My issue is resolved. There was an issue with the user tables not collaborating, so I put WPMU 2.6 and bbPress 1.0 Alpha in separate databases, and followed _ck_’s tutorial on install. I also used the plugin for loss of admin access. Everything now works beautifully. (so far! )

WordPress:

bbPress:

http://danvollans.com/bbpress/

[danvollans]

The reason for the loop is that it’s trying to create repeat tables in the database, either new database or the wordpress database, whichever one you chose to use. I believe this is the cause for the loop, if you go into mysql, use:

mysql -u <user> -p

and then type your password

type:

use <databasename>

then type show tables;

and then type drop table <table name with prefix bb_>

and drop each table that was a remnant of bbpress. This is the way to start a new install.

in my case I can successfully go through step 2, and the system tells me:

“Your WordPress integration cookie and database settings have been successfully validated. They will be saved after the next step.

…”

After that I name the forum, choose my normal WP-Admin-User,etc.

When I want to complete the next step it prompts me with: Installation Errors:

“Forum could not be created!” and tells in the complete log:

“Referrer is OK, beginning installation…

There were some errors encountered during installation!”

Thats all, and afterwards I won’t see a forum, I only get error messages on Firefox regarding a redirection loop.

[danvollans]

Even deeper, this is a problem with the wordpress integration for me. I tried installing without integrating and it worked just fine. It’s possible that for me the integration must come afterwards..

[danvollans]

Yeah, I have been looking for something similar. My error occurred actually in a different spot now that I remember. The issue that I was running into was when I created the KeyMaster user, I named it admin, foolishly. This came with an error saying that the user is already in my wordpress database so it could not create user “admin”. That is where the loop began. I have since cleared my cache, search history, and everything that you can clear in firefox including cookies.

I also tried this in Safari so it is most definitely not a browser related issue, or an issue with the actual bbPress, since this isn’t very common. It then must be a database issue, so I’ll continue to look into it.

Thanks for the ideas.

I can get it work, with this plugin new users can receive the reg-email. But the problem is the users can not login. After click login button a blank page come out. If deactive the plugin, the users can login, but new users can not receive the reg-email.

with IIS+PHP5, wordpress 2.5.1,

[danvollans]

**edit**

I am using the latest WordPressMU with the Alpha release of bbPress.

**end-edit**

I am actually receiving this same error. I tried installing initially and completed the install until the final step where I needed to create a forum. I tried to make a Hello World forum and I got an error saying that the installation failed. I couldn’t go back a step or anything .

I just gave up on that install since it was fairly quick anyways, and removed the bbpress directory. I then re-downloaded the install file, unzipped it into my root directory and re-attempted the install. Now, whenever I try and re-install by going to the url that contains the bbpress install http://danvollans.com/bbpress I get a redirection error after the first step where I input my database information. I have since not been able to get past this step. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, especially since now I believe I’m not the first to receive this type of error.

Thank you very much!

Well, that text being displayed won’t have any effect on logging in. It’s not a conditional, it’s just printing out the text. You can safely remove that and it won’t appear onscreen.

So that text was a red herring.

Now, ignoring the Regisration text, what problem are you having logging in?

[rpophessagr]

ok, i found it in the theme file login-form.php

any ideas? here is the file… I am having trouble figuring out why it wont let me login when i have the require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’); in my bb-config

thanks!

<form class=”login” method=”post” action=”<?php bb_option(‘uri’); ?>bb-login.php”>

<p>Regisration disabled. This is a demo site.</p>

<label><?php _e(‘Username:’); ?>

<input name=”user_login” type=”text” id=”user_login” size=”13″ maxlength=”40″ value=”<?php echo attribute_escape( $_COOKIE[ bb_get_option( ‘usercookie’ ) ] ); ?>” />

</label>

<label><?php _e(‘Password:’); ?>

<input name=”password” type=”password” id=”password” size=”13″ maxlength=”40″ />

</label>

<input name=”re” type=”hidden” value=”<?php global $re; echo $re; ?>” />

<input type=”submit” name=”Submit” id=”submit” value=”<?php echo attribute_escape( __(‘Log in »’) ); ?>” />

</form>

To use WordPress functions inside bbPress, you need to do this:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#functions (the Functions section at the bottom of that page). Be sure that include line is at the top of bb-config.php: right after the <?php is a good place for it.

That will allow you to use WordPress functions in a bbPress page (like <?php get_sidebar(); ?>)

Then, you need to include that function call in a bbPress template file (or files) where you want it to appear. You are responsible for making sure there’s room in the template for your sidebar.

any one help me ?

how to include wordpress sidebar.php file in forums

Adding a link back to you blog home page was discussed here recently:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-add-custom-nav-bar-to-theme

For editing your theme, it’s not like WordPress. You can’t edit the stylesheet online. You would need to edit it locally then upload the changes.

[bushtool]

yea, I have same problem as jbbrwcky. If I log in to bbpress, then no longer can I access admin of wordpress. If I logout of bbpress, then I can log into wordpress.

[mizzmuzikluvr]

I do have php myadmin, and I will try this and let you know! Thank You!

[rpophessagr]

thank you I’ll let you know.

[chrishajer]

Good point. If I could clarify the instructions, I would. We’ll leave the information here 1) for others to see and 2) so the chiefs can see the difficulty some are having and clarify the instructions for all.

Thanks.

Chris wrote: “Using the same database is how the bbPress directions are written now; I think it’s assumed. “

I thought the installation instructions were vague on this point. It wasn’t at all apparent to me which way I should go, and how o safely proceed with installing it into the wordpress database. A little editing could be very helpful to others in the future.

[chrishajer]

This is what it is supposed to mean:

*one users table in the DB and one login (you write

name and password once, and you are logged in the places)

Seems lots of people lately are having trouble with that. They idea behind integration is that you can log into either bbPress or WordPress, and you’ll be logged in on the other side. The two installations appear “integrated”, at least from a user login perspective.

[chrishajer]

Did you look through all your files for that word? If it’s not in the files, then it’s encoded in the files (some WordPress themes have that base 64 encoded crap in the theme) or it’s coming from somewhere else, right?

I would try to find out where it’s coming from so you can figure out how to remove it.

[rpophessagr]

yeah, but it happens with the regular theme as well. when I try logging in it just throws me out…

i created a bum guest account…

guest1

q%dxPv8&xBz1

check it out.

same think with admin or any other user…

so i don’t think it’s the theme

i disabled all the plugins… same deal

[wiseacre]

What exactly means “WordPress + bbPress Integration”?

* one users table in the DB

*one users table in the DB and one login (you write user name and password once, and you are logged in the places)

* or something else?

[chrishajer]

That’s weird. I found a few places on the net where that text is visible, someone using the peacemaker theme from refueled.net. I can’t find that text in the theme though or in the mistylook WordPress theme. Maybe the version you installed is different than the current one available for download.

I would grep through all the files in your web space and see if the work “Regisration” exists. If it does, then it’s coming from something installed on the server. If that word does not exist, then that’s coming from a plugin or something else installed on your server. Sometimes plugins are tied to certain domains, and having it on another domain will not work, and you might get a message like this.

Please check all your files for that very unique “Regisration” word.

[rpophessagr]

still the same… still a “demo site”

also with the regular theme I just can’t login.

Could it be an integration problem? a conflict between another wp integration process?

[chrishajer]

Sounds like the user you are logging in as doesn’t have admin or keymaster privileges. If the admin link is not there once you are logged in, then you don’t have permission to do that.
