hey I am having troubles here too: my issue – I have generated the eight secret keys in both config files, made sure user role for user 1 is keymaster in database, using same table prefix in both config files, done the bbpress integration plugin in wp – combed the forums and thought I was following to a t all the instructions – left out www from all entered URLs – and here is what i keep running into (sixth install now):

I can log into bbpress as keymaster, but when I try to log in to wordpress, it says: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

needless to say, i want to scream. From the above info, any thoughts on what could be throwing this off? I’m really frustrated that there seems to be no current section of bbpress documentation that thoroughly goes through, step by step, given the large amount of issues people seem to be running into with integration. thanks.

wpconfig.php in the WP root. bb-config.php in bbpress root. Advance is only for people who uses two different databases.

[c4central]

gerikg, when you say enter all the information there, do I need to enter the “advanced information”?

The tutorial from ashfame says to do that (I think).

Also, when you say open wp-config I assume you are talking about the php file that is installed in the root directory called wp-config.php?

I apologize in advance for my seeming stupid. I am very intelligent and learn quickly, but I am far from a computer programmer.

THANKS!

[c4central]

ashfame – it was your tutorial that I tried so many times.

When I say the login doesn’t work, I mean when I try to login to bbpress it says the user “admin” doesn’t exist!

ashfame, I also sent you an email after trying your tutorial over and over, asking for help.

gerikg, I will give that a try. I did not upgrade from an old wordpress, this is a fresh installation. I should have a few minutes to try that this afternoon.

Once we get this up and running, maybe you guys can point me in the right direction to get the themes/header matching. Actually, that is a project for another day

I’ll post my results!

[gerikg]

Use this link: https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt It has 8 keys.

NOTE: do NOT use any “www.” anywhere when entering information.

1. Open wp-config line replace your new keys with the one from that link. (lines 55-61)

2. Copy the same keys to bb-config just add BB_ after define(‘ in each key so it will be define('BB_AUTH_KEY', '(lines 41-44)

3. Install & activate BBpress Intergration plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/

4. Get the information from the plugin and put it in line 20 in wp-config and line 13 in bb-config. (if you’re using WPMU take out the HASH line when you put it in bb-config)

5. Log into your BBpress admin section and navigate to SETTINGS -> WORDPRESS INTEGRATION enter all the information it ask for, save.

6. Clear you cache and you should be ready to go.

If you upgraded from a previous WP version take out define( 'WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1 ); because it doesn’t work on 2.8.4

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Try as per my tutorial – http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/07/integrate-bbpress-10-with-wordpress-28/

What do ya mean by login doesn’t work?

[gerikg]

There are a million factors. I’ll write somethings I found helping people on this…

[c4central]

Guys, I know there are umpteen million threads about this on here, and I think I have read all of them. I cannot get wordpress and bbpress to integrate for the life of me!

I have my wordpress blog all setup, and I have bbpress setup and installed as well. I am using wordpress 2.8.4, and bbpress 1.0.2. WordPress is installed at the root (http://www.mysite.com is wordpress) and bbpress is installed at http://www.mysite.com/forums. I know how to create the page linking to the forum, and I have actually already done that.

My problem is that when I go through the bbpress/wordpress integration, when I hit “save settings” in bbpress it logs me out, and my login no longer works. IT IS KILLING ME!

I have tried this 6 times, and I have had another person (with more experience than me) try this twice. We both ended up with the same result.

Is this working and I am somehow missing the fact that it’s working? Why does my bbpress login get wiped out?

I need the most basic of step by step instructions apparently.

Thanks in advance.

[brightcoconut]

I’m having this exact problem.

Fresh install of 1.0.2, integrated with WordPress (finally!), and even though I deactivated all plugins and tested it again, and it’s still doing it.

Any ideas?

[chrishajer]

Yes, that’s fine. If you create a Page in WordPress called Forums (actually the slug just needs to be forums), you don’t even need any content on the page. WordPress will direct traffic there. That works with permalinks on. Not sure what happens if you don’t use permalinks. If you don’t create a Page called Forums, with a slug of forums, then you just won’t have a link in your menu to the forums. There are plugins to get around that though, if you need it. Try the Page first though and see if it works.

[relish1227]

Hello — can someone please help?

I have WordPress installed already — and I’m not sure where I’m supposed to install bbpress exactly. When people say they installed it “inside WP” do you mean that you just created a new folder in the root of the site where WP already exists?

Like if my site is http://www.mysite.com — can I create a folder at http://www.mysite.com/forums/ — and WordPress will be able to link to it properly?

Thanks much.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

This works for me quite well. May be you are doing something wrong!

