[Windhamdavid]

let’s take that as a no. go to this page bb-admin/options-wordpress.php

go down to User database table prefix the value there should be “wp_” is it?

[Windhamdavid]

i just tried to register and see you’re problem..

[Table ‘englisl5_bulletinboard.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]

…so you were installing to share your user table with wordpress,

are you able to look at your database?

[Windhamdavid]

maybe a bit more about what you did “something to do with wp-admin”? are you sharing the same database for wordpress and bbpress?

[englishlangprof]

Please can anyone help. I tried to integrate bbpress with my wordpress blog by going into bbpress admin page and doing something with -wp admin

Now none of my users or me as admin are recognised and it won’t even send me an e mail.

Is there any way back in?????

Hi,

I have a wordpress mu install + buddypress. All the stuff works fine. I have installed bbpress. As it was difficult to tune the installation, I don’t know if what I can’t do if the consequence of a bad installation or only a limitation of bbpress.

I thought bbpress was buillt to work with wordpress mu : then I should be able to automatically enable a forum per blog created. But it is not the case : there’s one forum belonging to the first blog wp mu, and other blogs do not have one’s.

I don’t know if I am clear so I describe what I need.

Let’s say I create a WordPress MU on example.org.

I install bbpress to the example.org/forums path. Ok, it works.

Now, I create another blog, let’s say myblog.example.org.

When I enter the url myblog.example.org/forums, I should get a new forum space, not the forum that belongs to the main blog.

How to do that ?

Regards,

Fred

I dleted the tables. I deleted the user files for bbpress.

This is the error message I get now.

The database failed to install. You may need to replace bbPress with a fresh copy and start again.

Is bbpress compatible with wordpress or am I wasting my time?

[Nnyan]

That stinks I was able to integrate punBB by just adding header/footer of my theme. Would be nice if bbPress were made more “theme” friendly.

[johnhiler]

Btw, do you need to have only one point of signin? I used to do that too (only use the bbPress signin, in my case)… but eventually I gave up and started using both. There has been no confusion or technical problems from users, and each signin does a good job with its side of the *Press fence!

[chrishajer]

bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress, so what you’re looking for requires some work on your part. You need to create a theme for bbPress that mimics the look of your WordPress theme. We’re all spoiled with finding WordPress themes for free, pretty much all over the place. The same thing does not exist yet for bbPress themes, although there are a few bbPress themes that match their WordPress counterparts. If you have a WordPress theme you like already, you’re probably going to have to create a theme for bbPress that looks like that one.

[onlined]

I worked through the screencast to integrate bbPress with wordpress and all seems to be working well.

The thing is I can not figure out how to get bbPress to work within my theme, I want the wordpress theme to be a kind of ‘wrapper’ for the forum, putting just a link in the header to the forum, then for bbPress to come up on the page.

Is there a simple code tag I can put on a page to make this happen or else how do I do it?

[Windhamdavid]

Disable all plugins! upgrade the bbpress RC-1,

try again. if persist it sounds like your user tables are mangled probably due to something similar to dragunoff

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/not-able-to-make-new-posts-database-error

you try to clean up using – http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming/php/#wp-dbmanager

.. are you sharing tables with your wordpress installation?

[HeroicNate]

Ok so I started the install of bbPress and ran into this same issue so I stopped at step 2. Now I know I need to install the 1.0 version, but since I’ve already configured the database( Part 1 of install ), does that mean I’ll have to erase/change/do something to the database besides just deleting the bbPress files and uploading the new version?

Also, I never put the secret keys in when I installed wordpress. Does that mean I’ll have to resintall to put the secret keys in, or can I simply change the config file and over-write the old one and everything will work that way?

So what cookies do you see when you login through bbPress?

What cookies do you see when you login through WordPress?

What are the differences? Either you’re missing a hash, or your host is wrong, or the path is off. Something is missing.

[jpmendoza]

I’ve tried this as well: if( !wp_validate_auth_cookie() )

but haven’t had any luck.

[jpmendoza]

Sweet. I’ll definitely look into this.

Thanks!

[johnhiler]

I’m not expert enough to give advice on what hooks to use… but it might be worth checking out this related plugin (and ck’s recent comment about its general approach):

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/force-login/

Good luck!

