Sounds like you are using bbSync then, to create comments at WordPress when someone posts to the bbPress forum? I didn’t know bbSync worked like that, but it’s possible. So it sounds like someone posts in the forum, somehow that gets into WordPress, you get an email to moderate the comment, but you can’t log in to your WordPress admin panel?

What version bbPress and WordPress are you using? It sounds like you have incompatible version installed and your WordPress admin login no longer works due to integration? What versions did you install? Sounds like bbPress 0.9.0.2 – how about WordPress version?

I am trying to embed some javascript on my BBpress forum using this code from my WordPressblog.

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/js/prototype.js”></script>

What is the equivalent of <?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?> in BBpress?

[kanigerlandis]

WordPress- They say [Please Moderate]. Oh boy, am I confused. I have both folders. WP & bb press. When somebody posts to my forum, I get email from WordPress to please moderate. When I log in to admin, it says bbpress 0.9.0.2, but I cannot perform any functions from that page. When I answer email notices from WordPress, it will not accept a WordPress password. Boy, am I confused. The blog is bbpress but the emails come from WordPress.

[chrishajer]

Are you talking about bbPress or WordPress? There is no email notification of comments in bbPress unless you set it up for email notification of your favorites. Did you do that, or are you talking about WordPress?

It sounds like you’re talking about bbPress and WordPress, but they’re separate, and I can’t even see where you have WordPress installed?

Are the emails coming from bbPress or WordPress, and what is the URL for moderation?

[kanigerlandis]

I believe not. I believe that I am running on the original WordPress that I installed in August but had moved out to the desktop before trying to install current upgrade on Friday. But there is no new WordPress in my application folder.

[chrishajer]

You mentioned WordPress administration? Where is the WordPress site? I didn’t see it here: http://www.kanigerlandis.com/

Immelody!!!! thank you so much!

[Immelody]

Ganzuelo, go to your header.php. Scroll down to around line 95. Under the div id nav, you’ll see a lot of links. Just plug your URLs in there, and change the text to whatever you want it to be.

[Ganzuelo]

Hey Immelody nice work! How do you manually add the links in the bbpress theme?

[Immelody]

lolos, I apologize for taking so long to get back. You can download the themes together at http://www.asparenting.com/downloads/ASPtheme.zip . You’ll want to go into header.php in the bbpress template and manually edit the page links.

Honestly, it took me going through lots of different themes before coming to this one. I chose two themes from the same creator because generally, they’ll follow the same code. Then I had to figure out what was what. Such as with these themes, there was originally two sidebars for the wordpress theme, so I had to consolidate.

BTW, I haven’t figured out what to do about the granny font size. For now, I’m going to keep it the way it is. I’m not able to reproduce the error even when I granny size.

Hey,

I have a wordpress forum @ http://www.holysh1t.net for the quake live CTF community.

I recently installed a bbpress forum to go with that. Seems to work pretty fine besides some inital errors.

Yet now I face this problem where It does not automaticly link people’s account when they signed up via front end of the wordpress. All the registered users in wordpress had to be manually given in a role in bbpress. The same thing applies for new registrations in wordpress.

However, if I sign up via the forum stuff works great.

This is the menu I get when someone made an account via front end:

http://www.holysh1t.net/files/bridge_error.png

If I click any role and then save, it corrects itself and the user can post. The long error is replaced by whichever role I chose. (member/admin,etc…)

Now I have to manually assign a role each time someone signs up through wordpress instead of bbpress.

WordPress: 2.7

bbpress: 10 alpha 4

Any ideas?

Thanks for the support and I greatly appreciate the effort put into this great piece of code!

Greetings,

Nico

Wow, this thread has attracted some really well-known (infamous?) WordPress people.

Just tried to integrate bbpress and wordpress, and now I can’t login to bbpress. I had two users set up in my forum — a key master and a normal user — and I’m getting responses that neither exist. I’m wondering if the problem may be related to the “Locked Out” thread of a couple of weeks back, but I’m not getting any error message when I try call the forum. But neither of my user names is recognized, and I donno how to get into admin to see if they’re still there. I’m using 0.9.0.3 bbpress and 2.7 wordpress. I installed both of them separately then later tried to effect the integration; they reside in separate databases on the server (ddigger1_final and ddigger1_bbpress); bbpress is in a subdirectory of public_html, as is wordpress.

Any suggestions on how to fix it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Question, any reason why, after making sure all the keys matched between the two, I’d still be getting this error:

>>> Fetching missing WordPress cookie salts.

>>>>>> WordPress “auth” cookie salt not set.

>>>>>> WordPress “secure auth” cookie salt not set.

>>>>>> WordPress “logged in” cookie salt not set.

