I installed WordPress 2.7, along with BBpress 0.9.0.4.
Both my wordpress and bbpress use the same theme style.
However, the links in header and footer use permalink function get_page_link in WP. But this is not defined in bbpress.
Is there any way, we can fetch the permalinks defined for WP pages and display them on bbpress footer.
Any help will be grateful.
Hi all,
i’ve created a forum with bbpress version 1.0-alpha-6; my question is:
Is possible that the forum’s visitors can write on my forums without log in?
If it’s possible how can i do?
I’ve tried to find something like “write permissions” but i didn’t found it.
Can someone help me ??????
Thanks a lot
Can this reCaptcha plugin be modified to work with the anonymous posting plugin? I have a small forum that I’d like to allow anonymous users to post, but I’d like to use reCaptcha to avoid spam.
Hello,
i have just recently got bbpress alpha 6 to work with my installation of wordpress 2.7… just how long will it be until it is safe to move the integration to a live site?
thanks,
pvf
my line 2529 was blank so i replaced the nearest thing i could see that was similar to
return "<small> - <a href="/forum/profile.php?id=$tag->user_id">$poster</a></small> [<a href='$url' class='delete:$list_id:tag-{$tag->tag_id}_{$tag->user_id}' title='$title'>×</a>]";
now, either as a result of this or as a result of the updates described in this page:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/theme-template-files-to-change-for-10#post-23794
…my tag area no longer automatically reloads when a tag is added, even though the tag is committed to the db and can be seen if you reload the page. i am a bit worried that users are going to be confused by this. i bet i have replaced the wrong line, but i am not sure…
After some more digging, I’ve found that the perpetrator is the db_connect() function inside class.bpdb-multi.php. I don’t understand why that file should be in use on a non-multi WP/bbPress installation, but either way it’s that file that does the offensive db_connect_host() call with erroneous credentials, host, etc.
What’s really weird is that the front page of bbPress works, while opening a topic yields the “Access denied for user ‘admin’@’localhost’ (using password: YES)” error message. Why would class.bpdb-multi.php be in use on a topic page but not on the front page? Makes no sense.
I’m having the same problem and it seems that the WP integration for whatever mysterious reason forces the MySQL connection into “localhost” mode. I’ve configured both WP and bbPress to connect to another MySQL host, but still it seems like bbPress is trying to connect to “localhost”.
I added a print_r($args) inside the db_connect_host() function and found that the function is called twice and the first time the credentials, host, etc., are correct and the second time they aren’t. The second time the function is called, the credentials are for some reason set to the ones of the logged in user. So somewhere in the bbPress code, authentication is done not with the values stored in bb-config.php, but with the username and password of what’s stored in the session cookie and the host is then set to “localhost”.
I don’t know how to investigate this problem any further.
I’ve searched the forum and haven’t found an answer to my question. I apologize if it’s been answered somewhere else.
I have just installed bbPress and it works beautifully. The only thing I haven’t been able to figure out is how to create an “Important Notice.” Can anyone help?
Thanks!

