I’ve watched the video and it seems to be very comprehensive, however, upon step 1, I’m getting the following error:
“There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.
Please check the settings, then try again.”
I’ve input the following in the fields
wordpress
mywpdatabase username
mywpdatabase password
localhost
utf8
this field blank

you have any suggestions?
Hey royho, I don’t really know what you mean by that.
I have it had mysite.com/forums
its on the same database as wordpress and I followed the wordpress integration steps
In case this may help you guys. Here is a video tutorial of how it is done quick and easy.

Respecto a la traducción al español de bbPress, yo había seguido las instruciones que dan en Ayuda WP http://ayudawordpress.com/como-integrar-bbpress-y-wordpress/ que suelen ser las usuales para la traducción de WP, es decir: colocar el archivo es_ES.mo a la carpeta “bb-includes/languages” Pero no funcionó. Luego de dar vueltas me di cuenta que en el archivo bb-config.php, precisamente antes de la última línea a modificar “define( ‘BB_LANG’, ‘es_ES’ );” se encuentra la explicación, que no es otra cosa que incluir el archivo es_ES.mo en una carpeta o fichero de nombre my-languages a colocar en el archivo raiz de bbPress, (y no dentro de bb-includes). Así lo hice y funcionó de inmediato.
I’m hoping I did this correctly…
I think it was step 2 of the install where you enter in your database details..
I entered in my wordpress database details so that they share the same user database.
This was the correct thing to do?
Also, it seems to work, my admin account worked for both the site and on the forum so it looks like my account is shared.
One problem though, when I login on the site and then go to the forums sometimes it is still logged out on the forums.
WP forums use bbpress. The Post form address is https://wordpress.org/support/bb-post.php for the Post button on WP forums. But for a guy who says Code is Poetry, it is really sad that he isn’t even allowing many people to participate actually. Last day I talked with a developer who has created many plugins for bbpress. He said Matt replied to his mail asking him to just stay on track, when he aksed about joining the bpress developers. Matt please shed some light. Should we continue using bbpress or do we need to find an alternative?
Hey guys,
In case anyone finds this useful; we’ve put together a video tutorial on how to install bbPress:
http://www.pagelines.com/posts/how-to-install-bbpress/
we will also be following it up with one on how to “deep integrate” with a WordPress theme
I’m sorry. I can’t edit my post anymore.
I want to see their username. Because i want to link to the wordpress profile page instead of the standard bbpress profile page. So it must be: example.com/members/username and not example.com/forum/profile/displayname.
I can edit the link in a file by myself, but i don’t know how to call the username (for the user that is logged in) and not the display name.
Hi Experts,

Hello,
I want to know the name of the User that is logged in (the name that he is registered, so not viewed on the forum. Most of the time, people change there name to look it better for forum post’s and comments. But i want the real name.)
So not bb_get_current_user_info(‘name’); because then i get the name dat is displayed on the site.
Another thing is: Is there a plugin, or trick to let WordPress and BBPress more cooperate between them? Because, if i know logged in on wordpress, is must do exactly the same thing on bbpress. But i want logged in on wordpress and in the same time logged in in bbpress too. So then i don’t need to login twice on the same website.
Thanks,
Leander
I am trying to integrate MediaWiki user authorization but after hours of searching I can’t find the code for AuthPress.php.
http://spectaclar.org is no longer online. Can someone post the code here or link to a working site? If I can find the code I would love to resurrect this project; that is unless someone has a better way of creating a single sign on setup for WP, bbPress, and MediaWiki.
Hi, I’m trying to list topics from the forum in a WP post. I’m wanting to just show the topics that have the same tags as the particular post that is being viewed.
This is basically a display relevant posts. How can this be done? I’ve tried a bunch of PHP, but I’m not having luck navigating the codex between the two databases. I’ve mucked around alot, but I can’t get beyond the basic display the last 10 posts functionality.
Here’s where I’m at: HELP?
<?php
global $wpdb;
$query=”SELECT * FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status=0 ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 10″;
$results=$wpdb->get_results($query);
foreach ($results as $result) {echo “
topic_id.”‘>”.$result->topic_title.”
“;}
?>
I’m struggling with this as well. The difference is I installed a vanilla WordPress 2.9.2 and bbPress 1.02 as a test and got the integration working easily. However I have a blog I just upgraded from WordPress 2.8 to 2.9.2 and from bbPress 1.0 to 1.02 and nothing I do will make it work. I can’t see any particular difference and I’m just about to die of frustration here.
glad to hear you’re still working on this as it will help a lot of people! Do we actually have any concrete information about how close any integration with wordpress is, in order to make the decisions you suggest?
If you have BuddyPress installed on WordPress, then just install the bbPress component. BP would automatically handle everything.
OK, more info: we’re completely integrated with WordPress. Our username for login is the user’s email address. Even when a visitor is not logged in, they can click on another user’s profile and view that user’s email address. Problem.
Hey all, I am trying to install some themes for my bbpress/wordpress site and when I go and install the theme files to my-themes all I get in the “available themes” page are blank themes with just the names showing, and if I try and activate it, the site is just blank. I have attached a shot, or a link to a screen shot of what I am seeing. Any help would be greatly appreciated! And by the way, thanks for all the help all ready, this site has helped me get my bbpres site running on the same DB as my wordpress!

