bbPress isn’t going anywhere. If you are worried about the lack of initiative in the direction of development, be assured that it will be also be there in bbPress closing down.

They’ve decided to convert bbPress into a WordPress plugin. But that’s been pending for months now. And when that does happen you’ll sitll have bbPress around. Don’t worry… use bbPress. It’s not got some premium themes and plugins too. The community is working on it behind the scenes.

Hi everyone,

I’ve used bbPress in the past. And now I’ve thought about using it again. But what about all this talk about bbPress dying and closing down I keep seeing everywhere? Are there any truth in these rumors? Should I stay away from bbPress and look for alternatives such as BuddyPress instead?

Also, the last time I used bbPress I had lots of problems with spambots signing up. Have there been made any improvements in this area? Are there any new plugins or such that can stop these spam bots better than before?

I am thankful for any advice or comments!

I’d also like to keep 0.9 for the plugins. So far I’ve had it working fine integrated with a WP 2.9.2 but I wan’t to have WP 3.0. Unfortunately on my test install I can’t get the cookies to sync.

Anyone had any experience with WP 3.0 beta and bbPress 0.9.6?

[jakshi]

Al – I glad that my investigation help somebody

Kevin Muldoon – Thank you, may be it help some people that have trouble with integration. You article about integration very useful and clear. May be difference between my site and site that you setuped – My site has been upgraded from 2.1.x to 2.9.x during using and bbpress was upgraded from 0.9.x to 1.0.x, but you setup new sites.

[Kevin Muldoon]

Hi jakshi,

I’m surprised you had this problem as I did the integration process several times and never had a problem with this. Not sure if this is something that is caused my a setting on a websites host or something similar. I’ve updated the article with your suggestion though so that others will know to try this solution

Jakshi, a sincere thank you.

I had given up trying to make WP/BBP integration work, having tried everything I could find on-line to suggest how to fix things, but with no luck.

However, your suggestion of halving my key lengths from 64 to 32 has it all working. Amazing.

Cheers!

Hi,

I would like to hire someone to fully integrate my bbpress forum. Is someone interested in a paid job?

You can contact me at info[at]dekritischebelegger[dot]nl

[bforeste]

thanks chris…

I was skeptical of my #2 above because I wasn’t sure if the .9 import would work in the new schema. Glad I asked.

My original upgrade failure was due to a DB HOST setting https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/upgrade-errors-it-looks-like-your-database-is-out-of-date

So – regarding your second suggestion

put the new installation of 1.0 files somewhere, change that bb-config.php to point to the 0.9 database, then you can run the upgrade script

The part I don’t fully understand is how will the “DB shuffle” mess with my integration settings? I’m just concerned that if I point a 1.0 install to a recovered 0.9 DB – I will either have 50% integration or 0% integration. Is that okay? Should I complete the “deep” integration steps post-upgrade?

Just looking to avoid having to spend another few hours of troubleshooting to get this going. If I can tweak a bb-config file or do a search/replace inside my DB.sql file prior to the import (and prevent some issues from happening) – I’m all ears.

thanks for the assist!

Hello

I need a plugin for create link box in bbpress forum

Thanks

[jakshi]

Hello.

I read http://www.wpmods.com/integrate-wordpress-bbpress and do all described thing, but had no success with cookies integration.

Then I read forums, check all parameters, but cookies integration didn’t work.

When I have searched for answer – I have tried to change my BB_AUTH_KEY = AUTH_KEY, BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY=SECURE_AUTH_KEY etc. parameters in wp-config.php and bb-config.php on somthing simple (‘d’) — suddenly, cookie integration begin to work.

I did several experiments and found that if keys too long – cookie integration don’t work. Keys with length 32 chars — still work, but keys with length 64 chars don’t work at all.

May be this will helpful for somebody.

I have a website, wpbbpthemes.org. Where I try to help people convert WP themes into bbPress themes. When they give me an original WP theme to convert I put it on the website for others to have as well (the bbPress one not the WP one). I would like for people to have a demo of the themes but my themes don’t work unless the corresponding WP theme is active at the same time. Any solutions?

