I have the same problem. I have integrated them and i can use wordpress users to login, but if i logon to wordpress i’m not loged into bbpress 
Wp –> 2.8
bbpress –> 1.0.1
Great thanks. I think I’ll go ahead with the upgrade and post my experience here to help others.
Thanks again!
What versions of bbPress and WordPress did you install?
You can make a directory called my-plugins (and might as well make my-templates at the same time) and then upload them with your FTP program. Some FTP programs will allow you to create a new directory on the remote host by right clicking, as well. If you have shell access to the host, you can make directories there as well (but I suspect you don’t based on your questions.) And, 1.0 comes with those directories by default now.
In any case, glad you got it sorted. These instructions are for anyone else who might need help.
I sure hope you have really good backups because you are just begging to have your entire database corrupted by forcing my plugins to work with 1.0
see this part:
Beginning upgrade…
Tags copied to taxonomy tables: bb_upgrade_1080
Display names populated: bb_upgrade_1090
Index forum_stickies dropped: bb_upgrade_1100
>>> Done
That’s where bbPress is trashing all your current data by copying over the old data from your 0.9 tables, like the topicmeta and old tag tables, back into bb_meta.
I’m running 1.0.2 BuddyPress with WPMU 2.8.1 and bbPress 1.0.1 without issues but if you’re having problems setting up shared logins see this ticket (https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1136). That issue had me stuck for hours but leaving the blogid for WPMU blank in bbPress fixed my problems instantly, so hopefully that’ll help you get everything setup.
deanes02, check out https://buddypress.org/forums – Lots of people have successfully integrated WPMU, BuddyPress and bbPress since 1.0.1. Just watch out for WPMU 2.8.1 and it’s weirdness.
Hi, I have been waiting for this release of bbPress so that I can get forums working in BuddyPress. I am delighted to see it released. Can someone please tell me if this version of bbPress will get forums working in BuddyPress?
Also, I was having trouble with password sharing between WPMU and bbPress. Does the cookie integration now work in bbPress v1.0.1?
Thanks!
Hi,
I’ve been working on integrating bbPress with a website that already has its own user database and login system. I already set it up to keep the bbPress database and the site database synchronised, so that registering as a site user will simulate registration in bbPress. The last step is to make bbPress recognize my site’s cookies, which I’m trying to do through a plugin.
I’ve been trying to figure out which functions I need to rewrite in order to make this possible. I know there are a handful of functions in functions.bb-pluggable.php which I can replace in my plugin, but I’m not clear on how they connect with everything else in bbPress.
Basically, I have a function that determines whether a user is currently logged in, and what that user’s ID number is. I just can’t figure out where to put the function. (The site uses its own login form, so I don’t need to worry about bbPress’ login process.)
I found a few old posts where people were trying to do similar things, but no clear answers. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Dan
I have done all the steps provided to integrate WP and bbPress, but when I login to WP, I am logged out of bbPress and vice-versa. Why is this happening?
Thanks a lot guys.
@ Chris…i know how to add new forums etc. what i’m trying to figure out is how to add a new directory to the plugins to enable ads. i’ve downloaded a plugin and the read me file says:
“Unpack the zip to your /my-plugins/ directory”. WHERE IS THAT?
“Copy and paste this: <?php bbad_ad_block(); ?> as the first line of post.php (before <div class="threadauthor">) in whichever theme you are using. I.e. yoursite.com/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/post.php.”
i’m confused. please help.
thanks.
There was mention of a screencast to show how if a user signs into your forum, he/she would also be logged into your website. (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/simple-question-about-logging-in) Has this screencast been made? If so… Where can I find it?
As of yesterday, I was using the following plugins:
Allow Images 0.7.1
BBCode Buttons Toolbar 0.0.9
BBcode Lite 1.0.3
bbPress Smilies 0.0.8
Human Test for bbPress 0.9.2
Members Online 0.0.1
Topics Per Page 0.0.5
Unread Posts 0.9.3
Autoloaded:
Hidden Forums 0.0.9
Quote (mod by ck) 0.2mod
Year Long Cookes – Remember Me 0.0.2
I didn’t have a problem for days. This morning, I uploaded and activated the following:
bbPress Signatures 0.20
New User Notification Email 0.0.2
Hidden Forums Tag Filter 0.0.6
Just a few minutes ago, I tried to post to the forum, but I was logged off after hitting “Send Post” and my post didn’t make it. I then went to the admin panel and had the dreaded “Database Upgrade” message again. After upgrading, I checked my plugins. They were all fine, except Members Online,
Topics Per Page and Unread Posts were deactivated.
My guess is that there’s a problem with New User Notification Email.
Thoughts?
You’ll need to add this to your bb-config.php file, to share logins:
define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1);
Should be fine, I was running that pair up until yesterday 
I have an installation of bbPress 0.9.0.5 and WPMU 2.7.1. They are integrated – bbPress is using the user tables in the WPMU database and cookies are shared.
Is there anything special I need to do when upgrading the bbPress side from 0.9.0.5 to 1.0.1? Or do I just run the bbPress upgrade installer as normal?
If it matters, I am also using the BuddyPress plugins on the WPMU installation.
Thanks for any advice.
Yes if you install freshly baked cookies on 0.9
Is it possible to synchronize a 1.0 bbPress install with a 0.9 one? I’m guessing no…
The forums side of bbpress.org is running 1.0, upgraded last week.
The extend side is still running 8.3/9.0.
The two cookie systems are not compatible, hence the login de-sync.
It only went out of sync last week.
Eventually they will update the extend side.
I suspect it has custom hacks which is why it can’t be done quickly.
I don’t have to log in to two places (forums and extend). The only place I need to log in again is at trac.bbpress.org
Making themes (a little imcomplete, but if you’ve done themeing for other CMS, WP included, you’ll pick it up in a snap).
You can just edit your theme to have ads where you want them. There are some plugins, but there aren’t widgets etc in bbPress (yet?) so you don’t have as granular control.
You should spend some time looking through the bbPress plugin directory:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/
You can also search this forum for things like “adsense” and you will find people who’ve already done what you’re looking to do.
To add a new directory, called a “forum” in bbPress, you log in as keymaster (the admin user you set up at the beginning), click the Admin link, then select “Forums” from the admin panel. That’s where you add new forums. If you want them to act like directories, tick the box that says “Category” and it will become a container to hold other forums and won’t accept posts of its own.
Spend some time playing with the software.
i have a website (not a WP), my own domain and i’m interested in starting a forum using open sources like BB. my hosting company supplies BB’s forum as an option and i’ve already installed it. however, i don’t know how to insert ads in the forum — both google ads and others from my advertisers. i have BB version 1.0 and the only plugins that come with that are akismet, bozo users and hello louie. i don’t know where or how to start a new directory in BB to even add one for advertising and other features like theme etc. Please help if you have can…i’ll greatly appreciate it.
