Hi,
I don’t know what I’m doing, really, but I followed the instructions to integrate bbpress with wp; they are on 2 separate databases, so I did the advanced config option …
After updating the settings I was logged out, and when I attempted to log back in as my bbpress info, I got the below error … I am also not able to login using my wp admin login, I got the same error but with that login name instead.
Any thoughts? Please provide as specific instructions as possible 
Many thanks
bbPress database error: [Table ‘bizref_bbpress.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT ID FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘allaboutdarien’
bbPress database error: [Table ‘bizref_bbpress.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘allaboutdarien’
I seem to be having the admin login problem as well. I checked the salt settings and they match. I think this is a problem with the login integration. When I login to wordpress first I can post comments to bbpress but that is about it. The bbpress logout button is broken and wordpress doesn’t seem to recognize bbpress-originated logins.
It certainly is close though. I’ll dive into the code to see if I can’t figure it out.
Hi,
How can I make bbpress allow apturl (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptUrl) links?
For example, this doesn’t generate the proper link:
http://pastebin.com/m6e2158be (had to pastebin as bbpress converts)
By the way, once we do get this working, you’ll need to add these three rules to the .htaccess in /Forum/ because bbPress’s rule generator is not complete (and for my plugin to work)
RewriteRule ^topic/?$ /Forum/ [R=302,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^forum/?$ /Forum/ [R=302,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^page/([0-9]+)/?$ /Forum/?page=$1 [L,QSA]
(put them just before </IfModule>)
Hi,
bbpres 0.9.0.2
Im exhausted looking for a solution so i post, after a clean install in hostgator, when I click on Latest Discussions ADD NEW link, while not logged, I get a link similar as:
http://www.domain.com/forum/bb-login.php?re=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.domain.com%2Fforum%2F%3Fnew%3D1
and after clicking on it: I got a WordPress 404 not found page.
I have tried adding and .htaccess in my bbpress directory with Options +MultiViews
I have turned off-on pretty permalinks,
I have installed a wordpress 404 fixer plugin,
But nothing works,
Only if is logged a user the ADD NEW link works.
Please helpme I am on a deadline weekend.
best regards
monica
It will indirectly fix the problem with page numbers.
Doesn’t actually fix the bbPress internal issue but avoids it instead. I still don’t understand why I can’t reproduce the error on my installs.
You are probably getting an internal server error because of a conflict with a rule in the root htaccess. Make sure you don’t still have the old rewrite rules in the root one. You can also post that root htaccess here for me to look at. Be sure to put it between code backticks.
I have the same exact same problem with wp 2.6.3 and bbpress 1.0-alpha, divided db but integrated login and cookie.
I guess it could be solved by making all login throgh bbpress but it’s annoying.
You need to make sure the .htaccess is in /Forums/ and not the root of the entire site. Your host’s directory structure is a little strange but I don’t think it will interfere with mod_rewrite.
There is a possibility that there is a rule in the root .htaccess that is interfering the lower .htaccess. But let’s first make sure it’s in the correct directory.
By the way:
/Forum/topic/forum-guidelines-please-read
is correct.
/Forum/forum-guidelines-please-read/
is wrong.
bbPress needs to know that the string following is a topic, otherwise it doesn’t know what to do with it (it might be a forum). /Forum/forum/forum-name is also legit.
I just moved WordPress and bbPress to a new host. Everything is working fine with both apps except I can no longer log into bbPress with my WP account and the posts using the BBpress Latest Discussions plugin are no longer displaying.
The bb-config.php file is configured correctly because the forum posts are displaying. Is there an .htaccess file elsewhere than the root that’s missing? Is it a permission issue?
Any clue what I’m missing?
Thanks,
Gio
The rewrite rules are correct to add the topic and forum in the URI. If it didn’t, bbPress would not know based on the permalink if you were talking about a topic of a forum. So, that part of it is correct. You have another issue causing the permalinks to not work for the forum. Maybe a .htaccess file one directory up?
Hmm that’s a really strange problem that I am going to have to explore a bit later.
You are using the final copy of the plugin correct?
And you didn’t modify it at all?
Even though I can’t reproduce the problem on my copies of bbPress, this may be an internal bug since I can workaround the issue by doing this (note the ?& )

ps. the best way to do pretty-permalinks is to use the .htaccess method with “rewrite” where you have to copy and paste the rules that bbPress offers here:
http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/bb-admin/Forum/rewrite-rules.php
Once you do that, then you have to turn on the option in your bb-config.php
Hi _ck_ – thanks for helping.
