To developers: if i have bbPress itself hosted in myforum.mydomain.net, i am able to move this to bbPress plugin later, when plugin is stable?

[Casemon]

I list the plugins that the forum uses above… have several other plugins in the WP install, but none that should touch login cookies.

I’m at a loss… sure wish BBPress was integrated with WP more; seems like it’s trying to exist in two worlds at once.

Hi,

its possible to protect other own .php sites with the BBPress Login?

Like this:

Here is the forum

./page/bbpress

To protected pages:

./page2/index.php

./page3/index.php

sry for bad english

Is there any more information on this?

I have had a similar problem – when I installed BBPress on my WP site, I suddenly lost the ability to edit or delete existing posts, and EVERY page and post in my site (all Public pages) result in a 404 error except when you’re logged in as a member. As I installed BB with the intent of an integration, all the BB tables went straight into the existing WP database, I am assuming my problem lies in a new column within the wp_posts table called “forum_id”.

I was also hesitant about editing the DB, though, as I didn’t know a whole lot about it. Would also assume that the tables with prefix wp_forums are the ones generated by BB…is this right? Can someone give me some idea of how to fix this, as it is a really serious problem and has basically disabled the whole site (even the home page can not be viewed by non-members).

BBPress appears as WP plugin on the repository right now;

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/

What’s the schedule? will current themes be compatible with the plugin?

With BBPress as plugin WP is becoming the best CMS out there!

Developers, please don’t forget;

* fix slugs, “topic” and “forum” thing

* move all functions.bb-template.php template stuff to the template folder

I apologise in advance if I come across as a newb – in a lot of ways, I am!!

This morning I tried to install (and integrate) BBpress at http://www.serenespirit.com.au, which is running WordPress 2.9. The WordPress side of things was working perfectly until this, so I am lead to believe that BBPress is the most obvious culprit of my problems now, but I have also posted an urgent HELP to the good people on the WordPress forum.

Anyway, long story fairly short, I went through the BBPress install / integration following the instructions at http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-integration-coockie-does-not-work#post-61969. I got to the end of it, tried it out, and it didn’t work. I figured I have missed something, so instead of going back over it step by step I deleted BBPress from the server, updated the cookies on WP using the wp.config file, and reset the cache in my browser.

Here’s where the panic sets in – suddenly, I couldn’t view any of the PUBLIC pages and posts in wordpress (including the home page!) unless I was logged in, either as Admin or another user. EVERY page and post results in a 404. To add insult to injury, I now can not delete or change the status of ANY post or page (I.e from public – private), although I can edit the content.

I have been through the WP forums with a fine comb, tried deleting the WP .htaccess file, resetting permalinks to Default, deactivated all my plugins and reset the AUTH keys in wpconfig a half dozen times, nothing is working.

The only thing I can think of is that something very screwy is going on with the DB, but not knowing enough about it I am really hesitant to start playing with it any more. I understand this really needs to be fixed within WP, but I thought since this only started after my attempt to install BB SOMEONE here might have an idea of even something else I could TRY. I am at a loss, and this is a client’s live website!!

PLEASE HELP!!

[LeftCoastMichael]

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.

[Gautam]

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.

[Casemon]

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?
