sig183, I disable the flash uploader using this WordPress plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/no-flash-uploader/

[chrishajer]

Yes, alpha and WordPress 2.7.

With the Flash upload bug though, can’t you just use IE7 or the browser upload, and then integrate WordPress 2.5.x and the 0.9.x series of bbPress?

[chrishajer]

This is not possible with bbPress as far as I know. bbPress does not live within WordPress or on a WordPress page. It’s not a plugin for WordPress. You can integrate bbPress to get single sign-on (shared logins) between bbPress and WordPress, and you can have access to WordPress functions in bbPress, so you can use get_footer(), get_sidebar(), get_header(), etc. But, it doesn’t work they way you are describing.

Version of bbPress?

Integration with WordPress y/n?

[chrishajer]

I don’t believe there is a definite date.

[erick_paper]

Any idea when bbPress 1 is out? At least in beta? I would really like this integration to work.

Hey guys, im having the same problem as clementine only i have 768MB guaranteed RAM and its burstable to 1504MB+. I’m fairly sure its a mysql problem as every day or two the server starts to run very slow, when check the resource meter using TOP via SSH it tells me that MySQL is at 90%. The only way to fix it is to restart MySQL.

I’ve installed eaccelerator and played around with the my.cnf settings but i cant seem to get it running right. I only have 3 wordpress installations… the my.cnf settings are currently set to as follows:

[mysqld]

max_connections = 300

key_buffer = 64M

myisam_sort_buffer_size = 32M

join_buffer_size = 1M

read_buffer_size = 1M

sort_buffer_size = 2M

table_cache = 4000

thread_cache_size = 286

interactive_timeout = 25

wait_timeout = 7000

connect_timeout = 10

max_allowed_packet = 16M

max_connect_errors = 10

query_cache_limit = 2M

query_cache_size = 12M

query_cache_type = 1

tmp_table_size = 16M

skip-innodb

[mysqld_safe]

open_files_limit = 8192

[mysqldump]

quick

max_allowed_packet = 16M

[myisamchk]

key_buffer = 64M

sort_buffer = 64M

read_buffer = 16M

write_buffer = 16M

[mysqlhotcopy]

interactive-timeout

Any help would be much appreciated

I hate to bring this up again, but do to the lack of documentation for bbPress, I have to. I know the approach I’m taking will use more server resources and that most bbPress people tell you not to do it, but whatever.

I’m shooting for 100% seamless integration, with the same exact sidebar as the rest of my WP pages that updates with the rest of the site.

WordPress 2.7 is installed in / on my server, while bbpress 1.0-alpha is installed in /bbpress.

I added the following to/bbpress/bb-config.php:

include('../wp-config.php');

Then I replaced bb_get_header() with get_header() in the theme files, so my WordPress header loads just as expected, BUT wp_head does not execute, so most of the styling for my template is not loaded.

At what point does wp_head fail or get canceled? I tried this exact same thing with the stable version of bbPress, and wp_head executed fine, but I couldn’t log in (it logged into WordPress instead, weird?).

[briandbutler]

i mean…bbpress. alpha6 (not 4)

[briandbutler]

my problem is also “salt” related….

HELP!

I upgraded to wpmu 2.7, and bbpress1.0 alpha 4…. the data base was sharing…everything was almost perfect….but then….

I was in the Admin Panel for bbpress, and was changing User roles (admin of wp to be admin of bbpress, etc)….

Then, I saw that the ‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’ form was blank…. (in the admin panel of bbpress for wordpress integration)… I thought …”mmm., thats strange, I already entered that when doing the setup.!”…. so…..i entered the key again …..

oops, really bad idea

Now, i get an error message:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2) in /nfs/c02/h03/mnt/27695/domains/globotrends.com/html/forums/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 123

HELP!!!!!!

how do i undo what i did?

where do I look? in what file?

my sites are here:

1. bbpress: http://globotrends.com/forums

2. wpmu: http://globotrends.com/community

Might as well, add my forums that I and a friend is working on.

I am using bbPress and WordPress for user intergation from my blog.

Just a Community

[reidwalley]

Totally über super-fantastic video, sambauers. I couldn’t have integrated bbPress and WP without it! Thanks a ton! I’m now running WordPress 2.7 and bbPress-1.0-alpha-6.

There are 2 specific things that got me past the “Forum could not be created” screen when I tried to install bbPress the first time:

1. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/basic-integration-screencast#post-22363

As the post above explains, I added the following line to the .htaccess files for my WordPress and bbPress installations:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

Thanks a bunch, chrishajer. It’s ALWAYS a .htaccess addition that makes my installation life easier – LOL.

2. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/basic-integration-screencast/page/2#post-22465

Thank you asymmetrik. This helped me discover that my WP 2.7 installation didn’t actually have a NONCE_KEY in the wp_config.php file at all. So, I ran the security key generator and got it.

BTW, sambauers , I’m totally diggin’ on your blog’s design/layout: http://unlettered.org/

[chrishajer]

It does not work with WordPress 2.7 AFAIK. bbPress 0.9.0.4 and WordPress 2.7 don’t integrate. If you want something similar for WordPress 2.7, you might have a look at bbPress Live:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-live/

[Radium]

Yeah, sorry for not updating on this. Since the forums are completely empty anyway I plan to move into bbpress as soon as 1.0 RC1 is released. My goal was to integrate the forums and the blog, but at the time I originally created the forums it was not possible without heavy modification which proved too time consuming. I have moved my testing of BBpress and wordpress integration to http://www.ridelegend.com/community/ however

[chrishajer]

The latest stable version of bbPress that integrates with WordPress is 0.9.0.4. That works with WordPress 2.5.x which is fairly old and you’re already past.

