Sounds like you need to sync up all of your salts and keys, and check out the cookies that get dropped from both sides when logging in.

Remember you will still need the bbPress Integration plugin on the WordPress side to drop the bbPress cookies.

The way I do this, is to use Firefox, login through WordPress, and look at the cookies. Then delete them. Login through bbPress, look at the cookies. Which ones are missing from either side? Which information doesn’t match? That will be your clue to getting them synced up.

Once you know what you’re looking at, this process shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes.

Sounds just like the problem I have. Check out this topic:

_ck_ mentioned something about a higher-level htaccess file that sounded promising:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/add-new-goes-to-404-for-logged-out-users#post-31541

Htaccess files vary from server to server, which may explain why you’re seeing this but other users aren’t consistently hitting the same issue… could that be a potential source of the issue?

bbpress 0.9.04

wordpress latest post 0.20

Reputatioin 0.0.6

BBpress Latest Discussion 1.3

[chrishajer]

What version of bbPress, and what versions of the plugins are you using?

[john500]

and BBPress Latest Discussions. It says someone posting and there name and then their name and post is not appearing inside the topic. In BBPress Latest Discussion will say last post by So and So and then that persons post does not appear and a different topic will then be displayed. Also the number of posts is incorrect. I am not sure if this means that Database is corrupted. Also reputation cannot be fixed unable to have it take away reputation points.

Anyone able to look into this offer solutions. I need this on a emergency basis. Thanks

I’m attempting to write a help page for my forum users.

My first aim is a page that will automatically build based on the features available to the user. For example, the “How to write HTML markup” section, would loop through all the valid tags, explaining each of them. If I block or add a tag via an addon, the help file would reflect that. Or, the section on “How to moderate” will only show up for users that are logged in with moderation capability.

It also occurred to me that plugins could be written with help built-in, both for the administrator and user. Just as a plugin can currently write itself into the admin menu.

Are there any protocols for creating help features for BBPress users? Standard structures, hooks, places to write the data, anything?

[chrishajer]

There was a plugin linked in this post:

The download link still works.

Hi.

In my web site, I have a mybb. I would like to trasform it in bbpress.

What are the steps to this transformation?

I imagine there isn’t a converter, but, can I convert mybb in phpbb and then in bbpress?

If it is yes, how?

Thanks.

I use Bad-Behavior and I feel it’s worthwhile. Mind, I routed all registration through my WP side, where I have BB and hooked up StopForumSpam.com.

Check https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/using-badbehavior-and-bbpress for info on BB and bb

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

You mean to pull from you bbPress database to populate the members of your mailman list?

In theory, anything that worked for WordPress to do that could be tweaked for bbPress. Just be careful that the default is to leave people NOT getting emails, so they can opt-in if they want. Otherwise you’re practically spamming

Hi,

Does anyone know a good tutorial / documentation on how to use user’s meta data in bbpress? I assume, they are meant for storing user custom data.

If there are no good tutorials on subject, can somebody point me to a good and simple plugin, which uses meta data for storing custom data? I could read the code and learn it by myself.

Thanks!

[Ramoonus]

tried a fresh install of bbpress

no success still

[Ivaylo Draganov]

I fixed it with the popular WP DB-Manager plugin. I just used the options “Repair DB” and then “Optimize DB”.

Here are the plugins I use which IMO might have smth to do with posting:

Post Edit Look Behind

Live Comment Preview

bbPress signatures

Ajaxed Quote

HTML Tag Attributes Validator

Related Topics

BBcode Buttons Toolbar

Post Count Plus

bbpress SEO tools

bbPress Polls

Post Notification

bb Topic Views

BBcode Lite

BBVideo

Forum Last Poster

bbPress Smilies

Things have been going fine for the last day so I hope it does not happen again And I’ve increased the backup frequency in case of an emergency.

[tedhogan]

Found a hack around this problem in another thread!

Forum could not be created!

Just create an entry in your bb_forums table and it will fix it.

[aetorre]

We are considering extending our wordpress site with forum capbilities. The question is whether is possible or not to integrate mailman and bbpress. Any experience?

Thanks in advance.

[johnhiler]

I couldn’t see what you meant while using Firefox… but I switched to Safari for the Mac, and see blue boxes with question marks!

I think Safari shows that blue box with the question box when it can’t load an image. I found a discussion forum that talked about it here – there are some links to screenshots showing the issue:

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6648604

I right-clicked on the blue box and asked to view the icon… and it showed me this image url:

http://kingscast.net/forums/bb-plugins/icon.png

Is it possible there’s a missing file? My version of bbPress polls displays an icon with a similar url when there’s a poll:

http://boards.weddingbee.com/my-plugins/bbpress-polls/icon.png

http://boards.weddingbee.com/view/polls

My guess is that if you move your icon.png file to under /bb-plugins/, the image will show up and your blue boxes will disappear?

Just wondering if someone can build a plugin to support wow itemlinks on bbPress.

See wowhead for what’s needed.

http://www.wowhead.com/?powered

Part of it would require the addition of a bbCode [item] [/item] for this purpose as well.

[dawormie]

I can’t see it on there. At least no question mark.

I’m using FireFox if that changes anything.

[kingscast]

I suppose a link might have helped

The top post shows the box http://kingscast.net/forums/

[dawormie]

Do you have a SS or link to what you are referring to?

I can’t see what you’re talking about and just added polls to mine.

[superbison]

I’m so happy for you all with working integration. I couldn’t get my log-in/logout integrated. In other words, I log in to one, then must log in to the other.

Thinking it was something in my theme, I started completely fresh after trying everything to get my existing WP site 100%.

Today, clean server – root installation – new WP, new bbpress, followed video! edited, checked, double checked and still … utter frustration.

log in to one, logs you out of the other and vice versus. All the cookies show and disappear. looks just like the video.

I will try for a few more hours some day, then I quit. Good Luck to all.

[kingscast]

Anytime a user posts a poll there’s a box with a question mark next to it. Same box for when you try to add a poll.

Is this normal or is there a better graphic I can insert for the poll? The blue box looks like an error.

Functionally the plugin works fine.

Thanks!

[johnhiler]

There was a similar report here and we weren’t able to figure it out:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/add-new-goes-to-404-for-logged-out-users

We did narrow it down to most probably an htaccess issue. In the end, the user just hardcoded the Add New link… which actually worked pretty well.
