very helpful screencast. thanks!

i’m having the same problem as maxwellfir with user roles not being assigned correctly and the error when trying to assign them.

for existing users (from wordpress) i get the error mentioned above when trying to edit that user’s role in bbpress.

for new users (signed up via bbpress) their role in wordpress is set to “none” and therefore can’t login to wordpress.

not sure if the second issue has anything to do with having registration disabled in wordpress.

thanks for any additional help with this.

1.0-Alpha-4

https://bbpress.org/download/#bbfooter

That’s an alpha version, not suitable for a production site, but that’s the version that’s compatible with WordPress 2.7. I’m not recommending you use it, but that’s the version that’s compatible.

Watch this before attempting integration:

Yah, Google search is the best way I know to search multiple *Press sites.

I should highlight some downsides though:

* The search is not necessarily live; it’s searching Google’s version of the site, not your live site. So it’s especially important to have live Google Sitemaps on any WordPress or bbPress installs you want searched.

* You want to make sure that any subdomains do a good job of hiding pages that you don’t want searched. For example, I have MediaWiki on a subdomain… which does a bad job of hiding the editable version of each page (and other random pages too, like WhatLinksHere). I fixed that with plugins and other hacks, but it cluttered my search results for a while.

Hmm, those are the big downsides. Overall though, you can’t beat the ease of implementation of a Google custom search engine!

I am using WordPress 2.7 and wanted to know which bbpress would be compatible with it?

bbPress 1.0 alpha 4

[enfotoad]

Hi there!

I am sorry if someone else has already created a post on this.

I have a website (powered by wordpress) that has a bunch of how-to windows tech articles. I need to get a forum for my site users. Which one would be better? My users will need the capability of uploading files, pasting code and images. Which forum program would put less pressure on my servers and hopefully keep the running a little faster?

Thank you ahead of time for any help.

[Marcomail]

with wp 2.7 which version of bbpress i should use ?

[grassrootspa]

Been really excited about BBpress 1 and was planning on incorporating it into my WordPress site when it finished Alpha testing.

Anyone have any clue how IntenseDebate (via WordPress plugin) interacts with BBpress 1? Anyone have problems?

Obviously with Automatic behind both I’m sure its only a matter of time before BBpress, IntenseDebate and WordPress go together like Peanut butter, Jelly, and bread.

[chrishajer]

The changes you made might not have been major, but one of them is apparently critical. I would compare one template file, between the original and your modified version, and see what’s different.

Also, what version bbPress are you using, and is in integrated with a version of WordPress? Do you have any plugins installed that could be causing this?

[Trent Adams]

The easiest way now would be to look at the bbPress-live plugin at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-live/ and use the new xmlrpc functionality to pull the information in. Just create a new WP page template file to use for a new WP Page. There is more documentation on the plugin page, but kicker is that it requires 1.0 alpha 4 at minimum. As for including bbPress as a WP page, I don’t think I have ever came across instructions that work…..

[chrishajer]

There’s no simple way to do what you are asking. bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress, it’s a standalone forum. You can find themes for WordPress and bbPress that are similar, but in most cases, if you have a custom WordPress theme, you will probably have to customize a theme for bbPress to match it.

You might want to browse the integration tag at this forum:

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/integration

And you can also see some bbPress themes here:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/forum/bbpress-templates

Looks to me like you’re using the Revolution Lifestyle theme. Brian Gardner recently mentioned making a bbPress theme in 2009, and I thought there was a revolution theme for bbPress as well (maybe not lifestyle, but there was one.)

Ah, Revolution Magazine:

I thought it would be nice to intergrate a forum into my website, but i want it inside the website, like a page..

Like: http://wordpress.org/support/

Now my forum opens in a new page and my wordpress layout is nowwhere to be found..

How can i intergrate it into my website?

Thanks in advance,

[johnhiler]

Ah ok, didn’t realize you wanted something to search both WordPress and bbPress. I don’t know if any plugins natively support that – I need to do something similar on my site, but use Google’s custom search engine to pull it off:

Sorry i forgot to say that, it have always worked with 0.9.0.3 right out of the box but none of the 1.0 Alpha versions works for me, its a standard installation, the 1.0 alpha 4 is a fresh installation, doesnt use the old tables from 0.9.0.3, bbpress is installed after wordpress and they share the same usertable.

[JesperA]

Hi!

I want to use a couple of WordPress function so i tried to include wp_blog_header in bb_config like this:

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

This works well if i am in the forum section but as soon as i go into bb-admin i get the terrible feared:

Warning: require_once(/wp-blog-header.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:wampspeedrevisionforumbb-config.php on line 49

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.;C:php5pear’) in C:wampspeedrevisionforumbb-config.php on line 49

This worked great in 0.9.0.3 but in the latest unstable version 1 A4 it does this, why?

