I’m locked out of my admin, remember?

Open phpmyadmin -> open the usermeta table -> find the row called bb_capabilities with user_id == 1 and change it to a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}.

I deleted the line in my bb_meta table that set the values of zaerl-visibility and also the line that activated that plugin and then deleted the zaerl plugin file from the bbPress plugins directory

…

Now that my role is ‘inactive’ I would expect to not be able to see anything, so something about how the visibility is being generated has clearly changed.

As it seems you have deleted the plugin from the plugin folder. Given this it’s perfectly normal that you can see everything.

Addendum: my plugin hasn’t been created for hiding an entire forum: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/zaerl-visibility/faq/ the line “zaerl Visibility doesn’t allow me to hide all forums.”

If you want a plugin that hide an entire forum install mr_pelle great swirl unknowns: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/swirl-unknowns/

[SusanJohnstone]

OK, I understand what you’re saying about what the plugin does.

Can you give me any clues about why all the forums are now completely visible, now that I’m inactive? I had set all forums as not visible to ‘inactive’ and ‘blocked’ users like you suggested in the notes and that worked perfectly until yesterday.

Now that my role is ‘inactive’ I would expect to not be able to see anything, so something about how the visibility is being generated has clearly changed.

All 8 of the forum users have posted at least 2 posts upon login and all were showing as members, not ‘inactive’ ’til yesterday.

And I was the most active in the forum, but I’m now ‘inactive’ as well.

How would you suggest that I double check the role mapping? I’m locked out of my admin, remember? And when I go to the page you suggest, I’m redirected back to the main forum page.

Any other suggestions will be most welcome. I don’t mean to tear down your plugin, I’m just looking for help here.

[zaerl]

So I’m suspecting the zaerl plug-in as the cause.

Absolutely not. My plugin doesn’t change roles, doesn’t change permissions neither it attempts whatever action that invole writing of data nor it install nasty things on any of the bbPress tables. It just read and write a single bb_meta value in which there are packed all the visibility rules. Nothing more.

Keep in mind that a user that hasn’t posted anything is actually inactive and become active only when he will post something. Also double-check that role-mapping on /forum/bb-admin/options-wordpress.php.

Just use the gravatar service http://www.gravatar.com

bbPress and WordPress has integrated gravatar support. No need for an additional plugin.

[maxbmx]

all right! I found this:

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-load.php’);

insert into

bb-config.php file and than bbpress has access to wp functions (for exemple for widgets)

How to add sidebar from wordpress to my bbpress?

[SusanJohnstone]

I’m running bbpress 1.0.2 and had it successfully integrated with WP 3.0.1. WP is on the subdomain http://wisdom.theheartsvoice.com/ and bbPress is in a folder on that subdomain /forum/. They are sharing a SQL database.

I have the bbPress integration plugin installed in WP and all the secret keys are copied over from wp-config.

I had mapped the user roles successfully and all my users (only 11) had registered on WP as subscribers and were successfully being added as members in bbPress as soon as they logged in there.

In order to create both a private site and forum, I had installed the “registered users only” plugin on WP which is still working fine. And then to make the forum private I installed the “zaerl visibility” plugin, and set it up so that “inactive” and “blocked” users can’t see any of the forums. The roles ‘member’ ‘administrator’ and ‘keymaster’ all had full visibility.

This all worked brilliantly for at least 6 days and there have been no changes that I know of to anything – no one has permissions on my admin, etc but me.

Tonight, I tried to log into the forum and discovered that I’m not getting an admin link anymore and I’m unable to reply to anything or start topics. Then I realized that me and all the other users have been set to “inactive”. They are all still showing as “subscribers” in WP.

However, as an inactive user now I shouldn’t be able to see any of the forums and all of them are fully visible. So I’m suspecting the zaerl plug-in as the cause.

I’ve reviewed most of the threads on this topic here and haven’t found anything that applies.

I’ve tried:

– clearing my cache and my cookies.

