I’m using WordPress 2.7.1 and just installed the latest alpha of bbpress. Looking around I see lots of very old chatter about Themepress being the best solution for sharing a theme between the two products.. but it doesn’t seem to be available/work anymore.
So what’s the latest? I’m going to make the assumption that someone picked up on themepress’s work and has come up with a solution to integrate WordPress and Bbpress themes. What’s the latest and greatest?
Best,
Jason
Thanks, Chrishajer.
More question:
1, Do I create database first before running install.php? Both I try ( no database to install and after create database to install), it doesn’t work.
2, I can’t find the path where is I created database save in, so I entered localhost in the Database Host. I really don’t understand what is the database host and search it in internet, is it belong to company? I use Mysql 5.0.45 . and bbpress-0.9.0.4 . How can find the path about my database in Linux.
3, I don’t choose the Show Advanced Settings (default), it is still stuck step 1.
It is always (There was a problem connection to the database you specified. Please check the settings, then try again.)
Is it terrible to install it?
I take some days to install the bbpress forum software and still can’t pass step 1.
I have checked many topics at “install”, “installation” and “config.php” etc. in FORUMS and try it.
After read these topics, I was confused.
1. If I only need forum and don’t need blog. Do I need install WordPress?
2. Do I need to fill the Show Advanced Setting in step 1? I checked the bb-config-sample.php file, it prompt “If you are installing for the first time, leave them here.”
WP and bbPress are not integrated.
Registration is not required on my WP blog, so it does not send any emails at all.
We used to use some Perl classes with previous versions of bbPress engine to send emails, but after upgrading, we did not managed to configure them. So I want to see if there are any other ways to send emails.
I see you have WP on your site as well. Does it send emails when users register?
Do you have bbPress integrated with WP?
What version of bbPress are you running?
Yes, it is just for sending emails from my server.
It is not spam. Try to register on my forum http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/forums/index.php and you will not receive the registration email.
I’ve now uploaded a plugin for LaTeX support to the plugin page here at bbPress.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bblatex/
It should not require any configuration. Is it just not sending email from your server?
With thousands of posts in your forum, is this just spam or do you really have a problem with registration emails being sent?
Now I got an extra headache, my WP widget column disappeared.
I’m switching back waiting suggestions.
update: sorry, it was a wicked weather widget blockng sidebar, not PHP5 extention, but bbpress install problem remains
I just do not know where to read about it.
Cool — thanks for the ideas folks. The solutions seem a little out of my league. It is not a huge deal though. That functionality isn’t completely necessary.
Can this plugin be downloaded anywhere right now?
Any plans to update this plugin for the current version of bbPress?

This works for me!!
It’s a great script forum!
I’ve made some cusmotization, i can give you the url to see!
This is a great example of integration, login with WP and use BBPress for the profile and then log out through BBPress. I’m trying to copy the setup myself as it works well. If you ever read this then any info on your method would be very useful such as what plugins you use
Where did the automatic part come from?
I imagine you could create a script to create a forum automatically when there is a new movie posted, but this is not something that is built in to bbPress? This would be some custom stuff you’d need to do. It would be pretty neat.
For the older versions of bbPress, there was bbSync https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsync/ which would create a new topic in the forum for every WordPress post (I believe that’s how it worked.) You could do something similar (but create new forums for every new movie.
Sam, I think they mentioned “NOT for WP”.
To integrate 0.9.* with WordPress 2.5 and later, you should read this:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101#post-17409
That post has a lot of good information. I agree the documentation needs to be better.
支持中文吗?经过测试,这个程序支持中文!!很喜欢,I LIKE IT
Hi guyz,
I am working on a new website (php5/mysql5/apache). I have already installed bbPress in sub-directory on my website. What i am trying to do is to integrate my website’s user registration and login module to work with bbPress.
1) When user registers on my site, s/he automatically registers in bbPress too.
2) When user login on my site, s/he automatically login on bbPress too.
I have googled it but most of the topics are for bbPress & WP integration. I am sure this scenario must have happened to someone else before me
I just cant seem to find the solution. please help me.
TIA
If you are using bbPress 1.0-alpha you can use the “bbPress Live” plugin for WordPress.
You can safely create your own config by copying from bb-config-sample.php
You then ned to go back and complete the installation (which bbPress forces you to do).
Probably better to use your IP address or 127.0.0.1 as the hostname, but this is highly dependent on your Apache config.
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.
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.
