    It does not work like that. That’s on the radar though. To make your bbPress forum look like your WordPress site, you should browse the tag here integration. You will usually be creating a template for bbPress that looks like your WordPress theme. Another way to do it is to integrate so you have access to WordPress functions in bbPress, like get_header() and get_footer() so you can use WordPress functions.

    bbPress is GPL 2 licensed. You should read that to determine if you can remove all references to the software being bbPress. If you mean things like the logo and footer attribution, there’s no problem removing those things.

    1.) I thought one of the advantages of this forum was that it would automatically take on the theme of my WordPress site. It is not. How can I make that happen?

    2.) Can I remove all references to this being by bbPress, OR is that against the license?

    Thanks!

    Thanks.

    1.) Is there an advantage to installing it on a completely separate subdomain? So something like http://forums.MyDomain.com/

    I have noticed other people doing this.

    2.) Are there any issues with integrating it with my WordPress Blog if it is on a separate subdomain?

    Thank you.

    I found significant problems with the bbPress documentation on integrating bbPress into a WordPress site, which had me puzzling for well over an hour (http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/). Here is what I did in the end:

    1) Not at all clear from the documentation that bbPress should be installed in the same database as WordPress. Get WP database parameters from the WordPress wp-config.php, and enter these on the first page of the bbPress install page:

    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘warriord_wrdp7’);

    /** MySQL database username */

    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘warriord_wrdp7’);

    /** MySQL database password */

    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxx’);

    2) Fantastico and other automated scripts generate very long AUTH_KEY etc, that typically contain “escaped characters” within a PHP “define” statement (ie. ’ and \). Copying these from the wp-config.php into page 2 of the bbPress installer is problematic. Rather than trying to figure this out, I just copied them from wp-config.php (in WordPress) to bb-config.php (in bbPress).

    Other than this, it was pretty straightforward and now works like a charm. To see it working http://internet101.biz/wordpress-how-to/

    All the existing directories will be in the cPanel. Not sure if you can create a new one there, but you don’t even need to. find out where WordPress is installed (the folder with wp-config.php in it usually) and then upload the whole bbpress folder to the server. Rename that bbpress folder to whatever you want before you upload it.

    First you need to get it on your server somewhere. Unzip it on your desktop and then rename that bbpress folder to whatever you want to call your forum (some people us “forums”, like here, or “forum” or “discussions”. If you don’t change it from bbpress, you will be accessing it at http://www.example.com/bbpress/

    Once you unzip it, rename the folder if you want, upload it to your server. It’s commonly installed in a subfolder of WordPress. So, if WordPress is here: /var/www/htdocs/wordpress/ then you will want bbpress here /var/www/htdocs/wordpress/bbpress/ (with whatever you called the bbpress folder.)

    Once it’s uploaded there, you will access the installer online like this:

    http://www.example.com/bbpress/ (assuming http://www.example.com/ displays your WordPress site.)

    Once you are this far, you can work on the integration with WordPress.

    bbPress is not a WordPress plugin. If you uploaded it to wp-content/plugins it’s in the wrong place. bbPress requires its own folder and then you need to go through the installation by accessing your forum online at:

    http://www.example.com/bbpress (or ‘forum’ if you renamed the bbpress folder to something else.)

    I realize this is a really dumb question but I have the .zip file from this site so what do I do with it now to integrate it with wordpress?

    Hi Matt,

    I’ve been programming (or teaching it) for a living for 20+ years. I wrote my first few plugins for WordPress in 2005 and started working with WordPress MU in early 2006. The merged WP/WPMU codebase I mentioned in October can be downloaded here: http://wpmututorials.com/hacks/community-service/. More recently, I developed buddymatic which was one of the demos in the theme plugin/competition at WordCamp NYC. I also have a sharded database plugin for MU (based on HyperDB) which will be released this month. The database plugin itself is done and in use on production installs. I’m currently working on a site admin tool for migrating an install from a single database to the sharded structure.

    Buddymatic is great illustration of what I do best: approach problems & solutions from an unusual angle. (For other people reading the thread Buddymatic is a port of Thematic that has the BuddyPress theme functionality embedded in it that auto detects whether BP is active.) What I would like to do with bbPress is make it a canonical plugin. IMO, that’s the way to ensure its longevity and continued development.

    I don’t understand your logic. BuddyPress is a plugin for WPMU, which is a multi-blog version of WordPress. bbPress is a forum program. Not a plugin for anything, just a standalone forum.

    Merging BuddyPress and bbPress would be like merging a car company and a grocery store. You can drive a car to a grocery store and carry groceries in it, but integration is as close as you can get to merging them.

    Besides, no other major forum software (phpBB, IPB, VBulletin, SMF, etc) have a social network built in or are a plugin for a blogging program.

