Sometimes, integrating bbPress into your WordPress can cause you to lose your admin access.

This plugin can help restore your access.

i am using wp2.3 and bbp 0.9

i integrated using the help in forum and after that i am unable to login as administrator into both wordpress and bbpress.

How can i resolve it?

[HTK]

Alright, so basically I have to get WordPress 2.7 and unstable version of bbpress. Alright no problem I guess, Blogs are simple and these forums are simple and thats just the way I like it.

Dear Developers, dear community

currently I am trying to set up the following combination: WordPress MU (2.7.1), Buddypress (tried both, 1.0.1 and 1.0.2) as well as bbpress (1.0-rc-3). My problem is the following error that appears on the “Installation success”-page:

Database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') /* WP_Users::append_meta */' at line 1]

SELECT user_id, meta_key, meta_value FROM wp_usermeta WHERE user_id IN () /* WP_Users::append_meta */

Caller: BB_Install->BB_Install, BB_Install->process_form, BB_Install->process_form_finalise_installation, bb_get_user, WP_Users->get_user, WP_Users->append_meta



Database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') /* WP_Users::append_meta */' at line 1]

SELECT user_id, meta_key, meta_value FROM wp_usermeta WHERE user_id IN () /* WP_Users::append_meta */

Caller: BB_Install->BB_Install, BB_Install->process_form, BB_Install->process_form_finalise_installation, bb_new_user, bb_get_user_by_nicename, WP_Users->get_user, WP_Users->append_meta



Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at [...] bbpressbb-includesbackpressclass.bpdb.php:569) in [...] bbpressbb-includesfunctions.bb-core.php on line 1095

To track down the error I will try to explain my installation procedure – the starting point is a vanilla installation of WordPress MU 2.71 and Buddypress 1.0.2:

1) Put bbpress into the same directory as wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes – basically (“/”)

2) Go to the installation routine on ./bbpress/bb-admin/install.php and start step 1

3) Enter the same database name, user and password as for the WordPress MU installation

4) “Show advanced settings” and set database character collation to “utf8_general_ci”

5) Save and go to step two

6) Add integration settings

7) Add cookie integration

Enter the URL of the page (Note: The description “This value should exactly match the WordPress address (URL) setting in your WordPress general settings.” is wrong, there is no such value under Admin Panel > Settings > General nor under Admin Panel > Buddypress > General settings

9) Have already tried both: Setting the page URL again as well as setting URL + “/bbpress/” (Note: Again the description “This value should exactly match the Blog address (URL) setting in your WordPress general settings.” does no match since there is no such value in the Admin Panel in General Settings

10) Copying all cookie keys from the wp-config.php

11) Add user database integration settings

12) Set MU primary blog id to: 1

13) Save and go to step three

14) Enter site name, enter side address as base URL + “/bbpress/”, enter keymaster and according email address as well as a title for the first board

15) Save and install

From here on I get the error message (white one white background), the installation routine shows a successful installation nonetheless. The protocol is:

Referrer is OK, beginning installation…

I mean the forum is working, but I fear still something might have gone wrong after the above error message. What do you think?

Kind regards

Hi,

I get the following errors when using bbPress:

Warning: array_map() [function.array-map]: Argument #2 should be an array in /var/www/example.com/forums/bb-includes/class.bb-query.php on line 71



Warning: join() [function.join]: Bad arguments. in /var/www/example.com/forums/bb-includes/class.bb-query.php on line 71



Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/example.com/forums/bb-includes/class.bb-query.php on line 85

I’m using bbPress 1.0 alpha 6 and I should also mention that I have integrated BuddyPress and WordPress MU and enabled WordPress’ WP_CACHE as stated here:

http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/improving-performance/

Does that have anything to do with the error messages?

Thanks for reading!

[chrishajer]

Ipstenu – I have always installed bbPress and WordPress together like this, without a problem:

/var/www/example/wordpress/

accessible here http://www.example.com/

/var/www/example/wordpress/bbpress/

accessible here http://www.example.com/bbpress/

Are you suggesting NOT to install it like that?

[johnhiler]

There’s no existing way that I’m aware of to integrate 2.8 with bbPress 0.9. The two plugins which allow that sort of cookie integration were broken when WordPress changed their cookie method in 2.8…

[ced64k]

3 days that I’m trying to find a solution and finaly it works ! (WordPress 2.8 + bbPress 1.0 rc3).

My solution, for a WordPress in the root and bbPress in a folder:

1) I don’t use the bbPress integration plugin for WordPress

2) Default wp-config and bb-config

3) Simply put AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY in the two config file (and double check that it’s the same)

4) Go to good ol phpMyAdmin and check that:

in bb_meta: in wp_options:

bb_auth_salt = auth_salt

bb_logged_in_salt = logged_in_salt

bb_nonce_salt = nonce_salt

Here’s the secret (only if you haven’t changed the login key settings):

You don’t need to do anything else!

To make everything look like it’s one website is easiest to do with custom theming (or deep integration, but frankly that seems unreliable to me).

The site in question is using this plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpforum/ – bbPress is not a plugin, so it cannot be integrated the same way.

You can also allow for anon posting, though I don’t know if you can make it so that people can invent their own nicks on the fly.

Can’t answer that last one, as I don’t know if anyone’s tried.

[HTK]

That was a great tutorial my friend, it seemed simple but I haven’t done it yet and before I do I have few questions.

Will WordPress 2.8 work with bbpress 0.9.0.5 or do I have to do WordPress 2.8 with bbpress 1.0-rc-3?

