Thank you so much! Another question, is there a way to delete bbPress from the hot tags?
Hi!
I have an old issue with bbpress-wppress integration that I can’t solve.
I use this wp-plugin to sanitize user names;
Insensitive
What this plugin does is that whenever a user registered as “Joe” tries to log in as “joe”, “jOe”… can login.
However bbpress is not compatible with this plugin, when activited bbpress reports this error;
Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in 
wampwwwwordpresswp-includesformatting.php on line 453
In formatting.php line 453 obviously we have wordpress function sanitize_user and it seems bbpress doesn’t like to have this function modified.
I just wanted to ask if anybody knows another way to sanitize usernames because it is a pain to have all the time people complainig that they can log in because they registered as “Joe” and try to access with “joe” 
See this: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adjust-size-of-hot-tags
(I added ‘hot tags’ as a tag to it, since that seemed logical)
Hi!
I’m giving a try to a deep integration. I want to load bbpress in my wordpress theme so I have a modified bbpress kamukei where I load wp header, sidebar and footer.
I installed bbpress 1.04a, I activated the new plugin, edited wp-config.php as plugin required, I founded that all this still didn’t load wp header and I modified bbpress bb-config.php with;
define('WP_BB', true);
if ( !defined('DB_NAME') ) {
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wp-config.php');
}
Now, it seems everything works ok; bbpress loads wp-header, I have access to bbpress control panel, both, admin and users can post, I can log out… I’m going to keep my beta-testing and I’ll further report but I think Sam did it so CONGRATULATIONS.
I’m not sure that I’ll want to load bbpress functions into wordpress so far because what I need is all the contrary; to load wordpress into bbpress so I can have a very simple and integrated forum. However, having the bbpress control panel integrated into the wordpress panel would be great.
The idea of bbpress as a plugin is very nice but Sam is totally right when he stated that we have a stronger foundation as a stand alone. Perhaps that little plugin as a “bridge” is the way to go.
Because bb-rating has display on post(I saw from wordpress.org plugin page). But wp-postrating, I don’t know how to display star pics(just display star can’t give score.), cause I want rating star show index page that visitor can see but can’t give score.
ok, I would try wp-postrating again.
Okay, I made a ‘double’ cookie by doing this: $bb->sitecookiepath = '/blog/'; but it still won’t let me be logged into BOTH at once. Grr. I can be logged into WP and WPAdmin, or BB and BBAdmin and WPAdmin, but never BB and WP 
If I don’t modify the bb-config file, I can’t log in at all to bbPress. Am I the only one who has WordPress loaded in a subdirectory, with the index kicking back to the main root? That’s about the only thing I have left to try and I really don’t want to screw up my permalinks.
Of possible relevance, the logged_in cookie never gets removed from my cookie jar on Firefox when I log out of bbPress OR WordPress.
Edit: Or maybe I’m just a frackin’ idiot.
I repasted in the Auth Keys and now it’s working… Dude. I keep telling people at work that the average IQ drops 50 points between Thanksgiving and New Years (which is how I explain people making boneheaded mistakes). The new guy asked ‘Does that mean us to?’ and I said “Of course! Watch, you’ll make the stupidest, most obvious screw up in your life in a week or so.” Today was mine, apparently.
I’m going to hang my head in shame.
It might be worth noting that in my working version, I have not modified either of the -config.php files other than what the WP plug-in states. Basically I did not modify the bb-config.php with what the admin integration speed up thing asked me to. I never could get that manual stuff working right.
configure the WordPress plugin and also follow it’s instructions to modify the wp-config.php file in WordPress.
Did that.
Further to this, you should clear out any manual settings you have made to bb-config.php in bbPress and re-check your settings in the “WordPress integration” page in bbPress admin.
Did that.
Then clear all your cookies and retest.
Did that (went in to Firefox’s cookies and after logging out, whacked everything from my domain).
Result: Login is not shared as I think it should be.
If I login on bbPress I can get into my WordPress admin area, but I do not show up as logged in on the WordPress ‘regular’ side. If I go to comment, it says I’m not logged in.
Also, if I have this line in, I can’t log in to both at the same time:
$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_<long string>';
I think clearly something’s wrong on my end, but damned if I can sort out what!
EDIT!
I watched my cookies as I logged into bbPress after being logged into WordPress.
