Hello! This is my very first bbpress theme. It is based off of the WordPress theme “Modmat” (http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/modmat#post-27) by chrismou (http://mou.me.uk/)

Like I said, this is my first theme, so ANY constructive criticism is MUCH appreciated. Also, if you find any kind of mistakes, please let me know!

This theme was designed for both 0.9.0.2 and 1.0 Alpha.

I did cleare the cookies and cache but was not able to signin even in wordpress.

I ll try by restarting the pc after clearing all cookies and cache. In fact i use 2 to 3 browsers at a time. IE , Opera, and safari.

[chrishajer]

Have you tried clearing your cookies? Since you changed the keys for WordPress and bbPress, the cookies will be different and your old ones might be fouling things up.

You can also contact me off list and I might be able to help you.

Ok i tell you what i did… i replaced the BB_Secret_key with only alphabetic and numeric but even then i couldnt login.

Then i changed the keys of wordpress too with alphabetic and numberic only but then i couldnt login to wordpress too. I was having same login problem and same error message as i am having with bbpress.

So then i replaced the wp-config file with old one and then i was able to login. Problem still exists with bbpress.

Please read my above post too and tell me what to do thanks a lot for this help.

[hanjra]

Thanks for this.. yes that is right i was using that wordpress key… now tell me ,, will i have to change the key of my wordpress too or only i need to change the key of bbpress. Or i ll have to remove all the bbpress tables and then install again or just change the key only.

ps: if i want to integrate the bbpress with wordpress then what will i have to do.. to change the key of wordpress too??

[chrishajer]

If you used the WordPress secret key generator API to create the keys for WordPress and are using those keys for bbPress, it’s entirely possible the key works fine in WordPress but not bbPress.

code

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘*******’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘*****’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘******’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change these last few

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old bb-config.php does

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them

// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

// Change BB_SECRET_KEY to a unique phrase. You won’t have to remember it later,

// so make it long and complicated. You can visit https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm

// to get a phrase generated for you, or just make something up.

// If you are integrating logins with WordPress, you will need to match the value

// of the “SECRET_KEY” in the WordPress file wp-config.php

define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, ‘*************************************’); // Change this to a unique phrase.

// If you are running multiple bbPress installations in a single database,

// you will probably want to change this.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BB_LANG’, ”);

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BB_PATH’) )

define(‘BB_PATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BB_PATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

?>

That is my bb-config.php

I take it there is no quick fix to get out of this dilemna? I don’t understand why, but now we are also unable to log into our word press blog.

My plan is to uninstill bbpress, then attempt to install it to the wordpress database. I’m on the road now and won’t have an opportunity to do this till tomorrow. If anybody knows of a quick fix to get our wordpress blog working, it would be great.

If you are not on 2.6 yet, stay with 2.5 and install bbPress 0.9

bbPress 1.0 is in ALPHA and not ready for active sites that use/need plugins. Many of my plugins have issues with 1.0 because of many internal changes.

bbPress integration is easy and takes just a few minutes if you have a typical server and standard setup.

There are a several large sites using bbPress (including WordPress.org) so it handles high traffic just fine.

I’ve never heard of anyone converting from Simple:Press, you’ll have to search for it. If you can get it into PHPBB2 format, several people have converted from that.

[rpophessagr]

It works now! I hddn’t set up the “wordpress integration” with the new installation.

Thanks for your help!

[rpophessagr]

I upgraded to alpha. It was working fine. then I added the line:

if (file_exists(‘../wp-blog-header.php’))

require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);

into the bb-conig file. This time, instead of not letting me log in, now it does, but it wont let me go into the admin area…

any ideas?

[geekymom]

Thanks for both your responses. We decided to move the database to the same server. I’m now having issues with the WordPress cookies, but at least that’s a new problem!

[citizenkeith]

I’m a member of a few forums that send out announcements.

Some hosts will limit the number of emails you can send at once though. Dreamhost, for instance, has a limit of 100 per hour (one of the many reasons I’ll be leaving them soon).

It would be overkill for some sites, but it would be nice to have a plugin for PHPList that would share a WordPress and/or bbPress user database; one that would allow user control of mailing list preferences in the WordPress or bbPress profile.

[danvollans]

Based on the settings you chose, or whoever installed it on your server, there is an option to allow remote connections to the database. I’m assuming you’re using mysql for your database. The most probable cause is that either you’re running a firewall that is blocking port 3306 (default port) or you just simply don’t have remote access set up.

http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/remotemysql.htm

That is a fairly straight-forward and decent guide to setting up mysql for remote access. If you have any questions you can ask me and I’ll do my best to help!

[rpophessagr]

thank you for your help!

I upgraded and it worked like a charm.

I inserted the line in my config file and it works now.

THank you for your help!

[rpophessagr]

{light bulb} ahhh! I have 0.9.0.2 installed… i’ll try the alpha

thankyou! can i just “upgrade”? or do i have to do a clean install?

[chrishajer]

I see you’re running WordPress 2.6.1. What version bbPress did you install? I think I asked that before but I must have missed the answer. The alpha branch of bbPress is compatible with WordPress 2.6.* but the 0.9 branch is not.

[chrishajer]

You can do it that way, but if you are getting a database connection error, there is something wrong with your database connection details.

I use one server for the database and one for the web server, so I know it will work. Sounds like you just haven’t figured out the proper connection details.

Can you connect to the database box from a linux command line?

[geekymom]

I may be going about this the hard way, but I thought I’d see if anyone had an answer for me. I’m not a sysadmin, but I play one on tv, or at the very least, can find my way around a linux box pretty well. Here’s what I’m trying to do. I have WordPress Mu running on server a and I have bbpress installed on server b. I want to have bbpress use the user tables of the WordPress Mu db. Every time I’ve tried to do this, I’m getting a db connection error. I know I have the username and password correct. I put in the db host as http://www.servera.com. Is there something I’m missing completely? Should I just give up trying to do it this way?

By the way, I’ve tried this with .9 and no go there either. I really can’t go back to WPMU 2.5 because we have a key plugin that requires 2.6.

[matthijs]

I’ve integrated the 1.0 alpha release of BBpress together with WP2.61 successfully in 2 places now. Works great so far.

What I did: install wp in root the normal way. Then put bb files in subdirectory /forums/. Install bb. Follow instructions carefully. I also made my bb-config file writable, that prevented some errors as well.

[rpophessagr]

if i remove the line: if (file_exists(‘../wp-blog-header.php’))

require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);

then this does not happen.

This happens with any theme i put up.

[rpophessagr]

no error, no failure.

i’ll set it up so you can see

try logging in with

UN: guest1

PW: q%dxPv8&xBz1

greenprophet.com/exegesis

as you can see it acts completely normal, it just looks like you never logged in…

thanks

[Idiom]

I can not figure out where i went wrong.. I’m using the latest 1.0 alpha release at 2.6. Everything apperas to work as expected (users exist in both systems, etc). However, the auto login is not working. I believe i followed the instructions to the “T”. Heres the stored cookie for both systems.

WordPress cookie after login:

BBpress immediatly after logging into wordpress:

any ideas?

1.0-alpha now includes php-mailer from WordPress.

I’ve added a plugin for 1.0-alpha to allow sending of email via an SMTP server. https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/smtp-mailer-for-bbpress/

[chrishajer]

What happens when you try to log in? The log in fails, or you are redirected to the form, or you get some sort of error message?
