Ok.. I’m not 100% on this, but it seems the cookie hashing algorithm changed in WP2.8 .

In WP2.7, in wp-includes/pluggable.php (line 512)

if ( $expired < time() ) {

do_action('auth_cookie_expired', $cookie_elements);

return false;

}

$key = wp_hash($username . ‘|’ . $expiration, $scheme);

$hash = hash_hmac(‘md5’, $username . ‘|’ . $expiration, $key);

and in 2.8:

// Quick check to see if an honest cookie has expired

if ( $expired < time() ) {

do_action('auth_cookie_expired', $cookie_elements);

return false;

}

$user = get_userdatabylogin($username);

if ( ! $user ) {

do_action(‘auth_cookie_bad_username’, $cookie_elements);

return false;

}

$pass_frag = substr($user->user_pass, 8, 4);

$key = wp_hash($username . $pass_frag . ‘|’ . $expiration, $scheme);

$hash = hash_hmac(‘md5’, $username . ‘|’ . $expiration, $key);

So, in 2.8 the hash is salted with 4 character’s of the USer’s password. The “freshly_baked_cookies” plugin hasn’t been upgraded to match this change, so it always fails to match the hashed cookies.

Unfortunateyl,the get_userdatabylogin function doesn’t seem to exist in bbpress…..

I’m seeing something Similar on VizWorld.com. AFter upgrading WordPress to 2.8, I’m not unable to login to the Forums (www.vizworld.com/forum). I’m also using the “freshly baked cookies” 0.3.

Upgrading to BBPress .9.0.5 hasn’t helped…

[venividi]

Nice job, Markus.

So …

Is there a solution?

[Anonymous User]

We have the same problem today with the FBC-Plugin.

I seems to be a “hot” topic – and that’s probably the reason why we search for the last 2 hours for a solution. *selfironic*

Here the cookie-names and paths – they are identical. So the error eventually is not in seeting the cookies, but in reading of the cookies. !?

My bbpress .9.0.5 and wordpress 2.7.1 worked perfectly until upgrade of wordpress 2.8

1. upgrade of bbpress .9.0.5 – 1 hour after the posting. ( a week ago? )

2. upgrade of wordpress 2.8 – 2 hours ago.

3. the break of cookie – right after the upgrade of wordpress

[johnhiler]

When did the cookie integration break – when you upgraded bbPress to .9.0.5, or when you upgraded WordPress to 2.8?

Also – what was the last working set of versions that was fully integrated (bb 9.0.4 and wp 2.7?).

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I have already integrated bbPress 0.9.0.5 with WordPress 2.7.1 by using the same instructions but not it seems that its not working. Why the hell bbPress is overwriting the value in the db? Should I file a bug?

[venividi]

Thanks for the fast reply.

I’m using ck’s and johnmc’s ‘Freshly Baked Cookies for bbPress’.

[johnhiler]

bbPress v. 0.9.x doesn’t naturally integrate with WordPress 2.8. Are you using ck’s or superann’s cookie plugins to enable integration?

[venividi]

Having upgraded wordpress to v.2.8, I found intergration problem.

Log in bbpress, automatic log out from wordpress,

log in wordpress, automatic log out from bbpress.

my bbpress v. 0.9.0.5

What’s the cause of such a problem.

I’ll be greatly appreciated if any one solve the problem.

Thanks.

[omikami08]

Is there one that shows a list of compatible/working plugins for the different versions? WordPress has something like that:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Themes/Theme_Compatibility/2.7

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Plugin_Compatibility/2.7

I’m asking because if it’s not there it might be a good addition.

[frooyo]

Does anyone have links or documents on how I can convert WordPress’ Super Cache plugin for use with bbPress?

Or, has it already been done?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

To achieve integration between 0.9.05 & WordPress 2.7.1, I overwrite the bb_capabilities in wp_usermeta for my user by sql query as I don’t have phpmyadmin and I am using custom table prefixes.

I’m at a loss why you would have to do that anyway… I’ve never heard of anyone having to go in via SQL and making those changes except in the case of ‘reverse’ integration (where by you started with bbPress and are now adding on a WP site). In theory, if you’re starting with everything brand new, you just do WP first and then bb and it should work.

