Hi everyone,

I just integrated bbpress functions on my wp by adding :

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

It works, but now the CSS is broken on my Wp admin, and also the jQuery.

Is there a way to fix it ?

Many thanks.

I’ve got wordpress running on a windows server through Godaddy. I’m having problems with wordpress using a local host full path as “Hosting4218749htmlwp-contentcache/ ?” when it should be “http://www……..htmlwp-contentcache”.

How do I go about changing the path to my server URL on Godaddy’s Windows server ?

I’ve reinstalled mySQL and wordpress over with no effect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated…

As long as they all point to the same user table and usermeta table, you can share the login across as many domains as you’d like, the cookies simply won’t be sync’d (however I have a plugin coming out soon that will share cookies across domains, but it’s not meant for wpmu, just regular wp/bbpress).

Database secret is covered near the start of this topic, it’s hidden in your bb/wp admin menus.

Nightgunner5 is right – you shouldn’t install them in the same directory. You have two real options if you’re using the same server for both:

1) install the blog in the root and the forum in a subfolders

2) install them both in separate subfolders

There’s a good explanation on why this all matters here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101#post-17412

Personally, I use a separate subdomain for each bbpress install… so I guess that’s yet another option.

Good luck!

Don’t install it in the same directory – Try WORDPRESS DIRECTORY/forums.

[nickaster]

Should I install bbpress in the same directory as wordpress (I’m planning to integrate them somewhat). Or does it matter at all?

[kevinjohngallagher]

Looking good Nightgunner5, and great to see you back.

While possibly a little self serving, i’d strongly suggest doing our upmost to make this plugin work for 0.9 for a number of reasons:

1) 0.9 is officially the stable branch and has been for over 9 months now.

2) 1.0.6alpha is nowhere near being the beta.

3) The next alpha is going to break alot of functions and plugins, to the point that _ck_ has already stated she’s not going to fix her plugins from 1.0.7a -> 1RC1 at the earliest. Aiming this code for 1.0.6a, is probably going to give you more work in the long run.

4) I know that Sam has posted on the blog that the proposed function changes might not happen now, but there’s still alot of open tickets out there; and alot of works been done on BBpress since 1.0.6a alpha in January. Add in to that all the work done for “talkpress”, and there’s no way the next version is goin to be near RC1 level.

5) WordPress 2.8 is coming with a new authentication system (yes new to 2.5 and 2.6/2.7’s authentication system), so even if we do get a new release of BBpress at the same time, there’s a whole bunch of coding to be done and tested as an alpha – let alone having the 1.0.beta released at the same time.

Either way, and with the best will in the world, 0.9 is going to be the “stable” release of BBpress for at least the summer. Today’s the 2nd of May, and we’ve not seen an update to 1.0.6a. If 1.0.7 is released on Monday, we’ll have at least 4 weeks of user reports and bug fixes before the next release. If that’s the beta and not not another alpha release, then we’ll have a few weeks of testing/fixing before an RC, and then at least a week before the final release.

Obviously it’s GREAT that you’re building this plugin, and from what i’ve read – it looks ace ( I’m about to install at home in a few minutes), but given the very changeable nature of alpha’s, it’s probably wise to focus more on 0.9 computability; and then making a version1 port when it’s in beta or release candidate. Just my two cents mate.

[Ben L.]

Other than changing and deleting their own username, those are all great ideas! Changing usernames messes up lots of code, and deleting your own account?!

The Role Manager has been submitted to the bbPress Plugin Repository – in some future version, it will have 0.9 compatibility (if 1.0 isn’t released first).

The BuddyPress PM plugin is for WordPress MU, not bbPress, so you’d be switching over from a forum to a blog hosting social network. The existing PM plugin probably needs to be scrapped — it would be easier to start over (for me, at least), but importing the old data would help everyone that had Private Messaging installed.

The avatars plugin (in my opinion) is doing the right thing the wrong way. By making the plugin a “real plugin” (no editing core files, no putting files into other directories) and splitting the avatars into separate folders, the plugin would be a lot better.

As for resetting passwords, or for that matter, the entire password system of bbPress as a whole, the idea is already being discussed.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Given that most modern browsers have built in check of some sort (except maybe IE, I’d have to use it to know…), it’s probably best that it not be a part of the app and more than it is for WordPress. I’m sure someone could make a plugin.

I am having the same problem but I don’t see $bb->uri in my config file, I see it in my bb-settings file. Do I change it there in my bb-settings file as it is not in the config file. If I need to add it to my bb-config file where do i put it, anywhere? What effect will this have on my database in the fourm? as I believe the database is shared with wordpress so will it effect the content on the wordpress side?

