For those of you who are having this problem, which appears to be a large amount… the answer is simple bbPress 0.9 DOES NOT SUPPORT all those new keys past WordPress 2.5. If you are trying to install, apparently you have to use the beta bbPress 1.0.

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

As an aside, I wish integration btwn wp and bbpress were easier. Ever since I installed this forum, it’s been my dream to have one login for the whole site, I’ve never been able to get it to work.

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

I made a mistake in integrating my wp and bbpress, by changing the database used to determine users. I thought the database was the same, so I added the wp prefix. Turns out they’re not the same. Now I can’t log into my forum anymore because it’s looking up the login in a different table

I’m getting the error:

bbPress database error: [Table ‘xx_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT ID FROM xx_users WHERE user_login = ‘xx’

Can anyone help me disable this as soon as I can? No one can log in!

I am running WordPress 2.7.1

I just downloaded the latest bbPress from this website.

According to the screencast I should be seeing a request for AUTH, SECURE_AUTH, LOGGED_IN, and NONCE keys. However, the latest installer seems to be asking for the old SECRET_KEY and nothing else.

Why is this? Is this a reversion error? If this is not an error, you need disambiguation comments in many places, including on the website, in the screencast, and in the installer.

Went with bbPress:

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

WP 2.7.1 and bbPress 0.9.0.4 can’t be integrated natively because of the way they handle cookies. Either you downgrade the method used by WP or upgrade the method used by bbPress. Both the method can be done via plugins (You only need to use one of them).

For WP plugin:

http://superann.com/2009/02/26/wordpress-26-27-bbpress-09-cookie-integration-plugin/

For bbPress plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/freshly-baked-cookies/

I have used the bbPress plugin to get them in sync.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

Please help me with bbpress -wordpress integration.

I used the packages with following versions:

BBPress: 0.9.0.4

WordPress 2.7.1.

I did all steps during the installation for wordpress integration and tried many other steps. I read many articles related to this but it doesn’t work!!

Here I am using XAMPP and developed the site on my local server. The path of packages installation is:

http://localhost/myproject/blog

http://localhost/myproject/forum

I can login separately from these two packages but couldn’t login to two packages same time using any one of them

I did the following steps:

1. Forum-> WordPress Integration

WordPress address (URL) = http://localhost/myproject/blog

Blog address (URL) = http://localhost/myproject/blog

WordPress database secret = 2t3&d#@9QQI6mpk3XE#8J3(mk^yQGeu28qXAXvn)W^Cvx!G09B(w983oT#V8QJfH

Note: check with blog secret characters and are same.

Copy the following to blog/wp-config.php

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/myproject/’);

Also created the entry in wp-config.php

define(‘SECRET_KEY’, ‘r.@Vk%kM`DC&}V\:}5DnXg#e%X!,nVCdIX=<&feYyLyUSuseGp3xN.T+qL1*/|p?’);

In bb-config.php

define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, ‘r.@Vk%kM`DC&}V\:}5DnXg#e%X!,nVCdIX=<&feYyLyUSuseGp3xN.T+qL1*/|p?’);

But after this, nothing get happen

please help me.

Thanks in advance.

You could use something like this to show bbPress information in any site:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-show-bbpress-info-inside-wordpress-without-full-integration

It’s not as easy as a widget, but it can be done.

[chrishajer]

I’m with _ck_ – I just disable akismet and the bozo thing. I dont trust either of them for bbPress (Bad Behaviour either, for that matter.)

Regarding letting the user know: I don’t really have an opinion on it. I am sort of used to the way WordPress commenting works: if the blog moderates comments, then your comment is shown if you still have the cookies, but it normally says “waiting for moderation” or something. It’s not visible if the blog doesn’t know it’s you coming back (or to other visitors). I never expected a site to tell me that my comment was marked as spam, and I guess I don’t expect bbPress to do that either.

[chrishajer]

I can’t understand why you would want an anonymous user to enter a username and password (wouldn’t they just register?) If you’re concerned with registration and login and missing emails, you could always just display the password immediately, or let them choose the password.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/instant-password/

[diabolikal]

I’m not too sure, I have a .htaccess file within bbpress and another in my main root.