Looking at your doc, you also mention changing the wp_ prefix to rocking_ which is totally fine, but later on you have this:

Add these two lines in bb-config.php

$bb->custom_user_table = 'wp_users';

$bb->custom_user_meta_table = 'wp_usermeta';

Those too should be rocking_users and rocking_metadata

When I log in through my wordpress site, I can’t delete topics or posts. I also cannot access the bb-admin page, I just get redirected to the forum page of my site.

When I am logged out, and type in the url for the bb-admin page, and log in directly, I can access it. I can also delete posts and topics.

So logging in through the forum directly – everything is fine. But logging into the site and then navigating to the forum – I get these problems.

People won’t be able to access the forum unless they’re logged in on the finished site, so it is really important that logging in through the site and accessing the forum allows everything to work properly.

I have no idea what could be going on.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Are you having the problem just when you login from bbPress? What is your problem exactly? Not being able to delete topics & posts when you login from bbPress? Can you do that when you login from WordPress?

[mparker12345]

bbpress – “Version 1.0-rc-1”

Wordpress – just a link to upgrade to version 2.8, it was set up about 4 weeks ago, so I’m guessing 2.7?

[Joseph]

martenk, thanks so much. That plugin was what I was looking for. AMAZINGLY easy!

Here it is again for anyone that just wants to be able to create a page in the admin that links to the blog without editing the core files (which wouldn’t be fun to think about when you update).

[amistad]

Hi, I would like to display forum on wordpress page, and i used a gerink post, but when i put that code:

$bb->WP_BB = true;

if (file_exists(‘../wp-blog-header.php’))

require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);

else

if (file_exists(‘../../wp-blog-header.php’))

require_once(‘../../wp-blog-header.php’);

In to the top of my bb-config.php file, i just can not login in to the bbpress. I try to create new account, but effect is the same. When I click “Log in >>” , the site is only refresh, and I still can only log in.

I have wp 2.8 and bbpress 0.9.0.5.

[admesser]

I used the Pages Links To plugin and it works perfectly for my needs I am going to give my forums a different feel from the website. Thanks!

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

On Nginx, I am using this for WordPress

# WordPress pretty URLs: (as per dominiek.com)

if (-f $request_filename) {

break;

}

if (-d $request_filename) {

break;

}

rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;



# Enable nice permalinks for WordPress: (as per Yawn.it)

error_page  404  = //index.php?q=$uri;

and I want something similar for bbPress. Please share the solution!

[Tynan Beatty]

Sam, I’ve tried about 50 different changes and no matter what I do with the config files, the Integration plugin settings, or the bbPress WordPress Integration settings, nothing seems to change the fact that I cannot logout from WordPress if I have logged in from bbPress (that means I cannot logout period, I click logout there and can still go into either of the admins because the cookies are not removed). Everything else works fine. I could always redirect all my bbP login forms to wp-login.php I suppose, but it seems like that should be unnecessary. Could it be because my wordpress is in a subfolder of my site like /public_html/yawp/ ?

It seems when I login from bbP I get 2 wordpress_logged_in_* cookies, with identical values except that the ‘Path:’ of one is ‘/yawp/’ and the ‘Path:’ of the other is ‘/yawp’. When I login from WP I only get 1 wordpress_logged_in_* cookie, and it has a ‘Path:’ of ‘/yawp/’. I feel like this might be part of the problem.

I figured the integration speedup line $bb->sitecookiepath = '/yawp'; in bb-config.php might be to blame and added only that line, but changed it to $bb->sitecookiepath = '/yawp/';, cleared cache, deleted cookies, but still I get both logged_in cookies when logging in from bbP. That’s among trying a bunch of other different config changes to get that wp_login_* cookie unified.

Since you said in the RC-1 thread that I should be able to have this work if I just play with the cookie paths, have you any suggestions?

[pbarry4]

Thanks chrishajer, essentially I want to merge bbpress into my existing WP theme (same header & footer). Ideally the bbpress would be embedded into a wp page.

I’ve since found an article which achieves what I’m looking to do. http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/

I’ll also search this forum for updated threads on the topic.

Cheers.

[chrishajer]

pbarry4 – please post what you’re looking to do exactly. Since this post was made other posts have been made that explain how to do this as well.

[pbarry4]

@zappoman Any chance you can share the wealth and make the plugin available? Cheers

[chrishajer]

No the prefixes should NOT be the same for integration. Use a different table prefix for bbPress tables, and when it comes to integration, the installer asks for your WordPress table prefix so it can use those tables for user data only.

Start a new topic for your new problem please.
