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.

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!

Thank you. Will try that

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.

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

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

[marcoapaulo]

Hi everyone

My question is simple… I want to use the bbpress avatars on the wordpress comments page, so when a member is logged in and comment on wordpress, the page gets the avatar he’s using in bbpress. How can I do it?

Thank you

[gelincikonline]

WordPress : 2.7

bbPress : 1.0 Alpha 4

Can not login user, just login admin for bbPress.

[Ganzuelo]

I had the stable version 9.03? And I thought it was integrated with my word press. I then went to do the upgrade to the latest version and the Admin area was all screwy. I have the day off so I decided uh I can just start over, deleted word press, deleted bbpress I got wordpress back and now I cant get bbpress going.. i use vista Firefox and I am getting a loop redirect error and I cant get by it

[chrishajer]

There was a recent discussion about how awful search is:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/advanced-search-options-where-and-what-are-they

There was also an unrelated discussion that became related to search (at WordPress.org and bbPress.org):

[hotforwords]

jdub, you ROCK!

I had 44,756 members in my WordPress site and only ~28,000 members in my forums.. so I had 16,287 broken accounts in the forums

I ran your MYSQL query and in 2.0724 seconds it repaired the 16,287 accounts and now I am golden!!

Thanks so much!

Generally what I do is just edit your template to change the code on register.php to just have the registration page either redirect to your wordpress registration or have a link on it. If you use the default theme, just copy it into /my-templates/ and edit the register.php file of your theme. That seems to be the easiest as it then never shows the bbPress registration form.

[Trent Adams]

This site has the forums run on bbPress and the Blog run with WordPress. The navigation and “look and feel” really is just done through the template that you decide to go with. Best part about bbPress is the templates generally are created with CSS so you can do whatever you want to do. bbPress and WordPress do integrate logins and cookies which is nice, but the design really is not that bad as well.

[mbeckner]

Please pardon the stupid noob post. I am completely new to this area of technology. I am looking for a solution which will function as a corporate portal/intranet.

I like the horizontal tabs as featured on this site. My site would have tabs with company news, policies and procedures, links, blog(s), and of course discussion forums. I am also expecting to have flexible layout capabilities…multiple columns, etc.

With that in mind, I have two questions:

1. Is the entire bbpress.org site strictly bbpress, or does it also utilize WordPress?

2. Does bbPress allow for multiple moderators? Our discussion forums will be devoted to various topics, with subject matter experts within the company moderating.

2. W

Is there a way to deactivate new users but still allow them to sign up through wordpress side? I found that If I create a user on bbpress it doesnt show in wordpress but it will show if a wordpress user is coming to the forums?

[winmutt]

2.7 and 0.9.0.3

I had a heck of a time getting the logins to work properly, the issue was that I would get a wordpress_logged_in_* cookie for /forums but never a wordpress_* for /forums

In the bb-admin wordpress integration I set the forum URL to the wordpress URL http://superturbodiesel.com/ and the same in the wp-admin for bbPress integration plugin and it worked.

Some other changes, I fixed the bb_mail function to use a from envelope for sendmail as the fifth parameter to mail. It should certainly be an install option

bbPress is light and simple but IMO still has a long way to go. Can’t wait to get my hands dirty with some patches. I will probably do a wp integration template and usernames in quoted text (from the QUOTE extension).

I migrated from phpBB out of pure spite. Every upgrade on my stock install would break and the fact that it had to be manually patched was ludicrous. As a professional PHP programmer bbPress is much easier to work with and the coding practices are straightforward.

[winmutt]

No, I did not want that functionality at all. My post was simply an easy way to integrate an existing wp theme.

RE PHP4 post earlier, php4 is all but deprecated, its EOL has already passed, tell your host to upgrade!!!!

[lorenzocoffee]

hi winmutt

did you also implementes the cross posting ?

I mean post an article in the blog and automatically doubbing it on the forum?

thanks

[winmutt]

To include the wordpress theme I simply included the header and footer files into the bbpress themes (deleting the rest of content in there) and then added the login to the header in the wordpress theme using <? if (function_exists(‘bb_login’)) ?>

You can see this at http://superturbodiesel.com/. The only problem I found was that you can’t login from the wp home page. In my case this is perfect as forum administrators are the only ones who can post in WP.

[hotforwords]

I started out with my bbpress database being different from the wordpress database, but sharing the same wp_users.

But I seem to be having problems where new users on WordPress have no role in BBpress… and I get an error when trying to change their role: function.array-key-exists (same error as here.)

Is there an easy way to merge the bbpress database with wordpress since they use the same user list anyway? That way I can have the same setup you suggest in this video?

[hotforwords]

I have the same setup, running 2.7 and bbpress alpha 4. About half of my users got roles, half didn’t. And we’re talking about 15,000 plus users with no roles!

When I create a user in WordPress, the user has no role in bbpress and I get the errors above when trying to edit the user with no role. Even after logging in, there is still no role.

Hmmm…

Is there a way I can add the updated files from the latest trunk that you are talking about? I am not technical enough to understand svn.

Thanks!

[winmutt]

The easiest way I found to integrate the themes is to include the header and footer in the respective files from the wordpress theme folder. This can be seen @ http://superturbodiesel.com.

The only real issue I have is that the bbPress login is not available on the front page without adding static HTML. I decided to leave it as is, in my case I only want registered users posting in the forum.