[john32]

To answer your question, all 3 of them, I am using bbPress 1.0-Alpha-6.

Here’s something interesting. When both WP URL and bbPress URL’s match, no www, if I log into WP Admin FIRST and then try logging into bbPress, the bbPress login will refresh itself but it will not change to what you see when you log in.

BUT…

Once I log out of WP Admin and refresh that same forum page with the empty login and password fields?

Just by hitting refresh once I have logged out of WP, it automatically switches the login to my logged in box with my profile link, admin link, etc.

I’m going to try some more tweaking and see what I can come up with.

EDIT: After hitting refresh logs me into my forums, I go to my WP Admin and, even though I just logged out, it lets me into my WP Admin area. I try logging out here and get that error loop. I do what you said to do Kev, /wp-login.php?action=logout, and it asks me if I want to log out. I do logout successfully. I go back tot he forums, where I’m still logged in, REFRESH that forum page, go back to my WP Admin and AGAIN I’m logged in!

The huge gaping problem with this is if I go to my main site and click on a post it asks me for my name and email, as if I wasn’t logged in.

I’ll keep trying.

2nd EDIT: I guess it would be nice to include the link to my forums.

Is there any kind of widget out there that will show the most recent topic on a regular website. Or maybe the 5 most recent? Thanks

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hi Chris,

As someone who has suffered from mysteriously disappearing posts before i feel i should ask, do you think BBpress should in some way tell the user when something like this happens?

[steinninn]

Hi.

I am building a forum for my filmwebsite. I have a couple of thousand movies in my database and I wanted to have a separate forum for each. Is this possible with bbpress?

I also wanted to have it work with my existing user accounts.

[john32]

(I removed all references tot he URL due to the spam plugin hating me for it)

I installed WordPress 2.7.1 first then bbPress 1.0-Alpha-6. When I first installed I set the follow settings,

bbPress Admin – Settings – WP Integration:

WordPress address (URL): URL with WWW

Blog address (URL): URL with WWW

My main admin / keymaster has to log into both WP and bbPress to access both. I want to integrate it so I can log into one and access both.

I realized that in WP my WP URL and Blog URL, they are both the same, was set to (URL WITHOUT WWW) so I changed it in the bbPress settings. You would think since both WP and bbPress now actually match things would get better? They got worse.

I have a Maintenance Mode plugin that denies access to every page in WP (Excluding the forums since they aren’t a part of WP) unless you are logged in as an admin on the WP side. When the URL and Blog were set to (URL with WWW) I had to log into bbPress and then WP but could see all of the WP pages.

Now that I changed the URL to exclude the www I can now log into bbPress AND be AUTOMATICALLY logged into WP BUT I can no longer see the WP pages indicating WP doesn’t see me as an admin. Not only that but when in the WP Admin and I try to log out it gives me an error:

You are attempting to log out of AscenDance Radio

Please try again.

With a link back to my admin page. It never lets me log out and only happens after I go into bbPRess Admin Panel and change the URL / Blog to match the actual URL that WP has in its settings.

It has nothing to do with the Maintenance Mode plugin either. I take it off and try to leave a comment on a post but bbPress and WP Admin see me logged in BUT the post requires me to enter my name and email address as if it doesn’t know I’m logged in.

So basically bbPress and WP Admin knows I’m logged in but my actual WP Site had no clue.

When I put,

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’,’.ascendanceradio.com’);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

into both the wpconfig and bbpressconfig files it will no longer let me log into both WP and bbPress. If I log into WP first I can access all my WP Pages but when I try to log into bbPRess after the page just refreshes and my login information clears. If I log into bbPress first it lets me get into my WP Admin but my WP Pages can’t be access due to the plugin not recognizing I’m an admin. I also get the same error when trying to log out of the WP Admin.

I tried only adding the cook domain / path code to ONLY wpconfig and receive the same error as mentioned in the above paragraph.

I also just tried adding all that code from the Integration 101 8 step solution and get the same problems as mention in the big paragraph above.

