I have a website on which WPMU is installed. I downloaded BuddyPress & installed it. I went to set up a group & I was told to download & install bbPress. So I did.

I originally installed it in the bbPress folder, and I went through the install process. Then I decided I wanted the folder to be named forums, so I ended up deleting the bbPress folder. I used phpMyAdmin to remove the bbPress tables from my WordPressMU database. Then I created a forums folder, copied bbPress into it & went through the setup process again. Everything completed with no errors.

I set up the integration of database & cookies with WordPressMU. No errors were reported.

I can go into the one forum that the install process created & I can read it. Haven’t tried adding any posts to it or replying to the one post it created. I did, however, try going into the Admin page. It won’t open. I just keep getting sent back to http://churchonhigherground.org/forums/.

Any ideas?

Hm… That might be work. But there´s no way to handle this like in wordpress? For example you can pass arguments before and after the tag and also define a separator. Like this: <php the_tags('Tags:', ', ', ''); ?>

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.

ok thx

Hello, I’m using wordpress + bbpress integrated and I want that the user profile page (for example, when you click on the profile in the comments) was the one for them both, preferably the WP profile page. Is there any plugins which makes this possible or may be someone could say how to do it, i think it’s not so difficult.

Thank you and sorry for my english.

[johnhiler]

You could check if they left any comments? If you’re integrated with WordPress though, you’ll also want to check if they left comments there too!

[kickerman360]

Hey thanks _ck_

I found this snippet of code

<?php global $user_identity;

get_currentuserinfo();

if ($user_identity == ”) {

echo(‘Welcome Guest’);

} else {

echo(‘<img src=”/forum/avatars/’ . strtolower($user_identity) . ‘” alt=”avatar” />’);

}

?>

Which doesn’t cause an error but doesn’t display an image. I don’t think a file type is being declared which results in a 404 and then the alt text is displayed.

I did however come up with this, which is a modded version (to be used on a homepage)

<?php echo(‘<img src=”/forums/avatars/’ . $current_user->user_login . ‘.jpg” />’); ?>

<?php echo(‘<img src=”/forums/avatars/’ . $current_user->user_login . ‘.png” />’); ?>

<?php echo(‘<img src=”/forums/avatars/’ . $current_user->user_login . ‘.gif” />’); ?>

<?php echo(‘<img src=”/forums/avatars/’ . $current_user->user_login . ‘.jpeg” />’); ?>

I’m not sure how to find out the file extension via php so I just created 3 extra lines of code for the 4 types of files the form should accept.

If anyone wants to clean up my code I’d greatly appreciate it, I’m only just learning php (noob ) after playing with CSS and (x)HTML for a while. I know, the code will not be valid.

Thanks again, _ck_ ( I didn’t realize there was 2 help forums for that plugin)

Why does bbPress make the directories using PHP and not just include empty directories in the download?

I thought at first that WordPress shipped a couple empty directories/folder, but it doesn’t appear to. So how can WordPress get this correct (creating directories as needed) and bbPress not, on the same host? Is it as Sam says, choosing security over usability (and in the process making it completely unusable)?

[John James Jacoby]

Just finally got around to doing this. The .htaccess method worked awesomely.

To clarify for anyone else reading this, you’ll want to put the above .htaccess code in your WordPress .htaccess file, because that’s where the bbPress requests will still be hitting. You can remove the .htaccess file in your bbPress directory using this method.

[chrishajer]

So you installed bbPress into a different database from WordPress, but you previously integrated the users, so bbPress is already using the wp_users table?

[chrishajer]

This site isn’t too bad:

http://www.w3schools.com/css/

But if you just search the internet, you will find lots of tutorials and references. You’ve already gone about modifying your template files, so modifying the CSS is not going to be too difficult for you.

[chrishajer]

The problem for a plugin author, as I see it, is that you can follow RSS feeds for each of your plugins, in the plugin forum, but you can’t catch every topic posted in the forums here that mentions your plugin.

WordPress.org has a pretty good method of tagging the support topics with [Plugin-Name] so you can follow an RSS feed for an individual plugin in the support forums. That doesn’t exist here. I often wonder how they enforce consistency for plugin names in those tags.

Actually, maybe they don’t. These are all about All in One SEO pack from Michael Torbert.

https://wordpress.org/tags/all-in-one-seo

https://wordpress.org/tags/all-in-one-seo-2

https://wordpress.org/tags/all-in-one-seo-3

[Plugin All In One SEO]

[PLUGIN: All-in-One SEO]

Plugin: All in One SEO

So, maybe they don’t. Seeing this, I think it would be much easier for a plugin author to follow the RSS feed for their page, and not try to watch the forums for mentions of their plugins.

[chrishajer]

There’s no need to have all those folders. Just put bbPress into a folder called whatever you want (forums?) and call it a day.

If you took the database connection details from your wp-config.php, be sure you don’t copy the CONSTANT names as well, just the variable part (the part about your database.) The constants are named differently in bb-config.php and wp-config.php.

