robalan, do you have another set of eyes there than can help you look at each item one at a time? Sometimes that’s all it takes. Something simple like pasting all 4 keys from WP to BB, but not changing the name of the constant (they need to be BB_$wordpresskeyname in bbPress, for example.) I’m not saying it’s that one thing, although it has been that thing for many people, but it could be something simple you skip past every time.
I accept your opinion but at least in one case I discovered that the only way to achieve that result is to chmod 777 during the installation/integration/whatever and then switching back to 755 (on a very crap host). So I said what I said cause I tought that it can be a good hint. Apparently it is not (and it seems that my words are even funny) and it’s ok. Maybe it was a combination of factors and the 777 was completely useless.
I’m not a bbPress expert cause I have started to use this software a couple of weeks ago. I’m just trying to learn, help those who encountered my same problems and sharing my code.
Regards.
In my opinion, which I expressed, it’s ridiculous. Sorry you disagree, but I stand by my statement.
In any case, I don’t think it has anything to do with this integration problem. This is the most common symptom of integration that is just not working well. There are lots of little gotchas in doing it. I gave up on even trying long ago. It’s far too much to ask people to do to achieve simple user integration. For this reason, I support making bbPress a WordPress plugin. You solve this integration problem, theme integration and also deep/functional integration. With those types of support questions gone, I’ll be out of a job (in a good way.)
Hi everybody,
bbpress fails to send out emails for my forum. Unfortunately, my host decided to disable mail() for all users.
I believe that is why I get the error:
“The email containing the password reset link could not be sent.”
Is there a work around? I know I have some plugins for my regular wordpress websites to get around this but wondering what to do for bbpress…
Tx,
Bobby
It’s ridiculous if to integrate you have to set your directory permissions to 777. Some hosts won’t even let you do that.
It’s not “ridiculous.”
Anyway. Have you installed the WordPress bbPress Integration plugin?
In the wordpress integration section of bbpress have you tried to enter the information like it was a foreign database?
gerikg:
I tried installing without checking the boxes and setting it up via the admin area and got it to pass through: http://cl.ly/Gip
However, it’s still not showing my WordPress users in bbPress: http://cl.ly/HI9 and I’m still having cookie sharing issues where it logs me out of whichever app I switch to from the other.
robalan, can you install without checking those boxes and then go to the bbpress dashboard and setting it through SETTINGS-> WORDPRESS INTEGRATION?
@Gautam,
So no active Keymasters and one active moderator, does not give anyone hope. Maybe it’s time to get new people?
This thread can go back and forth, like now. And like now, annoying more people. I hope it’s not influencing you to leave, you helped me through a lot of plugins issue
So maybe the priority is getting new keymasters and moderators?
Preventing real people from posting objectionable stuff is going to require some sort of moderation. For the time being, you might want to stop allowing images. Secondly, you might want to install the Approve Registration plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/approve-user-registration/
Check on page 3 for a comment with a later version available for you.
Do bbPress and WordPress share the same database?
GlotPress runs on BackPress too. BuddyPress doesn’t need BackPress because much code of it is already there in WordPress. And WordPress will eventually shift to BackPress. Though, that’s really not a matter of argument.
@Yuri
And main question: Who is admin of this site with full access if Matt left project?
As far as I know, matt, sambauers, and mdawaffe are keymasters and trent, chrishajer and _ck_ are moderators.
Back from my holidays and hopefully ramping up some bbPress dev in the next week or so, and this looks like a nice thread to come back to 
The thing that I think a few folks have missed out on, is that the biggest changes from bbPress 0.9 to bbPress 1.0 is that alot of the core functions of the backend were unified into BackPress. While this added bloat to be sure, it basically gave us a unified platform on which ‘all’ of the automattic software solutions would be based. Except… none of the others moved to BackPress.
So we don’t have any (to the best of my knowledge) WordPress functions in bbPress, but also with “deep integration” we’re loading multiple classes and functions that effectively do the same thing. With deep integration we duplicate all of the base calls and functions every time we load a page.
BuddyPress got round this by ripping out all of the backpress stuff, and making the bbPress functions call the WordPress functions. BuddyPress’ forum is based on bbPress, its isn’t bbPress. This is where Sam kind of got the short end of the stick. Had WordPress moved to BackPress (instead of porting WP changes into BackPress) then all of the Automattic software solutions would be on the same base platform, and integration between them all would be a doddle. It also would have meant that bbPress could be both a stand alone AND a plugin, as it would effectively be a large “module” on top of BackPress functions.
The realsim is, that without any form of Project Management (and i know that phrase is where people start to hate me) or cohersion between the Automattic projects or developers and contributors, we’re effectively going to go in circles here.
Today marks the 3rd Month with no blog post or communication (other than the infamous “I just want to quit the whole project” statement from Matt). As much as that is disheartening, its not a shock. Matt (the person) and Matt (the developer) and those he works with on these projects have their hands full right now; and from what I’ve seen Chris has continued to steady the ship in a wonderful fashion… but make no mistake we’re drifting aimlessly in the current direction. Lets just keep the ship afloat, try and fix some bugs, and we’ll see what happens when we’re closer to a release.
