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.
I’ve now made the identical Topic Voices functionality available for bbPress 0.9
http://bbshowcase.org/plugins/topic-voices.zip
Any changes you make to your templates to use it will remain compatible when upgrading to 1.0, users will only have to deactivate the plugin after upgrading.
(this is also a demonstration of how Voices should have been a plugin rather than in the core)
ashfame’s guide is pretty clear on the steps. For me, the key was going to http://YOURSITE/wp-admin/options, grabbing the AUTH keys there, then pasting them in the correlating section of the bbPress config.php file in the install. Once they both had the exact same cookie codes in their config files, it worked like a charm.
I have the same problem… any solutions?
Thank you so much…I’m going to try to reinstall it again.
Integration works! (Mostly)
However, if I log in via BBPress, and try to log-out via WP, it will not let me, I must go to BBPress to logout.
Every other combination of log-in, log-out works (I think) except for this one.
In WP — Out BBP : Yes
In WP — Out WP : Yes
In BBP — Out WP : No
In BBP — Out BBP : Yes
Any thoughts?
WPMU 2.8.1 (in subdirectory, using sub-sub- directories for blogs ( example.com/blogs/blog1 )
BBPress 1.0.1 (in subdomain: bbpress.example.com )
@Ashfame – You keep insisting that no plugin is needed – however, I could not make the integration work until I installed the plugin –
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/
I have WP installed in a subdirectory, and BBPress installed in a sub-domain. The plugin helped me to discover how to a) make the cookies register in the same root domain, and b) define the cookie hash that was missing.
In short, although it may not be needed – it is useful. In my humble opinion.
Hi all,
I have bbpress 1.01 and inove theme…
The password reset or forget password link is not showing anywhere..
( http://telecomdiary.com/Telecom_Forums/ ) … please help.
Hi all,
I have bbpress 1.01 and successfully running. But, it is the same old problem I am facing.
New users are not recieving mails while they register at forums. Although, I have instant-password plugin, mails need to send. Some one please help me..
I hosted my site ( http://www.telecomdiary.com/Telecom_Forums/ ) at remote server and it is IIS7 Plus….
Why I need to login again if I visit the Extend Section – http://bbpress.org/plugins/ even if I am logged in on forums? Isn’t there should be a synchronization?
You can make a view to do that quite easily.
In fact there is already such a view in “My Views” plugin.
Ignore the completely proprietary query system (BB_Query) that the bbpress api uses, it’s incomplete, brain damaging and 100% non-portable to any other system. Just use real mysql queries instead (that goes for WP_Query as well, I have no idea what they were thinking).
Just for “fun” I’ve tallied the bbPress release history so far:
