How about this:

[chrishajer]

Someone else using that theme had and resolved the same problem:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/demo-site-wordpress-integrations-problem

[dark-siren-sally]

When I use my keymaster account, and try to edit a user, there’s a part of the administration section that says, “Allow this user to” but there’s no form, text box or anything else to fill in after it. This line appears between “User Type” and “Custom Title”.

So what’s the point of the “Allow this user to” line? Looking at the code, it’s supposed to be for specifying specific user capabilities (like whether they can add posts, edit posts etc.) but it doesn’t seem to be fully functional yet. Is this expected?

If it helps I have the latest bbpress version, it’s 0.9.0.2.

Thanks.

I think this is the fourth time I’ve heard about this now. I have no idea what’s causing it. I think we need a new tag for it.

Do you have access to server logs? Maybe something is being logged there.

With a password failure, you should get the “Wrong Password” screen. But that’s not happening. It’s almost like the password is good but for some reason, it still thinks you didn’t log in.

I tried from the failed password screen, the “you must log in to post” screen and even a different browser. I can’t seem to get it to work. Maybe there will be something logged several times from all my attempts (my IP right now is 75.22.31.202). I even tried a password reset and I couldn’t log in with the new password either.

This is integrated with WordPress? What version for both packages?

And, in your case, since this was sudden, what could possibly have changed that caused this? New software for bbPress or WordPress, or possibly something got updated on the server?

[Ben L.]

Suddenly, my forum stopped allowing anyone to log in. It simply redirects to the front page.

I recently upgraded from an early bbPress 1.0 alpha to the newest one, but the problem was happening before (it was on and off).

Now, nobody can get in.

What can I do to fix this?

http://forums.llamaslayers.net/ is the URL.

I like the overall look and feel of the forum, feels very complete. I do think there is too little contrast between colors. That light blue is hard to work with. Check this:

What version bbPress are you using? Do you have access to error logs? Maybe you have a problem in a template that is erroring out and causing the blank screen after you post.

I made a test post and I did indeed get stuck on bb-post.php, but my post made it through (and can be deleted now, since it was just a test).

[Mark Thomas Gazel]

Is there not a solution for this problem?

I can see it has been fixed in the bbPress forum.

What’s version WP-MU compatible with bbpress 0.9?

I used version 1.5.1, but still does not work. View link:

https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/browser/tags

Thanks

[chrishajer]

Can you post a link to your forum?

Also, WordPress 2.6 won’t integrate well with bbPress 0.9.0.2. The logins won’t work on both the blog and the forum at the same time. But that’s not why you have this problem.

What directory structure did you use to install the forum? Is it in a sub-folder of the WordPress folder?

[qlister]

I’m using WordPress 2.6 and I was trying to install bbPress 0.9.0.2 and integrate it and it came up with this error at the end of the installation:

“Duplicate key name ‘user_nicename’

>>> User tables will already exist when performing a database integrated installation.”

My forum got installed, however when I try to click on the topics or the forums or tag, it doesn’t open anything, I can’t get to read any of those. It just stays on the same page.

The only function I am able to use is the add topic, but I can’t get to read anything I click.

What should I do? Any advice is greatly appreciated

I’m working on a site for creatives (photographers, models, make up artists, film makers) to develop their craft and offer advice to those considering entrting an educational route, setting up a business or freelancing.

Its still under heavy development and most of the content is yet to be uploaded, but I’d love to hear any feedback or suggestions to make the site better… Particularly the wordpress & bbpress funtions as I’m hoping the community aspect to be rather strong.

Sounds like you have the mobile browser agent stuff figured out with the Tera-WURFL library. So, when you detect a mobile browser, you want to display your forum using the1col_fixed theme? Looks like it checks for a match to a mobile browser like this:

$matched = $wurflObj->getDeviceCapabilitiesFromAgent($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);



// see if this client is on a wireless device (or if they can't be identified)

if(!$matched || !$wurflObj->getDeviceCapability("is_wireless_device")){

echo "<h2>You should not be here</h2>";

}

 

So, instead of the <h2> message they are displaying, you could use a theme switcher plugin to set the theme and direct someone to that URL. How about something like this:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-theme-switcher/

That plugin says it uses cookies to persist the theme choice.

[chrishajer]

As far as I know, there is no plugin like that for bbPress. WordPress allows you to post by email, and even if updates were sent out via an RSS to Email solution, the person receiving that wouldn’t be able to reply and have that posted to the blog.

Sounds like a better application for a mailing list, not a forum.

Or, does Basecamp do all that already?

[dark-siren-sally]

I’m using Tera-WURFL to detect whether my bbpress forum is being accessed by a mobile browser.

I also have a specific theme (1col_fixed, I think it’s called) that works very nicely in mobile browsers.