    My name is Dennis Morhardt, the man behind the german communities of BuddyPress and WordPress MU. (For you Matt, the guy from the WordCamp in Germany). I think bbPress 2.0 sould the release with the best WordPress integration, maybe as plugin or a combination of plugin and stand-a-lone version with the possibile to use normal wordpress themes. But my focus is internationalization and localization and I would like to help :-)

    Some just want it what it is: a FORUM, no fancy community options, no wordpress, just a stand alone forum. If this forum would require wordpress to function or buddypress, I would ditch this great peace of software. It would get too bloated IMHO.

    1 of the great things about bbPress is that its small and clean. Want to add stuff, install a plugin. You can make it function the way you want it.

    No need for speculation, hearsay and playing the blame game.

    Posts like this do not help matters.

    @michael888

    If you can’t wait for the WP/WPMU merge for BuddyPress, use Mingle, a social networking plugin by Blair Williams that works on regular WordPress. It’s already quite stable for such a young plugin.

    Good news is you can still use your existing bbPress as well :)

    If you are running WordPress for your blog, then there’s a nice “extended user profile” plugin for WP (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/extended-user-profile/) that would allow you to add to the fields normally available. Tweak your WP theme, and all should be well.

    #82069

    @jackey, since you deep integrated, the slashes problem could originate from WP, as a “magic quotes” issue

    I have a workaround for the navigation issue.

    This does not solve why some plugins are not working with integration (which would still be nice to know, and what code would fix it), but allows to have consistent menu tabs when integrating the theme. It involves using theme options for excluding pages, rather than a plugin.

    Incidentally, my theme already comes with the option to exclude pages from navigation, but I still used PageMash for other handy features… Then it occurred to me to test if the options would be reflected into bbPress, and sure they were!!! This way, no core code changes, all is controlled from within the theme.

    @arpowers – I am sure you already know how to do this. Posting links just in case, for others as well.

    To create the theme options page, there are tutorials, showing code to add to functions.php

    http://forthelose.org/how-to-create-a-theme-options-page-for-your-wordpress-theme

    http://blog.themeforest.net/WordPress/create-an-options-page-for-your-WordPress-theme/

    in the arrays to exclude the pages, this is what I have:

    array(	"name" => "Main Menu Settings",
    "desc" => "The navigation menu tabs at the top.",
    "id" => $shortname."_admin_heading",
    "type" => "info"),

    array( "name" => "Exclude",
    "desc" => "Enter a comma-separated list of Page IDs to be excluded from the main menu tabs (example - 5,9,22).",
    "id" => $shortname."_exclude_pages",
    "std" => "",
    "type" => "text"),

    array( "name" => "Sort by",
    "desc" => "'<strong>menu_order</strong>' - sorts the Pages by Page Order<br /> '<strong>post_title</strong>' - sorts Pages alphabetically (by title)<br /> '<strong>post_date</strong>' - sort Pages by their creation date.",
    "id" => $shortname."_sort_pages",
    "type" => "select",
    "std" => "menu_order",
    "options" => array("menu_order", "post_title", "post_date"))

    I hope this helps!

    Hi all

    I have been looking for the solution, but only found small hints here and there with no real complete guide on how to do it, so i have made a small one that should explain it in a simple way.

    (THIS IS BASED ON WP 2.8.6 AND BBPRESS 1.0.2 WITH WP INTEGRATION VIA BBPRESS ADMIN.) If you have older versions installed, i recommend to read this exelent post by ck: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101

    step one: Add this string to your bb-config file in your bbpress folder:

    require_once(‘/home/ your username/public_html/your wordpress folder/wp-blog-header.php’);

    NOTE: The path might be different from host to host, but this is what my path looks like……you get the idea ;O)

    step two:

    Go to your WP template folder, and open up the file: header.php from your chosen template.

    Copy over the content you want after the <BODY> tag, and copy it into your BBpress header.php template file after the <BODY> tag.

    What i did here was to take a backup of the original BBpress header.php file, so i could paste in the things i needed from this file to the new one i just

    created with the WP header content.

    step 3 your css files

    My approach to this was of course to take backup of both WP css and BB css files first. I used the BBpress css file as my main css file. I then took the css strings from the WP css file i needed, and simply copied them into my BBpress css file. In my case i needed the header and navigation strings.

    NOTE: You might also need to copy the WP css body string, if your BB css Body string has different font measures. Some use EM´s and some use %. This will affect how your fonts react.

    And that´s it folks. I hope you understand this, and if other people has something to add to this plz. do so we all can learn.

    I’m happy to hear it that way. After looking at bbShowcase, I just thought that it was done. I’d be so happy to see 1.2 come out. In fact, I can’t wait to see 2.0 – I’m sure it’ll have a stack of new features.

