it is very difficult to use and to get support if you are not computer literate. There is no support apart from some dedicated volunteers. People would be advised to use another Forum option unless you are very technically inclined or have someone on retainer that knows how to use the software.

I’m also looking for that feature. Is there a working plugin?

Or maybe there could be a solution which uses some kind of feed parsing to display latest posts?

That is what I use to display latest discussions from bbPress into WordPress – just use the built-in RSS-parser. Is there something like that in bbPress?

[canadian-dutch]

this is a neat plugin, but is it possible to go backwards?

Is it possible to import new threads from bbpress as posts in the wordpress blog? Not all of them, but ones labelled/tagged/etc in a specific way?

[canadian-dutch]

I haven’t done any kind of integration. I just have the two things installed in the same home directory and then tried to make this plugin work. My wordpress is using a theme as I set it up before the bbpress but I did not do anything with bbpress, it is a clean install.

The site is temporarily at http://www.alwaysbeenagypsy.com/thefashionstudent/

and http://www.alwaysbeenagypsy.com/thefashionstudent/forum/

(though I am playing a lot with it so it may or may not be up if you try)

I’m wondering if maybe I got some of the keys wrong, would that do it?

In the documentation it says to use the “secret key” from the wp-config file but there is no secret key so I guessed which one sounded the most like it could be a secret key. The keys are:

AUTH_KEY

SECURE_AUTH_KEY

LOGGED_IN_KEY

NONCE_KEY

I have seen other forums that integrate with wordpress but to be honest I like the simplicity of this one, the others have way too much shit in them so I hope I can figure out how to get this working!

Hola a todos!

Me he tomado la libertad de modificar y terminar la traducción de la versión 0.8 que cogí del directorio Subversion. Los archivos se pueden descargar de: http://www.javalotodo.com/2009/04/25/bbpress-en-espanol/

Si alguien sabe cómo subirlos al Subversion que me lo diga.

Un saludo!

[johnhiler]

Hmm, those are the versions that I think these plugins were designed for.

Is it possible you’re using seamless integration? Other users have reported similar problems between Freshly Baked Cookies and seamless integration:

sorry I should have mentioned that. I am using WordPress 2.7.1 and bbpress 0.9.0.4

These were both downloaded and installed yesterday.

I am not able to post a youtube video with this program and I am the admin.

I have latest stable version of bbpress

thanks

So I’ve successfully integrated WordPress and bbPress, and have been messing around with it! It’s great, but I’ve been receiving this error every time I delete a topic. (The topic still gets deleted, it’s just. . . I have to hit “back” in my browser, but having an error at all still bugs me.)

bbPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘WHERE status=0 AND user_id>0 AND size>0 AND post_id IN (SELECT post_id FROM bb_p’ at line 1]

SELECT count(*) as count FROM WHERE status=0 AND user_id>0 AND size>0 AND post_id IN (SELECT post_id FROM bb_posts WHERE post_status=0 AND topic_id=25)

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /my/absolute/path/forum/bb-includes/db-mysql.php:130) in /my/absolute/path/forum/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 232

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

It sounds like your server is using PHP4?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/warning-cannot-yet-handle-mbcs-in-html_entity_decode

If you upgrade to PHP5, it should work!

[scottfresener]

I downloaded the latest release of bbPress. I uploaded all the files/folders to my site. I even deleted them and uploaded them again to see if it fixed it. I get to the install screen and when I click “let’s get started” I get the following error about 200 times.

Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /home/content/t/b/i/tbiznet1/html/bbpress/bb-includes/wp-functions.php on line 113

[johnhiler]

What versions of bbPress and WordPress are you using?

[canadian-dutch]

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_validate_auth_cookie() (previously declared in /home/alwaysbe/public_html/thefashionstudent/wp-includes/pluggable.php:497) in /home/alwaysbe/public_html/thefashionstudent/wp-content/plugins/freshly-baked-cookies.php on line 52

what could be causing this? I am able to log into wp and bbpress with the same username/password but I would really like to be able to only have to log in and log out one time.

