Both bbPress & WordPress can work alone

[riccardo-lo-schiavo]

I need to integrate or it can work alone ?

[nicolas_fr]

Hello,

I installed bbPress 1.0-alpha-4.1 with WP 2.7.1, following the “Basic integration screencast” topic.

The install roxxs, and i can share ma account between WP and bbP.

BUT … i can’t create new topic.

When i try, the result is always the same : “This topic has been closed”.

The number of topic is increised, but unable to show this fu… topic.

I checked on the database : no topic found.

Someone has an idea ?

Thx for all

I struggled through the integration process. I believe it is working more or less.

The site is: http://www.njaneh.org

The forum is at http://www.njaneh.org/blog/forum

However, I have a problem. When I add in this line as suggested in http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/

if ( !defined(‘BBDB_NAME’) )

require_once(ABSPATH.’bbpress/bb-load.php’);

I get these this error message in both WordPress and bbPress.

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home1/endingho/public_html/blog/bbpress/bb-load.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home1/endingho/public_html/blog/wp-config.php on line 34

When I deleted the lines I added to the config file I can access both but am unable to log into bbPress.

How do I solve the log-in question?

My goal was to have a quality forum that would look and feel like my main wordpress site.

Is that possible or should I dump bbpress and seek another option?

I have created several static pages on my site (www.wbs80.com) which is using bbpress.

I would like the static page called “Home” to be the default page seen when my site is visited.

Currently the default is the “Forum” page. How do I change this?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks ck, much appreciated. I’m glad you like it. Thanks for all the great work on bbpress.

It very nearly works The polls show up correctly, but also this error:

Warning: Missing argument 1 for bb_polls_pre_poll(), called in /home/content/b/l/o/blogdave/html/forums/bb-templates/blank2rbbpress/topic.php on line 11 and defined in /home/content/b/l/o/blogdave/html/forums/bb-plugins/bbpress-polls/bb-polls.php on line 47

Hi to all; a friend of mine is having troubles with his BBPress installation, so He asked me for help.

He has got a WordPress blog with BBPress integrated.

He changed hosting. He says he simpled moved the files and the database dumps.

Now, WordPress works fine, while BBPress doesn’t logs in anyone and doesn’t let to register new users.

I tried to install a fresh installation of BBPress, and it works fine; but after that, if I try to overwrite the fresh database with the old datas, it doesn’t work again.

How can I save old topics, post etc?

Thanks to all! ^^

PS: I’m not an english guy, so excuse me for any mistake!

Here’s the link to the theme we’re using.

http://www.refueled.net/free-bbpress-themes/

I just tweaked the style sheet and the width of columns.

[Dave]

We were using simple:press but it was so slow and bloated. Our load time on pages throughout the site was 3+ seconds with simple:press installed. With bbpress, it’s 0.5 seconds or less. Thank you bbpress!

Hey eagano… is your plugin available in a regular WordPress 2.7.1 version?

[bikemccall]

Hi refueled,

This is an old post, but here goes. I just launched a website that uses the bbPress Misty Morning theme and have found that gravatars aren’t working. However, they are working on the WordPress side of the site. Trent wondered if it might be theme specific, so I figured I’d ask to see if you’ve seen gravatars working in the theme. Note, I’m not wanting to change the theme at this point since the site is live (and married with the MistyMountain WP theme). The site is http://www.bikemccall.com and my original thread is here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/avatarsgravatars-amp-version-10-alpha-6#post-25552

Thanks for your time.

I just finished installing Alpha-6 and integrating it with WP 2.7.1

It all worked great and users are shared.

There’s just one problem. All new users in bbpress are being

automatically set to “inactive” instead of “member”. Even the

keymaster in the forum has the word “inactive” displaying

(even when I manually changed it too on his profile).

Any ideas?

[yannco]

I have now fixed the Approve Registration plugin for bbPress 1.0a

as well as another bug it had with resetting passwords upon approval.

(it might also now work again with bbPress 0.9.0.4, untested)

There isn’t any site “larger than recommended” for bbPress

There is a bbPress site with nearly 2 million posts and another with 8 million users, so there aren’t any limits.