[dmbware]

Will this integration work for MU WordPress ?

[Lriggle]

No, I hadn’t tried asking in the WPMU forums. I just went ahead and uploaded the non-alpha release. I’m running into a situation where the installation is asking me for a Secret Key, though, and all I have are:

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘…’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘…’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘…’);

define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘…’);

define(‘AUTH_SALT’, ‘…’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘…’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘…’);

instead. Also, what the “database secret” is, I don’t know either.

Thanks!

bbPress shouldn’t be tightly integrated with WordPress. There are too many things that won’t work. Try removing the line of code that includes WordPress into bbPress.

bycbyc there are only a handful of active WPMU users here,

did you try asking on the WPMU forum or did they send you here…?

[Lriggle]

Hi Quick question regarding WordPress and BBPress integration of users. Can this be done across different domains? Say I have WordPress MU installed on Doman.com, and from there i have Blog1 installed on Domain2.com and Blog 2 installed on Domain3.com, and then BBPress installed on Domain4.com, would the users still be able to be sync’d across the domains?

All of these are running off of the same server, and Multi-Site is running on WordPress MU. Can users be sync’d between MU and BBPress this way?

(I know it sounds horribly convoluted. This is for an event that’s being put together, and while we don’t want users to have to register to N sites, we do want them all to be separated out like I described above.)

Edit: I should add that I’m not concerned about whether or not a user stays logged in when they switch from one to another, but just a shared user table or automatic user syncing is what we’re looking for.

[bycbyc]

any real help on this forum?

[racejunk]

[Thanks for the help! ]

Your welcome!

[Anointed]

To preface, I know nothing about bbpress other than it’s installed with my new buddypress setup.

I have run vbulletin on numerous websites for years now so that is what i am familiar with.

As my ultimate plans include using wordpressmu/buddypress/forums, can someone let me know why I should consider using bbpress?

Are there features that it has that other software does not provide?

Please, I am not being antagonistic here, it’s a real question.

so far my vbulletin setup has the following:

1. completely bridged to wordpressmu so that all registration/logins/sessions etc are controlled by vbulletin for the entire system. Meaning you login to vb, you are logged into wp automatically etc..

2. vbulletin uses wordpress theme header/footer etc. It’s not static, meaning that if the header in wp changes it auto changes in vb, and NO, I am not using iframes, that’d be just plain stupid.

thanks for any info provided.

I met the same issue, I installed a clean WordPress 2.7.1 and bbPress is 1.0Aphla 6, the integration during the installation is smooth, and I can single sign on between WordPress and bbPress.

However, I can’t post any topics with the msg: “This topic has been closed”.

Is there anyone from Dev team could help?

[baltzer]

Hi All,

I am getting a decent about of comments to my WordPress news blog. Problem is that these posts are scattered over many posts, so does not seem to be much activity.

Could bbpress be the solution? I want it to be possible for users to overview the discussion at the various news articles.

If you have seen a solution on an other website, please send me a link.

I have also looked at a integration of WordPress and vbulletin, but seems like a solution this is not without problems.

Hope to hear from you

Michael

When I tried adding a new user, jamesonriley, it added it to my WordPress user list, but not my bbpress user list.

[jamesonriley-1]

I just installed bbpress in the same database as my WordPress install. Got an email after installing saying it was all set, and that my login for bbpress was the same as my WP login. So when I login on bbpress, it just recycles the page, and asks me to login again. If I enter the incorrect password, it knows that it is incorrect and notifies me. I enter the correct password, and it just goes back to the main forum page, without being logged in. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[Ben L.]

Unfortunately, there are a lot of functions in the code that are 1.0-specific.

Fortunately, WordPress 2.8 is being released in May, and I can’t see bbPress 1.0 being far behind.

[bycbyc]

Hi All,

I just installed WordPress MU 2.7.1 and attempting to install bbPress (brubeck) and during the installer, it’s asking for 2 keys that I don’t see anywhere in the WP config file. The cookie and db key. In my WP config file I only see 3 keys and it’s corresponding salt entries. They’re Auth, Secure, Logged in, and Nonce.

Thanks for the help!

Finding well managed shared hosting that’s affordable is difficult.

Any host can slip up and end up with bad neighbors on a shared box.

Loads as high as you are reporting though should be automatically firing off alerts to the host though, so they either

1. aren’t getting alerts

2. getting them but ignoring them because they know it’s the overloading backup routine each morning

bbPress doesn’t have a page cache yet like WordPress’s wp-cache but in theory doesn’t actually need one unless you have a very active forum (or a bad host).

As far as finding a “better” host, it’s not easy but here’s some ideas:
