Hi ya’ll I had something so weird happen that I need help. Using simplescripts,, I installed bbpress on my blog @ http://www.thewordonthewordoffaithblog.com/forum

This is what happens when I try to log in,,, it does not login and it adds my address to the URL. Like this http://www.thewordonthewordoffaithblog.com/forum/16022%20spinaker/bb-login.php

I don’t know how the hell that happened. I did get to login once and just browsed around. I don’t think I changed anything that should have made it add my address. Which I have no idea how that happened as I only entered my address when I first signed up for my hosting account.

I was just testing the install at this site,,, I am starting a wpMU/buddypress/bbpress site and I have a developer that is going to do the installs for me. When I asked about the bbpress install he said,,,,,

“If you don’t mind, please don’t install bbpress, as it’s a bit hard to configure properly; i had one install that required 1 full day of php-in to make the compatibility and integration, as the two versions were not fully compatible.”

He quoted me a price for the wpMU/buddypress install and I told him I was going to do the bbpress install myself,,,,,, because I had read in this forum and in other places that as soon as WP2.8 come out that the install/integration should be pretty seamless. Plus I had found simple scripts and thought,,, why should I pay him if I can auto-install and it go smooth,,, well as you see it did not.

I have seen several videos that show more than one way to do a manual install,, It seems the install goes easily for some and not for others.

SO should the install/integration go smooth now that I am running WP2.8?

AND does the integration plugin that I seen around here work well?

I know this info is around here somewhere to be found,,, if I dig again. I am just stressed from over a weeks research,, and suffering from information overload,,,can ya’ll help?

Any information would to help me get this installed would be great,, AND if anyone could explain to me how the heck it adds my address to the url,,, I would really appreciate that,,, cause either I am NUTZZZZZ,,, or my computer is possessed. LOL

Thanks ya’ll, damon

Thanks for the themes

The links to your demo’s don’t seem to be working though

Hey Michael – I struggled with something similar, but then I found a plugin by ck which enabled this… along with some suggested template tweaks which allow you to hide the posting link if you’re not allowed to post:

Not sure if that touches on what you were asking about… but thought I’d share the link in case it was helpful!

SPAM

It’d probably be useful to have a section on registration and post spam, along with the various techniques to fight it:

PERMALINKS

Some general stuff on htaccess and pretty permalinks (and how support for different approaches to permalinks vary across hosts):

VERSION DIFFERENCES

It’d also be helpful to have a summary table showing major differences between the different versions, especially for people using plugins and unsure if an upgrade will break their plugins.

For example, version 1.0 uses BackPress plus it uses WordPress’ latest taxonomy stuff. Plus it has a new approach to meta data. So if an 0.9 compatible plugin depends on any of this stuff, it will probably break in 1.0 unless the plugin’s been specifically updated for the latest version.

Most 0.9 themes will work in 1.0 – they just may not have all the latest bells and whistles.

[Sam Bauers]

Hmmm, that’s lame. Looks like it isn’t the latest bbPress though.

[Sam Bauers]

I really must release the new version of the bbPress Integration plugin… I’ll do some testing against WPMU now.

[Sam Bauers]

1.0 RC3 is still slower than 0.9

And will probably remain that way due to the increased demands of the WP_Taxonomy structure.

[Sam Bauers]

It’s totally possible. I think you are trying to use bbPress 1.0-RC-2. Try the newer 1.0-RC-3 instead, this problem is fixed there.

[Sam Bauers]

Then add one. It’ll get included automatically by bbPress.

[massbase]

@Fanny

rather, ask, how great is the difference between RC3 and RC2? is it enough for there to be any incompatibility issues…? if the difference is small, than most RC2 plugins should work with RC3.

in which you might want to look at this thread: –

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/list-of-plugins-that-work-on-rc1

otherwise… add to the list of tested RC3 plugins by contributing to this list…

RC3 Compatible :-

– BB-Reputations

– BB Code Lite

– Members Online

– BB-Signatures

– BBPM

@ Ipstenu,

Have 2 different sites running BBPress and cannot delete tags under either.

Both tell me “The tag was not removed. You cannot remove a tag from a closed topic.”

Something is not right.

[Sam Bauers]

@frooyo

There has been caching via the WP_Object_Cache methods for a while in 1.0 – what I did was a review of bbPress’ most commonly used areas to optimise its usage.

There were a few places where perfectly good cached objects were being ignored and the required data was being retrieved from the database instead.

There were also a couple of places where multiple MySQL queries were being used when one query was possible. For example when fetching multiple user objects via BP_Users->get_user() we were looping through an array of requested user_ids and doing a query on the database for each user. Now this is all bundled into one query (with the meta for these users still all fetched in a single separate query).