[theburningbiscuit]

I followed all the steps and did ‘Complete the Installation’ and it said everything was correct but then said the forum failed to be created. When I try and go to the forum it will load for a little while and then say Firefox can tell that this process won’t end. I tried taking everything off my server and retrying it and I’m following the instructions again and now I can’t get past Step 1. When I try and click to go to Step 2, I get the same page from before saying Firefox can tell that this process won’t end, or something to that effect. Any idea of what the issue could be?

I’m using WordPress 2.7 and the newest Alpha build of bbPress.

Hi,

I’ve been using wordpress for a while was looking for a good way to integrate a forum with my site tried out bbPress seems great so far.

I’ve made a template to match my main site you can find it at http://www.webguideuk.com/forum

My site is a tutorial site for web design with tutorials and forum to get further help/chat.

Let me know what you think.

[jimgroom]

@ehegwer,

I was having the same problem, then sambauers told me this:

You can either define the COOKIEHASH in WPMU or define each cookie name individually in WPMU

The COOKIEHASH is the letter jumble part of each cookie name after the last underscore.

So, put define(‘COOKIEHASH’, ” ); in your wp-config file, and place the cookie hash between the single-quote (I found this by viewing my cookies after logging in through the brower and taking the alpha-numeric string following the wordpress_

I saw something like this:

wordpress_f8jhg89q00w…

Make any sense?

[gogoplata]

I’ve sync’ed the keys/salts between bbPress and WPMU, defined COOKIE_DOMAIN (‘.domain.com) and COOKIEPATH (‘/’) in wp-config, installed the wordpress plugin, and defined the COOKIEHASH in WPMU (wp-settings.php) based on the speed-up settings in bbPress and still no luck with cookie sharing.

I’m running bbPress 1.0-alpha-4 and WPMU 2.7.

Is there anything I’ve left out and/or overlooked?

Thanks!

Went to upgrade to current version bbPress. Got stuck at 2) Upload uncompressed files? To where, how? “cause then I visited URL and was not greeted by installer, so I guess I did not upload files correctly. It said to rename config.php to old and save, but then does not say what to do with it. I am getting horribly spammed. When I get moderate emails from WordPress, follow link, it will not accept my password to delete or mark as spam. So I want to install Bad Behavior. Can’t figure that one out either. I go to admin page and can’t admin anything. At this point I think I should just shut the blog down. Do you think there any hope?

[adam613]

A little about me: I’m working on a hobby web site. It was going to have a forum, a few database-based applications I’ve written the back-end for, and in the process of deciding what should go on the front page, I figured I should start a blog too. I have a version of the site sort of written using phpBB as the the forum and the templating engine for the web apps, but it’s very frustrating getting phpBB to do what I want it to do…you really can’t do much without editing the core code. On the recommendation of a co-worker, I decided to check out WordPress/bbPress. I’m not sure WP/bbPress is the right solution, but I haven’t found anything I like better….it seems like it’s pretty easy to rearrange things on the page and add new elements as needed.

What I want: My forum should appear on the site similar to a Page. I don’t think I need “deep integration”…I’m not terribly concerned about data integration, other than the fact that signing into WP should sign you into the forums and vice versa. I don’t need the forum to be able to interact with other pages on the site…if I need data from my other apps in the forum, I’ll just grab it from the database using a forum plugin. But I am concerned about appearance integration…I want the WP header and footer, including my logo and nav bar, to show up at the top of the forum page, and I want the forum theme to be similar to (if not identical to) the WP theme.

What’s the safest way to make this happen? I’m very new to WP/bbPress, but I’m not afraid to write code…a certain major website pays me a good bit of money do so during the week

[Ehegwer]

Howdy!

Just wanted to see if anyone had a fix for a salt value. I’m working on installing the latest bbpress alpha 1.0.4a intp wordpress mu 2.6.5 with working buddypress integration. I can log into wordpress and bbpress independently, but the values aren’t passing.

Here’s how I’ve mapped the keys and salts (notice one is missing):

????? –> WordPress “auth” cookie salt

SECURE_AUTH_SALT –> WordPress “secure auth” cookie salt

LOGGED_IN_SALT –> WordPress “logged in” cookie salt

AUTH_KEY –> BB_AUTH_KEY

SECURE_AUTH_KEY –> BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY

LOGGED_IN_KEY –> BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY

I’ve tried almost everything, and was hoping someone had a solution.

Cheers,

E

thanks A1ex. Can you tell me how to add links back to wordpress from bbpress? http://www.willclan4food.net/bbpress/

[A1ex]

See https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/link-to-forum-from-wordpress

[overide]

So just figurd out that this only happens if a use registers from wordpress, if a user registers from bbpress everything works great in bbpress and wordpress so for now ill just make everyone register through bbpress but this seems to be some coding bug that people might want to check into.

[Famous]
