nevermind. I’ve fixed it.

Can't simultaneously be logged in on both WP and forum

Hope this would help you as well.

I fixed it.

It wasn’t simple, and honestly, I really hope that the integration with WP was a basic feature, not an option. Otherwise, it’s the best forum for WP-enabled website so far, and I’m so glad that I installed it.

The following steps are what I did, and might have unnecessary steps, but whatever made it work, made it work. I’ll also assume that you have followed the integration steps that involves matching keys of config files. I would also assume that you have used the correct keymakers for the bbPress version.

bbPress 0.9: https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.0/

bbPress 1.0: https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/

1. Install the “bbPress Integration” plugin for WP. Set up everything accordingly until you see the “Manual Cookie Settings”. It told me to add “define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );” on wp-config.php, but it didn’t work. I had to remove / for the path because I read it somewhere that if you add /, it’ll add an extra /, making it // for the cookie path with is invalid. So I added “define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ” );” instead, above the “AUTH_KEY” section in wp-config.php.

2. I’ve added the following lines above the ?> part in the end of the bb-config.php :

$bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;

$bb->cookiepath = ”;

$bb->sitecookiepath = ”;

This tip can be found in other tutorials, but notice that again, I took out / for the path.

3. In WP Settings -> Writing, I’ve enabled XML-RPC.

4. In bbPress Settings -> Writing, I’ve enable XML-RPC.

5. I’ve cleared the cookies of the browsers (IE and FF).

Everything should work as it is. At least it did for me.

Now I can simultaneously be logged in for WP and bbPress without any problems.

I really hope that one day, either from bbPress settings or a one simple plugin would resolve the problems that some of us had.

Hi stereostokey.

I’m having the same problem.

Did you manage to fix the problem? If you did, could you let me know how you fixed it?

Thanks.

I have done all the Buddypress integration and login is great and my buddypress groups can post, etc. But I have found no integration (widgets or whatever) to show bbPress on WordPress sidebars and most importantly I have no idea how to get a link button integrated into WordPress MU (my other addins put one there on the top menu for me.

If I can avoid another night hacking the templates it wold be great since the integration already took 2 days!

Thanks

Dukessa: unfortunately, _e() (and __()) attempts to translate the string it is given – which means that if you try to call “_e(topic_time())”, it will be interpreted as “_e(“August 12, 2009″)” (or whatever topic_time() outputs). The solution is to put translation functions inside the topic_time() function. Note however, that that would indeed translate “August” into “Augusti”, but it won’t fix the order (it’ll still go “month day, year”) nor the capitalization (in Swedish, months are spelled with lowercase first letter unless in the beginning of a sentence). In WordPress, the order problem is solved by an admin setting for the date format, but the capitalization issue remains.

I hope that explains it. If I have the time some day, I’ll try to submit a patch for it to be fixed in the next version.

Hi.

First of all, thank you for the great forum.

I’ve used the other forums but I think bbPress is the best way to integrate with WP.

The integration worked fine. I can use my WP account to login and post on the forum.

But I can’t login on both WP and forum simultaneously.

If I logged into the WP, then visit the forum, WP automatically signs me out. Same thing happens vice versa.

Is there a way to be logged in on both WP and forum simultaneously?

Thank you for your help.

NOTE: I’ve just noticed that I can switch fine between WP admin page and the forum. But somehow I cannot post on WP for comments unless if I log in, but then forum automatically signs me out as soon as I log in with WP comment area.

Is it possible to convert bbPress users database to WordPress?

[johnhiler]

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!

It is now released:

I am integrating bbPress 1.0 with my WP 2.8 site. I want to use the same header and navigation in bbPress as I have on the blog, so if I add more pages the bbPress navigation will be automatically updated.

I included wp-blog-header.php in the bbPress setup and customized the bbPress header.php in the theme folder, and it all looks and works great – except that none of the WP plugins are being called into the header. For instance I have a WP plugin that hides some pages in the menu, but in the bbPress header the pages are showing again.

Is there something else I need to do when using wp-blog-header.php to make it use the plugin functionality?

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 released bbPress 1.0 in Finnish.

Download .po: http://hpguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/fi.po

Enjoy.

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?

[kirpiit]

Yes, it seems that also here RSS do not work anymore…

https://bbpress.org/forums/rss/topic/swedish-translation-completed-bbpress-10-rc-3

Any idea about what is wrong?

[mazzhe]

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?

[eclipsenow]

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.

[slobizman]

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.

[tiny-1]

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?

[Ryan Hellyer]

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.

[johnhiler]

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.)

[slobizman]

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.
