Is there any way to change the admin name that I setup at the beginning of the installation. I need to change it only at the posts section.

Yes. You can just use the old program files in the directory, with your old database.

> Or can I install version 1.0 in the same directory using the old database?

If you are going to do this, you are basically upgrading your old installation (old database, installing new files.)

It might be better to try and figure out what went wrong than burn the house down and start over from scratch.

Also, interesting to see this tag: core plugin

OK, I know is hard for you guys dealing with the same dumb questions from ignorants like me about databases, upgrading and messing things up. Thats why you are so specials and thats why we all want our own forums to return the favor to other people. Thanks bbpress community for doing this for free while that guy Matt is making millions with WP.

Now the questions:

Things were wrong while upgrading, but the database is still in place and I have the back up of the database in my PC.

Can I reinstall a broken installation in the same directory with the same database (Version 0.94)?

Or can I install version 1.0 in the same directory using the old database?

Thanks

Thanks, here is the php:

And one final question , there is a way to reinstall using the same database and directory ?

The basic template shows H1 tag as the main forum name for all pages. I want that the H1 tag will reflect:

1. Topic Page = <h1>The Topic Title</h1>

= <h2>The Main BBpress Forum Title</h2>

2. Specific Forum Page = <h1>The Specific Forum Title</h1>

= <h2>The Main BBpress Forum Title</h2>

I think I need to change it both in the header.php and topic.php, in the ‘Kakumei’ template (the base bbpress template).

Any ideas?

Thanks!

[wordpress Spec]

Hi all,

I do try the integration with applications but I get a problem, but really problems is that if I login on WP I lost login on bbpress and if I login on bbpress I lost login on WordPress.

I set in wp-config.php and bb-config.php with same constant:

AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY, NONCE_KEY and BB_AUTH_KEY, BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY, BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY, BB_NONCE_KEY

and I set the 3 value on bbpress setting page, I leave blank field “WordPress “secure auth” cookie salt” beacause I don’t have this field on wordpress.

I installed bbpress integration plug in on wordpress and set the url of forum and I write in wp-config file this string:

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

This looks promising and very exciting the say the least.

Hi,

I have installed bbpress first with my own website. Now, when I have a lot of users on it, I want to switch my website to a wordpress based website. I know it is possible if you want to install bbpress on a wordpress website. I want to ask if I can install wordpress after I have installed bbpress. i.e. I want to transfer all my users from bbpress to wordpress etc.

Thanks

[56alifar]

Did you get this work already?

[paulhawke]

@crosescu – there’s an interesting argument that would say more people would use wordpress (and for that matter bbPress too) if the codebase werent a monolithic structure. For instance, the ability to swap out user authentication to do single-signon against a Kerberos server rather than the built-in user-auth, or against the code in Mediawiki, should I want to integrate there. My hope is that merging yet more code in wont cause the entire house of cards to collapse around our ears.

[Cristian]

It makes perfect sense for making bbPress a plugin for WordPress.

Now that WordPress MU code has been merged into WordPress 3.0 making bbPress a plugin should be even easier. bbPress already barrows a lot of code from WordPress anyway and also bbPress uses the exact same database tables (ie taxonomy tables)

A lot more people would be using bbPress on their WordPress powered websites if the issues related to the integration of the two separate login systems no longer existed and people were also able to easily use the same theme they have on their blog.

The standalone bbPress should probably stay but i think bbPress would be used by a lot more people than it is now if it was made a plugin.

[leander8728]

Hmmm i think that i’m doing something wrong. Because: If i login in bbpress, i became logged out in wp. If i login in WP, i became logged out in bbpress.

[guarda-faro]

Into the bb-templates directory the readme.txt says: “This directory is reserved for themes distributed with the bbPress core package. If you wish to install more themes, you should create a new directory called “my-templates” in the base directory of your bbPress installation and install them there, not here.”

I did it, but did not work. It works only if I put the new themes into the same bb-templates directory. Wich is the right way?

[kmxz]

I’ve done it but I edited a lot in functions.bb-core.php and functions.bb-template.php.

Is there any way to achieve it without editing files? I don’t know bbpress plugin API clearly….

[Arturo]

create a new kay and change it to bb-config and wp-config

go to bbpress wp integration and check again the key… follow the step

after this download and install bbpress integration for wordpress plugin add the code to your wp-config file

i’ve followed this step with my 2 site wp-bb and all works good with wp last version and bbpress 1.0.2.

[Arturo]

in profile.php i’ve found this <?php echo get_user_name( $user->ID ); ?> but in post.php don’t print nothing… i don’t know bbpress very good to recreate the function

any idea for a simplest way?

thanks!

[leander8728]

Hello,

My integration between WP & BB is failed. Because if i login in WordPress, i must login again in BBpress. So the cookies aren’t the same. But wp-config and bb-config have the same AUTH Keys (So BB_AUTH_KEY and AUTH_KEY are the same (and the rest too ofcourse))

I don’t understand what i am doing wrong.

One thing is good integrated: The users. In both installation, i can logged in with every username. (that is registered)

EDIT:

When i see in bb-admin/options-wordpress.php, the AUTH KEY’s are different then the KEY’s that i have set in de bb-config and wp-config.

Thanks

Note: Micheal is not willing to solve any issue of bbpress.

I hate to bring this up – but I simply cannot ignore this. Pagal, please do not spread false information. I simply stated that I’m unable to get access to my server at the moment, for various reasons. So not willing is a false reproduction of the truth.

Like I have said before, as soon as I have access to it again, I will show you the different means and ways of customizing your front page.

Take care

[chrishajer]

You can certainly use another database for bbPress, but there’s no need for it, it makes integration more difficult, and creating a new database is not going to help with the original problem, which is just incorrect database connection details.

[royho]

Again I would still not install bbPress on the same DB because if I ever wanted to just get rid of bbPress, i simply can delete the whole DB without a care but if it is installed within WP DB, I would have to find each table that is associated with bbPress in your case is prefixed to forum1 and delete all those. For a total novice, it would not be easy to know that technically.

Every hosting account should have their own UI/utility for you to create a database and assign a user to. Godaddy will have that as well, just go into your control panel and you should find it. If memory serves me correctly they also use phpMyAdmin. But I would definitely have a knowledgeable person do it for you.

A Few errors after installing BBpress

There is no packaged release yet.

[jcriley]

@royho,

thanks for the info. i’m pretty novice at this & my first attempt at a forum. how do i create a new database? is it as simple as just creating a new folder to drop bbpress in? if so, do i do it inside the main wp database or adjacent to it?

[dboze]

I’ve seen some threads here and there that suggest its just a matter of using the header and footer code from your wordpress theme and applying it to your bbpress theme.

I’m a real disaster when it comes to doing a whole lot with code. I can only edit and rearrange it. I have no experience with writing any code.

I was wondering if there was anyone more experienced with performing this that I could send the needed wordpress theme files to and maybe I could receive some help with the process?

I am willing to pay for help if needed, I appreciate such generous help.

I recently changed the database host names across several sites. Nothing else changed except that.

I changed the database host names for all my wordpress installs in the config files, and they all work now.

However, simply changing the database host names in the config files for my bbpress installs did not work. I have 2 bbpress installs, and they both say “Error: Could not establish a database connection.” I then tried to edit the host name where I found it in the database, and it still does not work.

My question is what have I done wrong? Why would changing the database host name make it not work when every other database connection works?