– created a new admin user in WP and clicked over to the forum, hoping the role would automatically be translated into keymaster there. No. (And when I checked the wp_usermeta table there had been no new line of code added on login to assign a role for that user_id, so I suspect the role mapping has stopped working completely.)

– logged in directly to the forum with both admin accounts, no admin link appeared, no change in user status.

– I deleted the line in my bb_meta table that set the values of zaerl-visibility and also the line that activated that plugin and then deleted the zaerl plugin file from the bbPress plugins directory (I’m not really a coder, so may be in WAY over my head trying to use phpMyAdmin!)

– I inserted a new line of code in my wp-usermeta table to reset my bb_capabilities to keymaster, by copying exactly what was set before to my user_id.

– I did that also for the second admin user I created.

None of these things has worked and since I can’t get into my admin I can’t reset any of the users from inactive to member and so my forum is essentially dead (and it’s week 1 of a 5 week class)

The WP and bbPress integration is still working fine and I’m still an admin on the WP side and when I get to the forum, I’m still logged in already, but I’m inactive.

How can I get back in and get the roles reset?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

I had this issue (with single user however) and it turned out I was missing the WordPress plugin for bbPress integration.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

If you have logged in from WP side and then on bbPress side, it shows you as admin but it will throw you back on the front page then its a known issue.

[chrishajer]

Log out of WordPress and then access bbPress and log in there. You might also have to clear your cookies.

Hi all,

i am following this: http://wpbbpthemes.org/integration/

with WP 3.0.1 (multi user) and the latest bbpress.

now at step 2.19 i can’t seem to login to the bbpress dashboard. mydomain.com/forum/bb-admin redirects to mydomain.com/forum/.

– i am already login in WP

– i have bbpress and WP in root

Any ideas/tips

[robo51]

I feel like an idiot, but I fixed it.

Its reading the files for bbpress out of the html folder, I moved the proper files and everthing is working now.

Sorry to have wasted your time with my idiocy.

[notApro]

Okay,

WordPress is to big, i can’t see where i’m searching..

What i’m looking for is a plugin that adds Avatars to my WordPress site and bbPress site/forum.

I have deep Integration so it would be cool if the avatars would match or sync together.

If some member post a comment on the homepage in a blog-section it would be cool if he has the same avatar that he is using inside the forum.

Only thing is,

– I don’t want anybody to upload files.

It would be nice if they could use an external url (http://www.domain.com/folder/image1.jpg) to include there avatars.

Is it possible because i was looking at the WordPress site and i can’t get the search function working.

If i search for avatar there is a very big list of plugins but if i want to list them down by rated or most download then it deletes my “avatar” search word. and i get plugins like, contact form 7 and Google SEO on top of the list as a result.

Hello zaerl

Thanks for your response. Making the sessions won’t be a problem. Which files to edit is.

Could you tell me which ones to edit please?

Many thanks

[zaerl]

bbPress uses encrypted cookies. If you want to use sessions you must add the required code (in your template files) but you need some PHP knowledge.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

[pedagog]

I want bbpress to start sessions. Could somebody help by showing me where and how. I need it to start sessions for the login system of my site.

Thanks

I am sure they can fix it if you just let them know it’s causing the problem and give them some time.

To add to the list of potential solutions to the Fatal errors for require_once people are encountering whilst completing deep integration of BBpress into WordPress.

If in your error log something similar to this:

PHP Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/var/www/vhost<domain>/httpdocs/wp-load.php’ (include_path=’.:’) in /var/www/vhost/<domain>/forum/httpdocs/bb-config.php on line

16

and you have tried using absolute paths instead of relative paths and the other various solutions people have suggested don’t work. Then you will need to change your php.ini file and add the directory for your wordpress installation to the open_basedir variable.

i.e. open_basedir = /var/www/vhost/<domain>/httpdocs

The other option is to turn off open_basedir altogether.

If you are on a sharedhost and do not have access to php.ini your webhost will have a vhost.conf or similar file which will allow you to send directives to Apache for your particular domain. In this case you will need to have this within your vhost.conf file.

