Do you have access to the server logs? That 500 error should be logged.
Hello All.
I am trying to install bbPress to my WordPress MU installation for 4th time now.
During the installation process, in the Step 2 where we have the option to integrate the Forums with WordPress, I type all the AUTH keys and all other keys and user database settings correctly, but it ends up showing the following error.
“There was a problem connecting to the WordPress user database you specified. Please check the settings, then try again.”
I’m 100% sure I’ve typed the correct data. Okay. So I skipped the User integration part and proceed to finish the installation. Then, I get my Forums set up. Nice and running. Good. But in the Admin page, if I try to integrate the users with WordPress, I am suddenly logged out of my account and my Admin account is vanished.
If I try to log-in, it says there’s no such account and I can’t access the Admin page any longer/
Why is this happening and what should I do?
I am also having trouble deep integrating my WP & bbPress installs so that I can call WP functions from within bbPress
When I add the line to the top of my bb-config.php file
require_once(‘/absolutepathto/wp-load.php’);
I get 500 server errors and cannot access any page of the bbPress install at all. This happens even when plugins (I have only 2) are deactivated, so I’m pretty sure it’s not a plugin conflict.
I’m also using WP 2.8.6 and bbPress 1.0.2.
1. I see you’re using 1.0.1. I would recommend upgrading to the latest to see if that happens to fix it.
2. I added a tag to a topic, and I do not have the [X] to remove my own tag. Why can’t I delete my own tag?
There is also some additional functionality where it shows ‘tree’ by ‘chrishajer’ – that’s not there by default, so how is that being added?
This error does not occur by default in bbPress, so there is something specific about your installation. If it’s not the template, maybe it’s a plugin or something else you added.
I’ve tried recounting and restocking everything. None of that helps
Gonna try removing Mass Delete Users soon, just need some time. I get two new spambots a day now you see. It seems the more I delete them, the more they register.
My guess out of your list of plugins would be the mass delete users plugin. Maybe the post counts and pagination rely on the user being a valid user or something? I would disable that plugin and then do a recount and test.
Have you tried a recount in the admin? Maybe there was something caught as spam or bozo, then rescued, and the count got messed up? Can you post the results of recounting here?
Hi,
i tried to integrate my wordpress 2.8.6 and bbpress 1.0.2. I think I made everything as the description. Bbpress now uses wordpress database, I fixed also the keymaster role from the db directly. But i still have one problem. When i log in from wordpress, I’m not logged in bbpress. I think it worked one or two times, but now it’s not working.
Freshly Baked Cookies plugin is not working, is that the problem and if the plugin is working will be the integration ok?
bbPress because it’s the only forum software I know that can be easily customized . In phpbb, VB, IPB etc… you have to browse lines of code juste to change the HTML structure, you even have to hardcode something in the core files, which is not the case with bbPress because you have powerful things like hooks, templates etc…
But of course, you need some knowledge in HTML and Php ( at least some basics ) in order to make your bbPress really unique .
All in all, I think that bbPress is the best forum software for web developpers looking to customize ENTIRELY a forum and make it really unique . Just take a look at the lame phpBB2 boards out there, they are all identical, except the headers, nothing unique, the same structure etc…
I think you’re on to something Chrishajer! But I have already listed my plugins above, and none of them affects counting – that I know of.
There must be some sort of bug in BBpress v. 1.02. Thats what I use.
Cause how come this only happens occasionally, and not all the time. If you try to post there, you can see for yourself, that eventually, page 7 will appear. Try posting one or two times, and it will trigger the creations of Page 7.
If you change the page 6 to a page 7 in the address bar, your post comes up. It looks like an issue with pagination. The front page and the topic page showed only 6 pages, but there were actually 7 pages and yours (and another, and now two others) were on page 7.
So what plugins do you have that would affect pagination? Anything that would hide posts for any reason? Looks like bbPress is counting up enough posts to show that there are 6 pages, but there are really 7. I suspect the post count is wrong on the front page too (it said 180, but there were probably more like 180, assuming 30 per page.)
What version of bbPress? And what plugins?
the bug has happened again!
If you are quick to check my forum out now, you can see for yourself.
Go to http://www.michaeljackson.no/forum and see the top discussion “Velkommen til nytt forum”. There are six pages, where I – Marius have the last reply. But when clicking on number “6”, you don’t see my last reply at all. You see user “eps” reply instead, mine is not showing at all, anywhere in the topic. It has not appeared yet.
Okay, I’ve done something really simple, and I need some advices ( security, XSS vulnerabilities etc… ) as its the first hook I write for bbPress and I don’t want my future maths board to be hacked at its launch :
EDIT : as bbPress escapes some characters, I posted my code on pastebin : http://pastebin.com/f4e5653cd .
yes, but how can i disable wrapping for

@wpJunkie, did you find any kind of resolution? I’m launching a site with a very similar setup, also using aMember. It’s been a challenge. I don’t remember if I’ve tested the ability to post to forums yet. I was wondering if you’re using the latest version of WPMU + BuddyPress (with bbPress built in) or if you were using one of the earlier versions of BuddyPress where bbPress was not built in with it.
Start a new topic for your new topic please.
I integrated wordpress with BBpress, using the bbPress-WordPress syncronization plugin, it works fine, but I want to link the comments button under the post to direct to the proper forum topic. Is there a way to do this? Or a plugin for this?
EDIT: Actually, nevermind. After making a few posts and reading the hundreds of comments, it’s clear that this plugin is still buggy and not complete, and every other sync plugin is out of date. Off to try something else, BBpress has nothing yet to offer that any other forum doesn’t already have if it can’t integrate completely with wordpress..
@chrishajer
Thaaannk yoouu!!! That totally worked!! =]
Calling all bbPress developers, please consider volunteer to help out.
Newbies like myself are counting on you!!!
You need to change localhost to this can0932412570712.db.5237484.hostedresource.com since that’s the name of the host your database resides on. It will work fine after that, assuming the password is correct.

What am I doing wrong, why can’t I get past this part? Do I have to edit a certain file? Just today I installed phpbb3 with these setting, why isn’t it working with bbpress?
I want to know what bbpress can do. Direct me to sites with bbpress forums that you like if you can, thanks. =]
Glad to see this is still being developed. I REALLY want to see bbPress incorporated into WordPress better!
To chime in, I’m having the same problem.
However, it looks like the plug-in just doesn’t know where to find install.php by default. For example, my install.php is in http://…/wp-content/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php but the 404 error comes when the plug-in looks for it in http://…/wp-content/bbpress/install.php
I’ve found that manually rewriting the URL to the true install.php will side-step the step 1 404 error.