[gerikg]

delete bb-config.php and start over or change the settings on the admin section under setting wordpress integration.

[chandersbs]

Actually I don’t. I tried your code, but its still showing the same.

[nada122]

Hey there,

I made a mistake during the installation and would like to go back to the screen that allows you to integrate with WordPress. I think I put bbpress in the wrong page on my site. How can I go back and fix this?

Thanks!

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

SELECT * FROM bb_forums WHERE forum_id <> 1 AND forum_id <> 2 AND topics <> 0 ORDER BY forum_order ASC LIMIT 10

Got the idea?

[chandersbs]

How exactly can I exclude some forums for showing up in this code, that generates a list of forums, or rather, HOW can i show only selected forums?

<?php if ( $topic ) : ?>

<h2>Forum List</h2>

<ul>

<?php

global $bbdb;

$query="SELECT * FROM bb_forums WHERE topics!=0 ORDER BY forum_order ASC LIMIT 10";

$results=$bbdb->get_results($query);

foreach ($results as $result) {

echo "<li><a href='/forum.php?id=".$result->forum_id."'>".$result->forum_name."</a></li>";

}

?>

</ul>

<?php endif; ?>

[kingscast]

I am looking to create a custom theme for bbPress and I need assistance. This is a very simple gig as it will not be feature-rich and will only be bbPress (we have not integrated the WordPress part into it. In other words, users will be directed right into bbPress). I am on an extremely short timeline for this. This would be a paid gig. Please email keithkorneluk_at_gmail_dot_com.

Thanks!

[joseffb]

I’m not able to get WPMU 2.8.4 and BP 1 to SSO at all. I tried and can’t get it to work any help would be grateful.

I have the multi-domain plugin setup and also have the bbpress-integrate plugin in the “plugins” directory.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

function do_action($tag, $arg = '')

do_action() has an arguments variable as it’s 2nd argument, sorry for not being clearer. That’s passed when it runs an action function and if nothing is passed, it defaults to an empty string.

$bb_table_prefix would be the prefix for the bbPress tables though, wouldn’t it? In the case of a WP/bbP integration, the bbPress user data is stored in the WordPress user tables, so those aren’t under the same prefix as the bbPress tables. Unless it changes automatically for WordPress user tables somehow?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Howdy!

I would like to showoff my new project

Need A Project – http://needaproject.com/ (WordPress)

NAP Forums – http://needaproject.com/discussion/ (bbPress)

P.S. => They are not deeply integrated.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome!

email me I’ll look at it my user name at gmail dot com.

I just recently upgraded to WP 2.8 and am facing this problem again. It’s happened before and I fixed it because values in both WP and BB were different, however this time they’re the same. I can only be logged into one script at a time, either WP or BB. Logging into WP logs me out of BB and vice-versa. My auth and all those things are set as the same in each respective config file, and I have the proper code inserted into my wp-config file from the bbIntegration plugin, so I don’t know the problem.

If anybody can help, here’s the forum: http://scrawlfx.com/forum

[Mark Kehn]

I have this exact same problem as Sharpmouth in his first post up top here. EXACT, same error messages, same line numbers everything. DITTO for the second image he posted.

I also did the integration with wordpress during the install of bbpress and I followed it exactly, I had no trouble whatsoever, I skipped nothing but after clicking the final button to finish the installation I got the message it installed, but with errors.

@ ashfame you said, “Possibility is that you missed out something as the tutorial works flawlessly.”

I think your comment was snarky in my opinion. The tutorial got me through the installation but it doesn’t mean it worked flawlessly because following the instructions still ended up with results at end of install. Truth is I don’t think these errors have anything to do with the documentation on how to install, it has to do with the bbpress code itself. The code is broke regardless what a piece of paper (the tutorial) says about it.

@SharpMouth – your final message says you got it to work but to me it only sounds like a bandaid but the issue is still there even though you figured a way to hide the messages. You said you fixed it, does that mean you can click on the links to go to the bbpress Admin area or to LogOut, LogIn without getting the “headers already sent out” garbage?

How did you turn off error reporting? Better yet, what steps exactly did you take to fix everything to finally get it all to work? Remember, I am having the exact same results as you after the install, so please tell me what you did to get everything to work for you. Much appreciated, thanks.

Here are some extra screenshots, ones that SharpMouth didn’t post himself when he was having issues.

This first one was barely visible it had the error messages as white text on white background so I selected all the text so you could read it.

These next two are just showing the installation log. I blacked out personal info not needed by you.

For the screenshot below – As you see here in the red message box it says it completed but with minor errors. It isn’t referring to the error messages I highlighted in the first screenshot it is referring to the error about keymaster email not going out.
