Three quick questions to help scope out the situation.

1) Which versions of bbPress and WordPress did you have working together?

2) What version of WordPress did you upgrade to?

3) Where did your users disappear – just in bbPress, or also in WordPress?

Also – is this your forum?

My forum has lost all user info.

I don’t know where to begin fixing it. The users are still intact in the database.

I just “upgraded” WordPress, and that’s when the shenanigans started. All posts are still present, but the poster for each is listed as “anonymous” and “unregistered”.

I’m an engineer, not a programmer, and I have very limited experience with .php programming. What can I do to fix this?

I’ve gotten BBPress/Wordpress integration working, and now I want to use BBPress to handle all login duties—I would like to make it so that when a user accesses the login link from WordPress, it redirects them back to the page they came from after they log in to BBPress. So, the user will ideally travel:

A page [not logged in] -> BBPress bb_login.php -> Originating Page [logged in]

This is another thread relating to redirection but it seems very outdated, I can’t find the code they reference. Redirection works splendidly whenever you are internal to BBPress, is there any way to have it work when you’re coming from an external wordpress page?

This is kind of a re-post, my first post attempt is being held with an “Array: Voices” status, whatever that means…

Chrishajer, do you think they should update this page: https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

I would like to move my forums from ikonboard to bbpress. I am using wordpress so you can understand the reasons, that and ikonboard is no longer supported.

I did a search in google and it said it could be done. what do i need to do to this?

[frhong]

Excellent! This is exactly what I want. I will try this out as we speak…

Hi, I’m building a community website and planning to export the topic list, including the “number of post, last post user, time” column into my WordPress main page.

An example screenshot will look like this :

Please let me know if you know how to do it, or is there any documents that I can refer to. Many thanks

Okay, so I installed bbPress fine, but then I was trying to get my WordPress page to link to my forums. So then long story short, I changed the url settings in bbPress, and now, every time I try to log in, it goes to a page on my wordpress, saying page not found. I can go to my forums, just not the admin page. So I deleted everything and tried to reinstall, and when I hit step 2, it says the “Already installed, Upgrade Script thing,” so i click the link, and it send me back to my page on my wordpress. Is there a file that contains what that url thing should be? Because I haven’t been able to find it. Thanks for any help.

1) Yes, you’ve heard correct that project is almost dead as no development is taking place for weeks. Also, more chances are that it will be converted into a WordPress plugin (but some methods might be made available to transfer your data from the bbPress install to the plugin).

2) bbPress 1.0 was almost a rewrite of 0.9, so a lot of code changed and the plugins became incompatible. _ck_, a major plugin developer and contributor to the project left because the project was not getting attention from months. You can check her website – http://bbshowcase.com

3) Can’t say anything about the timings….

4) That has been reported in #1181

Hi all,

I am in the process of developing a new site (which is currently in beta and not meant for the public yet…) but I have a few concerns…

Website: http://www.diyextra.com

1) Have I chosen the right forum for the project, I keep hearing bbpress is dead or it will not be developed as much when/if it becomes a plugin… Should I be using a larger scale forum package like vbulletin or phpbb ? … My thoughts on the subject originally was to go bbpress as it may tie in well with the CMS side of the site which is controlled by wordpress, I did look in to buddypress but the whole group forum thing is off putting and the fact it is not SEO friendly and the slugs (urls) are way to long… Anyone have any comments or thoughts on this would be great….

2) Plugins – Ok so I understand the forum is very basic in its core state and you add plugins to achieve options you require, but quite a number of plugins I have tried to use seem not to work, Also I have a concern that there will be a limited number of plugins developed for bbpress when/if it becomes a plugin.

3) Here is a bug I have found – maybe its just on my forum… The freshness (time/date) is incorrect a lot of the test posts I have posted on the forum are from weeks and months ago, but yet they are show up as 3 weeks… yes I have heavily modified the templet files but only the html and header/footer locations… any ideas ?

4) RSS – Also I am getting RSS error – “This page contains the following errors: error on line 10 at column 33: Entity ‘raquo’ not defined

Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.” Anyone else have this problem or any suggestions…

Many Thanks Guys,

Chris

[Gautam Gupta]

Chrishajer, how can I contact you?

[Erlend]

Last I checked it seemed like Matt (the only developer I’ve seen around here) had his hat full with suggestions and left with that, quite some time ago now. I reckon if there is a future for bbPress it’s already set into motion some way or another. If that future is as a plug-in, I don’t worry at all.

WordPress is becoming a whole lot more than a blog these days; in some ways, a whole lot less. Way I see it, I wouldn’t be surprised if by WordPress 3.5 or 4.0, WordPress isn’t really a blog, but a plain extensible web development platform, making the blog functionality yet another ‘plug-in’ (that hovers).

[Chomsky]

>> Why not just start out with wp? I only ask then because your question gives me the impression that you will only be using one or the other. But on the flip side if you are going to be using both back up and save all your data and down load wp on the your site.

That is the problem that i am not starting right now. I have already built my forums and they are working with my previous website i.e. like a link is given on the previous website. I want to extend the functionality of my website by allowing users to comment on articles etc. and for that I need wordpress kind of thing. If I install wordpress right now, it will require users to register again. All I want is if I install wordpress right now, all the users from the forums be transferred in wordpress as well. With your reply it was not clear that if I just download the wordpress to my site, will it work right away i.e. it will have the similar ‘integration’ page like we observe when we install bbpress on wordpress. Or let’s say if I give the same sql data base name that I am using for bbpress, will it import the users from bbpress?

Thanks

I an new in bbpress, traying to help my greater daughter to install a forum, and we found the peacemaker bbpress theme, a very interesting 3 columns theme, just we was looking for. But it has not complete the templates files, (register.php and register-sucess.php do not exist) so is not posible a register for the users, and works like a demo site as it just says.

I found an one year old topic about in this forum, but I am not clear if it is the same problem.

I have installed bbpress (not integrated with WP) and a few aditionals themes to test, buy I like peacemaker. Somebody has a complete version?

“Don’t download me yet. I’m in the beginning stages of development.”

Also, interesting to see this tag: core plugin

[wordpress Spec]

Hi all,

I do try the integration with applications but I get a problem, but really problems is that if I login on WP I lost login on bbpress and if I login on bbpress I lost login on WordPress.

I set in wp-config.php and bb-config.php with same constant:

AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY, NONCE_KEY and BB_AUTH_KEY, BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY, BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY, BB_NONCE_KEY

and I set the 3 value on bbpress setting page, I leave blank field “WordPress “secure auth” cookie salt” beacause I don’t have this field on wordpress.

I installed bbpress integration plug in on wordpress and set the url of forum and I write in wp-config file this string:

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

This looks promising and very exciting the say the least.

Hi,

I have installed bbpress first with my own website. Now, when I have a lot of users on it, I want to switch my website to a wordpress based website. I know it is possible if you want to install bbpress on a wordpress website. I want to ask if I can install wordpress after I have installed bbpress. i.e. I want to transfer all my users from bbpress to wordpress etc.

Thanks

[56alifar]

Did you get this work already?

[paulhawke]

@crosescu – there’s an interesting argument that would say more people would use wordpress (and for that matter bbPress too) if the codebase werent a monolithic structure. For instance, the ability to swap out user authentication to do single-signon against a Kerberos server rather than the built-in user-auth, or against the code in Mediawiki, should I want to integrate there. My hope is that merging yet more code in wont cause the entire house of cards to collapse around our ears.