WordPress makes two entries for wordpress_logged_in_<long string>! Both have ‘Domain’ of .domain.net, and then path of / and /blog/
bbPress has one entry and it has Host of domain.net (no leading . ) and path of /
I fixed the host/domain part by setting $bb->cookiedomain = '.domain.net'; but I’m pretty convinced this double existence of the logged_in cookie is what’s screwing me up.
@the_Wish:
Are you using a subdomain of some kind?
Alright I figured it out now for my case.
In wp-config.php I had to add both lines
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.domain.com');
define('COOKIEPATH', '/');
as opposed to just
define('COOKIEPATH', '/');
which the WP Plugin suggests to do.
The WP Integration Settings in the bbP Admin section got this part right but not the Plugin Settings in WP.
Anyways it’s working now all the way. Great achievement Sam!
Are you trying to use bbRatings with WordPress? Why?
What you thing about https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-postratings/
Ah I didn’t think of handling
But I thought bbpress allowed htmlentities. Maybe only some of them.
Having Google Alerts set up to tell you when your company gets mentioned is a pretty standard PR move these days.
There is probably one or two people at GoDaddy who look at all these and then route them to sales or service or whatever.
If they follow through I’ll be impressed then, not enough to use their service, but still.
I’d rather not fork bbPress to create a plugin version but I would be interested in seeing a plugin created for WordPress that basically loaded bbPress into WordPress for you. johnjames is right about having to keep our integration options open beyond a simple plugin.
Also, perhaps you missed the announcements about full integration returning in the recent alpha versions?
vannak, let me know what happens.
Chris, I see webhosting companies visit websites that deal with webhosting all the time, it’s possible GoDaddy hired a PR firm to scan websites for talk about them. Given the amount of competition for hosting, it’s very likely.
If you google their IP, you’ll notice that GD person looks for “godaddy sucks” and shows up to post things like “will look into it” so this is PR at it’s cleverest. They really are on godaddy ISP though in Arizona so it’s legit (or a offshore group hired to use GoDaddy as a proxy).
I justed upload bb-rating folder to wordpress site, WordPress Plugin can activated.
But I don’t know how to use it or the plugin can’t working.
Looks like cross integrating the bb-load.php file into wp-config.php breaks the WP admin styling completely. It causes the header to output all funky and out of order. Trying to track it down now, but for the time being don’t try it! Yikes! Haha!
@David:
I’ve thought about this, and tossed it around in my mind for the past few weeks. I think that for us right now, it would make sense to do things this way, since we’re only really familiar with WordPress, and then bbPress. There are a few other products that Automattic has, such as WordPress MU, BuddyPress, and BackPress, that also will need to have a way to integrate around each other and any random installation combination of them.
With that being said, from a bbPress users perspective, it might almost make more sense to have WordPress MU be a plug-in for bbPress, giving each individual user their own WordPress type blog. This would use bbPress as the core installation, and include another application inside itself.
You can see that with so many products and possibilities, the fact that Sam has enlightened us with a working bbPress/WordPress dedicated integration solution using bbp1.0alpha4 is pretty awesome.
I’m going to do my best to make a plug-in like you’ve mentioned, to add a bbPress menu in the WordPress admin panel, and allow editing of the bbPress settings. I think that again, right now, a majority of the bbPress audience is going to lean towards that as a next logical step. Eventually however, BuddyPress and BackPress will probably be the future for all of us.
Your points are valid, and I think many of us here feel the same, just rest assured that the devs are listening and busting their butts to make things work together the best way they can.
This looks awesome! I am going to try it out tomorrow… I noticed that some nbsp’s were being “encoded” in my bbPress installs tonight, and was wondering how I was gonna strip them out. Looking forward to trying this out .
Will report back with results.
Hello David!
A fully integrated version of bbPress 1.0 is being tested here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-10-alpha-4-released
If you can help out with the testing, that would be great!

Do you know what transport is being used on the broken installations?
wp_remote_get() now uses the HTTP API library, which is supposed to try different ways of retrieving a remote HTTP resource. It is possible that the method the problem server is selecting to use looks like it is valid to WPMU but in fact isn’t for some configuration reason.
Beyond that I really can’t help without more specifics about your setup, mainly what transport method the HTTP API is using.
Sounds like a bug to me, please report it in Trac http://trac.bbpress.org