I tried using the other plugin (Ann’s plugin) but when I activated it I could no longer access the website and got a fatal loop error page until I deleted the plugin file.

It seems that bbPress didn’t have the sidebar & widget system.

Why?

[_ck_]

Install bb-benchmark but that won’t show why the sheer connection number has increased.

bbPress only uses one connection per page load, but the number of queries can vary.

3. Is it possible to use WordPress blog’s header on bbPress (Replacing forum header with blog’s header) without integration?

Yes, it is possible. I did it for my own website, and i dont experience any kind of performance problems (yet).

4. Page Views is not appearing in the forum menu. How to fix that?

There’s a plugin for that …

And for the rest i must say. Use the search button more often, there’s a whole world of answers on youre questions, just throwup a searchphrase, and you will be amazed what you could find

[chrishajer]

Are you just talking about moving a topic in your bbPress install to a different forum in the same bbPress install? At the bottom of the topic page (in 0.9.0.4) there is a drop down “Move this topic to the selected forum: ” with a list of forums. That is how you would move a topic from one forum to another in the same bbPress installation. If you don’t have that link at the bottom of the topic page, you probably don’t have permission to move it (i.e. you’re not keymaster, admin or moderator.) Members can’t do this on their own. Some one in charge needs to do it.

[chrishajer]

1. No, that is to prevent search engines from caching a copy of your site. It will still be indexed, you’re just telling the search engine not to cache the site.

2. PHP. You need to do a little PHP that says “if this is the first post, then show the adsense, otherwise, don’t.”

advertisements after the first message

3. It’s not that easy. It’s better to create a bbPress template that looks like your WordPress template. But you can read others experiences by browsing the integration tag.

4. Why do you think page views should be showing up? That’s not built in.

What version of bbPress did you install, and what plugins did you install?

[chrishajer]

0.9 supports subforums, but in 1.0 categories are built in. To me, a category is a parent forum that does not allow posts. It’s not built in to anything but the 1.0 alphas right now.

This plugin states that it works up to 0.9.0.2:

Hello,

I have started a bbPress forum on my site. But not being able to do few things properly and hence seeking help. Kindly guide me.

1. My page header section contains a meta tag like this…

<meta NAME=”robots” CONTENT=”noarchive”>

Is this OK? I guess this is used to block spiders, isn’t that?

2. I want to show a adsense ad inside the first post only. But when I edited the Post.php and reloaded the post page, I found that the ad is appearing in every post. How to limit that ad for the first post only?

3. Is it possible to use WordPress blog’s header on bbPress (Replacing forum header with blog’s header) without integration?

4. Page Views is not appearing in the forum menu. How to fix that?

Waiting for some helping hands. Thanks in advance.

After a more deep forum search I found this

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/global-variables-in-header-not-passed-to-body

Thanks a lot anyway.

[ale77dan]

Hello bbpress forum!

I successfully integrated bbpress into my WordPress installation. I have shared user database and header/footer function.

Now I want highlight the Forum Tab in the header menu, of course only when people are showing forum pages. I read in this forum that I can use $forumpage variable. So, I can use it in a conditional function, like <?php if ($forumpage = TRUE) { echo ” id=”current””; } ?>

But, such variable is always TRUE, also in non bbpress page.

Where is the trouble?

Sorry for my little english!

[sumit1988]

err.. (1.)forums with different databases or (2.) just different forums in ONE bbPress Install?

1. export database, import to the new one except of the options- tables and so on

2. Log in to bbPress, go to your Topic you want to move (frontend), go to the bottom of the page to the “move topic to” section and select the forum you want. Click on “move” or something similar – done.

[jbbrwcky]

Hi,

Is there a template similar to functions.php in wordpress where you can integrate a backend in to control various bits and pieces of bbpress?

Thanks,

Richard