    But you’re right, and like I said as well, there’d be no good reason to end it.

    I know this is off-topic, but I’d just like to ask something. BuddyPress seems to be such a brilliant piece of software. Can it only be integrated with WordPress MU? Can it not run standalone? The whole idea for my site is to have a simple community-driven system for all areas of development. The forum seems to be doing the trick, and as good as it is, BuddyPress would cater for the concept so much better than bbPress does.

    Thanks for the optimism – I wasn’t worrying, however. :)

    It has been a while, since the alpha/RC-1 times, that we had a list of working plugins, so I thought to create a list of working plugins with the current version 1.0.2, that we can all add to, in order to help other users. Many plugins are listed as up to v. 9.0, but they do work with the latest release (that should be updated, so it doesn’t look like 1.0.2 has very little options…).

    Here is my list at the moment, planning on testing more.

    1 – Ajaxed Quote

    2 – Allow Images

    3 – BB Anonymous Posting

    4 – bbPress Recent Replies

    5 – bbPress signatures

    6 – bbPress Smilies

    7 – bbSocialize

    14 – Leaderboard

    15 – Live Comment Preview

    16 – Members Online

    17 – New User Notification Email

    18 – no duplicate email addresses

    I would be glad to help out in any way I can.

    I have an offline monthly fiction writers group I run, who coordinate via a bbPress forum. Administration of that’s been a breeze, and I can think of no better forum software to use. So I’ve had experience simply administering a bbPress installation (admittedly with only a couple of dozen active users).

    I’ve been creating custom themes & plugins for bbPress for a while for my own enjoyment, aiming to bend the software into new and interesting places. For instance

    1. making a very “blog-like” theme giving strong emphasis to opening posts with all replies looking like comments & discussion of the opening post
    2. writing and enhanced form of the RSS portion of the site to use bbPress as a super-flexible podcast hosting site generating iTunes compatible feeds
    3. Forum specific theming (a gaming site who wants an “XBox theme” active for certain forums, a “W.o.W theme” in others, etc)
    4. creating a fine-grained access control mechanism for forum/topic/board ownership and read/write privilages (to support separation of gaming forum admin, and multiple podcasters for 2 instances of its use)

    Prior to hacking on the bbPress codebase, plugins and themes I lived in WordPress land – themes and plugins – using it for blogs, CMS and podcast hosting.

    I write HTML/CSS/PHP for pleasure. Java/XML/etc is the day-job.

    Hi all

    I downloaded bbPress about a week and a bit ago, and I find it extremely user-friendly. It’s such a pity it had to come to an end.

    It’s also unfortunate to hear that it had ended mostly based on the fact that Sam left – a replacement could have been appointed to continue developing such great forum software.

    Unlike most forum software – bbPress is extremely easy to extend. This is one of the reasons I am using it. It’s compatibility is great.

    If I was able to – I would continue the development of bbPress myself – though it would not feel right as I am not part of Automattic, thus I do not have the rights to the source-code. All I can do for now is work on what I have, and continue using bbPress for as long as possible.

    At present, I run a [new] development community called dev:station (http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation), proudly powered by bbPress. The only reason I would switch from bbPress is to extend my concept in to a social-site, instead of a forum-based site.

    I really do hope that, in the future, bbPress will be re-incarnated – maybe as something completely new. In fact, if anything, that would be a good idea: Create a new package. Start from scratch.

    Furthermore, WordPress still uses bbPress for its forum – I doubt that it will be gone for too long.

    @buddha trance: I completely agree with you – I think we should keep it alive and kicking. If anything, Automattic may realize that bbPress should be in continual development. It would make me very happy, if not everyone else.

    Are you integrated with WordPress?

    What version bbPress did you install, and WordPress too if you did integrate?

    bbpress v1.0, WordPress v2.8.6

    Any plugins? What theme are you using?

    I did have some but disabled them all.

    Language other than English?

    No, just English

    When in doubt, post a link to your forum.

    http://www.highlysedated.com/bbpress

    I can register from WordPress but whenever i try to register from bbpress i get that error message.

    #81983

    @ shansta – The WordPress admin is a bbPress Keymaster. This is what I have, and all is working fine. I’m not sure about the a:2 you added, with both capabilities…

    wp_usermeta:

    wp_capabilities a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}

    bb_capabilities a:1:{s:9:”keymaster”;b:1;}

    Dashboard –> WordPress Integration

    WordPress Administrator –> bbPress Keymaster

    WordPress Editor –> bbPress Administrator

    WordPress Author –> bbPress Member

    WordPress Contributor –> bbPress Member

    WordPress Subscriber –> bbPress Member

    As hatter mentioned, login/logout problems are usually a cookie issue.