I’ll look at the approve plugin and see how hard it is to make work with 1.6

I used the Bozo plugin for a while, and even after I disabled and deleted it… one of my users was marked as a Bozo and her comments didn’t show up no matter what she did!

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/removing-all-bozo-data-from-my-database

I ended up having to run some queries suggested in that link above, I think. I can’t remember. But it was a huge pain, and now I avoid the Bozo plugin completely!

[johnhiler]

One user did this with a core hack:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum

Here’s a plugin based approach that got good reviews:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/nicer-slug-url-rewrite-plugin-done

More on that here!

Good luck!

Can you still set users as Bozos in 0.9.0.4? I do not see the option now, but maybe it’s my theme.

I have an old copy of the Bozo Users plugin, but cannot find the documentation (the link is back to the bbpress.org main page) and nothing on the plugin author’s page. I don’t want to activate it if it might not play nice with 0.9.0.4.

I could really use this feature right now…

Thanks!

I am with a problem in to friendly URL.

Different from the wordpress that is possible to configure the base of the URL, I didn’t find that option in the bbPress.

My problem: I installed the forum in the directory /forum

When the user clicks in a category, the address is: myblog.com/forum/forum

and I wanted to alter for myblog.com/forum/category

Is it possible, without harming the system for future updates?

My version is 0.9.0.4

Thanks.

There are some auto-taggers for WordPress:

* https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-auto-tagger/ – This one suggests posts on a per post basis

* https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-calais-archive-tagger/ – This auto-tags your entire post archive

Both plugins could probably be ported to bbPress fairly easily…

Hi,

I’m about ready to launch a BBpress forum version 1.0 alpha 6, that’s integrated with WP 2.7. Everything is looking good, but I’m not able to get Avatars (specifically Gravatars) to display on the BBPress side. They’re showing up perfectly on the WP 2.7 portion of the site.

I’ve tested a bunch of different combinations in the BBPress admin just to make sure that a bit wasn’t flipped the wrong way. I’ve tried all different levels of Maximum Ratings, Show Gravatars (checked/unchecked) and even played with the default images. No luck.

Anyone have any suggestions? Is this a known issue with V1.a.6 by chance?

Thanks.

[bruinfelix]

I started with the ‘default’ buddypress theme, that comes with the package, as i may think it is more generic and easier to study on how things are done

And thats why i choose the ‘blue’ things ..

But, first thing first .. Just altering and tweaking the buddypress them a lot right now, and the next step whould be the bbpress theme, so it matches

[agitainment]

I’m trying to figure out a way to give users the option to select from a small number of pre-set avatars (say, five or six). As the admin, I want to be able to upload the avatars then give the users a choice, but I don’t want to allow users to be able to upload their own avatars to my site.

Does anyone know if bbpress already allows this (and how to accomplish it) or if there is a plug-in out there that allows for this (if it’s something like Avatar Upload, I’d need a way to turn off general uploading and only allow the admin to do the uploading)?

Thanks for the help.

Cheers!

Hi I am using wp 2.7.0 trunk (2.7.1) bbpress Version 1.0-alpha-6 Buddypress Core: 1.0-RC1 And I have the same problem. To try and resolve the issues I will show you the cookies for buddypress/wp and bbpress but instead of sharing the cookie I will call it “cookiestring”:

At bp/wp I have:

2x worpdress_logged_in_cookiestring at /

wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/bb-plugins

wordpress_cookie string at /forums/my-plugins

wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/bb-admin

wordpress_cookiestring at /wp-admin

wordpress_cookiestring at /wp-content/plugins

wordpress_test_cookie at /

PHPSESSID at /

_utma at /

_utmb at /

_utmc at /

_utmz at /

at bbpress the I have the following cookies

wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/bb-plugins

wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/my-plugins

wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/bb-admin

wordpress_cookiestring at /wp-admin

wordpress_cookie string at /wp-content/plugins

As you can see I have the same cookie string but I have a few extra cookies at buddypress.

Thanks for sharing your experience with me.

Johan
