Okay, I did some testing of

$bb->wp_home = 'http://ipstenu.org'; and $bb->wp_home = 'http://ipstenu.org/bblog'; and ffft.

So. This doesn’t really bother me much, since I don’t mind people double-logging in. It’s only annoying in the realm of I hate when code doesn’t work right!

WP 2.6.3, BP 1.0-alpha-2

bb-config

// WordPress cookie integration speedup

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://jorjafox.net/blog';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://jorjafox.net';

$bb->cookiedomain = '.jorjafox.net';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->authcookie = 'wordpress_DELETED';

$bb->secure_auth_cookie = 'wordpress_sec_DELETED';

$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_';

$bb->admin_cookie_path = '/forums/bb-admin';

$bb->core_plugins_cookie_path = '/forums/bb-plugins';

$bb->user_plugins_cookie_path = '/forums/my-plugins';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '/';

$bb->wp_admin_cookie_path = '/blog/wp-admin';

$bb->wp_plugins_cookie_path = '/blog/wp-content/plugins';

// End integration speedups

WP-config

// Cookies

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.jorjafox.net');

define('COOKIEPATH', '/' );

I’ve also tried with no cookie settings in my wp-config. Right now it’s commented out. It’s sharing the admin cookie, since I can get into WP-admin if I log in with BBpress, but I don’t show up as a user (if I go to make a comment, it gives me the screen anon users see). If I log in via WP, I’m only logged into WP.

Which versions of WordPress and bbPress are you installing?

Does this thread help at all?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-10-alpha-2-released/page/2

[mzimmers]

What notes are you referring to? The inline notes in step 2 for the “WordPress cookie secret key” say:

This value must match the value of the constant named “SECRET_KEY” in your WordPress wp-config.php file. This will replace the bbPress cookie secret key set in the first step.

The inline notes for the WordPress database secret say:

This must match the value of the WordPress setting named “secret” in your WordPress installation. Look for the option labeled “secret” in this WordPress admin page. If you leave this blank the installer will try to fetch the value based on your WordPress database integration settings.

Am I missing another source of notes? These don’t tell me what I need to know. Thanks…

[chrishajer]

To get the database connection details, either look in wp-config.php in your WordPress installation, or get them from your cPanel.

[chrishajer]

You can install bbPress in the same database as WordPress, it will use a table prefix of bb_ by default. It’s actually recommended to use the same database if you’re going to try integration at some point. So, there’s no need to create a new database, just use the connection details for the database you use for WordPress and ensure the table prefixes are different. By default, WordPress uses wp_ and bbPress uses bb_.

[chrishajer]

I think the bbPress Live WordPress plugin will do what you want.

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

“bbPress Live allows the display of information from

a bbPress 1.0 forum from inside a WordPress blog.”

[mzimmers]

OK, that seemed to work. Now…when the new install asks me for the WordPress cookie secret key…what do I give it? There are three keys in my wp-config.php file.

Also, what is this WordPress database secret? I’m not aware of anything like that.

These are in step 2 of the bb install, BTW.

Thanks.

Hi ,

I just installed bbpress 1.0-alpha-2 with wordpress 2.6.3, but not intergete with wordpress. the installation is very smooth. but when I access my forum, got Http 404 error(page not found). and my server supports permalink . following is my bb-config.php, please help to take a look.thanks a lot.

I am trying to install the bbpress tool. I am not very skilled at what I am doing, kind of learn as you go. I have a site vuuch.com and a wp blog at vuuch.com/wordpress. I now want to install bbpress. I have downloaded the install, extracted it and copied to /forum. When i go there I am asked a bunch of things I am not real sure about. This is where I am stuck. My wp blog was installed using godday app installer, so I was removed from so details…

I get “There doesn’t seem to be a bb-config.php file. This usually means that you want to install bbPress” which I think is normal. There is a bb-config-sample.php file at the location.

Questions:

What is the database it is looking for? My guess is i either point it at the wp db or create another one. I would like to create another, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO THIS???

If there are other things I will need to know on the next few step, please point them out.

I think I need to use something call c-panel to create the db but I am not sure nor do I know how to run this…

Thanks so much

great post problem solved

I’m using a translator, I would like to import my phpbb 3 for wordpress the easy way and practice …

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I have this:

$bb->wp_home = 'http://ipstenu.org';

Since I did this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory ages and ages ago.