Hope you’re all having a wonderful afternoon.
I thonk that BuddyPress needs WP installation for work… so it’s fully WP plugin. Am i not right?
Second, i sent 2 messages to Matt too… still no answer from him.
Third. I think there is best solution for both teams = keep bbpress as standalone but with deep WP intergration plugin.
And main question: Who is admin of this site with full access if Matt left project?
Craig.
I went through the exact same thing a few days ago and was getting the same error as you initially. As well as removing the tables you need to remove the plugin. You all need to remove the templates you added to merge buddypress from wordpress. It’s one of these templates which causes the not found error as the template is looking for buddypress in the plugins directory.
Remove the buddypress tables via phpmyadmin, deactivate the plugin (and delete it if you wish) and then delete all the templates you uploaded. You should be fine after that.
The link to the Sitemap is http://invictatrader.com/sitemap.xml and it is made withing the GoDaddy hosting account. You will see quite a few bbPress URLs that have characters like “” or “%” in them. I made sure that I removed all characters or extra spaces in the post title. The titles have letters in upper and lower case and a space between each word, nothing else.
Thank you.
Hi I am aware that this is an old topic but was wondering is there anyway where I could download copy of this WP Mimic bbpress theme or if someone would be kind enough to upload it somewhere.
Thanks in advance.
THIS IS IMPORTANT POST, WHICH EVERYONE SHOULD READ:
For the time being, according to the plan laid down by Matt (which was weeks ago), bbPress will continue to be a standalone till some 1.2 version and then change into a plugin.
Now there are 2 things for you to consider:
- Start your own project and if you start, then there will be 2 things:
- Either your project would get more attention if development doesn’t start here
-
- Or your project and hard work would go into vain if the development starts here/or you still don’t get popularity. So you might consider point 2.
- Wait for the development to start (which would only happen when Matt pays attention to it, maybe after WP 3.0?). You might now want to start your own development, then see point 1.
-
I know that you might be confused, but I am also confused as much as you’re, thinking should I keep developing plugins for bbPress or not (nor any donations have come in the recent days). I’ll probably start developing plugins for BuddyPress/WordPress and be active on projects like After the Deadline/GlotPress.
I personally think that Matt is not considered about this project because (I might be wrong):
- See his reply here – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/whats-happening-with-bbpress/page/5#post-64425 (which was his last post on this forum).
- I mailed him to let me take on the development and he said to be just active on trac, maybe he has some other plans down the line?
Right now, chrishajer is committing patches to the trunk (as he has the svn access) and IMO, trunk is more stable than 1.0.2.
Another thing is that half the people want it to be a plugin and half want it to be a standalone. Thus, I posted this method – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-as-a-wordpress-plugin-thoughts#post-64476, and it is how BuddyPress integrates bbPress forums into WP/BP install. This way it will remain a standalone for those who want it to be simple, light, fast etc. and plugin for those who want deep integration, ease of install etc. The problem that arises here is the plugin and theme repo, anyone has a solution to that? Maybe here’s one – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-as-a-wordpress-plugin-thoughts#post-64737
bbPress _must_ not become a WordPress plugin. First of all because a BBS isn’t always associated with a blog and in my case this never happens. bbPress gain the attentions of a lot of people tired of bloatware engine like phpBB or slow engine like vBullettin. I switched to bbPress on all my sites for these reason.
Seconded a lot of people (as far as I know) chose bbPress because they can access to a WordPress style plugin system. If you have ever written a plugin for WordPress you can edit a bbPress one easily in order to accommodate your needs. But if bbPress will be a plugin of WordPress you will download a plugin… of a plugin? This is kind of confusing IMHO. Obviously I’m not talking about PHP programmers or in general skilled people but of regular users.
Third I think that the bbPress project deserve its own space. It is a too well done piece of code and for being a mere WordPress plugin.
If anyone would like to try my plugin, I’ve finally found out how to upload it! You may download it here. ^_
Hey all,
For years I’ve used vBulletin for discussion forums. However, I have recently began to use bbPress for support forums on WordPress powered sites.
There are a lot of good tutorials on bbPress integration however some of the articles don’t go into that much detail in some areas so I decided to write my own tutorial on the matter.
It’s difficult to cover everything, but I have tried to note some of the most common problems which arise when integrating bbPress and WordPress. If you are unsure about anything please let me know

Thanks,

You can use the Mass Delete Users plugin to delete spammers:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mass-delete-users/
This is similar, and lets you delete the spam messages themselves:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mass-edit/
Are the 100 people real users, or are they using a bot?
I see. Ok, if bbPress stays as standalone yet – i will stay with it.
In my plans – make good wiki about bbPress and make some skins for it.
But i need 1.0.3 final (or maybe i can start now with 1.1 beta?)
but everybody must understand our apprehensions about bbPress future,
we used very good forum engine and one day he will become WP plugin…
