Thanks, Steve. I’m also having problems getting bbPress integrated with our WP setup. Nobody here seems to know how to do it.

[Steven Hodson]

@LeftCoastMichael .. sorry about that but I’ve been tied up with life and haven’t yet started the series about converting to bbPress from SMF .. I really hope to get to it this week.

I have installed bbpress in the following directory:

http://evolutionaryathletics.com/blogs/forums

When I log into the forum it sends me to the following address:

http://evolutionaryathletics.com/blogs/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-login.php

and I get the following error message:

“Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@evolutionaryathletics.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

Now I don’t have a buddypress installation in my computer and this pathway is non existent on the server. I used to have a buddypress installation but decided that adding bbpress would better suit my needs. I removed the buddypress install from my cpanel and in my database prior to installing bbpress.

Anyone have any great ideas of what i did wrong and how I can fix this?

Thanks for any guidance you can provide

Alex

Try adding this to your bb-config.php:

$bb->uri = 'http://www.example.com/admin/';

or wherever your forum is located. If that does not work there is a config setting stored in the database that you will have to change. This *should* override that though.

Nice to see spoilers for bbPress.

Does this plugin work perfectly? Don’t want to use it till I know for sure…

[nerieru]

Just added a new plugin, it’s called improved spoiler. And it’s based on spoiler-bar.

Download:

Improved Spoiler

Demo:

[to be added]

Features:

– A spoiler function for things best left unseen to the unknowing eye.

– users can add a title by using

– hovering over the hidden text will show the spoiler.

To do:

– Add a spoiler button option, so the block that’s not meant to be seen is completely hidden unless you press the button.

Discuss it here.

I’m using the 1.0.2, it is the current version (see here: https://bbpress.org/download/ )

and I never saw this “add/delete plugin” option.

To add it, you need to upload it in the right directory (wp or bb does not have the same path)

[thierryyyyyyy]

The _CK_ plugin is nearly what I needed because it disable display_name for all user, also for admins and moderator.

But with my previous plugin to show display_names in bb_press 0.9.x and this new plugin to disable them in bb_press 1.x , I could make my own version of plugin

BBpress : Display Name 2

I just proposed it in the official bbpress.org/plugins list, but I don’t know how this “requests” works. I guess I have to wait some validation/moderation.

Thank you all for your answers

The website where you “purchased” the template has the location where you can find the answer at the bottom.

http://www.pagelines.com/themes/iblogpro-forum/

which points to:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#func

(the instructions are in the last paragraph)

[Gautam]

You can see the changes done to default theme here (from 0.9 to 1.0.2) and do the same to your own theme, as most of the custom themes are based on the kakumei theme.

If you have to integrate BuddyPress with bbPress, then just install BuddyPress and install bbPress via BuddyPress. BuddyPress handles the integration very well.

[johnhiler]

If you’re using buddypress, I think it installs its own version of bbPress all on its own to use for its own forums?

[bbrian017]

I uploaded all the files and I’m net getting greeted with the bbPress installer

Any suggestions to why?

I’m installing the latest release and will be integrating with buddy press.

[LeftCoastMichael]

Hi. I followed the instructions to ‘deep integrate’ but it’s not working. The instructions say “All you need to do is specify the location of that database on installation or afterwards in the ‘WordPress Integration’ section of the “Settings” area in your bbPress admin.”

I did that, but when I then go to the forum url, I get this error message:

“Deep Integration With WordPress Required

It appears your WordPress installation isn’t deeply integrated which is required for iBlogPro Forum to work correctly (it needs access to WP functions).

“Please see Deep Integration With WordPress”

Help!

Just downloaded the bbpress-1.0.2.zip went through the install. Tried to activate it and received the error The plugin does not have a valid header.

WP 2.9.1

Any suggestions?

Hello,

I have a client who want to make changes to the main text from front page. The text is located in front-page.php and is easy for somebody to do manually edit, however that function would be great.

In WordPress I would create a custom field and call it there but not sure how it works in BBpress. Will work via a custom plugin or the function.php?

Thanks in advance for your help here!

[Lucian Florian]

Hello,

I have to upgrade the BBpress version 0.9 to the latest one and after reading the new features of 1.0, it say “you may have to do minor adjustments to your theme file”.

The reason I am concerned is that my theme contains some modifications including design/css and some of the functionality, but light.

Can anybody guide me about the changes that might affect a custom theme?

