Please can anyone help. I tried to integrate bbpress with my wordpress blog by going into bbpress admin page and doing something with -wp admin

Now none of my users or me as admin are recognised and it won’t even send me an e mail.

Is there any way back in?????

[Detective]

The plugin doesn’t work right out the box in my installation. I’ve configured the settings and added the needed lines to my wp-config.php file, but after doing that I can’t even login in WP (after entering user & pass I just get the same login screen with my username already filled).

However, if i change the defined ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’ from ‘/wp-admin’ to ‘/’ it works good. I don’t know it this is the right thing. Is it ?

edit: i have WPMU 2.7.1, BuddyPress 1.0 and bbPress 1.0 RC1.

I just installed bbPress and created a username and entered my e-mail address on the install screen. Everything installed fine, but I cannot login with the password they gave me. I copied and pasted the password directly and entered it with the correct username, admin, but it will not work. Also, I never received an e-mail, neither the first one or the password recovery e-mail I requested, and I am sure I entered the right e-mail address.

I need help very badly.

Hi,

I have a wordpress mu install + buddypress. All the stuff works fine. I have installed bbpress. As it was difficult to tune the installation, I don’t know if what I can’t do if the consequence of a bad installation or only a limitation of bbpress.

I thought bbpress was buillt to work with wordpress mu : then I should be able to automatically enable a forum per blog created. But it is not the case : there’s one forum belonging to the first blog wp mu, and other blogs do not have one’s.

I don’t know if I am clear so I describe what I need.

Let’s say I create a WordPress MU on example.org.

I install bbpress to the example.org/forums path. Ok, it works.

Now, I create another blog, let’s say myblog.example.org.

When I enter the url myblog.example.org/forums, I should get a new forum space, not the forum that belongs to the main blog.

How to do that ?

Regards,

Fred

Ah….In what way re VHOSTs?

I dleted the tables. I deleted the user files for bbpress.

This is the error message I get now.

The database failed to install. You may need to replace bbPress with a fresh copy and start again.

Database installation failed!!!

Is bbpress compatible with wordpress or am I wasting my time?

[chrishajer]

Trac is a bug tracking application, found here for bbPress:

https://trac.bbpress.org/

[michael3185]

Ahem. Spoke too soon. I tested my forum in Firefox and IE7 after working in Chrome, my default browser. I got an error page in IE7 from Bad Behaviour;

Error 403

We’re sorry, but we could not fulfill your request for / on this server.

You do not have permission to access this server.

Your technical support key is: (blah blah).

You can use this key to fix this problem yourself.

If you are unable to fix the problem yourself, please contact badbots at ioerror.us and be sure to provide the technical support key shown above.

On the ‘fix it yourself’ page there are no useful details of how to, and the email I sent got returned as failed.

Any ideas?

i’m integrated the rc-1 of bbpress and wp 2.7.1 (not mu) but when i login in wp i’m logout to bbpress and if i login to bbpress i’m logout to wp.

i’ve checked all the key and are the same, i’ve installed the plugin… so i’ve followed step-by-step the screencast…

please can anyone help me? thanks!

[michael3185]

Thanks Ipstenu. Just installed it as you instructed, got no errors. I now have Akismet (with Skip Akismet for admins), Human Test, and Bad Behaviour. Hopefully I’ll see a spam once in a blue moon.

[Nnyan]

That stinks I was able to integrate punBB by just adding header/footer of my theme. Would be nice if bbPress were made more “theme” friendly.

[johnhiler]

Ah that must be it… kingscast, did you drag all the files directly into the /bb-plugins/ folder?

The files should all go into a /bbpress-polls/ subfolder instead… including the icon.png one.

ps while you’re at it, you probably want to put the plugins into a /my-plugins/ folder instead of the /bb-plugins/ one…

[_ck_]

bb-polls should be in it’s own sub-directory with the icon.png inside of it.

You must have installed the plugin and not copied the icon over from the package.

[johnhiler]

Btw, do you need to have only one point of signin? I used to do that too (only use the bbPress signin, in my case)… but eventually I gave up and started using both. There has been no confusion or technical problems from users, and each signin does a good job with its side of the *Press fence!

[chrishajer]

bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress, so what you’re looking for requires some work on your part. You need to create a theme for bbPress that mimics the look of your WordPress theme. We’re all spoiled with finding WordPress themes for free, pretty much all over the place. The same thing does not exist yet for bbPress themes, although there are a few bbPress themes that match their WordPress counterparts. If you have a WordPress theme you like already, you’re probably going to have to create a theme for bbPress that looks like that one.

[onlined]

I worked through the screencast to integrate bbPress with wordpress and all seems to be working well.

The thing is I can not figure out how to get bbPress to work within my theme, I want the wordpress theme to be a kind of ‘wrapper’ for the forum, putting just a link in the header to the forum, then for bbPress to come up on the page.

Is there a simple code tag I can put on a page to make this happen or else how do I do it?

[Windhamdavid]

Disable all plugins! upgrade the bbpress RC-1,

try again. if persist it sounds like your user tables are mangled probably due to something similar to dragunoff

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/not-able-to-make-new-posts-database-error

you try to clean up using – http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming/php/#wp-dbmanager

.. are you sharing tables with your wordpress installation?

[aetorre]

Thank you very much johnhiler, I should have searched better.

I will try these plugins.

[Ramoonus]

i think its got to do with the host using VHOSTs

[lemon001]

I’m interested in anti-spam measures that the moment, with just setting up two forums. I use Akismet and the Human Test plugin. I guess this berk was human (almost), but Akismet hasn’t flagged it as spam and removed it. I get the impression from their site that it should. If it doesn’t flag it, does an admin have to mark it as spam and delete it..?

[HeroicNate]

Ok so I started the install of bbPress and ran into this same issue so I stopped at step 2. Now I know I need to install the 1.0 version, but since I’ve already configured the database( Part 1 of install ), does that mean I’ll have to erase/change/do something to the database besides just deleting the bbPress files and uploading the new version?

Also, I never put the secret keys in when I installed wordpress. Does that mean I’ll have to resintall to put the secret keys in, or can I simply change the config file and over-write the old one and everything will work that way?

[johnhiler]

This plugin should send all moderators/admins an email whenever a post is made by any non-moderator/admin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/moderator-new-post-notification/

Or alternatively, this one should hold all posts in moderation until a moderator/admin has approved it:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-moderation-hold/

Hope one of those does the trick for you!

[aetorre]

Thanks for your response.

In fact, I’m just interested in sent a mail to one moderator (or mail list of moderators) when every comment or topic is post. Other option could be to impose previous moderator revision to all comments before they are post. However, I have not found any plugin to do so. I tested Moderation-suite but it doesn’t fit our necessities. Any idea?

So what cookies do you see when you login through bbPress?

What cookies do you see when you login through WordPress?

What are the differences? Either you’re missing a hash, or your host is wrong, or the path is off. Something is missing.

[jpmendoza]

I’ve tried this as well: if( !wp_validate_auth_cookie() )

but haven’t had any luck.
