What is the database prefix of your WP install? Have you set the correct value in the bbPress settings?

This site uses bbPress 1.1 alpha. It has this feature built-in.

So I’m a compentent user / php programmer and maybe I’ve just skipped over the same steps over and over again? Not sure.

My wordpress install operates on the base domain address

http://www.domain.com

My forums operates on a subdomain address

forums.domain.com

Now bbpress has no problem allowing WP users to log in. However everyone is assigned to an inactive role. Also the user has to sign in again at the bbpress site.

Now I know what you’re going to say about issue 1 – user role mapping has to be setup. Done. Doesn’t work. Weird huh? I even re-submitted my user role mapping, and then created a new user in wp, and logged in as him. He also has no role assigned in bbpress.

And I know what you’ll initially ask about the cookies. I’ve verified my site and blog address (www.domain.com) and I’ve made changes to both wp and bb config.php files for the auth key, secure auth key, and logged in keys to match between the two installations. I’ve also addedd the definitions for cookie_domain (.domain.com) and cookiepath (/). I’ve also cleared all cookies and confirmed the new cookie assigned has the .domain.com address.

(Off-topic, but a lot of content on this site is related to older and outdated versions of software – this site is in dire need of updating. And since wordpress.org uses the forum software you should probably maintain a clean well documented site over here.)

why?

Cause you question is too generic.

Do you need an “unread post” plugin? Get Unread Posts of our beloved _ck_.

Looked around. There is a plugin called “Approve User Registration” but it doesn’t work. I ran a bunch of test registrations, and never received any emails. Guess it’s outdated.

I also tried the “Private Forums” plugin, but I couldn’t get that to work either.

So, I downloaded the plugin ROLE MANAGER.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/role-manager/

Using that, you can create many roles for people. I duplicated my “member” role, then changed some of the restrictions.

So, I have a “member” who could read everything, but not post.

And a “verified member” who could post. So, when I get someone that registers, I can change their role manually and make them verified.

I’m checking to see if this plugin works well with the “New User Notification Email” plugin. If that works, then I will get a new email whenever someone registers.

@DarkWolf.it – Thanks

Someone has a signature patch in trac, but I’ve asked them to make it a rock solid plugin instead. I’d rather have that be someone people plugin rather than disable.

Topic/reply promotion could be accomplished as a plugin using the post_order attribute which is currently only used by forums for ordering them similar to pages. We may try something similar eventually for the .org support forums, so we definitely see the need for this.

I would like to have bbpress use the wordpress sidebar widget, anyone tell me how?

Secondly, Is it possible to have it so the wordpress frontpage(without using “Pages”) to show the “Announcements” Forum as posts?

[Anonymous User 7670885]

@JJJ: really compliments for latest update

In past i’ve request user signature but i don’t remember if i’ve already asked for topic/post promotion (i think, like vbulletin/ipb, is a good idea to have a way to promote – or move – an article in blog/category/homepage).

[jcnetsys]

Dunno what conflicts this might cause but I modified lines 86-91 of bb-settings.php to:

if ( defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {

//$wp_filter = array();

//$wp_actions = array();

//$merged_filters = array();

//$wp_current_filter = array();

}

This prevents wordpress filters and hooks from being removed.

This is my problem: I can add topic, but i can’t read it. When I click on topic title (forum page), I go to group page with message: “There is not entires in this topic” – this is my translation, becouse I’ve got polish version BuddyPress.

What is wrong?

[jcnetsys]

When BBpress loads it wipes all actions/filters that were registered during the wordpress load. It does this so that all the feeds and sitemaps and external files (js etc.) don’t get put in the bbpress forum.

That is exactly what I want it to do so I am trying to figure out how to stop it from wiping them and will let you know how I get on.

The plugin that isn’t ready yet, John?

…Tease.

I installed WordPress, everything working fine. Then I installed bbPress in folder called /forums. But when I enter username/forums in my browser, “I get This link appears to be broken.” I thought it was supposed to install bbPress at that point and then I would enter the database information.

Well for those interested. Here is how I solved it… Skipped the integration step all together. After install, I defined the cookie path in both config files, regenerated all the unique kees and salts, installed the bbpress plugin for WP integration, entered the settings and role mapping (make sure you do this before saving) I had to redo this b/c I role mapped myself right out and couldn’t get in at first

Awesome the last alpha! This is looking good! Go Fight JJJ and Gautam, good work!

[jwindhall]

I have WP/BP integrated on a site I’m working on. I’d like t0 use my WP header/footer. If I understand correctly there are really 2 different ways to do this. Deep integration or simply edit the the bbpress header to match the WP header. Is there a preferred way? I don’t really need any of the other WP functions within my bbress install aside from matching header/footer

[John James Jacoby]

If you create a topic or make a reply in your bbPress powered forum that comes with BuddyPress, it automatically creates activity feed items to match. The plugin will be integrated in a similar manner.
