Yes, wp-config.php is on the root, bb-config.php is off the root in a /bbpress folder.

Other than opening the wp.config.php to check on secret keys and all that, I haven’t done anything with it.

Yesterday, I did move the wordpress install to the root. I had worked out all the kinks though, and everything was working well. I did have an Internal Server Error for awhile though, but that was fixed. It was discussed here, https://wordpress.org/support/topic/205960?replies=13#post-862375

I looked at the error.log. I’m assuming it notes military time. There were some files not found this morning as I’d expect. Nothing from this afternoon.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I appreciate it.

What does your directory structure look like? Where did you put bbPress, and where is WordPress? Does it look like this:

/var/www/htdocs/wordpress/wp-config.php

/var/www/htdocs/wordpress/bbpress/bb-config.php

Did you modify the wp-config.php file at all? Do you have access to error logs? A blank screen is likely a 500 Internal Server Error.

If you can’t see the sites, you have bigger problems than just integrated logins. You should be able to view the WordPress site and the bbPress forum without logging in.

I was just about finished integrating bbpress with our wordpress installation. I had not called up the wordpress site during most of this process. When I did try to call it up, a white screen came up, no error messages, nothing, just white.

It had just been working fine before I began installing bbpress, but I had just gotten locked out of login (again) and followed these instructions: “To fix bbpress, you need phpmyadmin or a similar tool. Login, go to your bbpress database. Not certain what it’s like on 0.9, but you probably need to go to the bb_topicmeta table and perform a search (or browse through) to find a record where the meta_key is wp_table_prefix. Try deleting that record. Without that setting I think bb would look for its own users again. ” http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/doing-integration-cant-login-in-bbpress

Not sure if that’s what broke the wordpress installation. What should I try? Should I go back into phpMyAdmin and try to add that record back in? Should I just uninstall bbpress and start over again?

This is pretty similar, I think:

[chrishajer]

Yes, it’s pretty friendly, especially with Permalinks on. Are there specific concerns you’re trying to address?

There are also a couple SEO plugins for bbPress floating around if you’d like to make it even better.

Thanks!

Should I create the config file and then go through the install process?

[Sam Bauers]

Is this a standalone bbPress or integrated with WordPress?

[Sam Bauers]

We aren’t including Snoopy, only WP_Http (which is only around 24k of code if you discount the comments)

The cron job is triggered by pageviews and then only if there are jobs to run.

So on a visit to the site, the cron job list is checked (just an option in the meta table) then if there is something there to do, bbPress sends an HTTP request to itself, which the user doesn’t need to wait for.

[Sam Bauers]

1.0 will include XML-RPC for all bbPress content.

It would be quite easy to create a plugin for WordPress which fetches content via XML-RPC and turns it into an array.

You need to add the same SALT and KEY settings in bbPress config file…

define('BB_AUTH_KEY', '');

define('BB_AUTH_SALT', '');

define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', '');

define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT', '');

define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY', '');

define('BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT', '');

.

Of course you need to actually set values in them to match your WPMU install.

apache friends = xampp = awesome

1 minute fully configured install plus you can turn on some other options like eaccelerator if you want later

Only thing I’d recommend differently than I did if you have the extra disk space is the full install instead of the lite install because the lite install can’t be (easily) upgraded.

Hi,

What is the best software to install on a pc to be used at home to develope on I have found http://www.apachefriends.org which has php and mysql built in or is there another way. This is easy as it installs everything.

Thanks

Those two versions are not compatible for integration. I still don’t know what your problem is, but maybe that’s part of it.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101

[densa]

Yes, integrated

BBPress 0.9.0.2

WordPress 2.6.2

[chrishajer]

I went to your forum but I can’t read Russian to know what exactly is going wrong. I’ve never seen the problem.

What version bbPress did you install, and is it integrated with WordPress (and if so, what version there)?

[chrishajer]

Use the existing database, but be sure the table prefixes are different. By default WordPress uses wp_ and bbPress uses bb_ – those are safe. When you get into the installation, you will see a place where it asks what the WordPress table prefix is.

[M.K. Safi]

I want to integrate bbPress with WordPress. In the installation of bbPress, should I use my existing WordPress database or should I create a new one?

[_ck_]

Just remember that the cron in bbPress/WordPress is fake and not parallel tasking. Meaning that the user waits while the task is completed when the task is triggered. Unless they are using url fetching via php to do a pseudo multi-task, which I doubt.

Sometimes (most times) a real cron is better. I asked them way-back-when cron was first introduced in WordPress to allow a real cron job to be substituted but still work with the API and I don’t believe they’ve ever done that.

I’m busy with a working plugin but doesn’t get the page titel modified:

check the forum link in my profile page to get an idea for the unfinished version

[chrishajer]

This is the only SEO related plugin I know of for bbPress. Not sure if it works with the latest release, but it could be a start.

[chrishajer]

There’s no easy way to embed bbPress into a WordPress page, I don’t think. There are forum plugins for WordPress that work inside a WordPress page, but I have no experience with them.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=forum

(sorry, that search is pathetic but that’s where I’d start)

[fandangoflip]

I found this method to include forum topics within wordpress:

‘<?php include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/rss.php’); wp_rss(‘http://example.com/bbforum/rss.php&#8217;, 5); ?>’

Is that any help? Still not sure how to format it entirely though.

[justlikeit]

Hi:

I have been use the wordpress for long, and the all in one SEO plugin works good,my questions is :

If there is a good plugin for bbpress SEO ?

Regards.

[fandangoflip]

Hey,

I’ve recently begun to play with bbpress in conjunction with wordpress.

I’ve figured out how to include an RSS feed of a bbpress post & author to display as “author on “title of the post”” by using the following code:

<?php include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/rss.php’); wp_rss(‘http://example.com/bbforum/rss.php&#8217;, 5); ?>

Does anyone know how to include an excerpt of the post, time and change the formatting.

Basically I’m aiming for the feed to create something like this….

…Alternativly, is there an easier way to include or embed bbpress or any other forum into wordpress?

Any advice is very much appreciated
