I upgraded to bbpress 1.0 over the weekend and it seems to have broken logins for my main wordpress site. I can log into bbpress fine, but if I go to /wp-admin/ and try to log in there, I just get booted back to the login screen over and over. I’ve had the integrated user database setup for some time now and have never had a problem. Any idea what might be causing this?

I’m getting the same error as satranc when attempting a fresh install of 1.0 alpha 2.

Exact, 0.12 works well.

@sambauers

Thanks!

If you’re going to be modifying the source, there’s probably no sense in waiting. You’ll have to keep up with security fixes manually at that point anyway.

I don’t recommend modifying any core files. I bet most of what you want to do can be done with plugins and then you can keep upgrading as new bbPress releases come out.

Thanks for the response Chrishajer,

Would you recommend waiting until bbPress goes 1.0? I will be changing a lot of source so any upgrade in the future will probably be sort of a pain. I would like to integrate once and not have to worry about upgrading for awhile.

Thanks,

Ian

Is it not so straightforward to upgrade from 0.9.0.2 then?

[Sam Bauers]

@leoleoleo

Well, you should just be able to replace the bbPress files with the new ones then go to your sites admin area to run the upgrade script (it appears automatically if it is required).

Make sure you backup your old files and your database first to be safe.

@sambauers

I am using 1.0 Alpha

[nekita]

No, I’m calling certain elements used in the WordPress header in the bbPress header too like the header.jpg and some Java for the menu. Only the things that are needed for a coherent design as is.

[satranc]

Hi all,

When i want to install

i got this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_glob() in xxxxxxxxxx/bb-admin/class-install.php on line 322

svn trunk revision: 1789

Heh, you know I had started to comment about the xmlrpc stuff but checked myself. Personally I’ll be using the delete option. Those hackers tend to find the bugs far faster than we do and the #1 security vulnerability on WordPress for years was the xmlrpc.php

Still, it will be interesting to see how people use it in the real world as it’s a powerful feature. I believe bbPress can now claim it’s the first forum to have such functionality.

Just in time for bbPress’s 2nd birthday too…

[Sam Bauers]

Does that mean you are including WordPress’ header.php file in bbPress?

[Sam Bauers]

@_ck_

Thanks!

BTW, you’ll be happy to know there are three different ways to tun off XML-RPC:

* In settings

* Forcibly, via a plugin

* Just plain delete the file (xmlrpc.php)

But I’d like to think that you could help us to keep it secure instead : )

On a related note, thanks to everyone who has helped out with testing so far. Apparently the first alpha was downloaded over 2,500 times, thanks to all those who took time to report bugs and suggest improvements over that time.

I’m looking forward to further input and feedback as we approach 1.0 beta and beyond.

@leoleoleo

From what version?

[Sam Bauers]

@ear1grey

A commendable approach, I approve.

[ear1grey]

I have the code managed through svn and after a quick svn switch http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/tags/1.0-alpha-2 (followed by an svn update for good measure) everything appears normal.

(+1 beer on Sam et al next visit)

[leoleoleo]

How to upgrade?

[_ck_]

Congrats and thanks for all the hard work Sam.

[Sam Bauers]

The next alpha of bbPress 1.0 is now available for download.

Read all about it on this blog post.

If you find any issues please report them via the bbPress Trac.

[brad_langdon]

Also I am now getting…

http://harrismarine.co.nz/bbpress/topic.php?id=9&page=2

and it is working.

So I am guessing you are only getting the other address (without the id=9) when it is not working which would mean the url is actually changing. How, I have no idea.

[chrishajer]

Very nice, nice integration.

[chrishajer]

I didn’t catch that you were looking for a forum in your first post, only that you wanted the registration functions. If you want a forum and registration functions, then yes, bbPress will be fine.

[chrishajer]

Looks like the whole server is gone now… Can’t bring it up at all.

The blank screen is likely a 500 Internal Server Error, so if you have access to error logs, that will help. If not, it’s likely a syntax problem in a template file. I saw at first that you had a custom theme up there. You could try with a stock theme and see if the problem persists.

One other thing I noticed is that the URL appeared incorrect. It looked like this:

http://harrismarine.co.nz/bbpress/topic.php?page=2

But the topic ID is missing in that URL. It should look more like this:

http://harrismarine.co.nz/bbpress/topic.php?id=9&page=2

Maybe the pagination links in your theme got messed up somehow. I wasn’t able to test any further because I can’t bring up any pages at all on your forum right now.

[nekita]

I’m just loading certain components from my WP Blog to give bbPress the same appearance (header and footer graphics, menu etc.). However it’s not a deep integration via bb-config.php.

I also deleted the entire modified template folder and replaced it with the original Kakumei template for testing reasons but the problem persisted.