If you copied over just the variable portion, then you did something wrong because it will connect in both places (WordPress and bbPress) if you have the connection details correct. It’s telling you right here that it’s not.

I believe the plugin page for Avatar Upload has a few suggestions as to how to use it in WordPress.

You can also find other help via this tag

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/avatar-upload

[Tommie Hansen]

Yes, you’ll just have to fetch the username and then have the same username in bbPress and then edit your comments-template.php inside your WordPress template. I don’t have the time to fully explain it though, but i will do it myself soon actually so…

Hi everyone,

I’ve a problem with the Bavatars Plugin in bbPress 1.0.1 – integrated with WordPress 2.8 (User). I’dont understand where is the Link to the Upload-Page? I can’t see no effect on the Profil-Edit-Page. Do I miss something?

On http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bavatars/ I found an entry about the differance between Bavatar and Avatar Upload. One thing there was the statement: Avatar Upload is different because “Avatar Upload requires template editing.”

Where lies my fault?!

Greetings Markus

Hi,

I was wondering how I could display the bbPress plugin, Avatar Upload, in WordPress. Software: bbPress 1.0.1, WordPress 2.8.1

I am using bbPress as the profile’s home so to speak since I’d rather not use WordPress’ Dashboard and want to display the avatar of the user on the home page.

I have done deep integration both ways by using this snippet of code in [wp/bb]-config.php

if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) ) {

include_once( ‘/home/path/to/forums/[bb/wp]-load.php’ );

}

Then pasted this bit of code where I want the avatar.

<?php avatarupload_get_avatar(ID); ?>

However, as I expected it doesn’t work with the error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function avatarupload_display() in blah3 on line x

I tried adding <?php bb-head ?> and <?php if ( bb_is_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?> to the header but both result in an error

I am no programmer but I don’t think bbPress is being load correctly. Can anyone offer a solution or some advice?

[Rohan Kapoor]

Hey you need to integrate the cookies using the plugin bbpress Integration for WordPress. Just google it and insert the code the plugin gives you into the wp-config.php and bb-config.php files.

So… I’m thinking the secret lies somewhere here:

bb-includes/functions.bb-users.php Lines 171+:

if ( count( $wordpress_roles_new ) ) {

bb_update_usermeta( $user, $wordpress_table_prefix . 'capabilities', $wordpress_roles_new );

bb_update_usermeta( $user, $wordpress_table_prefix . 'user_level', max( $wordpress_userlevels_new ) );

Can I just change the 3rd argument to keep it null?

Of course, there is also the next few lines dealing with: function bb_apply_wp_role_map_to_orphans()

In short — how can I prevent bbpress from messing with my WPMU settings ever!? And I mean – never ever! If I want to change the MU settings, I’ll do it in MU.

Bad bbpress! No! Bad program. Go to your room.

Even when a new user registers in BBpress – let em be orphaned in MU… whats the harm?

(Stop… think… how will the affect cookies… if a user goes to MU, and there is no setting for them, but they have a shared cookie saying they are logged in, MU will FREAK OUT!… So, something needs to change on MU’s end to say: if this happens, (cookie says logged in, but no role for you!) no biggie, stay cool, just pretend the user is not logged in…. Oooooh…. am I on to something?)

[Wattskemov]

I find the AUTH_SALT etc. in my wp-config.php file. But I still can’t share the cookies after I have done all stuff.

Here is my bbPress admin image:

http://www.waterlin.org/tmp/bbPress_Cookies_integration.png

I notice that there is on sentence in bbPress document:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

Here is the sentence:

---

This feature requires your WordPress and bbPress installations to exist in the same domain name, or at least in sub-domains of the same domain name.

---

I install WPMU into the root of my virtual host; then I install bbPress into the path /forum/

I don’t know if bbPress will work when it is in the sub-folder of WPMU?

[johnhiler]

What versions of bbPress and WordPress MU are you using?

[Driftless]

Hi – there are several threads relating to this. Short answer:

The multiple keys are used in both — notably in bb-config.php:

define( ‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx’ );

define( ‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx’ );

define( ‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx’);

Should match the similar keys (of the five or so) listed in your wp-config.php file.

It’s frustratingly awkward to install isn’t it. I hope this improves somehow. I managed it once before after (a long time spent) integrating it with WordPress but now I want to install it again as a stand-alone I’m finding it near impossible to get past “There was a problem connecting to the database you specified. Please check the settings, then try again”. These forums are near useless too.

[mdtreo]

i’ve read through the forums to no avail. here’s the scenario…i have wordpress installed and hosted. right now the database is set up as http://mydomain.com/wordpress. i created a new directory called “forums” and installed bbpress in that folder. then i go to http://mydomain.com/wordpress/forums/bbpress (which is crazy) to proceed with the install. i enter the dabase name, database user name and password which i’m taking directly from the wp-config file and i get “There was a problem connecting to the database you specified. Please check the settings, then try again.” I’m assuming either the directory set up is wrong or i’m entering the wrong database info. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