Now, what I want to do is to have bbpress use the 1col_fixed theme when a mobile browser is detected, and use my default theme otherwise. What function(s) do I call to set the currently activated theme to a different theme? And how do I make it ‘stick’ just for the mobile user — cookies? sessions?

Thanks so much if anyone can help me.

[nieman]

I’m trying to find out if anyone has tried to build a plugin that allows reply by email for a bbPress forum. This would be similar to what basecamp does.

1. Someone posts to the forum

2. Everyone subscribed to the forum receives an email

3. When you get the email, you can hit reply and it posts to the forum and email everyone.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Something I could not find in this or any other thread concerning integration of 0.9.0.2 with wp 2.5. Problem is that a login to either bbPress or WordPress will log a user OUT of the other, can not be logged into both at same time. Common problem but different question. Several people have suggested adding the following to the bb-config.php:

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

Questions: are these really needed, should the full hash number (wordpressuser_full.hash.number) also be included and if so, where do I find the hash code? Using Firefox, the I see two cookies when logged into either bb or wp:

wordpress_test_cookie

wordpress_cabxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Secret keys are identical for both bb and wp config files. Also I have:

In bb-config file:

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->user_bbdb_name = ‘xxxxxxxxxx’;

$bb->user_bbdb_user = ‘xxxxxxxxxx’;

$bb->user_bbdb_password = ‘xxxxxxx’;

$bb->user_bbdb_host = ‘xxxxxxxxxxx’;

$bb->custom_user_table = ‘wp_users’;

$bb->custom_user_meta_table = ‘wp_usermeta’;

$bb->authcookie = ‘wordpress_cabxxxxxxx’; //identical to what is shown in Firefox cookie

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘.alleventsadviser.com’;

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.alleventsadviser.com’);

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

$bb->sitecookiepath = ‘/’;

In wp-config:

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$wp->cookiedomain = ‘.alleventsadviser.com’;

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.alleventsadviser.com’);

$wp->cookiepath = ‘/’;

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

$wp->sitecookiepath = ‘/’;

define(‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

A registered user is shown in both bb and wp.

Thanks for any help.

What versions did you try to integrate?

If you scan the tag for integration you will see lots of people who have the same exact problem as you.

[gogoplata]

Another option which I have had success with is to use bbPress 0.9 with WPMU 2.6.2 but only integrate the users, not the cookies. Users will need to login separately to the forums but their same login/password combination will work on WPMU and bbPress.

Hope that helps.

I’m attempting to upgrade a website I run for a group to both WordPress and BBPress. I have integrated the two and the user accounts are in sync. Everything is working fine, except…

When a user logs in from the WordPress index page, it doesn’t log them in for BBPress. This is a problem, because I want to have administration links for accounts on the homepage of my website. I want a user to login and be able to click on ‘Settings’ and go to their BBPress settings page. Also, I want them to be able to click on “Messages” and go to their BBPress messages.

So, my question is – when a user logs in to the WordPress homepage, how can I make sure they are logged into the BBPress forums as well, without requiring them to log in a second time when they go to the forums?

Thanks for your help!

There have been some relevant discussions here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-0901-gt-30-queries-per-page

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/server-overload

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fulltext-searching-very-slow

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-evaluate-server-speed

Looking at the front page of your forum, I see a total of 3074 threads and 22,121 posts. Is there more than meets the eye here to come up with 2.5 million rows of data? Or maybe there’s not 2.5 millions rows in bb_topics, it’s just because of the subquery that it looks at that many records (like it’s something I don’t understand about the way MySQL displays the number or rows searched)?

Did the amount of data grow exponentially after the conversion from xdforums? Maybe there were 20K rows in xdforums, but something with the conversion didn’t go well and it duplicated a bunch of data? How many rows were there in comparable tables before and after conversion?

Something doesn’t add up.

Also, are all those queries the same, and if so, is that query just trying to determine the last poster, from the “Forum Last Poster” plugin? If so, have you tried just turning that plugin off? If that works, then maybe just optimizing the query for your installation would work and you could turn it back on after modifying the plugin.

Of all the plugins, the only other one I could see affecting the queries like that would be the Post Count Plus. That would be the second one I turn off and check for a performance difference.

I think you could do something like this:

There are two different solutions there.

To redirect the member back where they came from after they’re done, you could do this:

Hi,

I’ve successfully integrated WordPress 2.5.1 with bbPress 0.9.2, but I’ve encountered some issues with registering (display_name, multiple sign-ups with same email, etc.).

What I’m trying to do now is redirect all registration to the WordPress register page. My main questions are:

(1) how/where do I change the bbPress code to point to the WordPress register page.

(2) is there a way for the system to know where a user came from (forums or blog) and redirect the user appropriately after sign-up?

Thanks.
