I just got done reverse integrating existing installs of WP and BBP. So I didn’t actually run the BBP install, but I think “…/bb-admin/options-wordpress.php” answers your question about the secret key. See the “WordPress database secret” section on that page.

It points you to “…/wp-admin/options.php” for the value “secret” setting in your WP install. I think this may be the SECRET_KEY you are looking for.

If your install is already done, just go to “…/bb-admin/options-wordpress.php” and enter the secret in the text field provided there.

Hello!

I use 2.6.3 version of WP and I just installed bbPress 0.9.

I also use Freshly Baked Cookies plugin (http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/freshly-baked-cookies/) to allow bbPress using WP cookies.

What I get now is a strange situation: when I log into WP then I become logged out from bbPress and when I log into bbPress then I become logged out from WP, so I can never be logged in both of them. Everything else work fine.

My WP works on http://www.subdomain.domain.com/ address and bbPress works on http://www.subdomain.domain.com/bbpress/ address. I have fulfilled all the integration instructions.

What is also strange that when I log in WP then get these cookies:

– wordpress_logged_in_[HASH 1]: admin%7C[HASH 2]

– wordpress_test_cookie: WP+Cookie+check

– wpfsession: [10 digits number]

– wp-admin wordpress_[HASH 1]: admin%7C[HASH 3]

– wp-content/plugins wordpress_[HASH 1]: admin%7C[HASH 3]

…and when I log in bbPress then I get similar but [HASH 2] is the same as [HASH 3].

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance!

_ck_ – I’m using your skip-akismet plugin and thank goodness! At least my authors/moderators/admins are spared this.

Akismet is going absolutely bonkers on all nine of my bbpress and WordPress installs… it just started a few days ago. I thought maybe it was connected to skip-akismet, but some of the *press installs aren’t using skip-akismet and they are still having problems!

You need to look at the database settings in the file and make sure they are valid.

If you don’t know how to do that, ask your web host.

If they won’t help you you need to find another web designer.

Anyone with WordPress experience will be able to help you as the functionality is virtually the same as WordPress.

Remember NOT to show the password in that file to anyone you don’t trust as they will then have read/write access to your database.

I have the following plugins installed:

1. Private forums:

http://www.adityanaik.com/projects/plugins/bb-private-forums/

2. Akismet

3. VIPUsers:

I downloaded this on bbpress.org somewhere.

I don’t have the bbpress signups separate from wordpress. The 2 is integrated. But you probably know that from my first post.

In wordpress every user has the option to give themselves a “nickname”. I would actually like the forum to display that….if possible.

[braddock16]

I don’t think it’s the template either because inside the forum area, bbpress shows that the username is the same as the email used when signing up to wordpress. that doesn’t make sense because when they signed up with wordpress they chose a real username.

[braddock16]

My WORDPRESS theme/template shows the usernames correctly.

The BBPress forum template does NOT.

The template I’m using for BBpress is the “blank 3 column

1.0 by refueled”

BBpress version 0.9.0.4

I’m using wordpress 2.6.2.

I cannot change my wordpress version under any circumstances because I have certain vital plugins that only operate under that version and it’s a paid membership site.

So what can the problem be here?

Thanks for the support so far!

[chrishajer]

Wherever the username is displayed properly – what theme is in use there? And what version of bbPress and WordPress did you integrate?

If you are seeing the username displayed incorrectly in bbPress, maybe the template author used the wrong function to display the username, or something like that.

[braddock16]

Are you talking about the wordpress template theme or bbpress?

I wouldn’t mind paying for help also.

Regards,

Braddock

Hi guys

My forum member’s usernames show their email addresses!?

I did the integration correctly and the forum/wordpress database get’s updated accordingly when new people register.

But what on earth can I do about the username issue?

I want it to display their real usernames.

Regards,

Brad

Hello Everyone,

So let me start with I am on day 3 trying to get this working right. I have tried 5 different methods to getting the forums to workd with my WordPress MU install but I just cant get it working. Please Help.

Everything is fresh and current.

Latest Attempt:

Following this guide.

https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/installation-readme.txt

At the end of bbpress install I got this error. Check Code below.

I also cant do step 6 because buddypress-enable.php is not there. What should I do?

