although it may be a little put of date now, the principles are the same.

[deanes02]

Its just not working! Please help.

define( 'BB_AUTH_SALT', '' );

define( 'BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT', '' );

define( 'BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT', '' );

define('BB_NONCE_KEY',       '');

matches it wp-config equivalent (with values obviously).

Used the bbPress Integration plugin to get new values for the wp-config file and entered them

/*** bbPress integration ***/

define( 'COOKIEHASH', '998c6cb0a1fda1b22e40b1a75220d390' );

define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.www.MYSITE.com' );

define( 'SITECOOKIEPATH', '/' );

define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' );

define( 'WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1 );

I have checked through all the settings in bbPress WordPress Integration settings (in bbPress) and they all look correct.

XML-RPC is enabled.

I have seen that oterh people seem to be able to get this working. I have followed a few of these guides, but still can’t get it to work.

Would be great if you have any ideas! Thanks!

I am setting up bbpress with WPMU intergration.

A couple of things are not so clear.

1. In cookie settings under WordPress “logged in” cookie salt it asks for a setting of “logged_in_salt” and gives a URL to my admin options to get it – onlt it isn’t on that page at all which is confusing. It says If you leave this blank the installer will try to fetch the value based on your WordPress database integration settings – which I can only hope it will.

2. Then in Show advanced database settings I came across something I had not know or considered. Can I give the forum the same database as my WP and enter the same settings in the set up? I have set up another DB for bbpress but it would seem to make sense to share the membership. Is it too late to change the DB here if so?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

All done by now. Just wanted to share the upgrading instructions I wrote yesterday : http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/07/upgrade-existing-integrated-installations-of-wordpress-bbpress/

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Follow my tutorial http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/07/integrate-bbpress-10-with-wordpress-28/

and it should be fine. If not then let me know.

[eneko.astorkiza]

I have the same problem. I have integrated them and i can use wordpress users to login, but if i logon to wordpress i’m not loged into bbpress

Wp –> 2.8

bbpress –> 1.0.1

[chrishajer]

What versions of bbPress and WordPress did you install?

[Marcomail]

Could be an idea add related forum post in a wordpress entry using relation tags ? i don’t know if exist something similar

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I got it!

One more question – We can login through WordPress.org accounts too. I once checked that I can and was wondering its implementation and the thing that if I am logged into the same account or there are two accounts for myself?

[smi1ey]

ashfame’s guide is pretty clear on the steps. For me, the key was going to http://YOURSITE/wp-admin/options, grabbing the AUTH keys there, then pasting them in the correlating section of the bbPress config.php file in the install. Once they both had the exact same cookie codes in their config files, it worked like a charm.

[Kids Toys]

I have the same problem… any solutions?

[Driftless]

@Ashfame – You keep insisting that no plugin is needed – however, I could not make the integration work until I installed the plugin –

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/

I have WP installed in a subdirectory, and BBPress installed in a sub-domain. The plugin helped me to discover how to a) make the cookies register in the same root domain, and b) define the cookie hash that was missing.

In short, although it may not be needed – it is useful. In my humble opinion.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Nice

[maramac]

Thanks for the advice about firebug – I solved it.

[maramac]

I read it and I already replied to it. That didn’t solve it. I did try it last night and it didn’t change anything.

I’m going to try out firebug now.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

@maramac

Did you read my reply over bbshowase? Thats the way it can be solved. To help you in your aim, install Firebug on Firefox. Run it using F12 and then you can catch the DIV you want.

Hope that helps

Good day,

I am working on a review site built using WordPress/bbPress and am in need of a ratings module. I’ve looked all over but as it turns out what I really want is something that bbpress uses when you go to a plugins page. An example of such a page is below (picked at random):

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/best-answer/

On the right sidebar there is brief information along with an average rating and the ability to allow the user to vote (and adjust it in the future). What’s more is that users are able to post their reviews within the same page which is perfect for what I need.

I’m using bbPress in conjuction with WordPress for my site, and since the logins database is used between them a plugin solution can be for either bbPress or WordPress.

Is such a plugin available, and if so where may I find it?

Thanks for your help.

[chrishajer]

Yes, forum will be more slow.

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

[maramac]

Chrishajer, from what I can see from the validation, all the problems listed on there are to do with either the footer, the members online, the attachments, etc… – all things that happen further down on the page or aren’t on the actual front page.

I’m thinking I’ve got my CSS wrong somewhere. I just cannot figure out where, since, as I already mentioned, my CSS is a bit shaky. I get by, but to find the reasons for errors like this – I just can’t manage with that.

I’m using firefox and notepad++. I’ve got the web developer toolbar installed, but so far I’ve yet to figure out all I can do with it.

[johnhiler]

@ashfame – Have you studied WordPress plugins at all? The approach is pretty similar, and there’s a nice codex over there too:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

@maramac

I posted another reply there. Check that out too.

[chrishajer]

@maramac, I would start by trying to validate your XHTML:

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyahalcyon.net%2Fforum%2F

There are a few issues there that will not do this to your site (missing alt tags, couple of invalid tags), but it does look like there is a missing div or missed closing div. That might help you.

Also, what sort of tools are you using to help you with this. I find an editor with syntax highlighting (like notepad++ if you’re on Windows) helps a lot, and Firefox with the Web Developer Toolbar also helps a lot to visual things. If you post your platform and your tools, people will be able to post some suggestions. The tools you use can make your job a lot easier.

[chrishajer]

@swaymedia: Any comment on _ck_: “there have only been 4 donations this year despite thousands of users of my plugins”

Maybe you’re one of the four? Reminds me of this discussion:

[maramac]

Yes but that doesn’t work.
