As delayedinsanity said, check your SQL server settings, namely by looking at the wp-config.php for WordPress and checking the database, username and password match. If you have a WordPress page named ‘forums’ and a directory called ‘forums’ that contains your bbPress forum, WP’s .htaccess is set up to display the directory instead of the WP page. To make them look the same, you need to either use deep integration or modify your bbPress theme to look like WP’s.

I have a WordPress blog I am trying to put a bbpress forum into. The install instructions are opaque to say the least, it may be simple, fast and elegant but I am very confused as where to put the files when working with WordPress. I had a forums page set up as a WordPress page, if I put bbpress into that directory all I get is a list of files and not my WordPress page. When I get to the installer it then does not recognise the Database Name, User and Password. The instructions are written with prior knowledge but not tested on the range of possible users. Any help would be great. Thanks.

It works great if you’re running your forums as a sub-directory of your WP install, but it breaks as is if you’re trying to run your forums under a sub-domain.

Anybody who happens to know a work-around, feel free to check out: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-in-a-subdomain-on-a-wpmu-install

That last plugin hasn’t been updated since January and is only compatible up to wordpress 2.7. It only adds a default role to bbpress, but if you’ve matched your wordpress and bbpress roles, this isn’t necessary, if it ever was.

A plugin should not be necessary in order for someone to register on a wordpress blog or on bbpress. Under the Settings/General you have a place to set the default role for new members; Subscriber, Administrator, Editor, Author, or Contributor for wordpress and those roles can be matched up to bbpress roles under Settings/WordPress Integration.

aMember.com mentions wordpress integration but not bbpress on their site, so I think that might be the issue.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

I’m afraid options-wordpress.php is just the bbPress/WordPress options page and a bit of code. bbPress functions are under the includes directories.

[annejan]

I installed bbPress in the root of my website and WordPress is installed in the directory “/w”. Because I use WordPress functions in my bbPress theme I call the wp-blog-header.php in the bb-config.php with the following code:

if ( !defined('ABSPATH') & !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')) {

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);

include_once( '/home/forum/test/html/w/wp-blog-header.php' );

header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");

header("Status: 200 All rosy"); }

My .htaccess settings for WordPress:

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /w/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /w/index.php [L]

I hope you can help me. Thanks!!

[gerikg]

selcyis email me.

[wpJunkie]

Would it be in this file maybe? bb-admin/options-wordpress.php

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-admin/options-wordpress.php

Basically I want to make the inactive user to be a member by default.

[wpJunkie]

So I disabled aMember and activated the plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-bbpress-default-role/

Signed up for an account on http://example.com/wp-login.php?action=register

And the user got added to the BBpress user list but no role is set, its set to Inactive.

So its not aMember as far as I can tell. its something between WordPress and BBpress

[NateTraveller]

Hello!

I reccently had a problem with my site being hacked. I used SMF back then as forum, but when I got in to business of re-building the forum I got the advice to switch to bbPress (since I already used WordPress). The installation was smooth and it went fine.

However, now when it is up I miss a couple of functions that I guess I need to install plugins to have. I want…

1) …the users to be able to post images. The img-tag isn’t allowed from what I can see.

2) …that all user would have a postcounter by the left field where their name is shown.

3) …a possiblity to have buttons to display the tags for those who can’t write code. The usual mark a word, press a button and voilá! The word is bold.

Those are the most pressing matters. Have you any suggestions to what plugins I should use?

Thanks in advance!

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

It is to some extent. It’s called “deep integration” and it seems to work for some people, but not for others.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Okay, this is more of a WordPress/BuddyPress issue really, but get a login theming plugin. You could redirect /wp-login.php to /bb-login.php, but that would most likely screw things up.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Are you running any WordPress plugins that affect your registration process?

[gerikg]

would this work? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-bbpress-default-role/

[wpJunkie]

Hey there, So i’m 99.99 ready to launch but having an issue with WordPress, BBpress, aMember

New users that signs up can’t add a new topic to the forum, wordpress and bbpress are sharing the same database, I figured out what the issue is, When a new user gets added it doesn’t assign it a role in BBpress i.e. Member, I have to manually set it each time so that the user can post.

I have set the user roles in the BBpress/Wordpress integration area, See > http://helpdock.net/screenshots/c905c801ef699307e0874064f7d379fb.png

But as you can see here the any new users do not get roles and I have to manually change the role, See BBpress user > http://helpdock.net/screenshots/0fd8d331e62c872981a29d2f256e25aa.png

But in wordpress the new member does get a role See > http://helpdock.net/screenshots/e436685a6d598b9178f93b7dfefa322f.png

Any ideas why its BBpress isn’t assigning the user roles so that a user can post a new topic?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Where have you installed WordPress and bbPress relative to each other, and what actually are your .htaccess settings for WordPress?