I don’t think there is a current stable version of bbPress that integrates with anything current from WordPress. WordPress is moving faster than bbPress right now.

What do you need out of integration that makes it important to integrate bbPress with WordPress? I’m asking honestly because I don’t understand why people do it. Thanks.

[msmeritt]

I enjoyed the screencast and found it very easy to follow. However, I tried it with BBPress 0.9.0.4 and WP 2.6.3. The bb-config setup was inconsistent with both the video and with what is in my wp-config file. I added a SECRET_KEY in wp-config and used it in the bb-config setup, but things haven’t quite worked out. At first, it was just that being logged into one place didn’t log me into the other. Then all of a sudden it looked like BB cookies were staying around even though I’d logged out of both — and when that happened, I couldn’t log into BBPress at all until I manually removed those cookies.

I’m a bit puzzled why the screencast and the integration plugin would only seem to be valid for an unstable release of BBPress. Yet reviewing https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/ it appears that everything should work even the way I did it, and without a plugin at all. Except that it didn’t. Can this be clarified?

[topdog2046]

When I put in the secret_key in wp-config.php, I get an error when I go to the regular blog site:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp() in /home1/user4026/public_html/wp-blog-header.php on line 20

I was able to get the fix_admin plugin and run it and it restored keymaster access to bbpress, but for some reason the error (see line above), occurs on my regular wordpress site.

Would you recommend I reinstall both wordpress and bbpress and start from fresh?

Also, is there an easier guide on BBPress and WP integration? The screen cast does me no good as I’m visually impaired and therefore depend on assistive technology to aide me in reading the screen content.

If needed, I can paste my WP config file as well as my bbpress config file. Just tell me what configuration files you require and I will get them.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I have to disagree there, chrisgoat

I have WordPress in /blog and bbPress in /forums and I have had WordPress on my site for a couple years before integration.

I did set my cookies to all be treated as from root, mind you, but I do that for both bbPress and WordPress, and it works fine.

[westpointer]

BTW – I have this same configuration working fine on three other servers that are all on different hosts. This host is php 5.2.8; mysql 5.0.51a-community-log. I’ll check what versions the other servers have but that seems fine.

[westpointer]

One other comment – I have this same configuration setup on three other servers (different hosts) and it works fine. This host is php 5.2.8; mysql – 5.0.51a-community-log

[westpointer]

I had WordPress mu alpha 6 setup with bbpress integration. I went into bbpress admin -> settings -> WordPress integration. When I saved the settings I get an error message that admin cannot connect to the sql server. Now, I can’t log into bbpress. Here’s the error:

mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/greath6/public_html/bb/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 123

I know I can delete my bbpress install, remove the bbpress tables, re-install and it will work again. But, I’ve already done that twice! Anyone know a real solution to this happening or why it happens?

[circuit]

i have the same problem. i am the keymaster, but after requiring the wordpress header, i show as ‘inactive’, even though i can still post. my profile has not changed and my permissions are fine.

[chrisgoat]

This only works if you install wordpress in a “root” folder and it has to be a clean install, cookies will not push to subfolders, and if you already have wordpress installed in a subfolder of a current website forget it.

As of release 2.7 it only uses one cookie hens even if you do get this loaded when you return to wordpress or your forums you will have to refresh the page for the login to even show.

Great video but really not any good for anyone that already has wordpress installed on a current website it has to be a fresh install in the root of the website.

Plus I believe this modification has been abandon as there has not been a post from the author for over 3 weeks.

Thanks

Chris

Let me give you a little unofficial insight (half my opinion, half fact).

Automattic has millions in investment funding, it’s not going away, neither is bbPress.

But right now bbPress doesn’t make any money for Matt – in fact, it’s the opposite, it costs him to pay people to code it – so you won’t see lots of money thrown into developing it. bbPress was originally written by Matt to run the WordPress.org forums but it’s new goal is apparently to eventually power TalkPress (a forums version of WordPress.com)

Currently Sam is the only one working on bbPress but that’s only because other resources are being diverted to other projects. There have been at one time three or maybe four developers (including Matt) on bbPress. Just because there is only one person working on it now is NOT a sign that it is going away. It’s simply because Matt has only so many coders and needs them elsewhere. (You may notice Michael is temporarily MIA).

The people complaining were obviously not around for WordPress development and haven’t read any history about it. WordPress was nearly the EXACT same way. Until there was a commercial project based on it (ie. WordPress.com) development was in bursts. Nothing for weeks, and then a frenzy, before a new release.WordPress didn’t really make it’s mark until 2.0 – 2.1, then it took off and then Matt could justify paying lots of people to support it.

Like I keep saying but no one listens, bbPress is PRE-RELEASE software. It’s not even 1.0 yet. And just like WordPress, people who come onboard someday at version 2.0 – 2.1 will wonder what the heck you were complaining about.

If you are using bbPress right now, you are an EARLY ADOPTER.

You are experiencing EARLY ADOPTER BLUES.

Some people complain, some people try to contribute, some people go elsewhere.