Here is a link from the front page to a topic:
http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic.php?id=43
I reported it working because the numbers showed up exactly how I wanted to see them, but I’m embarrassed to say that I didn’t actually “click” on the numbers at that point to be sure they actually worked correctly.
I didn’t change the plugin in any way. It does work perfectly on the other pages – the individual forum list of topics (forum.php) and the topic itself with the posts (topic.php)……I only get this error if I click on the additional page numbers on the front page.
(p.s. – I would LIKE to use pretty permalinks, but have not been able to get that working, even after reading everything I could find here on the subject and trying all of the suggestions – I’m hoping a future version of bbPress will fix this issue, but for now I’m stuck with the ugly permalinks)
I have bbPress 0.9.0.2 fully integrated with WP 2.5.1 using shared DB and tables. Everything seems to be working fine, except that when users register on bbPress they are shown as having “no role for this blog” on the WP side.
Role mapping defined in bbPress is: WP-Administrator==bb-Administrator, WP-Editor==bb-Moderator, WP-Author==bb-Member, WP-Contributor==bb-Member, WP-Subscriber==bb-Member.
I was expecting somemone who signs up to bbPress (with the default Member role) to be given Subscriber status in WP. I can see that there is an ambiguity as to which WP role should be chosen for a bbPress Member, but I guessed the one with lowest privilege, i.e. Subscriber, would apply.
Chrishajer: Thanks for helping out. I have tried clearing the cache and I’ve tried both IE7 and FF3, doesnt change anything.
Regarding the path, line 41 says:
require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);
I have tried using this instead:
require_once(‘/var/www/www.zulan.se/wp-blog-header.php’);
And then the error goes away, but as soon as I press the “Admin” link next to my login name and Log Out it just takes me back to the first bbpress page located at http://www.zulan.se/bbpress/
OK, I guess I should modify that last posting. I now have tabs off to the right called “Profile”, “Edit” and “Favorites”. I still don’t see any WordPress integration section of the bbPress admin area, however.
Zulan: this error says you have the path to the file wrong in your bb-config.php.
Warning: require_once(../wp-blog-header.php)
[function.require-once]: failed to open stream:
No such file or directory in

What path do you have listed to wp-blog-header.php on line 41 in your bb-config.php?
Core hacks would not be needed for this, just special views and filters. The same way my hidden-forums plugin works, you could make topics available or hidden based on location.
Do you really want to track at the POST level or rather the TOPIC level which would create far less data to churn through?
There is already someone using bbPress for a travel agency of sorts with dozens of destinations all linked together. Each city is like a forum in itself. I remember it well because it was very difficult to filter out the dozens of pseudo-forums from the top1000 list.
I’ve installed this on three sites so far and have the following issues:
1. I don’t have the admin setting that is in the file that comes up with the link on the integration settings page for wp. If it isn’t there how am I supposed to give the setting to bbpress? I was able to find everything else. That setting isn’t in any of the three WP-MU sites I’ve installed bbpress alpha 2 on. They’re all using 2.6.2 or 2.6.3.
2. As keymaster, I cannot undelete a thread. I just get an error saying “An unidentified error has occurred.”
3. The “new topic” link is active even when no one is logged in. This link shouldn’t appear if no one is logged in. I normally get a 404 error page when I click on it without being logged in.
4. One one site, I couldn’t start a thread. as soon as it was submitted, I was told it was deleted or moderated or something like that.
Hi,
I was wondering whether there’s a plug in which creates a new forum topic in bbPress and links to it everytime I post a new WordPress post?
This has three plus points:
-Forums are a more organized/structured system than a blog comments system
-In addition to being a comments system, users can also start their own threads
-Topics per post encourages users to join the forums/register at your site
Here’s an example of how it’s done (WP + PHPBB topics per post plugin)
http://www.alfredodehoces.com/wp2bb/
I hope there’s a WP + BBP version of that plugin.
I have the exact same problem, luckily the site isn’t online yet, but I really need wordpress 2.6.x and bbpress to work together..
Anyone know when they are planning to bring out a (more) stable version of bbpress 1?
If you have a large number of members, this is a positively guaranteed way to get your server IP banned by most major email services like gmail, hotmail, yahoo and aol.
What is your advice to send a newsletter to 10.000 bbpress forum members?
Nah, still didnt work. If I dont use require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’); I cant get to the admin page, it just redirects to the bbpress frontpage. And if I use it, I get:
Warning: require_once(../wp-blog-header.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/www.zulan.se/bbpress/bb-config.php on line 41