Mine is just:

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

which seems to hand over nicely to the forums that are under /forums/ with their own .htaccess file

[MJ]

So, you basically need to setup your url with a www in front of the domain?

[MJ]

Im having the same issue. I setup

Everything correctly but nothing seems to work together.

Everything works great individually and its all updated to the newest versions.

Gerikg do you think you can take a look at my issue as well.

Thanks

http://phpxref.ftwr.co.uk/wordpress/nav.html?wp-includes/comment-template.php.source.html

In WordPress, comments_popup_link() takes three arguments that tell it how to format the output based on how many comments are present and runs a sprintf() with the appropriate output after retrieving the comment count.

The equivalent to get_comments_number in bbPress would be get_topic_posts, the rest of the function is either WordPress-specific or would need slight tweaking (like what the posts page would actually be).

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

register_globals is a gaping security flaw that’s been turned off in every recent PHP version. If you have it on, PHP takes anything passed by $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE and $_SERVER and turns them into global variables (i.e. ?book=1 in the $_GET array becomes $book = 1). I’d recommend turning it off ASAP.

The edit link turns itself off after a while, it’s not just limited to if anyone else has posted

Ah, and good luck integrating bb-load.php, I could never get it to even play nice with WordPress.

[Olaf Lederer]

Hi,

I see this template and function in all the WP themes, how does this work in wordpress?

Knowing this it might be possible fro bbpress too…

[boone-g]

I’m very glad to have found this discussion – after upgrading from WPMU 2.7.something to 2.8.4, the cookie swap stopped working, and I couldn’t find a good explanation anywhere until I found this thread. Upgrading from bbPress 1.0a6 to 1.0.2 fixed everything.

Thanks very much to the developers for playing catchup to WP’s cookie shenanigans.

[johnnydoe]

i’m looking for a way to use the same output like in wp for the comments like:

<?php comments_popup_link('no comments', 'one comment', ' % comments'); ?> instead of <?php forum_topics(); ?> <?php _e('post(s) or comment(s)'); ?> .

so is there a php pendant in bbpress to count comments or posts the wordpress way?

thank’s in advance

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

<?php if ( !bb_current_user_can('manage_options') ) : ?>

GOOOOOGLE 

<?php endif; ?>

or

<?php if ( !bb_current_user_can('manage_options') ) { ?>

GOOOOOGLE 

<?php } ?>

bbPress/WordPress have a boolean function for pretty much everything

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Ah the plugin is intended for WordPress installs only I’m afraid.

A quick way of doing it:

In your bbPress directory, make a file called javascript.php containing:

<?php



// Taken from index.php

// Load everything up



require('./bb-load.php');



do_action( 'bb_index.php_pre_db' );



$forums = bb_get_forums(); // Comment to hide forums

if ( $topics = get_latest_topics( false, $page ) ) {

bb_cache_last_posts( $topics );

}



bb_load_template( 'html_include.php' );



?>

then in your template directory, make a file called html_include.php containing:

<?php if ( $forums && $topics ) : ?>

<table id="latest_discussions">

<tr>

<th><?php _e('Topic'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Posts'); ?></th>

<!-- <th><?php _e('Voices'); ?></th> -->

<th><?php _e('Last Poster'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Freshness'); ?></th>

</tr>



<?php foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<tr>

<td><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></td>

<td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<!-- <td class="num"><?php bb_topic_voices(); ?></td> -->

<td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>" title="<?php topic_time(array('format'=>'datetime')); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; // $topics loop ?>

</table>

<?php else : ?>

No discussions.

<?php endif; ?>

and finally, in the page where you want to load the list, put something like:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>

<script>$.get("javascript.php",  { rand: Math.random() }, function(data){ document.getElementById('latest').innerHTML = data; } );</script>

<div id="latest"></div>

Old-fashioned way of loading the HTML in there and use a local copy of jQuery or whatever library you use, but that’s the general idea really.

html_include.php is just a cut down version of front-page.php so you can edit it the same as any other template. javascript.php doesn’t load in stickies, but that’s just how I felt like doing things, it’s a cut down version of index.php so it’s easy enough to put back.

Even more cut down version of html_include.php (so you really do just get a list):

<?php if ( $forums && $topics ) : ?>

<ul>

<?php foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<li><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></li>

<?php endforeach; // $topics loop ?>

</ul>

<?php else : ?>

No discussions.

<?php endif; ?>
