I have a wp/bbp integration where I recently upgraded both from previous versions to wp 2.9.2 and bbp 1.0.2. I was able to get them to share accounts so you can login to both with the same passwords but I can’t get the cookie integration working at all. Logging into one doesn’t automatically log you into the other.
I decided to do a fresh install of the latest versions of both to see if that would work but I’m having the exact same issue. I tried cutting the salts down to 32 characters as suggested above but still no luck.
I installed the bbpress integration plugin in wp but that’s not helping either.
I’m wondering if there is some incompatibility between wp 2.9.2 and bbp 1.0.2?
This is on a dreamhost server, and it all worked well before I tried to upgrade.
yes, everything works great, only problem is “/forum/forum/” in the URL
thanks for plugin suggestion … I will check it out
Sounds like your links are correct. Does everything work?
Since you installed bbPress into a directory called “forum”, that will always be part of the URL. If you are viewing a forum, you will have the second forum in the URL, then you will have the title of the forum. That is how it works here as well:
Requests and Feedback
- bbPress is in a directory called “forums”
- You are viewing a forum, so “forum” is part of the URL
- “requests-and-feedback” is the name of the forum
So, sounds like it’s working correctly on your site.
Not everyone likes how that works (even though it appears to be working as designed on your site), so there are a couple plugins to change this functionality. Here is the most recent one:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/nicer-permalinks/
this is my site file structure (look in the pic, link below)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6055448/Capture.PNG
bbPress is in the “forum” folder.
I turned on permalinks and created .htaccess files for both, WP and BB.
now when I type in browser “http://mysite.com/forum” and click on one of the forums it
redirects me to “http://mysite.com/forum/forum/forum-title”
How my .htaccess files must look like so it shows only one /forum/ in URL?
Should I use one .htaccess file?
WP htaccess http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6055448/wp_htaccess.txt
BB htaccess http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6055448/bb_htaccess.txt
I have activated your theme, it works great! Tanks for that!
But deep integration is a little bit too much in my opinion 
Is there a plugin to extend the profile about a user?
Would be nice with custom text-fields, checkboxes and so, that the keymaster could setup for the users to fill out in their profiles when they are signing up or editing their profile.
I could for example use an “About me” field on my bbpress.
Read this thread, Arturo published his bbpress-theme there!
So nobody has this WP Mimic bbpress theme 
thanks anyways
Actually I use bbPress and WordPress on the same database on two of mine BBSs and one in separate databases. I found that the first solution is way better.
1) you can backup easily, as you said
2) you can access everything with just one phpmyadmin session
3) moving and restoring is simpler
4) using automatic db tools is simpler
5) import/export is simpler
6) database-wide operations (table analyze/control/optimization/repair) is simpler
I need to make bbPress forum to one WordPress installation and I want to ask other users what is in their opinion better solution for bbPress’ database: should it have separate database or to use existing database of WordPress?
Untill now, I used separate databases, but I found one reason for using only one database: WP plugins for automatic backup of database could then backup bbPress’ tables too. I don’t know for any similar plugin for bbPress.
Your experiences?
You can include bbPress (bb-load.php specifically) in your WordPress config so you will have access to bbPress functions there.
Or, if you just need access to that one function, you can try something like this:

I don’t think so. Simple:Press is definitely a WordPress plugin. I suspect it’s due to licensing issues.
But, Simple:Press is a WordPress plugin. bbPress is not.
if you want the simple theme is easy to “fix”
tomorrow i create a simple theme for bbpress 
I’m trying to insert the Like button from Facebook into my bbpress-based forum. Therefor i need the exact url of each reply.
is there a code for that? at the moment im using <?php topic_posts_link(); ?> but thats not the best one, cos it generates a link to the topic url, instead to the reply url.
it needs deep integration? #fail
we thought you designed the theme so that overhead of deep integration can be avoided
the css need a class, i’ll add tomorrow
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/allow-images/ works in 1.0.2 and in trunk (is a very simple plugin). Your users must use the right syntax of the img tag <img src="http://the-url.com" />.
Thank you very much! It’s great!
OK, thanks!
I’ve recently made some code with PHP to try to send mail, and after making the right configuration in php.ini it worked. After that I downloaded bbPress and I thought it would be sufficient to just have the right configuraiton in PHP ini, which is the server for outgoing mail (at my broadband supplier) and things like that…
I only tried those two plugins you mention with no luck.
Im using bbPress 1.0.2
Are there any other solutions?
That’s the plan, but that’s a long way off. For the foreseeable future, bbPress needs to be installed separately from WordPress.
