Okay I think I got it. Thanks to Kernpunt (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/first-pass-at-a-fix-for-deep-integration-in-trunk#post-55915) I didn’t have access to the error logs.
I deactivate both plugin from both sides (for now).
I didn’t have clue what it was. I thought it was because my php memory was limited.
Now I’m integrating BBpress theme into WP!
Ruby on Rails has some stuff to allow memcached storage of user sessions:
http://awesomerails.wordpress.com/2008/06/26/memcache-sessions-in-rails/
@finalwebsite – _ck_ is a female developer.
I was referring to her statements that “the performance boost will be trivial, almost non-existent for a single server setup” and ” Memcache is only beneficial for multi-server systems, it’s why it was invented in the first place.” But ymmv!
Depends. Where do you want them to appear in BBpress and what part of your blog do you want to link to?
Hi,
I dont know if I min the right category but i didn’t know where o post something like this.
We ve got a website with joomla and we are making the new one in wordpress.
Everything till now is ok.
Our problem is how to transfer the forum.
It is no need to keep all the data or the user’s accounts, so we said only to transfer the posts and the categories, and offcourse some details about the posts , like date time and person name.
We thought to make a new user named “old forum” and link to him all the posts that are not written by the admin.
Here come the questions(?)
How i can link in the database the posts and the categories?
Which tables do i have to use?
Is something like this possible?
Thank you in advance,
Dinos
I’ve abandoned this idea now. Until BBPress makes this ALOT easier to achieve sometime in the future.
I added a link to the forum on the mainsite, and it opens in a new window. Looks good.
That’s not half bad. Thanks a lot for the link! I really appreciate it.
I’d create one myself, but sadly I think it’s a bit beyond my ability to do so.
I am definitely drawn to simple and clean designs. I really dislike bulletin boards with flames, stars, folders, happy faces, lots of colors, etc.
How do you add links back to your wordpress site?
Sam had some thoughts on how bbPress 1.0/Backpress enabled the WordPress memcached plugin here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/topic-query-count-in-alpha-10-any-progress#post-19600
_ck_ also had some thoughts on how memcached would or wouldn’t increase performance (although it sounds like performance isn’t your main goal in making the switch):
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/covert-wp-super-cache-plug-in-for-bbpress/page/2#post-38232
Good luck – and keep us posted on how it goes!
yes right the theme from the MU forum looks great.
Mooks, why not changing the basic theme too looks like this one?
@usera
Instead of memcache, output caching might be a better option for non-logged in user. Something like WordPress’ SuperCache plugin.
More information can be found about this discussion here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/covert-wp-super-cache-plug-in-for-bbpress#post-37072
Essentially, a lot of people would love the SuperCache plugin to be converted for use with bbPress … but no one has yet committed to performing the work needed to convert the plugin
I did this at http://aberean.org and http://forum.aberean.org
I used the WP Plugin (page links to) and then added a new page named forum to my WP site with a redirect (Page links to) to my forum.
With the forum I had to manually add links in the footer (or header) to link back. It was pretty easy and I think it looks ok. I have not themed the forum to mimic WP as of yet, to much else to do first!
Can someone tell me what’s the status with bbpress and memcache? I see backpress is meant to unify memcache in both installations but is there a working beta to get both working? I currently using version two of the object-cache on my wordpress and unfortunately i suppose that is what is causing the problem with the bbpress integration plugin. Any clues or more info?
Thank you.
Hi There,
I was looking into bbpress, but I hadn’t really seen any themes that caught my attention with the exception of the theme at the following:
http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/forum/5
In my opinion, it is the simplest and cleanest of all themes I’ve seen. Is there a theme like this available for download? Most of the other bbpress themes I’ve seen look too busy and cluttered, and prefer the simple and clean look of the aforementioned.
Thanks in advance for replies.
Try define( 'BBDB_HOST', '0.0.0.0' );
my-templates are 750, you’re saying it should be 755? Does that apply to my-plugins too?
Anyone want to tackle my other problem? (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpressmu-bbpress-theme)
OK should be simple right? Worked when I did it locally using MAMP and all was fine, then going live uploaded and …. nothing just the ‘ERROR: Could not establish a database connection’ message.
WP is installed in the main directory and bb press is in lalala.com/forum
I’ve gone over the wp-config files and they are the same, any ideas guys?
// ** MySQL settings for BB** //
define( ‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘lalalala_live’ );
define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘barry’ );
define( ‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘****’ );
define( ‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’, ‘0.0.0.0’ );
define( ‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’ );
define( ‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ” );
$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;
// ** MySQL settings for wordpress ** //
define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); //Added by WP-Cache Manager
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘lalalala_live’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘barry’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘****’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘0.0.0.0’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;
I only used Vanilla for a couple hours. I have a knee-jerk reaction to most code and if I don’t enjoy using it right away, or have issues setting it up/themeing it how I want, it gets dumped.
And I’m not comfortable telling you strengths and weaknesses because they’re subjective. Seriously, I say it a lot but it’s true.
Me? I don’t like PMs and reporting posts, membership ‘levels’ and all that hoopla. So for me, bbPress is great because it’s small, simple and I can write plugins for it since I’m familiar with WordPress. But see how subjective that is? You may want those things and see it as a weakness that bbPress doesn’t have them.
Knowing what each products strengths and weakness will help determine if it fits needs.
I think you’re doing it backwards. Start with a list of your needs and your wants. Then go ask each place ‘Can you do this and if so, how hard is it?’
My original post is simply trying to understand *what* makes one of these forums systems better than another (pro/cons).
I’ve said this many times before: It all depends on your needs in a forum.
I’m not trying to avoid the subject, I just think it’s SO subjective that there is no answer. _ck_’s needs are different from mine, mine are different from yours. We may all have some things in common, but not all. Make a list of what’s important to you and then go find a forum that fits the bill. There is no one answer that forum A is better than B and they’re both better than C but worse than D except if you want to do foo and bar … You see how that gets weird? 
I didn’t like Vanilla when I tested it, and I certainly didn’t find it easy to integrate with WordPress. In fact, their Single Sign On page says it’s still in Beta.
Also most apps talk like their competitors don’t exist not to be mean, but because it quickly turns into bashing and no one likes that. The beauty of open-source is that anyone can do anything with everything

I’m not saying that I like/dislike Vanilla more than bbPress.
Just watching that video on ReadWriteWeb, Mark makes some pretty big claims about Vanilla and it’s use.
My original post is simply trying to understand *what* makes one of these forums systems better than another (pro/cons).
I’m particular integrued as to Vanilla claims that they are the “WordPress.com of forums systems” and how they integrate soooooo easily with WordPress.
Mark, Vanilla founder, talks as though bbPress doesn’t even exist.
@_ck_
According to this video interview by RedWriteWeb, Mozilla.com, OReilly.com and others use Vanilla
http://www.readwriteweb.com/readwritestart/2009/06/vanilla-forums.php
What’s interesting is the founder, Mark, goes on to call Vanilla the “WordPress of forums”
Same problem!
WordPress 2.8.x
BBpress 1.0.2
Just did a completely clean install. No plugins even, yet…and the theme thumbnails aren’t available and when i activate any of them i just get a generic page with no css or layout of any kind.
What gives?
http://www.oktearoom.com/forum
at WPMU told me to check the error log, how do I do that on BBpress?
@gerikg – there’s no prohibition so far as I know about putting a link to another software package. I can’t speak officially, but I’ve never seen one removed. We’re all just looking for the right tool for the job.
