What versions of bbPress and WordPress are installed?

[displayname]

did you check to see if your wordpress is integrated properly? (the secure auth keys, logged in keys, etc… in bb_config should match the ones in wp_config)

[walkerevans]

I’ve been installing a copy of bbpress for a new site launch for a few weeks now. Mostly it’s been going pretty smooth, but tonight I realized I’m not able to change any of my member profile settings as an admin.

My install is tied into WordPress, and I can change user settings from the admin panel there, but from bbpress I cannot edit any settings for any users but myself. It almost looks as if some required field isn’t being entered when I attempt to change anything. I get no error messages.

I’ve been wracking my brain for an hour on this and am totally stumped. I disabled all of my plugins but the problem persisted.

I need to be able to edit users! Halp!

It appears to me like you didn’t integrate your user registrations or user accounts. I can login to the forums, but cannot login to WordPress. Can you check out your database and make sure you only have wp_user and wp_usermeta user tables, and do not have any that start with bb_?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

So I’m reading this blog post, all about bbPress and WordPress and I realize something. You can link on the WP forums to their wiki.

3. Link to Codex article by using the wiki code of two beginning and ending brackets. Template Hierarchy will create a link to that article in Codex.

I have bbPress. I have a MediaWiki. How did they do that!? I’d like to implement that!

Hi all,

I recently installed the bbpress forum (http://www.holysh1t.net/forum) on the one month old gaming blog http://www.holysh1t.net. The integration with wordpress went nearly flawless, the speed is amazing even on shared hosting and I find many joy in all the plugins! I am definitely amazed at all the work _ck_ has put in to them… he seems to have created atleast half of all the plugins available… kudos

What this post is about is a request to have a custom field in registration, which could be edited in the profile and published as a seperate field in the user info, next to each post. I’ve been looking if such a plugin exists, but could not immediately find it!

Would be great if it could be a feature to be considered, or if someone could show how it could be done (if it’s not too much time of course).

Either way, I love bbpress! Thank you for this great piece of software!

Happy holidays,

Greetings,

Nico

@biscut

Delete ALL tables in the database that start with your bb_ prefix, and try again.

@bryan

I can assure you that following Sam’s video PERFECTLY yields perfect results. I’ve done it at least 10 times. Can you rewatch the video and take notes on what in your particular case may be different? Like directory location, server settings, unique WordPress plugins or setup, anything like that?

I joined your forum, but then realized that your WordPress login page isn’t the traditional wp-login.php. I get redirected when I try to access it. Also, same goes for your admin area. It looks like you’ve got WP logins pretty well hidden from view. Care to let me in?

[charliestout]

Hey Sam, all the buzz about BuddyPress got me back on the forums here. Everyone seems to say “that’s a good idea for like, three years from now” when I suggest something. I’m either flattered to be thinking ahead or embarrassed to be so disconnected from present reality.

In any event, thanks for the great down-to-earth response to my pipe-dream post from 8 months ago!

It would appear that ease of integration has greatly improved since then!

[chrishajer]

I wonder if it’s because of the integration between themes or with WordPress functions conflicting with bbPress functions? These versions are not *supposed* to work when integrated; maybe this is one of the problems.

If you have access to the database, look at the bb_topics table for a field called topic_open which should be 1 for open or 0 for closed. I’m curious what the value is for the first topic.

[_ck_]

I created a separate database for bbPress with separate users.

You somehow changed your wordpress settings to look at the users in the new, blank, bbpress install. Therefore noone can login. The wrong cookies aren’t helping.

You need to delete bbpress and change your wordpress wp-config.php to point back to the user table in the old wordpress database.

[chrishajer]

Did you try what Trent suggested?

Also, WordPress 2.7 does not integrate with bbPress 0.9.*

[Buca]

I’m using bbPress 0.9.0.2. Yes it is integrated with my WordPress 2.7 blog. No active plugins at the moment.

[bijan23]

I wish it was mentioned in one of the steps of installation process. What can I do now to fix my WordPress?

None of the authors and administrators can login to their account. The admin area is completely inaccessible.

[chrishajer]

WordPress 2.6 does not integrate with 0.9.0.3.

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

Do NOT try to integrate WordPress 2.6 with bbPress 0.9 – only use WP 2.5.1 – the reason for this is simple – WordPress has radically changed the way cookies are used.

[chrishajer]

Are you using any plugins?

What version bbPress did you install? Is it integrated with your WordPress 2.7 installation (user logins I mean)?

