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

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Hi:

If there is a good plugin for bbpress SEO ?

Regards.

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

Hello! On a BBPress forum I am creating, I need for unregistered users to be able to see the titles of Topics and Forums on the forum home page, but not be able to actually read the threads. Ideally I would like the name of the Topics and the Forums to be hyperlinked as they are now, but if you click on them, you are taken to the Log In Page. It must be possible, but all I am finding are ways to hide the names of the topics, which I do not want to do.

Thanks!

By the way, if it makes any difference, I’m running PHP 5.2.6 and mySQL 5, and WPMU is installed in the root, with subdirectories enabled.

[Alex]

I’m trying to integrate WPMU 2.6.1 and bbPress 1.0 alpha, and I’m having some troubles. Here’s how the installation process went for me:

Database details were fine.

The bbPress salt etc details were left blank as this is usually added later in the WordPress integration area.

In the integration area I inserted the WPMU address into the two URL textfields. For the keys I used the following from the wp-config.php file in my WPMU root:

WordPress "auth" cookie key -> AUTH_KEY

WordPress "auth" cookie salt -> SECRET_SALT

WordPress "secure auth" cookie key -> SECURE_AUTH_KEY

WordPress "secure auth" cookie salt -> SECURE_AUTH_SALT

WordPress "logged in" cookie key -> LOGGED_IN_KEY

WordPress "logged in" cookie salt -> LOGGED_IN_SALT

I then selected ‘Add user database integration settings’ and left WP_ as the prefix.

This went through fine.

In the Site Settings area I added the site name and URL, but something struck me right here – it was asking for ‘key master’ account details, previously this has already been the site admin for the WordPress install.

I added the username of the admin user, ‘admin, and that failed saying the account already existed. I tried the install again, and changed the ‘key master’ to another username, and this time it failed but said ‘The key master could not be created. You may need to replace bbPress with a fresh copy and start again.’

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bbPress issue?

I’m guessing WordPress and WordPress MU integration is planned for the final 1.0 release?

Thanks,

Alex

[azsportshub]

Yeah for sure. Big pain. I saw that you submitted a ticket, so hopefully they will fix that soon and we can even get rolling with the alpha install. In the meantime I am downgrading to make it work.

[jbbrwcky]

What about already registered accounts on bbpress/wordpress? Mine don’t work together and in fact if I log in in my bbpress it breaks my wordpress, I have to clear the cache/cookies to be able to login to the WP again.

[Sam Bauers]

It should be noted that using non ascii characters in bbPress is not supported and you could open yourself to a whole range of potential SQL injection threats by doing so.

WordPress has never supported non-ascii characters in usernames and has compensated by allowing display names, bbPress 1.0 now allows display names as well for the same reason.

[chrishajer]

If this is true and you don’t agree with the way it works, you should report the bug at trac.bbpress.org. Be sure to include the version number you’re using.

[chrishajer]

I don’t think you can do it through the bbPress interface at all ( I could be wrong about that, but I’ve never seen it. ) You would have to modify it directly in the database. Using a tool like phpMyAdmin find the topic in the bb_topics table, and modify the topic_slug. Make sure the slug you select does not already exist – the slugs need to be unique.

[Shagalaga]

BBpress counts the amount “Topics” and “Posts” on the frontpage together.

eg: Topics + Posts = new Post count

[hoyer801]

I had the same issue as the original poster. I tried the .htaccess solution but I couldn’t get it to work. I used the other solution (editing the register.php) and I’ll keep in mind to check it again on updates.

[chrishajer]

If you make it work, please post your experience so that other’s may learn from it. Thanks.

[shughey]

Thanks, that’s what I needed.