Thank you in advance.

[arthaseo]

thanks

[chrishajer]

Interesting that this is a CentOS installation as well.

Can you install WordPress OK on this host or domain?

[johnhiler]

Just did some research for ya – looks like this issue can be caused sometimes by problems with htaccess files:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/243002

Is it possible that when installing bbpress, the htaccess file was changed and that caused some of these issues?

[Atsutane]

@leggo-my-eggo

Sorry i should have update the plugin here in, but if you are download from the plugin from wordpress.org there are 3 filter support release on 22-6-2009 More info can be found here.

Well, there were lots of steps. Mostly it was changes to the CSS so the first step would be to take a look at my CSS. I didn’t change any non-theme related files. The plugins I’m using are BBcode buttons toolbar, BBcode lite, bb topics view, and post Count plus. Probably the main thing I do different is that regular users shouldn’t see the admin pages of BBpress. Instead they get redirected to the wordpress admin pages.

Sambauers put a great video together on how to get wordpress and bbpress working together:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/basic-integration-screencast

[_ck_]

One day we’ll start a install4free like wordpress but until then,

if they just want a basic install, start giving out this free service:

http://www.simplescripts.com/script_details/script:bbPress

supposedly works on most major hosts including:

* Bluehost

* Hostmonster

* Fastdomain

* LunarPages

* HostGator

* SiteGround

* GoDaddy

* WebHostingPad

* LiquidWeb

* StartLogic

* iPowerWeb

* Dot5Hosting

* MidPhase

* 1and1

Maybe try posting to the WordPress forums?

Unless there’s a connection to the bbPress install that I’m missing…

[daniellejosh]

WordPress address (URL) and Blog address (URL) are both set to http://iphonecustoms.com.

I fixed the “Leave a Comment” links that were linking to my forum by changing the settings in Settings>Permalinks to “default”. (It had been set to iphonecustoms.com/forums/ somehow.)

So the comments on my homepage actually work now… however on all my other pages, my “Leave a comment” links are still not doing anything. The comment links came built in with my “Black Splat” theme, and I tried to replace comment.php from original theme and still nothing happened.

[johnhiler]

What is listed under WordPress address (URL) and Blog address (URL)?

Also – what code in your WordPress template are you using to generate those comment links?

[daniellejosh]

yes… my links are pointing there… and I do not know why! And on this page:

http://iphonecustoms.com/written-tutorials/iphone-3g/how-to-jailbreak-w-redsn0w-on-windows

The comment link just keeps you on the same page but adds a “/#comments” to the end of the URL? I checked Options page, and nothing has changed.. nor does it look like any of those options would change the situation? Here are my options:

Blog Title

Tagline

WordPress address (URL)

Blog address (URL)

E-mail address

Membership

New User Default Role

Timezone

Date Format

Week Starts On

any suggestions? thank you so much for your reply.

[johnhiler]

It looks like those links are pointing here:

a href=”http://iphonecustoms.com/http:/iphonecustoms.com/forums/#respond”

Did something change with your WordPress Address URL here?

@sambauers – Yep, I get that, thanks. I think where I’m coming from is that I am a long-time WordPress developer, and I have just had the need to create a forum, so I (almost automatically) chose bbPress, thinking that all the talk about integration would allow me to do some cross-platform things that I had in mind. I didn’t read far enough into the forums to discover that the “deep integration” only went one direction (bbPress->Wordpress), and now I’m way too far down the the path of developing this site to turn around, and I’m not sure I could get the interaction I wanted with anything else anyway. Any chance you’re updating the bbPress Live plugin for 2.8?

@johnhiler – Agreed about avoiding deep integration. Given what I now understand about how it works, I would prefer to avoid it entirely, merely pulling content between platforms. I actually can mod the Latest Discussion plugin, and that’s probably what I’ll end up doing. I kind of hate doing that because I forget later what I changed when I want to upgrade. Basically all I really need is a way to limit one of my forum’s topics and counts to those topics begun today (I have a “Today Only” forum to talk about topics for a single day). I have this working fine within bbPress, and what I wanted to do was simply filter the output of the Latest Discussion plugin like that from within my own plugin.

[johnhiler]

legg-my-eggo – I totally agree that basic functionality should be easier to call between the two platforms! Pulling content back and forth between WordPress and bbPress… sharing header/footer/sidebar templates… that stuff should be a lot more seamless, and hopefully it will be over time.

Deep integration does have its own set of problems. _ck_ mentions two of them here:

Two huge strengths for stand-alone (simple) integration over deep integration are:

1. your forums can be still running even if your blog is temporarily down (or visa versa)

2. speed/performance – deep integration will crush a shared server if you get a surge in visitors

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/display-bbpress-on-wordpress-page-inside-the-blog#post-25353

Anyway my personal sense is that if you can avoid deep integration, you’re probably better off that way. But if you absolutely need it, it’s possible… but only in one direction. It’s up to WordPress to decide if they want to offer deep integration of bbPress – I guess some of us could post over at the WordPress forums and ask them for it?

What kind of filters are you looking to run on the Latest Discussion plugin? Maybe we can find a way to mod the plugin to be more flexible… and remove your need for deep integration!

[jconley]

I want to integrate my bbPress forum into the WordPress blog just like you have. Please tell me the steps you took to do this. My blog uses WordPress 2.8 and works great. I just downloaded bbPress 0.905, installed it, and it too is working great. I just want to marry the two.

Thanks
