Hello fellow bbPress admins!
I have wordpress and bbPress installed on a Mac OX Leopard server running PHP Version 5.2.6 (Safe Mode Off) and am having problems activating bbPress themes and plug-ins. Mind you everything else is working fine as well as WordPress which is working perfectly, but in bbPress I get the following errors:
Your attempt to switch themes has failed.
Please try again.
In the case of Plug-in’s I get
Your attempt to do this has failed.
Please try again.
In terms of Troubleshooting I have:
1. Tried the Akismet and Bozo plugins and the two default theme(s) included by themselves and I cannot switch between the two default themes nor activate the default plug-in’s.
2. Tried each plug-in individually. None will activate.
3. Tried adding the underscore (_) to the name to force the loading, they still wont work, but the show up as “Automatically Activated”.
Heck, I even Added the .htacesss rules for name friendly urls, did not help.
My questions are, do I need to set anything up differently for bbPress Plugins and Themes an two is there an error log for bbPress that I can view to try and sort out?
Is this a known issue on unix/linux variants?
Thank You in advance for your help
The JQuery issue sounded like it might be related to the WordPress integration?
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/favorites-broken-alpha-6
Sorry if these links aren’t quite dead on – I haven’t seen this behavior before, so grasping at straws a bit! 
maybe. But that thread is about bbpress 1.0 or? and behaviour is little bit different.
Is this error possibly related?

It sounds like it could be either a bug in bbPress… or an issue with JQuery not loading?
yep the secret keys in the configs match
also got;
define(‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 1);
its BBpress 0.9.0.4 and yes, it is integrated with wordpress 2.7
and the secret keys in both config files correspond?
I just installed WP and buddypress then I installed BP and followed this http://trentadams.com/2009/04/01/buddypress-forums-tutorial/ to match everthing up. I am running all the newest versions of all tree programs and the only prob I have is that other users other then the admin user cant post or reply.
My Buddypress admin can create and reply to forum topics but when i go to the bbpress admin the only user i have is my admin.
I install bbpress in the same DB as WP and Buddypress and still nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
What version of bbPress tribsel? And, is it integrated with WordPress?
I recall having the same problem – resolved it by manualy delete the tag via phpMyAdmin
the user list is shared correctly
i think the problem lies in the cookies
because if i login to the forum i need to relogin to the site
and vice versa
Is the user-base being shared correctly?
have you checked that the cookies correspond?
What version of bbPress are you using?
Is any other mail sent from the server?
Can you use a plugin like Instant Password to work around it?

Dear friends,
I have implemented bbpress forum in our website but when i do registration the message comes that passward is sending to your email id but it is not coming at email id.Can any body help me on this ?
The forum is located in a subdirectory of the WP blog; bbpress/
I`ve enabled the bbpress plugin in WordPress
Ive added the lines to WP config and the BBpress lines to bb`s config
It just doesnt seem to be working
Have the same problem since 0.9.x
A bit of help is appreciated!
Was a bb-config.php file created in the bbPress directory?
bbPress integration plugin is in the WordPress plugin repository.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/
OK, fixed with the “put $bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser_[Insert MD5Hash]’; into the bb-config.php file” hack.
According to the splash page, it’s 0.9.0.4. I’m on BlueHost and that is what the sponsored link loads.
Ok, thanks, so basically at this time there is no way to import forum data into bbpress?
Is there any kind of timeline on when something like this will be integrated, either via a plugin or internal to bbpress? No rush on this end, there’s a lot of customizing I need to do and I have to learn PHP to create some plugins I need, but I don’t want to waste my time if it’s not going to happen.
bbP 0.9.4 & WP (ahem) 2.0.11.
Unfortunately in a position that I can’t upgrade WP at the moment.
bbP is using the WP users table fine, but doubling up on the cookies for some reason.
This thread is pretty old. What versions are you integrating?
For some reason, I’m getting two sets of cookies being set.
Both WordPress and bbPress are setting wordpresspass_ & wordpressuser_ cookies. The domains and paths are identical but the hash part of the key is the different.
Any ideas why WP and bbP might still be out of sync after following the instructions above?
Actually the BBXF plugins have been temporarily removed from bbPress.
This one has been on the back-burner for a while, but hoping to base the first real release on the RSS or ATOM standard somehow. Similar to the way WordPress’ export format is based on RSS.
I’m not sure… but once you’ve successfully imported the data into bbPress, you should be able to upgrade to the final version of bbPress without having to worry about BBXF anymore?
