Hi John:

Great question. I have not WRITTEN anything in WordPress, but WordPress is one of the “canned options” for this website hosting platform (godaddy.com linux).

I will be pleased to give you the login and pw to admin the site if that would help, you could look at the files, etc. The only thing that I’ve actually uploaded to it is the set of uncompressed bbpress files.

Please advise. THanks alot

A.

WordPress info:

I have wordpress Version 2.8.4 set up following these directions:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

…so the wordpress folder is located here: http://www.example.com/cms/

…but the world sees the blog here: http://www.example.com/

I have permalinks set up with Day and name (a.k.a.: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/)

bbPress info:

I installed bbPress 1.0.2 here: http://www.example.com/forums/

The problem:

I’m having some problems with this setup which I think are being caused by mod_rewrite.

I try to login at https://www.example.com/forums/ (using the login and password emailed to me after installation) and it seems to accept my login, but then tries to take me to this url: https://www.example.com/forums/forums/ and then shows a wordpress 404 not found page.

Any ideas?

Thanks very much in advance for any help!

Hi,

I want to attempt a deep integration with my wordpress theme and I’m just wondering if there is a definitive set of instructions or thread on here that goes over what to do. I’ve seen a few, but they were started over 2 years ago.

Are those still the best/most relevant?

Thanks for your time. I know some people here have been on this journey with bbpress for the 2 years so they would know the answer to this question the best.

I’m planning on launching a bbPress forum sometime in the months ahead, but want to add a few important features.

1) I’d like to add ‘avatars’ beside each forum, just like vbulletin and other forum setups let you do. Is this possible?

2) I’d like to tie-in ‘recent comments’, ‘new threads’, etc. lists in a widget on my blog. Something that updates in real time as posts are made… Just a way to funnel more folks from the blog into the forums… is this doable as well?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I put in something for the Secret Key but it says “Error! Not equal secret keys in WordPress and bbPress”.

Why and how do I fix this? I am on the WordPress side doing bbPress syncronization. Do I need to go to

the bbPress side and put the same Secret Key somewhere?

[xfatpanda]

I worked with wordpress for a while, but I’m really new to BBpress. I can’t find detail documents for BBpress like wordpress does.

If I want to use different templates for different categories in wordpress, I can use the following script.

<?php

$post = $wp_query->post;

if ( in_category(‘1) ) {

include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single-1.php’);

}

elseif ( in_category(‘2’) ) {

include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single-2.php’);

}

else {

include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single-3.php’);

}

?>

But I don’t know how to make it in BBpress, could anyone help me out? Thanks a lot!

I am running BBpress V 1.0.2 and for some reason some members are having an issue with links going to the wrong post. I cannot replicate the error in any browser with my admin user but I can log in as one of the users that is having the issue and see it via their login. Has anyone ever seen the issue? I do have a long list of plugins that is seems any one could the the culprit but it seems really odd that only some members are having the issue.

I am currently attempting something similar. I have an integrated WP and bbPress but want to switch to WPMU. I’ve successfully imported the user tables through phpMyAdmin. There are three columns you need to add to the wp_users table:

display_name - varchar(250) - blank default value

spam - tinyint(2) - default value = 0

deleted - tinyint(2) - default value = 0

And in wp_usermeta table you need to do a SQL search and replace to change all values that have wp_ to wp_1_ (because the main blog in WPMU has got that table prefix)

UPDATE wp_posts SET meta_key = replace(meta_key, 'wp_','wp_1_');

[Ivaylo Draganov]

this is a popular demand…

maybe take a look at some old threads, like this one:

[johnhiler]

Do you mean the Role of each user? If so, try this:

[johnhiler]

Ah I just was noticing that you’re calling four separate CSS files in your bbpress install! That’s a lot… you might want to narrow that down a bit.

[johnhiler]

What is your active theme?

The CSS that Chris referred to is probably in the subfolder of your active theme… which should be under your /my-templates/ folder.

[christianrharris]

Got it, I was looking in my BBpress themes folder instead of wordpress themes folder. Thanks!

[circuit]

+1 for this question. I would also like to know..

[xarzu]

Ah Ha!!

I just got the bbPress url working!! (happy emoticon here) It is good to see it say

bbPress url Everything is ok!

It is a little tricky. The trick is that the plugin php for bbpress and for wordpress have different file names and you do NOT use the exact same zip file for both plug ins.

Now I just need to know what the secret key in wordpress and bbpress is and where to find it. This is the new error.

[johnhiler]

Hopefully the plugin developer can help you… his contact information is here:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/

[xarzu]

Does the plug in work?

My problem is that after “URL is incorrect or connection error, please verify it (full variant): ” it has a url address to a file that is mixed up. How do I clear it out? And no matter what I put in the field for the the bbPress url, it does not change it.

[johnhiler]

What is installed on your server… only bbPress? Or do you also have a WordPress install somewhere on there…

[johnhiler]

Try deleting that require_once line… what that does is enable “deep integration”, so that you can call WordPress functions from inside of bbPress.

Most people don’t need that sort of deep integration – I don’t use it myself. I just use user/cookie integration, so that users only have to sign in once to either my WordPress or my bbPress and they’re all set.

[johnhiler]

Here’s a list of bbPress professionals, although I don’t know how many of them have done development:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-professionals-advertise-in-this-topic

The most prolific developers are _ck_ and Nightgunner5.

Nightgunner5 has written 9 plugins that I’m aware of (I use two of them, and they are excellent):

https://bbpress.org/plugins/profile/nightgunner5

_ck_ is by far the most prolific developer, with 60 plugins:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/profile/_ck_

But according to that link above on bbshowcase (her site), she’s not available right now. If you have a larger budget though, it might be worth dropping her a line and seeing if she’s open to it.

You might also try Ivan here:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/

If there are active plugin developers that I’ve missed, please let cupra know in the comments!

Good luck! And if you’re open to contributing any custom plugins to the plugin section when you’re done, that’d be great! I’d be glad to help test the plugin…

[johnhiler]

I’ve seen that exact error before!

Here are the reports, along with a proposed fix:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cannot-integrate-users-with-wp

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/require_once-problems

Hope that helps!

[johnhiler]

I don’t know, I’m not that familiar with that particular plugin… sorry!

You may want to try emailing the plugin author? He mentioned in the comments a few times that he’d provide custom programming or support in exchange for a donation, so you may want to offer that?

Let us know how it turns out!

[xarzu]

Is this thing, this setting or server feature, called “php-curl “?

This is also called “PHP Client URL Library” and my web site hosting provider says they support this and it is ready to use on my website.

[johnhiler]

There’s no future posting in bbPress that I’m aware of… although version 1.0 supports a posting API, which might make that easier to pull it off.

The syncing approach could work as well – I don’t have much experience with those plugins, but here’s the link to the plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/

My guess is that your best bet would be to hire a developer to make a custom plugin for ya…