But the rest, essentially, yes

[John James Jacoby]

@lorenzo: Let me ask a question to clarify. If I understand correctly, it sounds like you want to import your blog posts from WordPress and make them topic posts in bbPress?

@everyone: I am dedicating this evening to trying to work out where the process is failing. Right now, if you do NOT need to use ANY of the WordPress functions in your bbPress theme, the integration works perfectly. Logging in and out of either/or works perfectly with wp2.7 and bbp1.0a2. If you skip step 5 in my above process, there are no operational issues, only theme integration issues by not being able to use the WordPress functions.

[jwxie]

let me clean up what i said above

i just did another test

it happened that, if you created abc123 from bbpress

you can’t login wordpress (it will turned to cookie error, i am using firefox)

you will have to first use admin account, and then go to site-admin -> users, and make abc123 from No role to one of the role, let’s say editor.

now, you can login

and also, i can’t login at the same time

i can’t login abc123 in wordpress but bbpress is still not login yet.

why

[jwxie]

hey klarko, thanks a lot

just another quick question

everything went fine, i did everything in the admin panel

now, when i tested registration in bbpress, it worked, but i tried to login from wordpress, doesn’t work

i mean i created a new user name abc from bbpress

it worked in bbpress,. but i can’t login in from wordpress mu

is that the case? or something went wrong?

I am trying to install bbPress version 0.9.0.2

Installation URL: http://forums.seocoalition.com

Hosting data:

Operating system Linux

Apache version 2.2.10 (Unix)

PHP version 5.2.6

MySQL version 5.0.51

So it goes through the whole process and completes it, but when you go to the main page, there is nothing. No error messages, no output, nothing at all.

Since I don’t know what the problem is, I am at a lost as to what to do. I search of the forums hasn’t provided any answers.

Here is the end of installer message:

Referrer is OK, beginning installation…

Step 1 – Creating database tables

>>> Create table bb_forums

>>> Create table bb_posts

>>> Create table bb_topics

>>> Create table bb_topicmeta

>>> Create table bb_users

>>> Create table bb_usermeta

>>> Create table bb_tags

>>> Create table bb_tagged

Step 2 – WordPress integration (optional)

>>> Integration not enabled

Step 3 – Site settings

>>> Site name: Internet Marketing forums

>>> Site address (URL): http://forums.seocoalition.com/

>>> From email address: seocoalition@gmail.com

Installation complete!

For security reasons I have X’d out the password.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

klarko, may i ask you a question

for the wpmu, did you just use the default integration provided by the bbpress installation?

and for the wordpress url and blog url, what do you write?

i mean, if i have a couple blogs already,which one should i use?

will i miss any user if i choose one not the other 3 blogs?

I’m not a fan of XML-RPC myself but it’s a feature Matt wanted to pioneer. He mentioned it in one of his first announcements about bbPress. He wanted some features no other forum has. Given that it’s his “baby” he can guide it in any direction he feels fit of course.

bbPress is just like WordPress in one major way – if you don’t like something, or want to make it better – get coding.

WordPress didn’t have documentation for YEARS. You can find many complaints about it. Even as recent as 2.0 I believe. But look at it now.

bbPress is the same way. And in a couple years, newcomers will wonder what the heck you were complaining about.

Last but not least, in fact most importantly, you’re working with a pre 1.0, pre-release project – what exactly are you expecting? Features aren’t even locked in yet.

I only learned PHP a few years ago and I figured out how to code for bbPress, 100% without documentation. If I can do it, anyone can.

[Silvanovicz]

Hi John – _CK_’s pluging bring up related topics, but this plugin only works in bbPress.

I’m after a plugin that shows related topics on a WordPress article (so you’d be able to show related posts and related topics on the forum).

[_ck_]

Their server might have networked storage (NFS) which WordPress runs poorly on. bbPress 1.0 will have similar issues because of the sheer number of files.

But try installing bb-benchmark on the bbPress side and try this great-grandfather of bb-benchmark on the WordPress side (jeromes-query-diagnostics). I’ve been too busy to port bb-benchmark back to wordpress unfortunately.
