I think webmasters that run a forum, and wanna have “normal” pages for information, should look for a different way, for creating single pages with a reply form, integrating with WordPress is not a good thing IMO.

The reason why I’m saying this is, is that WordPress is under a constant development, but bbPress not, atleast that’s what I read. If WordPress gets updated and bbPress doesn’t and if that breaks the integration, you’ll be stuck on that for a while for support.

r-a-y, you’re a lifesaver. I was having the same problem (and pounding my head against the wall) until I found this post. Thanks.

I thought bbPress just added to the count the number of times a tag was used. If it’s a duplicate, the tag just becomes more popular, and grows in size in the tag cloud. Are you talking about something else?

[InvTrdr]

Does bbPress have the ability to weed out duplicate tags just in case they might be submitted by two or more users again?

Thanks.

Josef, take out in wp-config

/**bbpress integration **/

define('USER_COOKIE', 'wordpressuser');

define('PASS_COOKIE', 'wordpresspass');

define('COOKIEPATH', $base);

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/');

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.thisissite2.com'); // same as bbPress

and bb-config

$bb->wp_home = 'http://thisissite2.com/';

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://thisissite2.com/';



// Integrating with mu

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->cookiedomain = '.thisissite2.com'; // leading . allows subdomain sharing

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser'; // WPMU doesn't hash cookies

$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass'; // WPMU doesn't hash cookies

Use this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/

If you’re using MU you will get 4 lines, cookiehash, cookie_domain, sitecookiepath, and cookiepath.

get the information from there and put it right AFTER this line in wp-config

* @package WordPress

*/

then paste only cookie_domain, sitecookiepath, and cookiepath in bb-config file. leave out cookiehash right after

* @package bbPress

*/

Then get new keys, use this link https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt it has 8 keys put it in both like you did before. Don’t forget the BB_ prefix in bb-config.

Clear your cache and cookies. Give it a try. if that doesn’t work then look in your BB dashboard and check your settings on wordpress integration. make sure if you left out “www” in wordpressd to leave it out on bbpress.

I have two requirements I want to inact with my BBPress. I am unable to figure out how so any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. I want only members logged in to post threads on the forum. Now anyone can.

2. No one is able to make a reply to a post. How can I allow this, and follow the requirement of #1 where the user needs to be registered to do so?

[gerikg]

The integration wasn’t hard. I found only one theme that I wasn’t able to make look like wordpress because it was a complex WP theme to begin with, one with many WP header options. BBpress stand alone is great but if you have a site already and you looking for a forum for just help, like this one. Right now if you click on EXTEND, you will have to login again. It can get annoying especially when you don’t understand that this is more than one “software” working at one site. If your site is a forum site great. If your site is not a forum site, like THIS ONE. The forum is just for help. Plus, with WP you can create multiple pages, gallery, forms, etc etc.

Hi,

With the help of a lot of posts about this topic on this forum I was able to come to a point where I have useres between Wp and BB integrated and I also started the deep integration of WP template and BB press on a test site here:

http://www.itouchaudio.com/forum

I added code to my bbpress config to be able to call wordpress functions. Then I copied over the Wp header.php from my wordpress theme into the bbpress theme folder (hope that was right). Now what you see on the above link is the result so far. still got quite a bit of problems I guess. The CSS of the forum seems to be not available so ….

I am wondering this: What do i do with the CSS files… At the moment I am loading the CSS file from wordpress theme but also the CSS file from the bb press theme…. Of course that doesn’t work 100% as you can see but what should i do? How can you have the CSS for both the Wp and BB theme integrated to work together?

BTW: In case this is important I am using the bbpress forum theme (the one that mimics the look of the bbpress forum, the one right here).

I know this goes a bit already into a CSS problem, not specifically BB press anymore but I was hoping some of you might be able to point me into the right direction looking at what I got so far.

Thanks for any help.

The only thing difference from an bbPress + WP website is, compared to a standalone bbPress website, is dat the integrated version, CAN have articles posted that look like normal pages, with a comment form.

Now if there was a plugin for bbPress, which could give the option to post articles on normal pages and let users leave comments (ehm, replies) on it, I think a lot of users didn’t had to integrate at all.

It would then all depend on how the template looked like.

@chrishajer thanks for the plugin, gonna test it later

[gerikg]

First try changing permissions on the my-template folder. (http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/09/fix-my-templates-my-plugins-folder-not-working-bbpress/)

Hello. I just upgraded to bbpress 1.0.2 from 0.9.x and everything went well. The only issue I’m having is that the administration template is not loading when I log in. It just looks all white without any template showing. I can access all admin pages and do all admin functions, its just the layout that’s missing. My login name is not “admin”, but a name I chose when installing bbpress 0.7 some time ago. Could it be related to this? What could be the problem?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Sorry, pasted the wrong link before.

“why to integrate at all?”

I think I explained it:

1. so you can make the two look similar by using WordPress functions

2. so your users can log in once and be logged in in both places

Other than that, I don’t see a benefit either, and certainly not enough benefit to jump through all the hoops that are required to get it working.

I’m strongly against deep integration. It slows down bbPress and WordPress, and most of the time (especially with bb1.0) it will create errors. If you integrate using the built-in integration settings, you’ll be able to share logins and user accounts between bbPress and WordPress. For me, it’s no integration (for example, forums that aren’t tied to a specific blog) or normal integration (for forums that are).

[chandersbs]

I was thinking that integrating bbPress with WP, doesn’t let you benefit from most WP plugins, why to integrate at all?

[chrishajer]

Integrating does not help WordPress plugins work on bbPress. If that’s all you’re looking for, you probably don’t need integration. If you’d like to ensure that WordPress plugins work in your forum, maybe you want a forum plugin for WordPress, not bbPress.

[chrishajer]

There is a bbPress SEO plugin too:

This is the best source of information I know of, and I don’t see a greek translation here:

Hi all,

is there a greek version of bbPress available now, or do I have to follow the above procedure?

Thanks

I figured out that this error only pops up when CK’s BBPress Polls plugin is activated?

Does anyone out there know how to figure out which part of the plugin to alter to keep these two plugins working in harmony?

To clarify… the error pops up when I click NEW PM using the BBPM plugin from NightGunner but only when BBPress Polls is activated.

[jcw]

Had to add an extra rule to make this work for continuation pages of the front page:

“^/page/([0-9]+)/?$” => “/?page=$1”,

There appears to be an issue still, within BBpress 1.02 this time: when on a continuation page, the link for “Page 1” does not include a “1” but the number of the current page – so the link does nothing and does not return to the home page.

[Mark-k]

There are some WP plugins which should work without any changes, those are the plugins which do not interact with the actual content, like google analitycs or super cache. Plugins which need the interaction will probably not work, or at least not as expected, but if you are willing to do some coding, in the long run it might be easier to adapt an existing WP plugin to be used with BB than to support two different plugins, one for each platform.

tried it and it doesn’t work……..

I am praying you are right. This feature is extremely important!