I knew this was a problem before, but I hadn’t realised quite how deep the rabbit hole was until I started crawling into it.

@alternateroute

Although things look a little different now. The premise of integration and the instructions remain the same with one small variation. If you are integrating with WordPress < 2.8 then you need to make an additional setting in bbPress to get cookies to be compatible.

[frooyo]

@_ck_

Like massbase said, the blog announcement from Sam says:

>>”Some new issues came up around WordPress integration, caching and SQL query performance which were simply too important to leave out of the final 1.0 release.”

That seems to indicate to me that Sam did add in some type of caching mechanism into bbPress 1.0

bbPress 1.0 Release Candidate 3

Did I misinterpret what Sam wrote?

[wire42]

OK, great. Thanks for looking into that. It almost seems that I’ve come at the wrong time, but I can’t wait to dive in.

[infected]

Hi!

Will these blank themes compatible to bbpress 1.0? Or will there be new releases in future?

[Arturo]

see the following 3d:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/just-one-more-release-candidate-10-rc-3

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-integration-problem-wp28-bb-10-rc-2

to make the integration work, change the cookie key, in wp-config and bb-config, in wp-config insert :

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘www.site.com’);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

in bb-config:

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘www.site.com’;

with this code i have the integration fixed.

It’s not increased caching, it’s just reducing queries closer to what 0.9 does.

1.0 RC3 is still slower than 0.9

I think I found a bug with the third RC of bbPress 1.0 and WordPress 2.8, I checked around the forums and in Trac and didn’t see this specific issue mentioned elsewhere.

I have WordPress installed in a subdirectory, with bbPress installed below that.

WordPress: http://www.mydomain.com/beta/

bbPress: http://www.mydomain.com/beta/forums

So aside from having WordPress installed in a subdirectory for testing purposes, there is nothing out of the ordinary about my install. I don’t have WordPress set up to run in the root from the subdirectory or anything, it’s totally standard.

The issue is that when I am logged in through WordPress, I am unable to access the backend of WordPress. Any attempt to access the Dashboard or any other page on the admin area is redirected to the login page of WordPress, even though I am already logged in.

I am able to access the admin area of bbPress, but I am unable to logout from either WordPress or bbPress.

When I login through bbPress, I am able to access the backend of both WordPress and bbPress. I am able to logout from bbPress, but not WordPress.

I have followed along with Sam’s basic integration screencast a few times now, I believe I am installing everything correctly, and the results are consistent.

I have a live install of WordPress running in the root of this particular domain, so I am unable to do a test install in the root, but I have a feeling that it would run fine there and that this issue is the result of installing from a subdirectory.

The only difference that I can see between the screencast and what I am seeing on my end is the manual cookie settings code that bbPress asks you to add to wp-config.php at the end. In the screencast, bbPress lists this code:

define('COOKIEPATH', '/');

But in my install, bbPress lists this code:

define('COOKIEHASH', 'e49cd3ef5873cd2d82bbc6a99b41ebfa');

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.www.mydomain.com');

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/beta/wp-admin');

define('COOKIEPATH', '/beta/');

When I delete those three extra line from my wp-config.php file, leaving only the fourth line, the issue is resolved and I am able to login in and out from either WordPress or bbPress, and access both admin areas.

Has anyone else encountered a problem like this? Am I skipping a step, or is one of the paths that bbPress giving incorrect?

[massbase]

install the new RC3, which is said to have increased caching or whatever… do some testing.

[_ck_]

Doesn’t the timezone support require php 5?

If so, probably should be mentioned since half of bbPress sites are still on php 4.

[Clicknathan]

When searching through the forums at BikePGH.org, I noticed that the Most Recent results aren’t in chronological order, which I assume they should be as they’re time-based, correct?

For example, a search for testing brings up a post from 2006 at the top of the list, then the actual most recent post from 2009, and variously down the line. Click here to see that result.

Has anyone ever experienced this? Any idea what might be happening?

Now you know who has lost admin access

I tried integrating WordPress 2.8 with bbPress 0.9.0.5 today but I found out that it can’t be done as per my tutorial because WP 2.8 has added one more function by which they change how they handle login so “Freshly baked cookies” plugin is broken for WP 2.8 at the moment. I would suggest integrating WP 2.7.1 with bbPress 0.9.0.5

Apart from new Widgets functionality, theme installing capability and some back-end performance improvement, you won’t miss much

Or you can wait for a few days for bbPress 1.0 which will integrate with WP 2.8 without any pain.
