Back in the day, I always saw it as bbPress vs Vanilla.

Vanilla 2.0 is out, as is bbPress 1.0. Vanilla seems to be going in really good direction right now and a lot of excitement is happening.

Vanilla – Project Page

They now offer a hosted service, similar to WP.com

Vanilla – Hosted Service

They also have something like 450+ plug-ins / add-ons

Vanilla – Plugin/Add-on’s

As such, how does Vanilla 2.0 now compare to bbPress 1.0? (please, only compare Vanilla 2.0 to bbPress 1.0 – if you haven’t used either product lately, this won’t be a fair comparison)

Some bug fixes and additional features have been added to 0.9 branch and 1.0 trunk

For those that know how to download them off svn/trac and read the changes on trac, we’d appreciate some testing before a wide release tomorrow.

http://trac.bbpress.org/timeline

Notable on the 0.9 are my fast recount functions that will really help large sites, be sure to backup your db “just in case”.

Make sure you update the settings in the bbPress Integration plugin as well and then copy the new code it produces into wp-config.php

I use _ck_’s Hidden Forums plugin to do what you ask:

Hi,

I had the exact same problem and found a solution after investigations:

Bbpress knows it is integrated to wordpress so it set both its own cookies and the WP cookies. But on the other side, WP does not know bbpress is integrated so it only set its own cookies and forget to set BBpress cookies as well.

How to fix it will you ask…

Well, install this plugin in WP:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/

And voilà ! Just logout and re-login after the plugin installation to make it work.

tha code snippet by clarko seems to do the trick even with bbpress 1.0.1 and wpmu 2.8.4

[costyn1]

Yes. It’s a mistake. I need a disclaimer for bbpress.

[gerikg]

If you’re using WPMU 2.8+ take out

define( ‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 1 );

[gerikg]

When I do the:

// Include WordPress functionality

$currDir = dirname(getcwd());

// Make sure this isn’t install or admin (go up if it is)

if(!file_exists(“$currDir/wp-blog-header.php”))

$currDir = dirname($currDir);

if(!file_exists(“$currDir/wp-blog-header.php”))

die(“Cannot find WordPress integration files.”);

require_once(“$currDir/wp-blog-header.php”);

my forum disappears…. This goes into the bb-config.php file right?

[Archie Webmaker]

Sorry, Everything is running fine. “the page not found” was simply because of the wordpress custom code in the title. I just type in title name and it run fine.

[gerikg]

THANK YOU, i was going insane trying to wait for someone to reply!

[Archie Webmaker]

Mine show show up the header and the footer but the page is displayed on the browser bar as “Page not found” and the page screen is darkened ( not as on my homepage http://nagapress.com) You will see what i am talking about when you see my page- http://nagapress.com/community/

I followed this tutorial http://labs.b5media.com/

[gerikg]

How did you start?

if (file_exists(‘../wp-blog-header.php’))

require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);

didn’t work for me.

[gerikg]

I’m trying to integrate the themes together, like I did before but now the same things I used to do doesn’t work.

I used

if (file_exists(‘../wp-blog-header.php’))

require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);

in bb-config.php

but when I insert that the frontpage disappears (blank screen).

Anyone run into this?

WPMU 2.8.3

BP 1.0.3

BB 1.0.2

SQL 5

[hpguru]

This is bbPress Support Forum, not phpBB Support Forum.

[gerikg]

Any custom template I put in my-templates folder does not work anymore.

I have

WordpressMU 2.8.3

BuddyPress 1.0.3

BBpress 1.0.2

1and1 Hosting

MySQL 5

It seem it has a hard time finding the CSS and when you’re in the Admin the thumbnails do not show up.

Same here. Passwords do not work. Users need to reset them.

[_ck_]

If this appears in your front-page.php, then you have bbPress 1.0.x and you have a bug

<?php bb_latest_topics_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="nav">', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>

The same bug was in some rare cases of 0.9

and I programmed around it in topics-per-page

I doubt it will work properly on 1.0 but you can try installing the plugin, remove the above line and replace it with

<div class="nav"><?php front_page_pages(); ?></div>

Thanks

So did you see the tables created in the database?

I don’t know, but maybe it is because of the GoDaddy ads causing something weir.

I remember installing WordPress 2.6 in their free hosting once, and when I logged in to the admin page there was an infinite loop that didn’t let me do anything.

Do you have PHP4 or 5 set in your hosting account? (with PHP4 it doesn’t create the first forum, and that’s the reason why it doesn’t allow you to log in to the admin panel, but in that case, it show a page to upgrade bbPress, not to install it again, so I guess this is not your problem).

Was there any error shown in the log it appears at the end of the installation?

[mezinster]

Thanks. But it’s not exactly what i wanted to….

This plugin disables display_name edition capability, and display_name displaying too…

“user_login” displayed instead of “display_name”

could anyone help me to fix that plugin to achieve the goal ?

<?php

[dudenas]

No errors.

Everything seemed OK, except passwords didn`t work.

[chrishajer]

What happens when you access the register link in bbPress? Do you get an error, or it just doesn’t work? Is it different if you are logged in vs. not logged in?

[johnhiler]

Crackpixels – I had the same issue… but _ck_ just released a patch which resolved the problem for me!