[bijan23]

I am trying to integrate bbPress into my WP-operated website. My WordPress is 2.6. I installed bbPress “Brubeck” (version 0.9.0.3) in a subdirectory titled “forum”. I chose the integration option. I created a separate database for bbPress with separate users. Everything went well but at the end I got this message:

“>>> WordPress cookie secret key not set.

>>>>>> Your “bb-config.php” file was not writable.

>>>>>> You will need to manually define the “BB_SECRET_KEY” in your “bb-config.php” file.”

I was able to login at first but later I opened the “bb-config.php” file and entered a secret code there. Then I tried to login again but I got this message:

“Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://thepublicsphere.com/forum/bb-login.php”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.”

I tried to login to my WordPress admin but none of my user names and passwords worked. I tried to reset the passwords but the emails I receive do not contain any new password, neither the link they provide leads to any reset page.

What should I do?

[am5]

I downloaded bbPress into my wordpress directory, as I am planning on integrating bbPress into my wordpress site, and I go to http://www.mysitename/bbpress and the installer comes up. I put in what should be my database “name, user, and password” and I get the errors:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/usr/local/mysql-5.0/data/mysql.sock’ (2) in /home/content/m/y/g/mygreensprout/html/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 123

and

! There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.

Please check the settings, then try again.

Any suggestions?

[chrishajer]

That’s a very common question. You might start here:

There’s no way I know of to just put a bbPress forum in a WordPress page.

[nextical]

I’m running WP 2.7 in my site (www.ins-ide.org) and because it, I choose BBpress Alpha and then I install the bbPress 1.0-alpha-4 into my /forum/ inside the ‘public_html’ (thought from I read, it supposed to be the easiest things to do for installing bbpress).

after I extract the ZIP file, I send all the content (via FTP) to the /forum/

Then, I opened the bb-config-sample.php & wp-config.php

I use ‘localhost’ and only matching the MySQL DB user & pass

After that went to http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/bbpress/

and copy&paste the result into my bb-config-sample.php

and DONE!

i just save it as bb-config.php

then with the Force in my mind, I opened http://www.ins-ide.org/forum

*D’oh!

I got this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting ‘)’ in /home/insideor/public_html/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 2124

with the curiosity I’m opened the functions.bb-template.php and seeing whats going on in line 2124,

well.. it is the last line and it says

Code:

function bb_profile_password_form( $id

could anyone helps me to get my forum build?

many thanks!

[chrishajer]

You will be able to delete spammy WordPress comments through the WordPress admin, but you can’t log in there. You need to reset your WordPress admin user password and undo the integration.

[Fernando Tellado]

I’m really shocked by this problem. Today, when I’ve visited my forum several forums have disappeared. Then, I go to the admin area, add some other forum and they appear again, made some changes in order of forums and disappear again … but the forums are there: if you click in any post of the forums disappeared you can see that the forum exists 🙄

What can be happened?

I use bbPress 1.0.4, by the way, and the forum url is http://ayudawordpress.com/foro/

[kanigerlandis]

Guess I have some work to do before our next conversation. Though it would seem I should be able to delete the spams through WordPress. I will post in forums there. Thank you so far.

[theburningbiscuit]

I followed the video tutorial posted in this forum and when I completed Step 3 it said everything had been created, but that the forum had failed to be installed. Then I deleted the config.php file and tried to install bbPress again, but this time it wouldn’t let me get past Step 1. When I tried to move on to Step 2 the page timed out and said Firefox could tell that some process would continue for forever. So I checked the database and realized all the files from before were there, so I deleted all the ones involving bbPress and then tried to run the installation again. I do Step 1 fine, and then I fill out all of Step 2 just fine, and when I click to move on to Step 3, it tells me that everything has been set up correctly and is linked (WordPress and bbPress sharing the same users). But then when I get to Step 3, at the top it says that I skipped Step 2.

I that point I thought that I might as well just go ahead and finish installing bbPress, even if the users aren’t linked, and it let me, and told me everything had been installed correctly. But the forum wasn’t set up and I checked the database and nothing had been added.

I’ve tried reinstalling bbPress on the server, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[chrishajer]

Is the WordPress site online somewhere, where these bbPress comments are being sent? If you did integrate a newer version of WordPress (2.6 or newer) with bbPress 0.9.0.2, that is the problem. There are significant changes between version 2.5.* and 2.6.* WordPress that make integration with specific versions of bbPress important:

WordPress 2.6 came out July 15, 2008<a/>.
