Is it possible to convert bbPress users database to WordPress?
Sounds like a classic integration issue.
Start a new thread with the details… make sure to include the version numbers of both bbPress and WordPress, along with whatever techniques you’ve used to integrate the two!
Hello,
I’m pretty new in this BBpress forum thing… I have recently integrated it in my wordpress site. Anyway my problem is that when I put description in my Forum’s title it doesn’t wrap meaning my table expands until the whole paragraph is done which I don’t like.
Here is my forum site so you have an idea what I mean — http://heywhereyou.com/forum
How do I fix this???
Much thanks!
I am happy to release my newest theme for bbPress. It is named snowski for really no reason other than a unique recommendation from Mohit Kumar.
This theme features a nice clean look and includes a jQuery slider for login and registration.
Please visit the following url to download it, see a demo, and instructions:

I have a site which is based on wiki. It is pmwiki and it is not open to edit so no need to integrate login.
I wonder just how I could manage to use bbpress in order to let people comment my wiki pages.
Would it be possible to create a page template which holds both the main wiki page and a specific bbpress thread?
Yes, it seems that also here RSS do not work anymore…

Any idea about what is wrong?
I made the same mistake. It would be a great idea to indicate “You must choose a NEW admin, that doen’t exist yet” at this point of the installation.
I fixed it by reinstalling bbpress but I needed to clean the database first :
– I removed the bb-config.php file
– I looked into the database (using the hosting service tools) and removed all the tables starting with bb_
– then I started back the installation.
I guess you can do it another way, without reinstalling : the problem is that you have bbpress installed without any administrator. You can define one manually in the database (using the hosting service tools) :
– the table wp_users contains the users (I integrated bbp and wp, else I suppose there should be a bb_users, but then we shouldn’t have this error…)
have a look at it and remember the ID of the user you want to put keymaster (for me, it’s 1)
– the table wp_usermeta contains some values about the users.
add a new line containing :
* umeta_id : a non-used umeta_id
* user_id : the ID of the user (1 for me)
* meta_key : bb_capabilities
* meta_value : a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;} (I don’t know what it means)
– then try to connect to your forum and look if you can administrate it !
Can someone says if it works ?
Hello, I have a working translation for bbPress 1.0.2, and Im having the topic_time() issue too.
It doesnt translate into my local language, even though months, days etc, are translated in the lang file.
When I use _e(‘something to translate’) everything is fine, but calling directly topic_time() doesnt translate anything.
How do I wrap topic_time() into _e() ? or… what is the correct way to translate time?
For me, this is why I’d love to see a BBpress version that came with “Everything in it out of the box”, and another version that functioned identically, but was a PLUG IN for WPMU. Oh, I’d like to see WP have MU support in the core, so that one could just “tick a box” and it would be in.
In other words, I’m looking for a COMPLETE social forum portal that one can just plug in and it works.
As far as I can tell, only SMF + various Portal plug ins do that. I haven’t made a choice yet, because I love wordpress.. and the *look* here of BBpress forums is interesting. I’m just not a skilled enough hacker to get all the bits to fit together properly, and threads like this only confirm the confusion to non-hard-core developers, who have all probably gone with Expression Engine anyway.
Thank you very much for your response. I would be integrating (I assume that’s what I’d do if I wanted to have WP users be able to use the same login as the blog users) the two.
Sounds rather messy.
I found the offending code that I added in my BBconfig file in order to pull the same header as the rest of the site.
here’s the offending code:
if (file_exists(‘../wp-blog-header.php’))
require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);
else
if (file_exists(‘../../wp-blog-header.php’))
require_once(‘../../wp-blog-header.php’);
which is place at the end like so:
/**
* bbPress Database Table prefix.
*
* You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique
* prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
*/
$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;
/**
* bbPress Localized Language, defaults to English.
*
* Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the chosen
* language must be installed to a directory called “my-languages” in the root
* directory of bbPress. For example, install de.mo to “my-languages” and set
* BB_LANG to ‘de’ to enable German language support.
*/
define( ‘BB_LANG’, ” );
$bb->WP_BB = true;
if (file_exists(‘../wp-blog-header.php’))
require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);
else
if (file_exists(‘../../wp-blog-header.php’))
require_once(‘../../wp-blog-header.php’);
?>
anything glaringly wrong with this?
If you don’t integrate the users database then bbPress will only be installed in it’s own section of the database, or it could have an entirely separate database so if you do it that way then it’s just a matter of deleting the bbPress specific bits.
If you integrate the user tables then the two sets of users will be merged and removing the bbPress added users could be quite time consuming if you have many forum users. I assume (not 100% sure here) that the only way to remove them would be to manually remove them or to rebuild the WP ones from scratch.
Wish I could help – I don’t know how IIRF ISAPI stuff work!
If you want to use bbPress and don’t know much about rewrites, your best best is probably to switch to an Apache server. Then everything should “just work”! (At least, that’s the hope.)
I run a WP install and would like to try bbpress. But my question is, after trying it, should I decide to uninstall it, doe sit leave behind much debris in the WP database? Or does it use it’s own database or set of tables without disturbing the WP database?
bbPress does use cookies. Go to Tools -> Options -> Privacy and click on ‘Remove individual cookies’
In there, search for your URL.
correction: trying to view cookies. bbpress doesn’t even use cookies.
anyone know how to change the label on the tab ‘Avatar’ to something like ‘Picture’ without screwing up the entire plugin? A simple change of that word screws up the plugin.
p /p br br/ tags showing up in bbpress as well as buddypress groups
integrated everything well,but this is a bug how can i fix it
Hi Markus,
Thanks for the tips. I followed the steps outlined in the above string, and I tried new cookies, but it’s still not working. I’ve pasted this code in the bb-config.php $bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true; too and it’s still not working. Any more ideas? I appreciate the help.
i’ve always had 1.0, but it is still creating read only directories in ftp! and i can’t delete or modify them in ftp with the domain name account!
I use Buddypress+bbpress and in the topic or post view I want to make a link from a post author in BbPress forums to the /members/ area in Buddypress.
Basically I just need to write a static url :
http://www.homepage.com/members/<?php get nice_username from post author ?>
How I can echo the post author’s nice_username? I need the “nice_username” or else, with post_author_name the link gets broken.
Please help me!
What about queries, php etc.