I think this “connected/same template” stuff between bbpress and wpress should be discussed when its time. And for me, the time is when bbpress 1.0 final is coming out!
To this point, i think design integration is our own job!
i successfully integrated bbpress in my wp-design
Yes, probably. You can see if that’s the problem by logging in as keymaster and going to the Admin section, then Settings > General (sometimes this is the URL http://wat2.com/bb-admin/options-general.php). Once there, change “Pretty Permalink Type” to “None” and then try your forum. If your forum is usable after that, then yes, it’s because bbPress is trying to use permalinks, but you have not set up the .htaccess file with rewrite rules.
You can create the rewrite rules by accessing this URL in your forum:
http://wat2.com/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php
Now, take the output from that browser window and paste it into a .htaccess file in the forum root (/home/web/htdocs/whatever/wat2/.htaccess) on your server. Once that’s done, change the permalink setting back to one of the other two options (Numeric or Name based) and then try accessing topics and the profile page in your forum.
https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks
(I don’t recommend the Options +MultiViews line, but that does work for some people instead of creating the rewrite rules in the browser). Be sure you’re logged in as keymaster before you try to access http://wat2.com/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php or it won’t work.
Sorry to spam the forum., but just wanted to provide this info that I realize there was no .htacess file in the BBpress folder I downloaded..Could that be the problem?
Hi
I just created a brand new BBPress forum (thanks Automattic, this is such an excellent piece of software compared to other forum scripts!). However, I wanted to click on the profile page and edit my password,etc..But when I click on profile (my admin profile or a member profile id that i created), it simply shows the website homepage..
I guess I have missed uploading some page or something. can you please help! Thanks a lot..
Just upgraded the whole she-bang to BuddyPress with integrated bbPress. Phew! New theme to boot, with some new bbPress theme updates in the works.
That’s a fair question, John. Blog apps are great if you want a place for a few privileged people to talk about what’s on their minds. Blog apps are not so great at managing discussions and comments from readers. Forum apps are great managing users and discussions. I considered dropping WordPress for bbPress altogether, but bbPress (and most forum apps) lacks many of the other features I want; listing of posts with full or summary text on the front page, image management, static pages, related posts plugins, etc.
How do people maintain and track their own conversations on the blogs they visit? Outside of third-party services like CoComment, it’s very laborious. Bookmark each page you post a comment on? I guess that works.
Really I’m just looking for a way to encourage discussion and make it easier for people to stay involved. You’re right, maybe I need to rethink my strategy altogether.
I did a little more searching and found a WordPress plugin that does almost exactly what I want with Vanilla: Janine for Vanilla
ipstenu: it was this http://ciarang.com/posts/mediawiki-with-wordpress and some adjustments:
1. I installed wordpress on /blog and mediawiki on /wiki and bbpress on /talk
-> for this I added an absolute path with the line $WP_relpath=’/var/www/html/krcla/blog’; and set the cookies to point to the root folder
2. some others that I can’t remember at this point..
The result is that MediaWiki ends up being somewhat heavier than a plain mediawiki, but by redirecting both bbPress and MediaWiki logins to WordPress, I get a single WordPRess login action -> logged in WordPress, bbPress, and two MediaWikis!
I’ve got this plugin up to something testable and releaseable. v0.21
Description
Enable BuddyPress group forum features in bbPress.
BuddyPress has three types of groups. Public, Private and Hidden. In all three cases users must be members of a group to participate in group forum conversations.
These two plugins modify a standard bbPress forum installation to allow BuddyPress group members to carry on discussions in bbPress.
BuddyPress public groups will be read only in bbPress. Anyone wishing to participate in a public group discussion must be a member of that group in bp.
BuddyPress private and hidden groups will be hidden in bbPress. Only members of these groups will see the forums and be able to participate.
BuddyPress group admins and mods have moderator privileges in bbPress. The moderator role is restricted to their group forum.

Hi there,
Question for all of you. I am currently using wordpress and bbpress for a forum and I want to know if its possible to transfer members/posts over from WP/BBPress to a PHPBB message board? I don’t know a ton about databases as far as back end coding etc, but I wonder if its possible and how easy/hard it would be to make it work?
Thanks for any information,
Adam
BBpress available as a install with wordpress and use the same template, if its made by the same people.
its a pain trying to look for a good template for both
i have spent some time now analyzing the code of bbpress and wordpress.
it seems to me that an update of the old bbpress code (version 0.9.0.4) is unfeasable, because sam already managed to succesfully integrate version 1.0 with wordpress 2.7.1
all you have to do in order to use bbpress alpha with the recent versions of wordpress is to follow the bbpress installation instructions and it will work out of the box.
there is still some work to be done. as far as i can tell, bbpress and wordpess use multiple cookies for multiple paths. the one they share is the one for the root path. so… if you login into wordpress, you won’t be logged in into bbpress admin section. this does not happen the other way arround.
it is not recomended though to use the alpha version in production sites. for now, it seems that a downgrade of wordpress would be the best solution.
Got BBpress and WordPress set up for a small school in Alaska. Almost ZERO customization (outside colors) since I just started using both WordPress and BBpress a month ago and I don’t know my butt from my elbow. But I have big grandiose ideas that hopefully will see the light of day (if my brain can ever absorb all of this).
I’m just happy they are both integrated with the user tables and (log–in/outs) are working perfectly. The school is happy so far too. Yay!

I always scratch my head at this one and ask myself “what’s the point?”
Not trying to sound like an ass, but I really do not understand why.
Logically I think to myself that if you really want it to work that way, then why even use WordPress at all? Just use bbPress and have a forum sans all the blogginess.
I have the same question. The latest mod post regarding bbSync said “it’s broken right now.” Any other options?
Ideally, I would like a new WordPress post to create a new forum topic and for all comments to be handled by bbPress. Possible?
i am running wp 2.7 and bbpress alpha 6 with no issues… not really sure how i did it, but i’ll help if i can…
