Thank you. Will try that

[Ganzuelo]

Tried to reinstall, deleted config first, no luck., deleted entire bbpress install., no luck.. I will try and fix tomorrow.

I just watched the basic integration screencast and tried integration again. I ran into some of the same problems mentioned above so I did a little testing.

1. Sam, thanks for the screencast.

2. Using a subdirectory of forums, and then making a WordPress Page called “Forums” with a slug of “forums” works just fine. The page will show up in your WordPress page menu like any other Page, but the real ‘forums’ subdirectory you installed bbPress into is what is displayed to visitors, NOT the content of the WordPress Page called “Forums.” I used to install a redirect plugin at WordPress to redirect the “Forums” Page to the http://example.com/forums/ real subdirectory, but I guess this works just fine like this. Good to know.

3. When using PHP4 (4.4.9) I encountered the “Forum could not be created!” error mentioned above. I thought it was possibly the MySQL version (which was 4.0.27 I believe) but it turned out that by using PHP5 (5.2.6) it installed fine, into the same database. I added this to my .htaccess file in the site root (for WordPress and bbPress):

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

That forced .php files to be processed as PHP5. I did that before installing WordPress. I confirmed with phpinfo that PHP5 was being used for both the blog and the forum. The 2nd time through (actually, the 3rd time, but that’s a different story), using PHP5, the forum was created properly.

After that, following the screencast pretty closely resulted in an installation where I can log in as Admin (key master) at either bbPress or WordPress, and I am logged in on the other side, as expected. Logging out of one logs me out of both. It’s what I expect user integration to be.

Waiting for the next screencast, Sam. Thanks.

p.s. Did I miss it, or is the NONCE key for bbPress never set in the video? I have one in wp-config.php, since the keys were generated by the WordPress.org API, but did I miss setting that in bbPress? Should I just make it the same as it is in bbPress? Will not having it prevent me from administering the forum or something? I didn’t test any functionality of the forum, just the logins.

I just got this same error on installation of Alpha 4 with WordPress 2.7 integration. I caused it by being logged out of WordPress when I clicked the link to my wp-admin/options.php that was displayed by bbPress (the one where bbPress tells you to look for the salts in the WP admin area.) In Sam’s screencast, he was logged in, so clicking the link just brought up the options page straight away.

Anyway, I was logged out of WordPress at that step, and when I clicked the link, I got the WordPress admin login, with a redirect URL that looked like this:

http://example.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fforums%2Fbb-admin%2Finstall.php%3Fstep%3D2

So, when I logged in, instead of redirecting me upon login to http://example.com/wp-admin/options.php, it redirected me to step 2 in the bbPress install. After that, I got the same exact error as you did. In fact, there were a couple more too.

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysqld.sock' (2) in /home/example/forums/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 123

I ended up reinstalling since I was not confident in the installation at that point and didn’t want to take any chances at something not being set properly.

[Ganzuelo]

bbpress live and bbpress intergration. I deactivated everything.. I think I might just delete the config file and start over again ughh..

[hotforwords]

I had to start a new topic as it said my previous topic was closed:

I did a fresh install on another website, this time combining both databases as described in the screencast someone did here on the forum, and this install is also not giving a role in WP when signed up to the forum or a role in the forum when registered in WP.

It is the same server, it is running PHP v5.2.6 and MYSQL v5.0.67-community

So it seems to be a problem on my whole server. Hmmmm…

Try the User Photo plugin. It is available for bbPress and WordPress:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/user-photo-for-bbpress/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-photo/

It worked easily for me. Just need to make the right settings – set the same paths to image folders and keep the original function calls to avatars if you want to use Gravatars when available.

[chrishajer]

How about undoing what you did and see if it works again? Sounds like whatever you did broke it somehow.

What are “both” bbPress plugins for WordPress?

