Okay I’ll play with it some more and see what I can do.
update: the problem lies within make_clickable which has nofollow hard coded and impossible to “unfilter” at that level
I’ll have to come up with a way to do it at display time and cleanup the mess bbpress (actually wordpress functions) create
Very nice theme. A great candidate for an accompanying WordPress theme too.
My first thought on just copying index.php over and changing require('./bb-load.php'); to require('./forums/bb-load.php'); didn’t work (which is how it works for wordpress), though it may work if you do that and then changed the location in settings.
See https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory for ideas?
They should be added with the lowest privilege, yes. I’ve noticed that they seem to get added as ‘None’ until they log in to WordPress for the first time with a 2.6.3/1.0alpha2 setup.
This is the installation procedure right?
Quick Instructions
1. Download bbPress from the download page
2. Upload the uncompressed files your server
3. Optionally upload language files to bb-includes/languages/ – You will have to create this directory
4. Visit the intended URL of the bbPress site
5. You will be greeted with the bbPress installer
6. Follow the instructions in the installer
7. Visit “Settings” in the admin area to customise your installation
8. If you have any questions, ask in the forums
In procedure number 3, i cant understand this step. I don’t know where i would got to, to initialize this step. And where is the language files? And where I can find the URL you talking about in Step no. 4? Sorry for too many questions, I’m a newbie here in wordpress. Waiting for a immediate reply.
Here’s a quick tip for anyone running an integrated WP+BB setup…
Sometimes you’ll find users who haven’t been properly mapped into bbPress roles, so here is a quick MySQL statement to make them all members:
insert into wp_usermeta (user_id, meta_key, meta_value) select user_id, 'bb_capabilities' as meta_key, 'a:1:{s:6:"member";b:1;}' as meta_value from wp_usermeta where user_id not in (select user_id from wp_usermeta where meta_key = 'bb_capabilities') group by user_id;
(It adds a bb_capabilities record to the wp_usermeta table for each user who doesn’t have one. Thus, broken accounts become members. Yay!)
Have fun.
I noticed that the cookie & secret related data changed between WordPress 2.6.2 and 2.6.3. Now I am able to find the information that bbPress 0.9.0.2 requests when attempting to integrate with WordPress.
Does this mean that WP 2.6.3 fixes the cookie-related issues that led to the edict “Do not try to integrate WP 2.6 and bbPress 0.9”? Or is that still a bad idea?
and no, I haven’t tried to integrate the two in my latest install. I’m still trying to deal with some of my other install issues. I’ve stopped trying to integrate until I actually have the forum working.
I’d like my forum address to be my root domain URL: zarathud.org/
So long as bbpress’ “subdirectories” such as “zarathud.org/topic/” don’t conflict with other, real directories (such as “zarathud.org/blogs/”), I figure that should work alright.
However, I don’t want to dump all the bbpress files in my root directory. I’d rather keep them in a resource folder. I can do this with wordpress by putting an edited wordpress index.php file in the home dir. (I just edit the page’s require function to point to the correct location) Unfortunately, this didn’t work for bbpress.
I imagine I’m not the only one doing this; what’s the working solution, please?
(bbpress 0.9.0.2 )
Ok…..here is what I have in my (root) WP install folder:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^travel-writers-exchange.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/Forum/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I also modified my .htaccess file in /Forum as follows:
Options -MultiViews
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /Forum/
</IfModule>
No 500 Server error – Yaay! this is progress….slugs are still disabled.
Ah okay. Well the “slugs” part will be the last part after the .htaccess is working to finally get slugs.
We should probably approach this in baby steps to see what triggers it.
That “Multiple Choices” error is not good.
It means MultiViews is still ON for some reason when it should not be. Maybe you did the MultiViews turn off incorrectly?
Right now I assume the webroot has a .htaccess with Options -MultiViews at the top, then the rest of what you listed above for WordPress. Like so:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^travel-writers-exchange.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/Forum/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Now in /Forums/ I want you to make a reduced .htaccess file like this:
Options -MultiViews
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /Forum/
</IfModule>
Make that minimal amount and see if it that still functions without a 500 error. (keep the slugs disabled for now)
I seem to be having the admin login problem as well. I checked the salt settings and they match. I think this is a problem with the login integration. When I login to wordpress first I can post comments to bbpress but that is about it. The bbpress logout button is broken and wordpress doesn’t seem to recognize bbpress-originated logins.
It certainly is close though. I’ll dive into the code to see if I can’t figure it out.