Thank you.

This is a new installation, so am just seeing it. Didn’t notice it during development, and really have no idea how to track it down.

Integration steps taken:

– bb-config.php has COOKIEPATH, BB_AUTH_KEY, BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY, BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY, BB_NONCE_KEY (all keys match values in wp-config.php) & require_once($_SERVER . ‘/’ . ‘wp-blog-header.php’);

– WordPress-bbPress syncronization plugin v0.8.0 installed & active in both WP & bbP.

– bbP has a few other plugins but nothing I would think would affect any of the above issues (allow images, auto add favs, bbcode buttons, bbcode lite, new post notification).

Thought I followed all the integration steps to the letter, but I guess something is amiss. Seen anything like this before?

Hi All,

I am working on a WordPress / bbPress powered site, all has been great until I noticed that the option to Delete and Add a New Plugin had gone…. is this a known problem ?…. any help guys would be great.

Many Thanks,

Chris

[kevinjohngallagher]

We’ve done this before. Relax.

Greatly appreciate you posting Matt, thanks.

With absolute respect though, we know Automattic’s done this before:

• we were here for BBpress 0.9 not integrating to 2 new versions of WordPress and not getting an update when WP did.
• we were here for Sam not posting an update/techy questions answered etc for almost 3 months weeks after 0.9’s release
• we were here for major announcements being slapping into page 3 of non-stickied threads – now apparently they’re half way down IRC logs no-one posts.
• we were here with the BBpress1.0alphas (who remember that fun and games)
• we were here with the awful BBpress1.0 rollout
• we were here with the awful BBpress1.0 testing/bug-fixing (“we have decided to scrap Beta testing and bug fixing and will move to RC1 next week”)
• we were here when the sole developer left
• we’ve had 1 upgrade to BBpress to coincide with 5 updates of WordPress

Thats not me being angry or upset or anything, its just that since the move to BBpress1.0 and the removal of the documentation site to be a porn site, all i can do is ask PM/BAquestions. I know we’re not the most loved bunch by developers (or anyone?? ;-]) but we have a skillset thats sometimes often overlooked by developers.

The developer, BBshowcase.com and BBprogress.org (2 main plugin developers/resources) have left the sinking ship. Heck the ship couldn’t do what it actually said for the last 18 months. With silence from Automattic for months all people could hear was the sound of the band who played us out. It’s great that you’re coming with liferafts and a new engine and any other nautical anaology (really shouldn’t have started this ;-] ), but when you get here and start making the same mistakes I don’t think its wrong for us to at least point them out.

Its great you’re here Matt, its great all the people putitng time and development into it are here (thank you all), and heck even if you don’t take BBpress in a way I personally want, thats cool. I’m not here for a personal agenda of the features i personally want. It just that this project screams out for a PM and instead its got a truly lovely lead developer that everyone likes so much they’re too scared/in-awe to say “Dude, please, take a step back a sec, this is mental”.

We’ve done this before. Relax.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it

Hi guys

If I install and use Simple LDAP plugin for WordPress, and also install bbPress, is bbPress also automatically synchronized with the LDAP/users, og do I need to have a seperate LDAP plugin for bbPress?

Thanks for any answers in advance

[Ryan Hellyer]

I was a bit baffled by this too, but when I brought it up in the IRC chat, most seemed to think it was a better idea to slowly integrate bbPress into WordPress. I thought that would be far more difficult than starting from scratch, but there were a few people in the chat who know far more than I about such things who thought that was an easier approach, so I’m willing to take their word for it.

Since it looks like the move to WordPress isn’t coming any time soon, I’m working on ways to make it easier to integrate WordPress themes into bbPress 0.9 and 1.0 (and any newer versions) without taking a performance hit like you do with deep integration. I’d rather be developing plugins for bbPress, but as pointed out above, there’s not much point developing plugins for a moving target.

[ipunkbali]

ok, i did that, now the bbpress background has a conflict with wp. all turned into white, and the login form is missing

[chrishajer]

I think these are the best instructions thus far for integration:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-integration-coockie-does-not-work#post-61969

There’s nothing specific to 2.9.1 that would make the integration any different from 2.9 or 2.8.6, 2.8.5, etc. There was a change around 2.5 and again around 2.7 (I think) that caused all sorts of problems, but that’s resolved now and since then the 1.0.x version of bbPress should integrate with the latest WordPress.
