Enable pingbacks and trackbacks on both WP and BB & XML-RPC publishing protocols. It’s in the WRITING & DISCUSSION in the admin section.
I’d like the ability for members to add an avatar with their bbpress profiles? What is the best way to accomplish this
Hi, I’m trying to integrate bbPress with Buddypress using the guide here: http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/07/17/integrating-buddypress-wordpress-mu-and-bbpress/
I have done this successfully on my localhost, but trying to do on on our host’s webspace is proving difficult.
The integration of cookies works fine, but when I add a group to Buddypress, where is should normally say:
“Enable discussion forum”
It says:
“Attention Site Admin: Group forums require the correct setup and configuration of a bbPress installation.”
This is the part where a forum should automatically be created for the group. The passwords match up, the only difference I can see is one is using localhost and the other is using external webspace. Our host don’t allow us to set a folder to have 777 file permissions, which I thought could be the problem?
My question is, does the bbpress folder need 777 permissions for it to integrate successfully this way, or should I be looking somewhere else for the problem?
Thanks
I think if you can take an RSS to email service, that is about the closest you would come. I don’t know of a plugin that allows replies by email. But things like Feedburner, Feedblitz and AWeber offer email to RSS for the delivery, but replies are not going to work like mailman.
If you need mailman style functions, why not use mailman? Is there something that bbPress offers that mailman does not?
Justin is saying to ask everyone over here. It’s like the old days when Adobe products weren’t meshing well with Windows 95. : )
With the exception of a few layout issues, it’s it appears the header and footer are carrying over. I’m willing to dig into those on my own, considering the number of files it involves, after I know the navigation and other functionality also carry over. Mostly just wanting to focus on getting the navigation to carry over.

Is there a plugin that could allow BBPress be used in conjunction with a mailman style mailing list.
So that anything posted to the forum is sent out to the mailing list and any emails sent to the mailing list are posted to the forum in the relevant place?
Seems to work now. Could have been a temporary problem. Rest of it is working fine.
Thanks.

You could ask Justin Tadlock about Hybrid for bbPress.
Is the header and footer carrying over OK, except for the navigation?
Does the rest of your forum work? A database connection problem should affect the whole forum, not just the admin.
WordPress sidebar code will not work straight away.
You can find themes that use sidebars here and maybe find something you can copy from:

Or, you can find professional help with programming for bbPress here:

Or, anyone familiar with modifying WordPress should be able to help as well since they’re very similar.
Yes, it will work fine with many users. It’s in use at WordPress.org if you want to see lots of users and activity. https://wordpress.org/support/
You can also check the top 100 sites using bbPress here and see how they feel to you:

You can find forums with lots of users, lots of posts, or both.
Greenshady – here’s the author of that plugin:
https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/dragly
Here’s where it came from I think:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1016
I don’t see that it was ever added as a plugin. It’s worthwhile to leave it here I think.
I was trying to figure out where I downloaded this plugin, but the author’s site isn’t really up at the moment.
http://justintadlock.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/inactivetomember.zip
What this does is check if the current user (once logged in) has a role. If he doesn’t, it gives them the default bbPress role.
If anyone can find the original download link, mods, feel free to remove the link to my zip file.
secure_auth_salt is only present if you’re accessing wp-admin via https protocol, otherwise it’s not needed. The bbPress installation used to have a note about that at this field.
auth_salt you can get from your WordPress installation, at this URL:
http://www.example.com/wp-admin/options.php
I thought those notes were present on the bbPress installation screen…
That should work just fine. What you want to do can be done and should be done in the stylesheet, not with a modification to the bbPress core. Did you try in a different browser to make sure your old stylesheet was not cached or something? Can you post the URL so people can check it out?
I banged my head on this issue over two clean installs. Then Gerikg suggested that you need to make sure your URL in bbPress doesn’t include the ‘www’. Check that in your General settings.
Please where Can I find : auth_salt and secure_auth_salt, Still stuck at the 2nd installation steps. Trying to integrate wordpress and bbpress
I formerly had login integration working between wordpress and bbpress, but it stopped when I upgraded to bppress 1.0. For wordpress I’m on version 2.8.3. Perhaps i did something incorrectly. These keys are not present in the bb-config.php file.
BB_AUTH_KEY
BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY
BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY
BB_NONCE_KEY
I added them to the bb-config.php file from the wp-config file. All the salt keys match the ones in wordpress, and I checked the meta table in the db to be sure.
i added the following line to wp-config and bb-config
define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/lhw/’ );
Is it possible that bbpress wasn’t installed correctly to use the new security features? Any suggestions?
Having the same issues here, saw the plugin on wpmu-enable-bbpree-capabilities but I would wait a little until some one more experienced here would say something.
Basically the issue is that after installation and synch between bbpress and wordpress I see that the new users (except admin) have their roles assigned to Inactive.
Any help please ?
The plan for a second there was to run the codex from the BuddyPress.org site (which is WPMU). It didn’t pan out for some technical reasons, but the domain is still mapped there.
Thanks for your gratitude, I have indeed left Automattic. I decided it was time to move on and pursue some of my own ideas and other interests.
I won’t have much time to contribute to bbPress now and I can’t report who is going to be taking over from me or if anyone is even being sought for the role.
It has been great being so involved in this project and I appreciate all the help that people have given in peer support on these forums and with the code itself.
@chrishajer I believe I found originally that including only wp-load.php did not register the actions and filters in WordPress and I wanted to keep those for our specific installation. But generally speaking, it would carry quite a bit less load 
@AphelionZ I am very glad you solved the problem, congratulations!
