Hi all,
A little patience please. I’m trying to uninstall bb press to prepare for a fresh install to make the intigration with BuddyPress easier.
I’ve removed the bbpress folder. And now I’m ready to delete the database tables. I just need to know if I should delete ALL the tables with the “bb_” prefix, or if I should keep some in place.
I’ve read advice from a key master not to delete bb_meta and bb_posts.
I’m running WPMU 2.8.1 and the site is http://www.threesheetsnorthwest.com
Thanks for the help.
Hi all,
I followed all directions I have been able to find on the web but I still have a problem: logging in to bbPress logs me out of WordPress and vice versa. All settings and config files look ok.
The site is at http://www.stereostokey.com, and the forums are at http://www.stereostokey.com/forums
Any ideas? Could it have to do with the theme modifications I have made?
Cheers,
Tom

@biorm I solved my problem. Who knows if its the same as yours. What occurred in my case is bbPress for some reason changed the admin role to “none”. I was able to log in with a different admin account I’d previously established and change the admin privileges back to “Administration”. Unless you have another account on your wp installation with Admin privileges, I don’t know how to advise you. In any event, that’s the issue.
I’m having the same problem. WP and BB have their own directories… not commingling files.
Fixed at last…
I digged some database tables, and deleted the bb_integration row in wp_options, and some rows that was added later in bb_meta*.
I pray that WP+BP+bbPress integration would be much simpler 
Thank you for the info, it was very helpful!
@chrishajer – I checked my .htaccess file, and the permissions were incorrect, II tweaked that, and bbPress added the rewrite rules without issue.
@incirus – Yes, my forum is converted from phpBB as well, I don’t know why I didn’t think of that before. I checked a new topic, the pretty permalink worked just fine. I checked an old topic in the database, no slug. i added a slug and it worked great.
Unfortunately I have 875 topics that I would have to edit my hand… That’s too bad, one of the draws of migrating to bbPress are the useful permalinks.
Has anyone out there come up with a handy script to solve this problem? I’d imagine the code is already there, since bbPress already converts your topic title into a slug, it would just be a matter of having it process all of the old titles. But I think that’s a bit out of my league!
Hell, I’d settle for a way to use slugs from here in out, but fall back on the default permalinks if there is no slug, but I think that would be more complicated.
I have written a function I call bb_list_pages() and I’ve added it & some support code to a functions.php file in my bbPress theme’s folder. This does NOT work using the WordPress wp_list_pages() logic. Rather, it attempts to output the same results as that function. There are things that wp_list_pages() does that this function can’t do, but it works for my site. If folks are interested, I’ll post the functions.php file after I finish getting it debugged.
I just have one question. How can I determine what the current page’s URI is? I need this to highlight the page on the menu.
Thanks
Tony
Is it possible to use XML RPC to post directly into bbPres? It would be marvelous to be able to use Windows Live Writer for that!
With 1.0.1, the rewrite rules were added to the .htaccess for me. Check your .htaccess and see if the rules are already there. If not, maybe bbPress could not write to the file.
Did you install WordPress and bbPress in the same directory? You shouldn’t have any problem like this just from installing or integrating bbPress.
Has anything changed with with the steps for setting up Pretty Permalinks on bbPress 1.0.1?
I have tried the methods in the FAQ, without success, on two different webhosts (Media Temple & Bluehost).
Adding a .htaccess file with “Options +MultiViews” results in an error message when I try to load any page in the forum. When I try to visit “/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php”, it redirects to the permalink settings page, and I do not see any code being generated that I could add to my .htaccess file instead.
I have bbPress installed in a subdirectory with WordPress in the root directory. I have Pretty Permalinks functioning just fine in WordPress.
Have I missed anything obvious here?
I have used PHPBB and that is a pretty robust service. But I liked having something integrated. BBPress works okay for now.
I am looking for a plugin that will allow someone to share posts on my forum via social networking sites. WordPress has tons of them. Anyone found one for BBPress yet?
I don’t think it’s about wrong password. I guess the bbpress isn’t looking up the name in WP users table.
I am using bbpress 1.0 and wordpress 2.8.2. After the bbpress installation, I went back into wordpress and came to the site where all the pages were missing showing “Not Found. Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.”
When I try to login in to the site admin, “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
I can login to bbpress, but not to wordpress. Any ideas? I went into the mysql and data is still there.
I noticed that the keys (auth_key, salt_key) values in the bbpress dashboard aren’t matching WP ones, so I changed it according to wp_config. After that I was logged out of bbpress, and I have this “user doesn’t exist error” when I try to login. How can I fix this ?
(Before that I installed bbpress-integration plugin for WP because since upgrading my WP to 2.8.2 some users began complaining about getting logged out automatically. So I thought the plugin would fix it.)
I’m using bbpress alpha-6.
Note that cross-cookie does not work (yet) with bbPress 1.0
It will also not work with any other plugin that modifies cookies (ie. year long cookies)
There’s some useful tips here!

Definitely backup all your data before playing around… it should be pretty safe to have multiple installs use the same user table.
If you hit a snag, post and let us know and I’ll see if I can help. I integrated multiple bbpress installs of 0.9 not 1.0, but if it’s not too different maybe I can help. I’ve got almost 10 bbPress installs working together with a single users database, so there’s definitely a path!
johnhiler, you have been most helpful. How exactly would you recommend one do this?
Would one simply point each separate bbPress installation to the same MYSQL table during initial setup?
Is there any danger in one site overwriting another with this sort of setup?
All the Cross Cookie plugin does is automatically sign you into multiple domains with a single login.
If you just want to have all your bbPress installs share a single user table, you should be able to do that in any version of bbPress!
Not sure on the connection to wpmu…
Hello all – Thanks in advance for the help.
I’ve successfully installed bbPress 1.0.1 and have set up bbRatings. It seems to work fine when I use the template tags, but when I attempt to use
bb_get_user_rating(); to include a user’s rating in a reply – I get nothing. Is there anyone out there that has succeeded and who is willing to share their knowledge? I’m stuck.
Thanks!
Dang. So for bbPress 1.0+ you must go WPMU, huh?
Yes, it’s down, I’m setting up a new site.
But you can get it here… https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/ajaxed-quote/
OK, I’m working on integrating my WordPress & bbPress themes. I’m doing the work in the bbPress theme files.
What I did was I copied the style.css from my WordPress theme into the new bbPress theme directory. Now I’m working on the header.php file, figuring the best place to start would be at the top of every page.
The navigation bar from my WordPress theme uses a javascript file which is included in the scripts/ folder under the directory where the theme lives.
I’m calling bb_get_active_theme_directory() to get the directory name, but this is not returning anything. The Appearance page in the admin console for bbPress is using the theme I’m editing, and viewing the page source shows the wrong value for the script file name.
A couple of lines earlier in the header.php file, it calls bb_stylesheet_uri() & that returns the full URI of the stylesheet. I want everything that’s in there minus the “style.css”. How do I get it?
Tony
