Hi
Just uploaded the bbpress files to a folder I called /forum
went to mysite/forum/index.php and got this odd error report:
Secure Connection Failed
‘mysite.co.uk’ uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is only valid for web34.secure-secure.co.uk
(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)
Im lost here – any ideas?
Thanks
I think the script is one of those rare ones that works only with 1.0.
There’s no official support for permanent deletion of posts, but it’s a fairly often requested feature:
http://www.google.com/search?q=permanently+delete+post+site%3Abbpress.org
The only clean solution for now is to do it through phpMyAdmin?
Thanks for help. I’m using bbpress 0.9.0.2 any idea if this script works with that? I guess I can always do a backup and try it anyways.
There’s no official support for this… but someone wrote a script a while ago to unofficially pull this off for 1.0:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permanently-deleting-topocs-and-posts
I haven’t tested it though and it hasn’t been packaged as a plugin. If you try it out, definitely backup your database first – and test carefully!
It looks like my bb_posts table is growing out of control in size. As I was browsing I noticed most of the posts in it are spam/bozo/deleted posts that do not actually even show up on the forum. It looks like bbpress is really good at moderating spam and blocking bozo posts, but how do I delete all those posts from my bb_posts table?
You probably need to look into this wordpress file wp-includescapabilities.php and mimic that function in bbPress or alternatively load WP environment and use it. I would recommend avoiding the latter option due to performance issues.
Hope that helps!

I have successfully integrated them without a plugin as per my tutorial in the 2nd post.
i have wp 2.8 and bbP 1.0 and without cookie integration plugin on wordpress i couldn’t access to bb-admin after the login in wordpress…if you use only the bb press login it’s not necessary, but if you use login on wordpress, like me, it’s necessary
user category, for example contributor, administrator, author….bbpress have the corrispective, but i’d create a new user category in wordpress
Now bbPress 1.0.1 is available for download in Italian at: http://www.wordpressmu-it.it/downloads/
There are 2 package, the only localization files and the full package with the bbPress files and the localization files.
Ora bbPress 1.0.1 e’ disponibile al download in Italiano su: http://www.wordpressmu-it.it/downloads/
Ci sono 2 pacchetti, solo i file di localizzazione e il pacchetto completo con i files di bbPress ed i files per la traduzione.
No plugin is needed for integrating WP2.8 with bbP1.0 and no need of playing with COOKIES setting too if you have bbP in a sub-directory.
no, i’m not loading bbpress on a wordpress page…i’ve created an identical theme for bbpress
have you intasllaed the plugin in wordpress for cookie integration ? And after this, have you modify the wp-config.php in the wordpress root folder with the COOKIE_DOMAIN and COOKIEPATH ?
I didn’t get it. Are you loading bbPress on a WordPress page? In any case, WP functions can be accessed on WP pages. Please elaborate.
I didn’t get it. If you are not using the same databases, then how come the users are being shared? Are you sure on this?
Ashfame,
Thanks for replying. Here’s some more details that might resolve the problem after reading your tutorial.
I have WordPress and bbPress installed on separate databases. I know bbPress is connecting to the WP user tables because when I add a user I see it added on the bbPress side.
I did not change the default table prefixs for WordPress or bbPress per your tutorial.
On the bbPress WordPress Integration page I have all the fields filled out except the following:
– secure auth cookie salt
– WP MU Primary blog ID
– User database “user” table
– User database “user meta” table
Let me know if think the above items maybe the cause. Thanks.
yes, but i’m not using wp-blog-header…i have integrated bbpress in the layout without using the WP environment loaded
sorry but my english is very bad
can anybody please help me..
Do you know i could check in bbpress if a user is in a specific wordpress user category ? I must create a new user category in wordpress, and i’d use this in bbpress.
for example
if user_id in category=example_category
make this…
else
I integrated my site the other day. Here’s a few things that helped me when developing my bbPress theme.
1. Point its CSS to the corresponding WP themes CSS so that there’s a common stylesheet between them. For example: http://mysite.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/style.css
2. Do the same thing with images. For example in your bbPress theme use http://mysite.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/image/image.jpg
3. As mentioned above you will need to duplicate content from WP theme. I find that if I cram everything before the forum content into header.php and everything after into footer.php it clears up the rest of the bbPress templates for me to modify as I wish.
Hope this helps.
You can see what I did for my site here: http://tiptaptip.com and http://tiptaptip.com/forum
Count me among those users who would very much appreciate having the automatic upgrade functionality built into bbPress – either as a plugin or as core.
(And, I’m loving bbPress 1.0.x!)
i’ve solved partially this problem moving bbpress in a subdomain
I’m “pressing” on, if only for the bbPress (and MediaWiki) knowledge I’ll gain. I’ve been starting with the information here.
Its always hard to track what you missed as compared to a fresh procedure. If you are doing fresh installations of both then I would want you to take a look at my tutorial that I wrote yesterday : http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/07/integrate-bbpress-10-with-wordpress-28/
and if they already hold data, then we will try to trace the cause and get it fixed.
Hope that helps!
