Same issue here. I think its related to adminbar.css … all menu appears but vertical! The calvary is yet to come….

They have importers only from phpbb I think.

I wrote a long German text on my german bbPress-Website to draw some attention to the current, sad situation from German bbPress-Users — many of them can’t read English easily…

[buddha-trance]

I remember struggling a bit to make it work, and I have tried several different recommendations I found in these forums. Now there is this guide that may be very helpful

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101

Let me tell you what I have defined in my config files, to make it work seamlessly:

1 – wp-config

SECRET_KEY your value

AUTH_KEY your value

SECURE_AUTH_KEY your value

LOGGED_IN_KEY your value

NONCE_KEY your value

then, at the end of the wp-config file

define('COOKIEHASH', 'your value');

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.www.yourdomain.com');

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/wp-admin');

define('COOKIEPATH', '/');

– on the cookie_domain there must be a . (period) before the url

– sitecookiepath is for root installations, if you have WP in a subdirectory, then change the path to, for example /blog/wp-admin

– cookiepath is OK with just ‘/’ (also if WP is in a subdirectory, at least this was my case, even if the integration plugin told me otherwise, which did not work for me)

2 – bb-config

BB_AUTH_KEY to match the WP key

BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY to match the WP key

BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY to match the WP key

BB_NONCE_KEY to match the WP key

then, at the end of the bb-config file I have

// Start integration speedups



// WordPress database integration speedup

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'yourprefix_';



// WordPress cookie integration speedup

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'url to match what you have in WP general settings';

$bb->wp_home = 'url to match what you have in WP general settings';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->authcookie = 'wordpress_here goes the same sequence of numbers to match the cookiehash in wp-config';

$bb->secure_auth_cookie = 'wordpress_sec_here goes the same sequence of numbers to match the cookiehash in wp-config';

$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_here goes the same sequence of numbers to match the cookiehash in wp-config';

$bb->admin_cookie_path = '/forums-directory/bb-admin';

$bb->core_plugins_cookie_path = '/forums-directory/bb-plugins';

$bb->user_plugins_cookie_path = '/forums-directory/my-plugins';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '';

$bb->wp_admin_cookie_path = '/wp-admin';

$bb->wp_plugins_cookie_path = '/wp-content/plugins';



// End integration speedups

– the last two if WP is installed at the root, otherwise

‘/blog-directory/wp-admin’

‘/blog-directory/wp-content/plugins’;

to get sets of keys

https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/

https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt

I can’t remember how I got that cookiehash value…

a possible helpful thread, just in case

Currently on WP 2.8.6 and bbPress 1.0.2

I hope this helps.

Has anyone got BBPress Polls working perfectly with version 1.02?

I tried it a few months back, and didnt turn out good.

Is there any other poll plugins that works?

[batarista]

Increased memory_limit in php.ini from 8Mb to 16Mb & restarted wampserver: bbPress installation then worked perfectly.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Resource Limits ;

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

max_execution_time = 30 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds

max_input_time = 60 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data

memory_limit = 16M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)

Many thanks for your very impressive software and excellent support :>)

@Matt: I’ll be needing a new forum on my own site shortly; one that fully integrates with multiple WP installs. So I can certainly babysit the code base if you need someone to oversee BBPress for a day per week or so.

It *would* be much more appropriate if CK and Sam were around, however. My understanding is CK got pissed. Where is Sam at?

D.

[Marius-]

Glad you’re in on it folks.

I believe that if BBPRess was included in the WordPress install, as a default plugin or something, it would force higher interest.

[buddha-trance]

@kriskl, @sockmonkey – There are many plugins that work with 1.0.2, though they were developed up to the 9.0x version. I am currently using 26 plugins (and have a few more inactive at the moment), there were also several others that I tested to work, but didn’t need.

Here is an initial list to get started, when they were testing the alpha version, before the official 1.0 release

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/list-of-plugins-that-work-on-rc1

Sometimes, it is also mentioned in the discussions on the individual plugin page.

Of course, having a local test install allows me to test them, before using the plugins on a live site…

[f1f]

Thanks for the quick reply.

I can’t find any file called php_errorlog in my bbpress installation. Where is it usually stored?

[Denis de Bernardy]

Where did Sam go? He felt all alone and decided to stop, or was he assigned something else?

Hello,

I have successfully integrated bbpress 1 and lastest wordpress but having trouble with the header and footer in the forum..

This is what I have done so far…

Copied and renamed kakumei to my-templates/newtheme/

Added <?php get_header(); ?> & <?php get_footer(); ?> to all the required php files.

I then added

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

if ( !defined(‘DB_NAME’) ) {

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-config.php’);

}

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

if ( !defined(‘DB_NAME’) ) {

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-blog-header.php’);

}

to the bb-config.php

& then added

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”/discussions/my-templates/newtheme/style.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”/discussions/my-templates/newtheme/style-rtl.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />

to the WP theme header.php

The forum shows up in the with what looks like the header and footer of my WP theme…

I have a problem with all the css not working… Does adding the url for the css in the WP theme header work or do i need to do this another way?

Thanks

kriskl – You could always go with version 9.06. Most of the plugins work with 9.0x versions right now, no need to wait for the developers to upgrade to 1.0x. Then once the plugins catch up, upgrade to 1.0x.

We run 9.0x right now and have no problems so far (beyond a few cosmetic tweaks) with any of the plugins we are using… which is about 20 or so.

I don’t think bbPress is going anywhere. It is a great little piece of community software. If WP decides to stop supporting it, I bet someone (maybe one of us?) will pick it up and fork off into a new direction for it.

Just today I got an email from someone who visited my bbPress site and they wanted to know what software I was running. They said they really liked it and was hoping it was a plug-in to WP so they could run it. It is feedback like this that WP needs to hear…

[buddha-trance]

I guess it depends on the complexity of the WP theme, but when I matched the looks of the forums, with some trial and error, it wasn’t too complicated. In short, it was a matter of matching header, footer, and use the “hottags” section as the sidebar. If I can backtrack my steps, I will post about it, in case it may help other people, while we are waiting for the official docs.

This WordPress plugin by Sam Bauers also looked very interesting, but I think it’s not working with the latest version of WP, after 2.6.2. It would be nice if the plugin could be updated.

@arpowers – from your site:

iBlogPro now is one of the only WordPress themes with its very own matching BBPress forum Template.

This is a wonderful idea that any theme developer should keep in mind! Kudos for that.

Themes that already come with the matching forum templates for bbPress, will help in keeping the momentum going for this great platform. Such implementation will make bbPress the logical choice, rather than having people looking around for forum platforms, and getting confused.

As for the looks of the theme, what can I say…. I am a mac addict… Very cool!!!

[buddha-trance]

@Marius – thank you for the thread. I have posted there too. The more voices, the merrier.

[buddha-trance]

The bbshowcase.org shutdown yesterday was disorienting for most of us, but I really believe that after a short transition, bbPress will pick up faster than before. There are many bright minds out there.

[Elias]

Oh yes, thank you Marius-, this idea to show the current problem to the WP team was to simple to be mine…

[buddha-trance]

arpowers is right.

and if you look on the automattic projects page, bbPress is right there, mentioned just after WordPress and Akismet, not even last in line.

@Marius – yes, WP is using bbPress.

I have two problems with my BBPress installation (v1.0.2):

> When a user tries to change their password, the change does not take place and the original password remains

> When I try to change a user’s role (e.g. from member to moderator) the change does not take place and the user remains a member

It seems to me both these problems occur in profile.php, so I wonder if they share the same cause?

I’ve had a look through the forum and not been able to find any insight into the problem. Can anyone please help me?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/automated-forum-moderation/ – You just described this plugin almost exactly.

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

I’m hoping someone can help me with integration of my wp 2.8 and bbpress 1.1. So far I have:

1) Set everything correctly in bbpress admin for integration

2) Created a “secret key” in wp-config, and copied it to the bbpress config file

3) Installed the bbPress Integration plugin in wordpress

4) Defined the cookie path in wp and bbpress

5) set the AUTH_KEY in wp, and copied that to bbpress

6) cleared cookies and cache numerous times

and still, logging into one does not log me in to another. I see some mention of a SALT key in these forums, is that what I need?

Any help would be appreciated.