Just open the front-page.php file in your template folder and move (cut and paste) the “latest disussions” section down which will move the “main theme” section down.
It will look like this when you’re done:
http://wordpress.pastebin.com/a2y4FunW
Just copy and paste that into the file called front-page.php (replace everything that is there now.) That will put the main theme on top and latest discussions on the bottom.
I moved lines 11-45 down so the main theme comes up first.
What makes you think it was integrated correctly? Did it ever work right?
Maybe bbPress (bb_) got installed into the WordPress (wp_) tables?
Well, I’ve been using phpbb for some time, and as WordPress is so good, I’ve decided to give bbPress a try. And as phpbb is full of spams I just can’t handle… well…
I’ve read the installation instruction, and check if it has the requirements… and it has. So uploaded the bbPress to my directory and when try to run the installer:
“An old config.php file has been detected in your installation. You should remove it and run the installer again. You can use the same database connection details if you do.”
What I’ve tried to to:
Delete the “bb-config-sample.php”
Rename the “bb-config-sampl.phpe” to “bb-config.php”
Nothing happens. Still the same message. Does anyone know how to help me?
Thank you,

As for the bbPress canonical plugin, I think that is a ways away.
But I just checked, and the latest version of BuddyPress does actually work with WordPress 2.9!
https://buddypress.org/blog/news/introducing-buddypress-1-2/
“the BuddyPress team has added the ability to install bbPress from inside of WordPress”
I wish that Automattic would have done the same for the stand-alone version of WP 2.9, after all, there are more single installs of WP than there is of BuddyPress and MU.
I saw that there’s a bbPress canonical plugin in the works but I wonder what the ETA is…

Thanks gerikg!
I’ve been struggling with this aspect since I lost my WordPress virginity 3 weeks ago.
Wp 2.9.2
bb 1.0.2
PHP 5
all www’s removed
I had tried everything I could find in the forum and new I was getting close when I could log on to Wp but not BB and vice versa. Then I found this thread followed gerikg’s instructions and could then log on to Wp and go into Dashboard, but when I visited the site, it showed me as logged off Wp and logged on to BB.
I then moved define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/blog/’ ); from BELOW define cookies to LINE 16 and still the same. Finally I changed cookie path to define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ ); and now I can log in or out of either Wp or BB and it logs me in/out of the other so I am very happy to have resolved finally but will proceed with caution when the next upgrade comes along.
It should be noted that bbPress Integration suggested define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/blog/’ );
Also note that I couldn’t get the keys to lock as described in gerikg’s notes but all keys definately the same in both xx-config.php’s
Finally, it was a nightmare and almost gave up but as someone already said I did learn a lot. Thanks