No luck
Here is my root .htacces:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^travel-writers-exchange.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/Forum/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Root (WP install) works fine, but when I put the .htaccess file in /Forum then I still get the 500 error….
I have to run out but will be back in about 1/2 hour…..
Ah I forgot it’s wordpress integrated – that’s your whole problem with 500 error. I have to lookup the workaround.
Okay lets see if this sheds any light:
here is the htaccess file from my root:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^travel-writers-exchange.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Here is the htaccess I would put in my /Forum directory, if it didn’t trigger the 500 error 
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /Forum/
RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /Forum/forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^topic/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /Forum/topic.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^topic/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/topic.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /Forum/tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/tags.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/?$ /Forum/tags.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /Forum/profile.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /Forum/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/?$ /Forum/profile.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^view/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /Forum/view.php?view=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^view/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/view.php?view=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/?$ /Forum/rss.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/topics/?$ /Forum/rss.php?topics=1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/forum/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/rss.php?forum=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/forum/([^/]+)/topics/?$ /Forum/rss.php?forum=$1&topics=1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/topic/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/rss.php?topic=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/tags/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/rss.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/profile/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/rss.php?profile=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/view/([^/]+)/?$ /Forum/rss.php?view=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
I’ve verified that there are no errant spaces or line breaks……it doesn’t look to me like there are syntax errors or conflicts, but I’m no expert……
Hi,
bbpres 0.9.0.2
Im exhausted looking for a solution so i post, after a clean install in hostgator, when I click on Latest Discussions ADD NEW link, while not logged, I get a link similar as:
http://www.domain.com/forum/bb-login.php?re=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.domain.com%2Fforum%2F%3Fnew%3D1
and after clicking on it: I got a WordPress 404 not found page.
I have tried adding and .htaccess in my bbpress directory with Options +MultiViews
I have turned off-on pretty permalinks,
I have installed a wordpress 404 fixer plugin,
But nothing works,
Only if is logged a user the ADD NEW link works.
Please helpme I am on a deadline weekend.
best regards
monica
I have the same exact same problem with wp 2.6.3 and bbpress 1.0-alpha, divided db but integrated login and cookie.
I guess it could be solved by making all login throgh bbpress but it’s annoying.
I just moved WordPress and bbPress to a new host. Everything is working fine with both apps except I can no longer log into bbPress with my WP account and the posts using the BBpress Latest Discussions plugin are no longer displaying.
The bb-config.php file is configured correctly because the forum posts are displaying. Is there an .htaccess file elsewhere than the root that’s missing? Is it a permission issue?
Any clue what I’m missing?
Thanks,
Gio
I couldn’t find an adequate newsletter system for WordPress, so I wrote my own. It isn’t hard to set something up with swiftmailer and just query your mysql database to get the user info.
OK, I guess I should modify that last posting. I now have tabs off to the right called “Profile”, “Edit” and “Favorites”. I still don’t see any WordPress integration section of the bbPress admin area, however.
globetrotterdk: I don’t know that they normally are in the wp-config.php file. You need to pull the options from the database using this URL:
http://www.example.com/wp-admin/options.php
Search that page for “salt” and you’ll see the settings WordPress is using.
Hi,
I was wondering whether there’s a plug in which creates a new forum topic in bbPress and links to it everytime I post a new WordPress post?
This has three plus points:
-Forums are a more organized/structured system than a blog comments system
-In addition to being a comments system, users can also start their own threads
-Topics per post encourages users to join the forums/register at your site
Here’s an example of how it’s done (WP + PHPBB topics per post plugin)
http://www.alfredodehoces.com/wp2bb/
I hope there’s a WP + BBP version of that plugin.
I have the exact same problem, luckily the site isn’t online yet, but I really need wordpress 2.6.x and bbpress to work together..
Anyone know when they are planning to bring out a (more) stable version of bbpress 1?
I know this issue has been raised several times before (example posts: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/newsletter-by-email#post-3596 , http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-request-weekly-newsletter#post-16847 ).
I too would find it very helpful to have a way of sending out a newsletter to forum members (with the option to opt in at signup). I do not use WordPress on my website so integrating BBPress with WP is not an option. Is a newsletter plugin for BBPress going to be developed?
Thanks.
Dan
If you are using WordPress, you need to read this about WordPress integration, to have access to WordPress functions like get_footer, get_sidebar and get_header.

Hey,
I have tried bbSync to replace my wordpress comment system with forum posts, but it doesn`t seem to work with wp 2.6.3 + bbpress 1.0a2.
I wanna redirect my users to my forum instead of the comments section
Is there any other way to do it ?