Referrer is OK, beginning installation…

>>> Setting up custom user table constants

Step 1 – Creating database tables

>>> Modifying database: 40knetwork (mysql.dbmethod.com)

>>>>>> Table: bb_forums

There were some errors encountered during installation!

This sounds reasonable but painful.

Some tips:

* Only upgrade bbPress to 0.9

* Upgrading to WordPress 2.7.1 almost made this impossible, but ck and superanne saved your bacon with plugins for WP 2.7 <=> bbPress 0.9 cookie compatibility.

* Don’t forget to assign your WP users privileges (e.g. Keymaster) by adding a row to the usermeta table

* How are you going to handle user_id conflicts between bbPress and WordPress? For instance, if the WordPress “asdf” user/author has a user_id of 17, and there’s also a user on bbPress with a user_id of 17, you’ll have to do a bunch of UPDATE queries to wp_posts (post_author field) and wp_comments (comment_author and user_id), because when you create a new author with a user_id of 1000, it won’t match up with the post_author_field (etc.) which will have the old 17 number in it.

* Also what about username conflicts, e.g. two users named “asdf”, etc.? That might result in more UPDATE queries… You’ll have to rename the WordPress user, probably.

* The benefit to integrating the databases completely is you don’t have to make two connections to two databases. I’d go for it.

* That extra index on user_nicename is the least of your problems.

* Are you sure that bb_users and wp_users has the exact same database schema? Confirm this! Also, make sure to add any “missing indexes” that are currently in wp_users to “the new wp_users”.

Good luck!

Can you put the HTML source code of a page where the css and jquery are missing from <head> to </head> in http://bbpress.pastebin.com/ ?

[paultjuh2]

No wordpress, bbPress 0.9.0.4.

Im using Instant Password now, I prefer mailing.. still open for solutions.

(sry for bad english)

Thanks, looks interesting if I can figure out how to get it working

[chrishajer]

What version bbPress? Are you integrated? If so, what version of WordPress?

[Ben L.]

The development version of Bavatars has untested compatibility with deep integration. Use it at your own risk, though.

[eclipsei]

Hello,

I followed this guide http://www.cssjockey.com/wordpress/deep-integrating-wordpress-271-and-bbpress-0904 (which is very helpful for a beginner) and now have bbPress integrated with WordPress.

What I want to do now is let users upload their own avatar which will appear with their posts/profiles in the forum but also with any comments/profile on the wordpress side.

There seem to be various standalone avatar plug-ins for wordpress and bbpress but is there anything which is compatible with both systems?

I’d rather not use Gravatars if at all possible so user’s don’t have to rely or register on an external site.

Any help, suggestions or pointers would be appreciated.

bbPress 1.0-Alpha-6 and Wp 2.7

[nickaster]

If “it’s easier to integrate with WordPress if you install bbPress in the same database as WordPress” They why does the installer not advise you of that during the config process? I’ve gotten to the same headache. There is no variable in wp-config called “SECRET_KEY”. There are however, “AUTH_KEY” “SECURE_AUTH_KEY” “LOGGED_IN_KEY” “NONCE_KEY”…

[Ben L.]

Actually, BuddyPress uses bbPress, so it could be argued that bbPress is a modification for BuddyPress.

BuddyPress is a modification for WordPress MU.

[mizparker]

As if this guy’s problem isn’t bad enough, I’ve been through the install for the fourth time and when I try to go to the forum, at http://www.noseyparkernews.com/bb2/ I am always returned to the ‘Yada, yada, let’s get started’ page. I click on that button, and I get several hundred instances of this:

Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /homepages/19/d271430659/htdocs/Nosey/bb2/bb-includes/wp-functions.php on line 113

until it gets tired, and asks me to stop or continue the script. All the correct information is in bb-config.php, and the first step of the installation confirms that that is true.

I’m using WordPress 2.7.1, with a standard, off the shelf theme.

[Ben L.]

plop, are you using integration? If so, what versions of bbPress and WordPress are you using, and what are their URLs?

[Ben L.]

What versions of bbPress and WordPress are you using?

[plop]

I still didn’t find a way to resolve this, it’s really weird.

I can access to the bbpress functions on my wp template now with no problem, but my wp admin section is still “broken” (no css, no jquery)