<Directory “/var/www/vhosts/<domain>/forum/httpdocs”>

php_admin_value open_basedir “/var/www/vhosts/<domain>/httpdocs:/tmp”

php_admin_value include_path “.:”

</Directory>

I hope this helps those having issues with deep integration whitepages / require_once fatal errors and saves people some time.

@Josh – Thanks for posting this. Massively useful, I was unaware of a the conversion script.

@Sincever – I think the script will convert the SMF/phpBB users to bbPress users. You could then move all the tables into a single database, but that in itself wouldn’t change which table bbPress uses for users. This answers your question, but if you’re referring more to WordPress users vs bbPress users and reconciling that, I can’t comment as I’ve not tried the integration before.

[pagal]

@korti Thanks mate, Its my pleasure!

I really surprised that why did not Kev suggest you to find the solution first from Google then Write here.

[thomasfals]

Let me just add that it is the shared login that does not work. The deep integration is working and I am using the wordpress menu inside the bbpress theme without any problems.

Hi Kevin

Thanks for the tip. However, I have already followed the guide once and I just did it again to double check.

All keys match in both config files. The bb press once has BB_ added in front of the key names. The cookie paths has been set, users mapped, and even the wp-load.php has been set. Keys are correct as they appear locked in the “wordpress integration” section of bbpress – also the table_prefix is set to wp_ as it should. Basically I think everything has been set up as it should.

I am testing this using mamp pro and the bbpress folder is inside the wordpress folder. I am beginning to think it has something to do with my setup. I have been trying to figure it out for days now.

[korti]

@pagal Thanks, I will certainly try out the plug ins.

@kevinjohngallagher I’m not going to argue with you, not enough time unless I turn on my dragon… akismet works spectacular on wordpress and needs some love on bbpress. If I was a programmer i would be on it. I only need this to work on one site.

yes, for real I have a lot of sites (stopped counting at 70) and you will always find me here at my pc. I have made a living on the internet since 1997. Friends at Google, seo professional and just learning the css stuff loving wordpress.

I love bbpress and do not use any captcha for anything but my email forms, and the people who are not using it are are not getting a lot of traffic. if I didnt have captcha on my sites for email forms it would be game over. I get maybe 1-2 human spams a week if that. And my sales are going up up and up.

BBpress was hard enough to learn how to install it and then get all the spam.

and ya know I may have something goofed up in one of my files causing askimet to not work. I have two forums going and one gets only 3 spams a day the other gets 20. Then again the one that gets 20 I think was just indexed and has a lot of content.

the other was just a test site. I will reinstall and see what happens.

I just wont be able to handle it with one site that it is in the top 5 for many major keywords and we get 50 questions(emails) a day. I know the forum would be a smash instantly as they are using the feed back comments like mad.

I will try a few thing s and see what works. This site makes me way to much money to have it not work. I am still debating on moving it over to wordpress.

Lots of pros and cons to everything these days! Anyways, I have been dong this a long long time, so far my system is definitely working for me. I just have one small hurdle. If I did only have one or two sites it would be a piece of cake. As a SEO professional, I’m like a kid in a candy store. And every day I find an easier way and that is what is all about. That and to learn from one another.

meanwhile imagine bbpress with no forum… and they just got emails all day asking how to do this or how to do that…. that is where I am at.

so all in all i guess it depends on what you are doing on the net and how you are making your money..

captcha has never slowed me down but I type extremely fast to. I forget about the two finger typers.

I can say this, one time I forgot to put a captcha code on one website and wow what a mess 500 spams a day! I have also used every site builder under the sun and they all recommend it. To me it is like a seat belt law, you hate to put it on, but you know it is for the smart thing to do.

Thanks again sorry for typos, sleepy! 240 am here in Texas.

[_ck_]

You’ll get incorrect dates when the bbpress api cannot see the correct time.

But if you are saying the mouseover is working, that means that $topic has the right time.

I suspect you do not have $topic as a global before your loop.

So find the foreach you have and put global $topic; before it.