[chrishajer]

I have no idea what happens after you submit this form.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/forum/requests

I am guessing there is someone at automattic that approves WordPress plugins, and maybe looks at bbPress plugins as well. I know on the WordPress side it wasn’t always transparent. With less volume at bbPress, I imagine it’s even LESS transparent.

[cnc]

@ vilimaunula….. where did you include this code? in which file? in which line?

<?php if ($forumpage == TRUE) {

bb_title();

echo ” :.: AKN&I”;

} else …

to add the forum feed:

<?php if ($forumpage == TRUE) bb_feed_head(); ?>

and are you sure this code is right.. for getting bbpress title?

Thanks,

I have been working on a DEV site for several months now – integrated WP + BB.

I ran into some issues ‘upgrading’ bbPress from my legacy 0.9 install to the new 1.0.2 release, and the first ‘clean’ way I was able to get it done was to wipe out the bb tables & re-install from scratch.

I have now got the integration & theme down (thanks gerikg) on bbPress…but I would like to refresh with all my old posts, topics, forums, etc from the 0.9 days.

My question is approach: Is it better / easier for me to…

A) Rip out the ‘baked’ 1.0.2 install…go back to 0.9 (files and DB)…and try the upgrade again (assuming I figured out what went wrong…I think I can)

-or-

Attempt to ‘import’ my 0.9 backup (bb_ tables only) into my current 1.0.2 db?

Naturally – I’m sure there are other things I’m not considering & maybe some other approaches too. Regardless – I appreciate the suggestions.

It is possible, but honestly, its probably not worth the hassle.

You either connect to the WP database yourself to test (no integration required), but that can be a bit hit and miss – especially with child themes etc.

Or you use deep integration to test for the current theme. Which is simple as long as you have deep integration working (which in itself is very hit and miss).

Bluntly, unless you had a very good reason to do this (and you might, you’ve been v helpful with bbPress recently mate) I’d not take on the challenge. But if you want pointers and some code, lets start a new thread

[cnc]

@ chrishajer…. Yes I had made my last 2 posts but I was thinking you delete them.. but its amazing that when I login these post show but when I logout theses post goes hide.. I think its bbpress bug (sorry to say) .. I know you’ll talk about them .. that’s why I saved a screenshot regarding my 2 post.. and you’ll see what happen..

here is its screenshot

http://car-n-car.com/array.jpg

Now what you think? why array happened? I think there was another issue not Akismet matter

=========

@ gerikg now what should I do? should I show wp header and footer files? and please tell me how can I call bb_head() & do_action(‘bb_foot’) into wp header and footer … and where there place and lines?

============

@ pelle .. Ok dude I’ll try again…

[chrishajer]

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-theme-switcher/

That was good up until the 0.9 release

[gerikg]

@mr_pelle, no cNc is just calling the WP one <?php global $is_bb; $is_bb = true;<b> get_header();</b>?>.

The solution would be calling the bbPress one bb_get_header() and bb_get_footer() and adjusting the header.php & footer.php in the bbpress theme to closely match the one in the WordPress one.

[gerikg]

1) That is your header.php and footer.php file in your bbPress theme but you’re NOT using them. You’re using your WordPress theme’s header.php & footer.php. I did a view source on your site and the first two lines after body is:

<body> <div id="header"> <div id="logo">

If you were pulling what you pasted before it should of been:

<body id="xxx"><div id="wrapper"><div id="header" role="banner">

So you’re not pulling bb_head() & do_action(‘bb_foot’)

@ pelle… I tried it again… nothing happened.. still show

now what next? help please

[gerikg]

1) I might be wrong but the issue might be because you do not have bb_head() in the header and do_action(‘bb_foot’) in the footer. It might cause you to have problems with some plugins as well (with your other problems). Have you thought about converting your WP theme into a bbPress theme?