[Ganzuelo]

I got alpha to work,. I then installed both bbpress plugins for wordpress. I went back to change user options in the bbpress admin panel and error messages came up.. goto http://willclan4food.net for details.. The error codes are popping up there

[marcoapaulo]

Hi everyone

My question is simple… I want to use the bbpress avatars on the wordpress comments page, so when a member is logged in and comment on wordpress, the page gets the avatar he’s using in bbpress. How can I do it?

Thank you

[chrishajer]

I see you’ve already asked here which is the proper location:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-ratings/page/2/

[Ganzuelo]

I am running the alpha and I was in the middle of the intergration and I got this error. Now I cannot log into my site. it wants me to register.,.

Hello,

I’ve been using bbPress for over a year now and it has been working fine until recently.

I received the following error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 92160 bytes)

I’m unsure of how to fix this error. If anyone can help that would be great.

[displayname]

I’ve tried to install bb-ratings on bbPress 1.0 (with the _ck_ replacement on line 205) but it doesn’t work. I tired it also on the stable bbPress 0.9 but that didn’t work either. I’m clueless where to start. I know it must be a good plugin and it also works on this site, so why doesn’t it work for me?

[gelincikonline]

WordPress : 2.7

bbPress : 1.0 Alpha 4

Can not login user, just login admin for bbPress.

[Ganzuelo]

I had the stable version 9.03? And I thought it was integrated with my word press. I then went to do the upgrade to the latest version and the Admin area was all screwy. I have the day off so I decided uh I can just start over, deleted word press, deleted bbpress I got wordpress back and now I cant get bbpress going.. i use vista Firefox and I am getting a loop redirect error and I cant get by it

[johnhiler]

_ck_ wrote a Super Search plugin that’s much more advanced than the normal search:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/super-search/

I haven’t tried it out yet but it looks pretty cool!

[hotforwords]

I am having a serious problem, when a person registers on WP, they get no role on BBPress and vice versa.

I have the role mapping set properly.

What I have different is that BBPress has its own database but gets the user info from the WP database.

Is this bad? If so, is there a way to move my bbpress database into the WP database?

Or.. can I just solve this no roles being assigned problem?

Thanks so much!

There was a recent discussion about how awful search is:

There was also an unrelated discussion that became related to search (at WordPress.org and bbPress.org):

Yea I have a similar problem. A sticky in a subforum (not sticky to front) makes the topic disappear from the subforum. It does still show up in the latest discussion on the frontpage. Can’t sticky posts in individual subforums though.

thanks for the reply Trent.

Can you just confirm that the user database that I’ve built up in bbPress will crossover to the WPMU? I’m sure I read somewhere that the users needed to come from the WP user table.

[Trent Adams]

WPMU 2.6.5 will have not integrate with bbPress 0.9.0.3. Anything past WP or WPMU 2.5 would need the 1.0 alpha series of bbPress to integrate properly. Of course, the risk is that they are not final versions of software packages. I actually use both WPMU 2.7 beta2 and bbPress 1.0 alpha 4 on a couple installs and works great, but there are always bugs.

Long story short, it would be safest to just stay with WPMU 2.6.5 and create a “2nd” install of bbPress with another database, (keeping your original one completely intact) and upgrade the “2nd” install to bbPress 1.0 alpha 4. If you find it works and integrates nicely with 2.6.5 for you then great. When WPMU 2.7 comes out it will also need the 1.0 series as well.

Jim Groom has a wonderful post that is also a good read on the integration side.

Good luck!

Generally what I do is just edit your template to change the code on register.php to just have the registration page either redirect to your wordpress registration or have a link on it. If you use the default theme, just copy it into /my-templates/ and edit the register.php file of your theme. That seems to be the easiest as it then never shows the bbPress registration form.

[Trent Adams]

This site has the forums run on bbPress and the Blog run with WordPress. The navigation and “look and feel” really is just done through the template that you decide to go with. Best part about bbPress is the templates generally are created with CSS so you can do whatever you want to do. bbPress and WordPress do integrate logins and cookies which is nice, but the design really is not that bad as well.