And why does it say that a forum is locked when i am trying to make a post?

Would really appreciate some help

[kenjin]

Greetings.

Although the option “Anyone can register” is disabled in my WordPress Admin Panel, anyone… can register on bbPress (so my blog is forced to accept new registrations). Why ?

I have just installed WordPress 2.7 with bbPress 1.0 Alpha 4, following the sambauers’s basic integration video.

Thanks.

[maxwellfir]

Followed the tutorial and thought everything was working, but I see now that when new users register on WP, they are added as users in bbP – but they have no role defined. All my roles are set in WordPress Integration. Here’s the error I get when I click on edit for the User – under USER TYPE

Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in /home/account/public_html/forums/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 2009

under ALLOW THIS USER TO:

Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in /home/account/public_html/forums/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 2036

Great tutorial, btw!

[marcoapaulo]

Thank you. Will try that

[chrishajer]

I just watched the basic integration screencast and tried integration again. I ran into some of the same problems mentioned above so I did a little testing.

1. Sam, thanks for the screencast.

2. Using a subdirectory of forums, and then making a WordPress Page called “Forums” with a slug of “forums” works just fine. The page will show up in your WordPress page menu like any other Page, but the real ‘forums’ subdirectory you installed bbPress into is what is displayed to visitors, NOT the content of the WordPress Page called “Forums.” I used to install a redirect plugin at WordPress to redirect the “Forums” Page to the http://example.com/forums/ real subdirectory, but I guess this works just fine like this. Good to know.

3. When using PHP4 (4.4.9) I encountered the “Forum could not be created!” error mentioned above. I thought it was possibly the MySQL version (which was 4.0.27 I believe) but it turned out that by using PHP5 (5.2.6) it installed fine, into the same database. I added this to my .htaccess file in the site root (for WordPress and bbPress):

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

That forced .php files to be processed as PHP5. I did that before installing WordPress. I confirmed with phpinfo that PHP5 was being used for both the blog and the forum. The 2nd time through (actually, the 3rd time, but that’s a different story), using PHP5, the forum was created properly.

After that, following the screencast pretty closely resulted in an installation where I can log in as Admin (key master) at either bbPress or WordPress, and I am logged in on the other side, as expected. Logging out of one logs me out of both. It’s what I expect user integration to be.

Waiting for the next screencast, Sam. Thanks.

p.s. Did I miss it, or is the NONCE key for bbPress never set in the video? I have one in wp-config.php, since the keys were generated by the WordPress.org API, but did I miss setting that in bbPress? Should I just make it the same as it is in bbPress? Will not having it prevent me from administering the forum or something? I didn’t test any functionality of the forum, just the logins.

[chrishajer]

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2) in /nfs/c03/h04/mnt/57391/domains/willclan4food.net/html/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 123

I just got this same error on installation of Alpha 4 with WordPress 2.7 integration. I caused it by being logged out of WordPress when I clicked the link to my wp-admin/options.php that was displayed by bbPress (the one where bbPress tells you to look for the salts in the WP admin area.) In Sam’s screencast, he was logged in, so clicking the link just brought up the options page straight away.

Anyway, I was logged out of WordPress at that step, and when I clicked the link, I got the WordPress admin login, with a redirect URL that looked like this:

http://example.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fforums%2Fbb-admin%2Finstall.php%3Fstep%3D2

So, when I logged in, instead of redirecting me upon login to http://example.com/wp-admin/options.php, it redirected me to step 2 in the bbPress install. After that, I got the same exact error as you did. In fact, there were a couple more too.

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysqld.sock' (2) in /home/example/forums/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 123



Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/example/forums/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 377



Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/example/forums/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php:123) in /home/example/forums/bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php on line 842

I ended up reinstalling since I was not confident in the installation at that point and didn’t want to take any chances at something not being set properly.

Try the User Photo plugin. It is available for bbPress and WordPress:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/user-photo-for-bbpress/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-photo/

It worked easily for me. Just need to make the right settings – set the same paths to image folders and keep the original function calls to avatars if you want to use Gravatars when available.

[chrishajer]

How about undoing what you did and see if it works again? Sounds like whatever you did broke it somehow.

What are “both” bbPress plugins for WordPress?

[Ganzuelo]

I got alpha to work,. I then installed both bbpress plugins for wordpress. I went back to change user options in the bbpress admin panel and error messages came up.. goto http://willclan4food.net for details.. The error codes are popping up there