[jpmendoza]

Hi guys,

This is my first post here, but I’ve been building an wp/bb integrated site for a few weeks now, and I’ve come to the point where I think it’s time to write my first plugin. I want this plugin to redirect users to my WordPress login page if they are not logged in. It is important that the forums remain private and also that there is only one point of entry to the site for users, so as to avoid any confusion.

I have _ck_’s Hidden Forums plugin set up to control access to forums, and that’s working fine, but I need some advice on how to handle an issue or two in the code I’ve written so far. Now, I don’t do a ton of programming, and this is my first attempt at anything like this, so bear with me if I’ve committed any cardinal sins.

<?

add_action('bb_init','login_redirect_init',300);

function login_redirect_init()

{

global $bb_current_user;

$id = (!empty($bb_current_user)) ? intval($bb_current_user->ID) : 0;

if( $id < 1 )

{

$redirection = 'http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'/caa/wp-login.php?redirect_to='.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

if (function_exists('status_header'))

status_header( 302 );

header("HTTP/1.1 302 Temporary Redirect");

header("Location:".$redirection);

exit();

}

}

?>

As it is now, accessing bbPress redirects to wp-login with the proper redirection URL (I’m using the WP Members Only plugin), but then logging in from there kicks me back to the wp-login page again. I’m thinking that perhaps bb_init is not the hook for me, as it appears that the login process is not getting a chance to do its thing, and thus I’m getting booted out. As a test, I tried bb_head, but of course the headers have been sent by then, and the redirect does not work.

So, if this is in fact the issue, what hook should be using? Or am I going about this all wrong? I’d really appreciate any and all input into this. Thanks, guys.

[cldnails]

You don’t have to have wordpress installed, this can be in a standalone directory. When you upload to your server it should go into a file folder, much like what is setup on your own PC. Consider this folder a domain and an extension.

So, if you upload to the ‘forum’ folder then you will enter this address to get to the install script:

http://example.com/forum/

Hope this helps.

[lisanewton]

Ok, I’m just a coding, upload beginner. I have some experience with WordPress, but I use as much none uploading stuff as possible, simply because I’m not familiar with it.

In the install instructions it says upload to the server. I did what I thought was that, but no install page appeared.

I’m just starting my forum out, so it’s a blank canvas. Where do I put the download on my server? Do I need WordPress on the blog to begin with?

I know these are beginner questions, but I’ve been at the beginner stage of many things, and have learned, so if you can help, I’m completely open to learning a new skill.

Thank you.

Don’t you have a backup? Things are definately possible to resolve here but it would be simpler if you can restore backup and then integrate them. I havn’t tried integrating WP 2.7.1 with bbPRess rc 1 as it makes no sense to me doing that on a live site. WP 2.8 and bbPress 1 will have integration features that will work out of the box.

Consider integrating the stable releases of both WP & bbPress only. I have written a tutorial on this on my blog : http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/05/integrate-bbpress-forum-wordpress-setup/. Let me know if you need more help.

If you are using the stable release of bbPress (0.9.0.4), then my guide should be enough : http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/05/integrate-bbpress-forum-with-your-wordpress-setup/

Let me know if you need more help.

[steveg190]

There is an excellent WordPress plugin that I use for one of my blogs that might be a good starting point for making your own plugin for bbPress if you can’t just outright convert it for bbPress.

http://www.papersealfury.com/blog/witt/

[surajbgl]

Hi, I successfully complete the whole installation process of the bbpress but even after a successful installation it always divert me to the installation everytime I visit my forums

http://www.mydomain.com/forums. wordpress mu is install on the root.

plz help me.

thanks

[John James Jacoby]

Sounds like you need to sync up all of your salts and keys, and check out the cookies that get dropped from both sides when logging in.

Remember you will still need the bbPress Integration plugin on the WordPress side to drop the bbPress cookies.

The way I do this, is to use Firefox, login through WordPress, and look at the cookies. Then delete them. Login through bbPress, look at the cookies. Which ones are missing from either side? Which information doesn’t match? That will be your clue to getting them synced up.

Once you know what you’re looking at, this process shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes.