The closet I get to having it work is when I add www to all the bbPress settings. I just tried adding to the 8 step code snippet (the URL portions, I did not touch the cookie domain or any other domains) AND changing the URL and Blog to (URL with WWW) and it lets me log into both giving me access to everything I want, bbPress / WP Admin AND WP Pages as my plugin now sees me as an admin.

The only problem is that’s not integrated login.

Do you think if I change, in WP Admin, my URL and Blog URL to (URL with WWW) (As opposed to what it is now, http://ascendanceradio.com) it would fix the problem? I tried changing the name before and ruined my WP site and had to reinstall (Afterward I figured out I could have changed the value through myphpadmin and proceeded to cry for days). Could I ruin my WP site if I change the URL and Blog address to include www?

Is there someway somewhere a function / cookie / database value is requiring a www and that’s why things seem to work better when I include it in my bbPress Admin Settings?

I try to go to (URL with WWW) and it automatically redirects me to (URL WITHOUT WWW) so I don’t understand why www would be needed for anything.

I hope I was clear and concise enough to get some good help. I’ve spent over 8 hours debugging this before turning for help so anything at this point is greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

[chrishajer]

I don’t know HOW to do it, but I know we’ve talked about it before:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/reply-post-form-only-shows-up-at-the-last-page#post-22820

[chrishajer]

Or, if you want anonymous posting:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-anonymous-posting/

[chrishajer]

How about a plugin like this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/custom-user-groups

[johnhiler]

Would this plugin do the trick?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/instant-password

[inkey]

I’m use bbPress, and have one big usability problem: there is a bug (you think “a feature, I know that! ) – when a topic has a few pages, the post form displaying only on last page. Quoting on another pages is not working, and user must read (or skip) all pages to post reply.

How to display a post form on every topic page?

Hey Kevin!

Thanks I got it working by using CK’s Fix Admin Access plugin and by specifying these two lines in bb-config.php :

$bb->custom_user_table = ‘wp_users’;

$bb->custom_user_meta_table = ‘wp_usermeta’;

Things are working fine till now. I was lost at your instructions so I myself tried hit and trial method and finally got everything setup. Thanks for your help.

The only thing that I am left in my project is to create custom member area for students & faculty members which require me to set and recognize the cookie exactly what is being used by WP & bbPress at the time. Can you help in this regard?

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hi Ashfame,

Sorry to hear you had problems with my instructions, but i think i know the issue.

You missed out one of the key steps i had mentioned.

When you click to activate Ann’s plugin, you need to manually change your url to “/wp-login.php?action=logout”. this is because the url it tries to redirect you to is the one that shows ann’s plugin activated, but as you now have a different cookie than it recognises it puts you to the log in page, which puts you to the one that shows ann’s page plugin activated (and so the loop goes on).

So as i said: “It then automatically boots you our of the WP admin area. you have to go to/wp-login.php?action=logout and then entirely clear your cache and cookies. Then re-log in. The cookie WP sets will now be recognisable.”

I learnt the hard way that skipping steps (especially when there’s only 4 of them) makes it very difficult to work.

That said, if you won’t ever need 1 single solitary wordpress function then _ck_’s plugin is definitely the way to go. It installed like a dream and is super easy. that said, i’ve installed Ann’s plugin on 4 site’s i’ve upgraded to WP 2.7.1 and it’s worked every time on them by using the above instructions (but you must change the url to /wp-login.php?action=logout and then clear your chache and cookies ).

Good luck

@_ck_:

A note on deep integration: As of 0.9.0.4, deep integration will break the localization due to the localization methods being used from WP’s core files (bb_settings.php line 75), causing the system to look for bbPress-language files in the WP language directory. Here’s what to fix to make bbPress load it’s own language files from bb_includes/languages when using deep integration:

In line 376-377 of bb-settings.php, replace

// Load the default text localization domain.

load_default_textdomain();

with

// Load the default text localization domain.

if ( !(defined('DB_NAME')) ) {  // Include localization the bbPress-way when WP is not running.

load_default_textdomain();

}

else {

$locale = get_locale();

$mofile = BB_LANG_DIR . "$locale.mo";



load_textdomain('default', $mofile);

};
