What does this integration actually means?
Does it mean that if I install bbpress and wordpress, i can make posts to my forum trough wordpress – which again means I can use rss feeds for that, so a post on a rss feed would be a post on the forum?
Thanks
I am trying to integrate WPMU 2.6 and bbPress 1.0, it will let WordPress users login but the privileges don’t work, I end up having to delete the wordpress integration setting for table prefix to get the old bbpress users to work.
This mini-plugin will fix your layout/graphics
for visitors that insist on using IE 8.0
function fix_ie8() {if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"MSIE 8")) {header("X-UA-Compatible: IE=7");}}
add_action('bb_send_headers','fix_ie8'); // for bbPress
add_action('send_headers','fix_ie8'); // for WordPress
Essentially it makes IE8 render like IE7 by sending a special (invisible) header only to IE8 users.
Problem solved.
It blows my mind that a page that can render perfectly in Opera – which is THE standards browser – can be messed up by Microsoft attempting to conform to standards. What a (continued) waste of everyone’s time.
ps. For those that don’t want to install IE8 permanently to just test their sites, this version will run in it’s own virtual box so it doesn’t affect the rest of your system:

hi,
i use the alpha 1, if i want to update, i just simply put the new files and erase the old? with wordpress, the bdd is updated too, what about bbpress?
thanks. bye!
I was thinking when I read the subject line that this would be criticism of the amount of change between versions and the amount of work required to update the plugins for each new release. It took WordPress a while to get to their “automated notification” for plugins. Maybe it will take a while for something like that for bbPress.
1. Number of tags: in your template file, where the tags are displayed, there is a call to bb_tag_heat_map – that accepts parameters, the last of which is the number of tags to return. Put whatever you want in there. The first two parameters are font min and font max size, and the next parameter is what measure to use for the font sizes.
<?php bb_tag_heat_map( 9, 38, 'pt', 80 ); ?>
That’s 9pts minimum, 38pts maximum, return the top 80 tags
2. No suggestions for you there. Not sure I understand the concern.
3. This can be done in your template files as well.
Maybe it will be helpful for somebody:
if you have a problem with bbpress logout after “wp & bbpress integration” — delete cookies in your browser and try agan.
It works for me (wp 2.5.1, bbpress 0.9.0.2)
ok i figured it out, there was an issue where the bbpress and wordpress were using two different databases for users, once i made them coincie with each other, everything worked…..
thanks for your help!
I’ve installed bbpress .9.0.2 and I’m not integrating with WordPress. The install went fine, but when I log in as the keymaster, I see the link to the Admin area, but clicking on it does nothing. I’ve looked at a couple of other posts about this but they were for earlier versions, so I don’t think they’re going to solve my problem. Help greatly appreciated.
I’ve been trying to install and integrate wp 2.5.1 and bbPress 0.9 a couple of times to have both cookie- and userdata integrated, but after removing all databases and configfiles two times in a row and reinstalling I still get this error in my bbPress-installation:
Duplicate key name ‘user_nicename’
>>> User tables will already exist when performing a database integrated installation.
What causes this error?
However, I can skip using wordpress registration page to solve this..
My setup is fully working, except :
when a user register via wordpress, he dont get the good capabilities, so he can’t post on bbpress!
user registered via bbpress get the good capabilities (a:1:{s:6:”member”;b:1;} in wp_usermeta).
In the admin integration option (http://domain.tld/forums/bb-admin/options-wordpress.php), I mapped wordpress subscribers to bbPress members.
How can I fix this ?
Thanks!
btw, does some know if there is a planned release date for bbPress 1.0 ?
That did it! Thanks very much 
Most likely due to selecting permalinks but not setting up the .htaccess file with rewrite rules.

