I tried downloaded and installing everything from the beginning. Untouched new WordPress 2.9.2 and bbPress 1.0.2.

1. Install WP.

2. Paste secret keys in wp-config.

3. Install bbPress in another database with keys from wp-config. Set up seperate user database settings.

4. Enable bbPress integration plugin in WP and paste code into wp-config.

5. Set up role map in bbPress.

Registered users in WP show up in bbPress, and registered users in bbPress how up in WP. Logins also work on both. But any changes to user roles does not transfer over to the other platform.

So what am I doing wrong?

Sorry, haven’t checked back here until now.

All it does is buffer the HTML output of sections of the WordPress theme and then create static files from it.

That way you can grab the head section of your WordPress site (scripts and all) and dump it into another piece of software. This allows things like widget areas, plugin functionality etc. to be transferred across to the other software dynamically. If you alter a widget area on your WordPress powered site, that will be displayed automagically in the other software. The advantage of doing it this way is that you don’t have the negative impacts of bogging the server down as if you did it with deep integration with bbPress, plus it works with other software as well, not just bbPress/WordPress.

This is the second complaint I’ve received about the instructions so I’ll try to improve them. I thought it was fairly straightforward though. I can’t think of an easier way to explain than how I did on the page, but I’ll do my best I’m quite busy right now so it may not be for a few weeks at least.

From what I’ve heard, there may be an error in the instructions too so I’ll need to sort that out when I rewrite them (I think one of my function names my be incorrect in the instructions but don’t have time to deal with that right now).

Hi all.

We have numerous sites running on WP but this is my first go at bbPress. Even if I I’ve heard the community so dissapointed with the slow development of bbpress (as opposed to WP) and even if I am very concerned that WP 3 is “round the corner” and everything might change… I decided to give it a try for a new site very forum orientated + small review section (which I plan to do via a wp review plugin).

By mistake installing via SVN i installed and configured 1.1 alpha from the trunk which was not originally my intention. Everything seems fine for now… so my question is if I should revert to the 1.0 stable branch (are there many differences with the 1.0 branch) or this apha version is “safe enough” to get going.

Also if anyone has details about if bbpress-wp integration is changing dramatically on WP3 and I am just wasting my time… please let me know.

Many thanks.

I disagree there. this new look is taking some getting used, and overall is very good. However there is room for improvement.

[jurasiks]

new style for bbpress.org not means that bbpressstill alive, one week… no new version, and this style is very ugly: small text, small elements, annoying fade effects…

we need fresh look of old style

why is akismet goin nuts over here?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

you need to set them up under WordPress integration settings, only unassigned roles will be effected. http://wpwebhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/userrolemap.png

which plugin are you using?

[Sash-Kat]

I’m having problems with images not appearing properly in my bbpress install. The url is http://forum.allykatdesign.com. The header image is not appearing and the thumbnails in the themes>appearance section are also appearing as broken links.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I change the user roles in WordPress the change does not transfer over to bbPress, and vice versa. I can still change the roles, but I have to do it as two places, which makes the whole integration worthless.

Registrations in WP transfer over to bbPress (and vice versa) and logging in to WP let you login to bbPress so the cookies are working correctly. However new WP registrations does not assign a role in bbPress (unless I use the plugin).

I have assigned the role map. I am using the bbPress Integration plugin. Not using deep integration. I have done pretty much every thing I could think of, but it’s not working.

I’m using WP 2.9.2 and bbPress 1.0.2. WP and bbPress is sharing the same database.

[chrishajer]

There has always been some overlap with functions being declared in both bbPress and WordPress. I don’t know the solution to this one.

Does the same problem happen on endurodoc.net? Installing on localhost on MAMP can be troublesome, and if you’re going to host it on the Internet anyway, it would be better to solve problems in the environment where it will ultimately reside.

[gerikg]

I think we had some successful people using it with WP 3.0. I personally don’t recommend automatic upgrade. Sometimes it might be a drastic code change that will mess your integrated bbpress theme.

[chrishajer]

so there is no way to reply to a comment, only to the entire post thread? how does somebody quote another person to reply to them within the post?

You copy and paste into your reply and just wrap it in html <blockquote>

Replies are not threaded in bbPress. Comments *are* threaded in WordPress, if you want them.

[josh16]

Nice to see that big changes are finally happening here. Now all we need is a look-a-like theme to go with it. bbShowcase is back on? Sweet!

[merddyn2002]

I just integrated my wp with bbpress and its working wonderfully, however, now i’m wondering if I should still be using the “automatically upgrade” feature in wordpress when they release a new version of it. I routinely do that. I currently have the most up to date version, but I’m wondering if I do that in the future if something will break now that I have this integration setup.

The integration instructions I followed were here:

We have our bbPress forum hosted at Network Solutions [unfortunately]. When we activated SSL in bbPress, any SSL-secured page would immediately go into an infinite redirect loop to itself. After a little PHP debugging, I determined that the cause was two-fold:

1. $_SERVER does not exist, for some reason, at NetSol.

2. $_SERVER always returns 80 at NetSol, even when accessing the site via https. It should return 443.

This causes the two conditions in the is_ssl() function to fail, so the function incorrectly returns false. When the secured page redirects itself from http to https, bbPress still thinks it’s an unsecured page and redirect back to itself again… and again… and again.

We had no choice but to hack the core, which is bad because it will get overwritten when we upgrade bbPress. is_ssl() resides in /bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php. I added a condition to simply look at the scheme of the URI and return ‘true’ if it is ‘https’.

I added this line to the first line of the function:

$uri_ssl = parse_url(bb_get_option('uri_ssl'));

Then this add’l elseif condition:

} elseif ($uri_ssl == 'https') {

// Hack to support NetSol's questionable setup.

return true;

}

Has anyone else ever experienced this at NetSol?

then, now with your path is ok!i make a mistake, the file was find but, i get this error:

[06-May-2010 19:02:23] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_clone() (previously declared in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp2.9/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php:1043) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp2.9/wp-settings.php on line 308

some ideas?

tank you very much for your help

[chrishajer]

The path and the URL (technically URI) are not the same. To use “require_once” it needs to be a file system path. So, your “http://www.endurodoc.net/forum/bb-load.php” would never work. You need to use a file system path there (relative or absolute.)

[chrishajer]

This is my favorite topic of all time on bbpress.org – thanks _ck_

[porcelainduck]

Looks nice. Just discovered bbpress and had the site open the other night, wake up and click to a new section and it was different! Fun.

[kikko088]

I try your path but nothing… I also try to put the code on wp-config of my site online, where the path is http://www.endurodoc.net/forum/bb-load.php but nothing… blank page!

It’s great to see the site updated

it’s also great to see _ck_ as well w/b :o)

[Matias Ventura]

It is good to see such a nice work. Congrats.

Gautam, I would at least remove the bbpress header and bee graphic on yours.
