I’m zero luck getting through this part. I went through the WordPress integration section, completed the steps, and it logged me out. Now it doesn’t recognize my admin account or any account for that matter.
I can’t imagine how screwed up this is.
BTW…using WP 2.8.1 and bbPress 1.0.2.
I did try that the second time around. Now I’m on a third time and getting this error:
There was a problem connecting to the WordPress user database you specified. Please check the settings, then try again.
Before I tried the third install, I deleted all old files both from my local and my server locations. I wiped out my bbPress database tables. So it’s a clean install. I’m getting my cookie information from my wp-config file downloaded from my server. I have checked the settings, BTW.
Ugggghhh!! : )
Okay I’ve deleted everything in the cache/cookie and also all those salts in phpMyAdmin and NOW I can access both admin panels again.
BUT I can’t get the integration working at all. As soon as I try to use the same salt on both it breaks them, making my admin account on bbPress just a plain member and preventing me from accessing the wp-admin panel altogether (NOTE: I dont mean unauthorized, I mean actually unable to login, it just refreshes).
bbPress should integrate nicely into whatever template the blogger is using. It should be that simple. Am I missing something???
bbPress integration is user integration, not full fledged theme integration. Even if you use Deep Integration methods, there will be a need for manual jiggery.
As for the login issues, double check your cookies and hashes between your wp-config and bb-config files. Clean out all of YOUR cookies and your browser cache and check again. SOmetimes, it’s just that simple.
Cookies and caches.
Flush ’em all. Manually delete if you have to.
If you’re able to tweak a regular template to a wordpress theme than is the next step to bbpress not so far.
I embedded both applications into my own site:
http://www.finalwebsites.com/forums/
http://www.finalwebsites.nl/blog/
my advice start with the header and footer!
surround anything with one div container, open that container in the header and close it inside the footer
I don’t think that’s been released yet hpguru?
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1149
Lack of ability to delete old posts is a long-standing issue. If you don’t have access to phpmyadmin, someone wrote a script which does it… but I can’t vouch for it as I’ve never used it:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permanently-deleting-topocs-and-posts
Before trying anything like this, make sure to backup all of your data!!!
I have followed the instruction for database/user integration, and it doesn’t work as it should. It recognizes the users’ information, but it doesn’t recognize if they logged in to the other. So I can log into my WordPress but still be logged out in bbPress. The reverse is true too.
Simple Press managed to get it right, but the interface is a bit bloated. I’m using WordPress 2.8.2.
bbPress should integrate nicely into whatever template the blogger is using. It should be that simple. Am I missing something???
I like how clean bbPress is, but it can’t be that tough to integrate, as I assume it’s produced in part by the same group.
You can delete posts from database in bbPress version 1.1. Read from trac.bbpress.org.
As far as I can tell, BBPress keeps “deleted” posts indefinitely, allowing the admin to restore them, if necessary. The only way I know of to permanently get rid of them is to manually remove them from the database.
Okay I have managed to fix the problem by using phpmyadmin and removing the salt keys etc in bb_meta. but the integration is still not working any ideas?
EDIT: I can’t login to WordPress at all now. It just reloads the login page after i submit it. Any ideas?
Hi. I have just set up a new WP / bbP website at http://www.paperviewzine.com/ and http://forum.paperviewzine.com/
I have just done the Integration but its broke the login system, when I login to my BB site it NO LONGER classes me as an admin, so i cant edit anything anymore. And when i login into the WP site it just refreshes the login page and does not login to the Wp-admin.
This has happened after changing those keys and stuff. I have had a look in the phpMyAdmin bit to see if i can fix the issues, BUT i cant find a table called bb_options like WP has? Where are the wordpress integration options for bbPress kept? and also how do I fix the problem I am having thanks.
Gee, I’m terribly sorry that the people volunteering their time for no compensation had their own lives to take care of. Take a deep breath. Okay? Good.
What version of bbPress is this? I’m assuming 1.0.2, but let’s be sure.
What version of PHP and SQL are on your server?
While we’re at it, Windows or *nix server?
Any blank lines before <?php or after the last ?> in your bb-config.php file?
Hello,
just upgraded to 1.02 and found some issues regarding the “unique email address” bug from before.
Btw. in older version that was a problem too 
update the email address in your profile:
If you change the email address into an existing one, it works fine but there is no message about (This is a tiny one)
Register process
I was busy to find some better way to add the recaptcha to the register form and noticed that the login form field is only tested if the email field is already filled. That worked better in version 0.9
everything else looks fine
I can’t use this forum if someone doesn’t help me with this problem. And I really want to use it because I like the concept of BBpress. I’ve been searching for the simplest ever forum, and this was it.
Thanks John, you’re right I should upgrade bbPress and see how that works.
No, I have not used bozo at on this particular forum.
Hello,
I use RPX, the easiest way is to redirect (a http refer in first line in register.php) to WP login.
By the way RPX is a very cool and polished solution for all weblogs that doesn’t want to manage user base.
It supports OpenID and the major so called “social” systems
Luc
Hi!
There are many posts about conversion from phpbb to bbpress.
however it seems the process is now more complicated??
Is there any developer who could be hired to do this conversion for our site? we have over 15,000 posts,
so would not like to loose them..
Thanks
Sam mentioned that 1.0.2 fixed some Akismet/spam stuff… maybe worth upgrading to see if that addresses it?
https://bbpress.org/blog/2009/07/bbpress-102-bbpress-0906-legacy-version-released/
If that doesn’t do it, do you have the bozo plugin installed now (or did you use it in the past)? That can cause weird problems…
I am getting some false positives with Akismet on an install of bbPress 1.0.1.
I’m ok with a few legit posts getting marked as spam as long as real spam is getting through. But for some reason I can’t get the posts to show up.
I did a search for spam, found several good posts marked a spam. I selected not spam, and they are no longer listed as spam. I did a recount, optimized my database, the posts are still MIA.
They show up as the latest topic, and when I am logged in, it will say “(60 posts +2 more)”, and when I click “+2 more”, the posts show up.
I even uninstalled Akismet, and checked the posts in the database to make sure there weren’t marked differently, but they are identical to the other posts.
Anyone run into this problem before?
Looks good.
I’m delighted to know that people are giving their time to work on new versions. I like BBPress and want it to continue.
hey, would really appreciate some help on this one so that I can promote (link back) to bbpress.org
For some reason I am getting errors when I try to install a custom theme. I took a default theme and copied it into the my-templates directory and it seems all permissions stuck as the default but I am getting an UNstyled site (CSS path is correct) and even the Screenshot sin’t displaying (just a blank image) in the Admin area.
See below (but permissions *are* all correct):
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /wp/bbpress/my-templates/mythemetest/screenshot.png on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
