Hi,
I have integrated WordPress and bbPress. They both share the same table for users. I can login in to a user in the database from both WordPress and bbPress. SO they are correctly sharing the same user table. However, when I login as a user for the blog and then click on the forum then click to post in the forum it asks me to log in. I imagine it has something to do with cookies. I have gone through the docs on integration and the post by _CK_ but nothing has made it work yet.
Please help me identify the problem. If you want I can post the config files for both WordPress and bbPress.
awesome – thanks for the replies!
the other thing i considered was perhaps there is a hack to get 2.7 (which looks and feels a whole lot better than 2.5 for me) working with the 0.9 series of bbpress? as far as i can see only the login cookies break when you integrate 2.7 with 0.9 and maybe this wouldn’t be too difficult to fix? perhaps easier than having to re-hash all the plugins that work great with 0.9 but break with the alpha?
thanks,
Dan
“UPDATE: These steps are valid for previous version of BBPress. May not work with WP 2.6.X and BBpress Alpha”
how to make sessions outside bbpress with wp 2.7 and bbpress 1.0 alpha6 ?
bye
the easiest way to deal with this may be to add a rel=”nofollow” to user urls.
Have a look at this:

@circuit – I had the same problem when importing the wordpress header. It is not recommended to import wordpress as it causes unexpected errors like the one you have seen. It is advised to use plugins to replicate wordpress functionality – although I have not seen one to date.
At the moment I am faking my wordpress theme in bbpress.
I presume future versions of bbpress will allow deeper integration.
Approve User Registration plugin works for the 0.9* series of bbPress:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/approve-user-registration/
I might be asking too much at this early stage …
* We need *all* user registrations to be approved by admin or a moderator.
* New users should have posting permissions in BBPress, but not the WordPress it is integrated with (unless those permissions have been explicitly granted by admin).
* Posting permissions in WordPress are granted by admin only after seeing evidence that the user is both responsible and competent to do so.
* It is easy to require admin approval of new WordPress users, but we would prefer all registrations to be through BBPress (there is no ‘register’ link on our WordPress).
Right now we are using WordPress 2.7, so we don’t have full integration yet. But it would be nice to think we might be able to work with our users in this way eventually.
Do you think we could add some custom meta data to bbPress standard HTML to report this stuff in a machine readable way for them?

I heard about this before, but no ticket was created.
bbPress is supposed to merge in it’s language file into the existing array of languages from bbPress. Of course, that may not be happening as planned.
Can you create a ticket with links to the language files you are using? http://trac.bbpress.org
Yes, you just have to redirect everything from WP to BB. I do that on my site.
Thanks to Sam for these lines, I can use the $wpdb object in bbpress which is really great !
if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
include_once( '/Full/Path/To/wp-load.php' );
}
Unfortunately there is a serious drawback as it breaks the translation of bbpress. The fr_FR.mo seems to have no effect with these line.
Could you please help ?
Bel sito! Hai tolto il il form di registrazione di bbpress e non hai messo il link al pannello di controllo di wordpress, vero ? L’edit del profilo in pratica lo fai solo dal forum.
a me piacerebbe che gli utenti che commentano registrati abbiano un link al loro profilo, poi forse userei Gravatar per accoppiare gli avatar del forum con quelli dei commenti.
ti ho mandato una mail dal form del sito per uno scambio di link. bye
Do you think is it possible disable login for subscriber and the registration form of wordpress and use only bbpress for login/registration/edit profile ? i don’t have bbpress installed at the moment, but i don’t want two registration form, two login form, a wp panel and the edit profile of bbpress.
thanks
FYI, this works in trunk now:
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1930
Tom, is your bad email an account that’s being used by someone else? Can you change it to ‘foo@bazoo.com’?
Yes, alpha and WordPress 2.7.
With the Flash upload bug though, can’t you just use IE7 or the browser upload, and then integrate WordPress 2.5.x and the 0.9.x series of bbPress?
I have tested with Alfa 2+. There was some changes in DB structure. bb_meta is one of them. It’s time for (
)
NOTE 2: this script is compatible with trunk
If your database size is not a big problem you can wait for next bbpress version.
Hiya,
I’ve come across a problem – i’m having to pick between the flash upload bug in 2.5 RC1 and the fact that cookies don’t work for the RC1+ wp integration.
can anyone help me resolve this? how are people dealing with this? I’m not averse to hacking a solution either way if necessary.
i need to use WP/BBpress on a heavily customised client based implementation so am guessing that the alpha implementation with 2.7 isn’t the way to go?
Thanks
Dan
Yeah they do that for vbulletin and phpbb too, so I suspect it’s a problem they have to work out.
This is not possible with bbPress as far as I know. bbPress does not live within WordPress or on a WordPress page. It’s not a plugin for WordPress. You can integrate bbPress to get single sign-on (shared logins) between bbPress and WordPress, and you can have access to WordPress functions in bbPress, so you can use get_footer(), get_sidebar(), get_header(), etc. But, it doesn’t work they way you are describing.

Version of bbPress?
Integration with WordPress y/n?
Google’s counter appears to be capped by the number of posts per page, in my case 20.
For example, the first result here shows “20 posts”, yet the topic runs to almost 400.
Google is probably still sorting out the algorithm.
Because templates can be customized endlessly, it’s hard to find patterns sometimes.
You’ll notice it only appears on some topics, not all:

I don’t believe there is a definite date.
