If I add

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

define('COOKIEPATH', '');

to my wp-config file, I can’t log in at all. But other than that, yes. Those directions are mostly the same as these, except for the sitecookie hack.

[mzimmers]

Hi –

I’m trying to install the current alpha version of bbpress. In step 2, I’ve selection the option to add cookie integration settings (since I’d like shared login with my WordPress site (version 2.6.3 of WP).

The installer is asking for “salts”; the explanation is:

<i>This must match the value of the WordPress setting named “auth_salt” in your WordPress installation. Look for the option labeled “auth_salt” in this WordPress admin page. If you leave this blank the installer will try to fetch the value based on your WordPress database integration settings.</i>

I have no idea what this auth_salt is. A text search of my WP directory reveals a reference to it, but no definition. And, I’m not sure what the directions mean by “WordPress admin page,” but I can’t find anything in there about this either.

Any idea what’s going on? Thanks.

[John James Jacoby]

Curious if you’ve tried the steps in my wp2.7 topic? It should essentially be the same as with 2.6.3 and everything works pretty well other than the wp header integration.

[John James Jacoby]

I never understand how responses like that work.

You make it sound like somehow you’ve been inconvenienced by us or by bbPress…

[chrishajer]

There is no plugin to do that with bbPress that I know of. You didn’t actually ask about that initially either. To put bbPress info in your WordPress sidebar, with 1.0-alpha, bbPress Live is great.

The closest thing for you with version 0.9.0.2 is bbSync. bbPress live is for the 1.0 versions.

I just wiped out my old attempt at installation and started over.

I downloaded the bbpress directory structure, created a bb-config.php file and populated it with the stuff from my wp-config.php file. I then uploaded it, and tried to initiate the install, but I get error messages.

In short, I think I’ve taken a step backward.

Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong here?

Any clue on what the RewriteCond code for this would be? I’ve been trying to look this up but haven’t found anything yet.

If this is about WordPress, you might want to post over at WordPress.org support. If this is about bbPress, please explain more and post contact information for yourself. Then we will close this topic.

Admittedly, I couldn’t get BBPress-Live to work (I wanted to include recent forum posts on my WP front page), but I figured it may be worth a shot Good luck!

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Okay, I did some testing of

$bb->wp_home = 'http://ipstenu.org'; and $bb->wp_home = 'http://ipstenu.org/bblog'; and ffft.

So. This doesn’t really bother me much, since I don’t mind people double-logging in. It’s only annoying in the realm of I hate when code doesn’t work right!

WP 2.6.3, BP 1.0-alpha-2

bb-config

// WordPress cookie integration speedup

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://jorjafox.net/blog';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://jorjafox.net';

$bb->cookiedomain = '.jorjafox.net';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->authcookie = 'wordpress_DELETED';

$bb->secure_auth_cookie = 'wordpress_sec_DELETED';

$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_';

$bb->admin_cookie_path = '/forums/bb-admin';

$bb->core_plugins_cookie_path = '/forums/bb-plugins';

$bb->user_plugins_cookie_path = '/forums/my-plugins';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '/';

$bb->wp_admin_cookie_path = '/blog/wp-admin';

$bb->wp_plugins_cookie_path = '/blog/wp-content/plugins';

// End integration speedups

WP-config

// Cookies

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.jorjafox.net');

define('COOKIEPATH', '/' );

I’ve also tried with no cookie settings in my wp-config. Right now it’s commented out. It’s sharing the admin cookie, since I can get into WP-admin if I log in with BBpress, but I don’t show up as a user (if I go to make a comment, it gives me the screen anon users see). If I log in via WP, I’m only logged into WP.

[chrishajer]

Which versions of WordPress and bbPress are you installing?

Does this thread help at all?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-10-alpha-2-released/page/2

[mzimmers]

What notes are you referring to? The inline notes in step 2 for the “WordPress cookie secret key” say:

This value must match the value of the constant named “SECRET_KEY” in your WordPress wp-config.php file. This will replace the bbPress cookie secret key set in the first step.

The inline notes for the WordPress database secret say:

This must match the value of the WordPress setting named “secret” in your WordPress installation. Look for the option labeled “secret” in this WordPress admin page. If you leave this blank the installer will try to fetch the value based on your WordPress database integration settings.

Am I missing another source of notes? These don’t tell me what I need to know. Thanks…

I disabled registration in bbpress. All users are created when they signup for a blog.

And to fix the other issue with member roles not being set: Drop this in the mu-plugins folder with a .php extension.

function wpmu_bbpress_roles( $user_id )  {

update_usermeta($user_id, 'bb_capabilities', array('member' => true));

return;

}

add_action('wpmu_new_user', 'wpmu_bbpress_roles');

[chrishajer]

If you read the screen very carefully during the bbPress installation, it will tell you exactly which key to put where, and where to get the SALTs that are not listed in wp-config.php.

[chrishajer]

You can install bbPress in the same database as WordPress, it will use a table prefix of bb_ by default. It’s actually recommended to use the same database if you’re going to try integration at some point. So, there’s no need to create a new database, just use the connection details for the database you use for WordPress and ensure the table prefixes are different. By default, WordPress uses wp_ and bbPress uses bb_.

[chrishajer]

I think the bbPress Live WordPress plugin will do what you want.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-live/

“bbPress Live allows the display of information from

a bbPress 1.0 forum from inside a WordPress blog.”

BBsync and BBpressLive is as close as I know how to get, lorenzo

Hi –

I just attempted to install a .9 release of bbPress, then realized it’s not compatible with WP 2.6.3. How can I uninstall bbPress before giving the alpha version a go?

Thanks…

[John James Jacoby]

or just because I upload bbpress to directory /bbpress/?

That is exactly why.

[bigcanoe]

fixed. after set the forum url to the default http://…/bbpress/. it works. why ? we can’t change it? or just because I upload bbpress to directory ‘/bbpress/’ ?

[AminSanaei]

Hi, I have a weblog that powered by wordpress in these address http://www.caspiantools.ir, add I install bbpress in these address http://www.forum.caspiantools.ir successfully. Can you see me a plugin that show my 10 or 15 last forum posts in side bar on my blog theme? I use Persian language in my forum, and it must to be right to left, what can I do for RTLing?

[bigcanoe]

Hi ,

I just installed bbpress 1.0-alpha-2 with wordpress 2.6.3, but not intergete with wordpress. the installation is very smooth. but when I access my forum, got Http 404 error(page not found). and my server supports permalink . following is my bb-config.php, please help to take a look.thanks a lot.

I vaguely remember there is an undocumented switch in bbPress to reverse the order if I am not mistaken.

Otherwise, try this:

I am trying to install the bbpress tool. I am not very skilled at what I am doing, kind of learn as you go. I have a site vuuch.com and a wp blog at vuuch.com/wordpress. I now want to install bbpress. I have downloaded the install, extracted it and copied to /forum. When i go there I am asked a bunch of things I am not real sure about. This is where I am stuck. My wp blog was installed using godday app installer, so I was removed from so details…

I get “There doesn’t seem to be a bb-config.php file. This usually means that you want to install bbPress” which I think is normal. There is a bb-config-sample.php file at the location.

Questions:

What is the database it is looking for? My guess is i either point it at the wp db or create another one. I would like to create another, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO THIS???

If there are other things I will need to know on the next few step, please point them out.

I think I need to use something call c-panel to create the db but I am not sure nor do I know how to run this…

Thanks so much
