just remember that users set tags, and users are notoriously useless.

Especially if your forum / blog is not aimed at technical people (who have, to a certain degree, become used to the idea of tags for cross pollination).

[gerikg]

arpowers, great video but what about the wordpress integration setting in the bbpress?

Without steering into a different topic

Kevin Ryman, The theme look always depends on the WP theme. Sometimes the WP theme is too complex for it to work. Is there a specific theme you are looking for maybe I can help?

[vimcortez]

Thanks, I finally chaned an advanced option and was able to login. Yet the install did not go through properly and I don’t have any specifics as to what went wrong. I received an email saying my forum was up and running but when connecting get a 404 ‘not found’ error.

Here’s the log for the install (I replaced personal/sensitive data with “****”:

I don’t see what went wrong?

[royho]

You should install bb Press on a sub folder of the main domain and you could install it on the same database as your wordpress however your error seems more of a unable to connect to database error which means either the database name is not correct or your authentication did not go through. Double check those items.

Get rid of your host. Any host that charges to have an extra database created is just out to get your money.

[vimcortez]

Hi

I’m trying to install bbpress on my website and getting no joy. I put the uncompressed bbpress folder at the root (www) folder of my website. Problem is, the bbpress installer won’t accept the database login info I enter.

Maybe I’m doing it wrong? I’m using the same database as for wordpress, as creating an additional databse cost money with my provider (ovh).

I’d appreciate any help.

I’m working on it but I can’t get the admin bar to show in bbpress.

I keep getting:

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'bp_core_admin_bar_css' was given in /homepages/0/00/htdocs/wpbpbbp/wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php  on line 339

I want the same as the relevant posts plugin does but also for the forum.

If the blogpost in WP has the same tags as a forum topic i want to show the links on the blogpost with relevant forum posts.

Can this be done?

[kevinjohngallagher]

This is fairly simple to do, but you have to define exactly what you want it to do.

i.e. Are you looking for forum topics that include any of the Tags in the blog post? This means that there will be no ordering or weighting on relavancy.

This line of WP code will help you on your way too:

$tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);

[56alifar]

anyone?

[royho]

Although this is the code for WordPress it might be universal to BB Press as well. Open up your bb-config.php and add this line:

define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);

[Alex Luft]

Duane,

I think you’re better off using an installation of WordPress with the awesome P2 theme. It may suit your needs better.

I have changed server

ERROR: Could not establish a database connection

problem with

define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘user_bbpress’ ); ?

i have underscore in BBDB_USER and i get this error

ERROR: Could not establish a database connection

my old server is

define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘bbpress’ ); is work!

….

BBpress Latest Discussions (1.7.2) in wordpress could connect this database with Bbpress DB User: user_bbpress

[gerikg]

P.S. not all wordpress plugins work on the bbpress side, especially ones that involve user input. example (sidebar login ones)

[gerikg]

“manage the bbpress forum via the same admin login as the primary WP install.”

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-admin/

“…main wp widgetized sidebar”

If you did the deep integration you just have to stick <?php getsidebar() ?;> somewhere in you bbpress theme file then mess with you bbpress css to make it fit.

“..same sort of functionality with editing php and css templates, etc. in bbpress as with WP”

no such thing

[Process of Illumination]

Hello,

wp/bb sync used to work very well for me but all of a sudden i’ve got this problem:

the comment from bbpress to wordpress appears blank, no words in it. There is the name of the author, comment isnt in approval but is published on the site, counted in bbpress… just EMPTY, lol.

Plugin works perfectly the other way round, from wp to bb.

I am using WP version 2.9.2. and BBpress Version 1.0.2.

Does anyone has any advice, please? I really dont know how to get it back to work, i have tried and failed so many times, already.

Thank you very much.