Hi
I have a wordpress install in the top directory and then a bbpress install sitting in the /bbpress/ directory. Whenever I go to a forum page, profile pages, post pages etc., I get the WordPress 404 taking over saying it doesn’t exist.
Is this something I can fix?
Thanks!

the keymaster sees things normally. only new admins and mods have this issue. yes, its as if the new admins and mods cant access the database that logs the forums. i am at a loss to how this is. especially after ive deleted all plugins and even created a new member and upgraded to admin. same issue. the only thing i can see is that there is an update for wordpress 2.6.1…….could that be an issue?
I don’t think that’s possible, and probably something that the makers of BBpress should change. It says under settings that: “Changes do not affect users with existing roles in both WordPress and bbPress.” I’ll have to delete my user and then recreate it. Then that role will be assigned. But I don’t think it will change any existing members. Thanks again.
It worked! Actually, I found out that all my wordpress users were members. I picked the right one out by their ID and changed them to keymaster and the admin link came back. I still don’t know what happened to the original keymaster but that’s ok, I don’t need it. Thank you for sticking with me and helping me out.
Are you using any plugins that could cause this? Maybe the Display Name plugin? I’ve heard that creates trouble for some people.
I’m sure there’s a way to fix this through the database. Have you created a regular member you can log in as? If so, then you just need to promote them to keymaster in the database. Try this:
Deleted Admin in WordPress- now no Keymaster in BBPress
There was this old trick too – not sure if it still works:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/no-site-keymasters?replies=6#post-909
Yeah, after the integration all of my members from WordPress could log in just fine into Bbpress. But the thing is that none of them can get into the admin. Only the keymaster had that access and it disappeared right after I set the cookies. I even tried setting the user roles before integrating so that my admin account would have keymaster access and it didn’t work. I’ve looked into the database and it says that the keymaster is there but when I log in it says that it’s username does not exist. Is there another way to fix this through the database?
*couldn’t edit my previous post anymore – hence the double*
Hehe, I’m mighty proud now! I figured I’d check the config-files for both installation and see whether the information was matched or not (not having any idea what so ever if that could be the problem) and I found the different security-keys wasn’t identical – so I fixed that.
Now I have commenced mapping the role-maps and everything seems to be on track again. Thanks a lot for this guide and for making the systems compatible, saved me (well probably) an immense amount of time!
Well, the installation (with full wp-integration) went as smooth as it could have, but the index.php doesn’t want to load. Not even when fully referred to in the URL (/forums/index.php).
My ftp-client sees the full installation and the content of the file seems to be ok. What settings could cause this error other than the URL actually not being valid, though I can’t figure out why that should be? 
EDIT: I found that Firefox can open and read the readme.txt and licence.txt just fine, but it wont execute the php-files properly… this is just wierd?? What the heck did I miss here?
The password normally contains special characters and that’s fine. That’s how I can usually tell if the bbPress is an old version or new version, based on the password being sent out when you register.
There is no problem with having special characters in the secret keys: it’s just that if they’re not properly escaped, the server will choke on the config file because the bb-config.php does not have proper syntax.
So, make sure the keys are the same for WordPress and bbPress, make sure the bb-config.php is syntactically correct (php -l bb-config.php from a Linux command line) and then figure out why you can’t log in.
You can also make the secret keys really short and easy to compare while testing to see if that’s the problem.
It’s also worthwhile to check any php file you edited for the proper syntax. Maybe once you log in, you are being served another page that has a syntax error (a template file?) and that is causing the blank screen.
Also, access to error logs will help with this, if you have them.
If beta is the new stable (thanks Google) then alpha is the new beta?
In a test installation (just copy all your WordPress files and database) you can’t really hurt anything. Just use it and see if it works enough for you.
I guess I’ll try then, “beta” is the new “stable” nowdays anyway, how bad could it get ^^
EDIT: wp is installed in /blog, what is the recommended path for the bbPress in that case, if any?
My advice would be to install it in a test instance and use it. See how unstable it is for yourself. Only you can make the determination if it’s ready enough for you or not.
