Did you accidentally upload the bbPress files to the WordPress directory, then change it to a subdirectory later? I can’t think of why WordPress would be messed up after installing bbPress into a subdirectory.
What versions of WordPress and bbPress are you using?
I haven’t changed the .htaccess file at the wp root.
At the bbpress root the .htaccess file has one line:
“Options +MultiViews”
By plugins I mean wp plugins… basically any form action in wp admin ends at a blank page. The form action seems to be properly executed but then before returning to the right page, it stalls and I get a blank page. The name of that page depends on the form submitted.
Did you modify the root .htaccess file that would apply to WordPress?
Also, what at the other form errors you are getting when activating/deactivating plugins (and do you mean WordPress or bbPress plugins?)
BTW I don’t have the sitemap plugin which upon surfing around seems to cause the same problem.
Since I installed bbpress I’m having problems with posting in WordPress.
I can post but afterwards am taken to a blank page. Eg instead of returning to /wp-admin/edit.php I’m taken to /wp-admin/post.php which is blank.
Likewise when working with pages, instead of ending up at wp-admin/edit-pages.php I end up at wp-admin/page.php – also blank.
I get other form errors when activating/deactivating plugins.
Since the bbpress install I haven’t added any new plugins.
BBpress seems to work fine.
FYI: It’s in a subdirectory of my blog (/forums).
I found the solution!
I merged the two language files into one (using gettext msgcat GNU utility)
I load the new merged language file in WordPress wp-config
I don’t load any language file in bbPress config
It works! everything is translated in WordPress + bbPress
Same problem here: latest versions of WP and bbPress, FR_fr .mo gives same error message (Cannot redeclare class cachedfilereader).
If I get rid of the FR language setting everything works fine.
Maybe it is because WP and bbPress use the same localization routines…
I think one solution would be to merge the .mo files of both apps into one so we have to load only one language file. Because apparently if I load only the WordPress FR localization I see that common terms in bbPress are translated.
I don’t know much about .mo files, does anyone have a clue on how to do that?
my branches 0.8 and my wordpress 2.5 rc1 are integrated and the roles and doing fine in transferring
but if you are anything less than an editor you post comments as anonymous
looks like it’s pretty much good to go

The software is basically done and stable, and could be released today, but we’d like to incorporate feedback from a wider audience before making it available to the general public. After a few days of your feedback we’ll set a final release date. Personally, I can’t wait
A lot of tickets in the WordPress Trac for 2.5 are not going to be fixed for 2.5
I’m pretty sure that the guys are working toward a first release candidate now.
You used to be able to do that with bbSync, but I have no idea if it will still work in the latest release of bbPress and WordPress.

I am running the latest build (as of now) of 0.9 bbPress and WP 2.5 Beta (yesterday’s build).
They (so far) seem to play together really well (great job on the out-of-the-box integration to you bbPress guys!).
I have a question. Is it possible to make a post in WordPress and somehow have it added to a forum in bbPress and comments added to that post in WP added to the topic in bbPress too?
How would one go about achieving this?
Thanks,
Garry
As some of you know, I’m new to WordPress and bbPress altogether and as I learn more I am also getting really amp’d for the new releases of both. However, after looking at the trac roadmap…
I see WP 2.5 still has A LOT of open tickets where as bbPress 0.9 has 0 tickets open. Is it just not updated or is today’s release not realistic? 
wich data i have to include to use wordpress functions? and
when i only login bbpress i have to type my data in wordpress to write a comment ( is that “fixable” ?

1. Yes it’s possible to make bbPress and WordPress look the same.
2. I don’t know about the widgets. I suspect if you include the WordPress functions in bbPress you could probably do that.
3. You probably want to redirect all your bbPress logins through WordPress since the WordPress registration function is more robust.
The level of integration you’re looking for is beyond what most people will help with for free. It’s all possible though (I think: not sure on the widgets since I never used one.)
That plugin didn’t work quite right for me, but I was able to hack together my own hard-coded version for both bbpress and wordpress.
Thanks!
What are you expecting from integration? Integration here means the user information is shared, that’s about it. If you want your bbPress installation to look like your WordPress blog, there is more work to be done. I’m guessing that’s what you’re expecting: you want your forum to look like your blog?
Hello everyone!
I have a few important questions.
I want to make a theme for wordpress and bbpress . Is it possible that i can make it so that no-one can see when he is in bbpress and wehen in wordpress?
Is it also possible to show the wordpress widgets in the bbpress sectionß
The login menue must be in both pages and wehen you login you are logged in in wordpress and bbpress automatically.
Can someone help me?

Hi, I’ve installed the 0.8.3.1 version into the wordpress v2.3.2 directory.
I tried to localise bbpress in french using the fr_FR.mo found in http://www.adilade.fr/blog/41/bbpress-traduction-francaise.html#comment-281
But when I add the french mo file in bbpress/bb-includes/languages, and the line
define(‘BBLANG’, ‘fr_FR’);
into config.php file
I’ve the Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class cachedfilereader in E:wampwwwhyporecrs_next2bbpressbb-includesstreams.php on line 163
After many hours of research and tests, the problem seems to be due that there is a confict between wordpress fr mo file and the bbpress one.
Note that to use the header and the footer from wordpress in bbpress, I’ve added:
define(‘WP_BB’, true);
if ( !defined(‘DB_NAME’) ) {
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-config.php’);
}
into the config.php file
(the bbpress template could then use get_header(); and get_footer(); of wordpress which is very convenient)
Please how can I solve this issue ?
thanks in advance
crazlunatic: did you try it? That looks like what you need to do for integration, to me. Oh, except I think you need to do that before you install, so that your user tables are integrated. If you changed that after installation, install again.
Integration next week will be different with the release of WordPress 2.5 and the latest bbPress 0.9.
That is great. I really appreciate your help but now I want to integrate it into wordpress. How can I do this?
http://vistarewired.com/test2/bbpress/
This is how I edited my config:
// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.
// If you’re not, just leave it as it is.
$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘craz_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;
$bb->wp_home = ‘http://vistarewired.com/test2’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com’
$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://vistarewired.com/test2’; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com’
/* Stop editing */
Separate db vs one table is something new for 0.9 I believe.
Those are constants that have to be defined in bb-config.php just like any of the other constants. ie.
define('USER_BBDB_NAME','blahblah');
If you are just now installing bbpress and not already integrating an existing install, if you wait for the 0.9 release on monday, it will do most of the integration for you.
There are endless instructions for integration, I’ve gathered most of them here (though that list is getting outdated for 0.9)
