I found some older posts about similar problems to this, but nothign that really helped, plus they were all for the 0.x versions and I am using 1.x which I am guessing may be different.

I have combined bbpress and wordpress databases (WP 2. and all members have been set to inactive status. But I can’t find anything in Mysql to cause this, so can’t globally change them all to member status. They all seem to have the same bb_capabilities value as the couple of members who I have manually made to ‘member’ status, so that doesn’t help.

And I have thousands of members so manually changing them all through the admin interface seems to be a nightmare.

Can someone tell me what database fields to change to make a member to be a ‘member’ status please?

Thanks.

The plugin doesn’t add define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1); to your bb-config.php file. It’s very easy to miss that

Total newbie here, but I’m a blogger using WordPress 2.8.x who is thinking of adding a discussion forum to my site.

I am NOT a coder whatsoever, so please keep that in mind when answering, although I do have a friend who is one but I would need to be conscientous about using his time.

My question is whether bbPress 1.0 will easily integrate with WP 2.8.x as I have it currently configured. Obviously I’d want it to look similar to my site and have all the standard forum bells/whistles.

If not, does anyone have any other suggestions? I just began researching forums today. I’ve come across IPB and phpBB as other options, but again, I have no idea how easy it would be to integrate those.

Any help you can give would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks.

Hi !

First, I’m verry sorry for my english, but I’m a french user of bbpress

So.

I have a wordpress website, and I delete the username restrictions ( no : @ ect on the username ).

But, when a user who has a username with special characters ( like : ) tries to login on bbpress, bbpress says that the user doesn’t exist.

How to delete this restriction and resolve this problem ?

Thanks !

Anybody?

He also said:

I have already installed the plugin bbPress Integration for WordPress.

which implies that he already added the code,

[Rohan Kapoor]

I wouldn’t use this. I’m deep integrating myself but for beginners, it will work.

[Raize]

Unfortunately that plugin doesn’t work with WordPress 2.8…few things are broken

[Raize]

It’s not an ideal solution, but good enough for beginners who just want to embed a forum into their blog. Thanks for posting

And he said:

I have already installed the plugin bbPress Integration for WordPress. I can’t find anything wrong during my installation. I think maybe I need to upgrade my WPMU to 2.8.

Which implies that he’s on 2.7.x

[Rohan Kapoor]

Only needed if you are running 2.7.1

[Rohan Kapoor]

This plugin was created to allow bbPress to be administered from the WordPress and WordPress MU Administration Panels. It is a very basic plugin and uses iframes to provide access to bbPress. It is known to compatible with WordPress and WordPress 2.8.1 and bbPress 1.0.1. As it just uses iframes to connect to bbPress, ideally, it will still be compatible with all upcoming versions of bbPress and WordPress.

This plugin is created by me.

I’ve tried copying the coding from wordpress header into the header in bbpress.

I’m using the unstable beta bbpress and WordPress 2.7.1

Hi. Perhaps I’m having a mental block, but I’m unable to figure this out…

I have bbpress installed at forum.mysite.com/forum

I want the forum to be displayed when when people navigate simply to forum.mysite.com

wordpress has a way of retrieving the forum outside the root, and then setting the URL.

what do i have to put in my /index.php file to make this happen for bbpress?

Thanks,

Paris

[chrishajer]

What have you tried already?

What version of WordPress and bbPress are you using?

[andywilliams244]

I’m having major trouble trying to get my wordpress navigation bar onto my bbpress board.

Can anybody provide a step by step tutorial for me? I would be forever grateful

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Do you have this in your bb-config.php:

define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1);

[mattlay]

I thought I had read they are working to make them integrate, navigation wise, does anyone know if this is a current priority or something that will occur further down the road?

At least they both use the same theme layout. This should make the process easier (easy is relative). I would love to be able to use a single theme and have it applied to my forum.

IIS is configured for several websites, each with it’s own ip address allocated. The URL I’m using to configure bbpress is http://newintranet.savethechildren.org.uk/forums/bb-admin/install.php

The ‘newintranet’ website is allocated ip address 10.1.10.49

The mysql settings in the bb-config file is as follows:

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘bbpress’);

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘Forum’);

// the user Forum has been granted all privileges to the bbpress db

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘Forum’);

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

// mysql is installed on the same IIS server listening on ip 10.1.10.53 standard port 3306

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ‘utf8_general_ci’);

[chrishajer]

What is the URL that’s being displayed? Can you paste the link here?

[mdtreo]

http://bumpyknuckle.com/wordpress is the url to my site.

[mdtreo]

still no luck. i created the “forums” folder and i go to http://mydomain.com/forums/bbpress for the installer. all i’m entering is the direct info for database name and user name. for instance, database name is mydatabase12345678 (this is the name my host set up) and my user name is the same as the datbase name. i then enter the password and i get the same error. a note, my site is url is http://mydomain.com/wordpress. i don’t know if having it located at the wordpress folder makes a difference or not. regardless, i don’t know what move to make next.

I have a link to my forum in my global nav by creating an empty page with a slug that is the same as the directory name as where I have bbpress installed.

But I also load the wp-load.php file in my bb-config.php file

define('WP_BB', true);

if ( !defined('DB_NAME') ) {

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wordpress/wp-config.php');

}

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; // your wordpress db prefix is

$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.trashfilmorgy.com/wordpress';

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://www.trashfilmorgy.com';

Then I went into my bbpress theme and changed every instance of bb_get_header() with get_header(), and bb_get_footer() with get_footer().

Since I want to have my wordpress sidebars show up in the forum, too, I also added get_sidebar() right above the call to get_footer().

I could also add other sidebars, too – the theme I use adds two columns below the main content area and uses the dynamic sidebar functionality to add them in to each page. I could see how adding other or more sidebars and going in to the templates could be really useful

Hi, I’m attempting to install bbpress on Windows Server 2003 Ent SP2, IIS6, MySQL 5.1.34 community, PHP 5.2.9-2:

I have followed this guide to installing & configuring PHP: http://www.peterguy.com/php/install_IIS6.html

Step 1 – bb-config.php succeeds

Step 2 – skipping wordpress integration as don’t have this installed

On clicking Goto Step 3, the installation doesn’t get anywhere and the browser returns:

“Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:

You are not connected to the Internet.

The website is encountering problems.

There might be a typing error in the address. “

Any help please?
