If you have a tool like phpMyAdmin, I think you should be able to log in there and change the site URL.
You used to be able to define the site URL in the bb-config.php as well. This is what used to be in that file:
// The full URL of your bbPress install
$bb->uri = 'http://www.truediy.com/';
Maybe if you put that second line in your bb-config.php maybe that will override the database settings? (Actually, I’m fairly certain that will work. Then you can update the settings in the admin.)
It’s hard to tell if there’s an error in an edited bb-config.php. I have seen where the secret keys are not properly escaped, and that creates a PHP problem. As you’ve posted it (edited) it works fine.
I just did an svn checkout of r1736 and that included backpress r153, which is what’s available at the URL you posted.
Mine installed cleanly. I did not integrate with WordPress. You can see a one minute video of the installation here:
http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/1736/
I suspect a problem with the secret keys in the bb-config.php. Or some other syntax problem with the bb-config.php. If you have a command line with php you can run
php -l bb-config.php
to check that file for syntax errors. That’s “php dash el”, l for Lint.
Well I used yesterdays Trunk Release (1736) and the Backpress folder from here: http://svn.automattic.com/backpress/trunk/includes/
Is there anything else I’d have to add to the Trunk that I possibly missed?
I don’t really think that the bb-config syntax is wrong because it’s working with the Alpha just fine.
Anyways, the code for what it’s worse:
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('BBDB_NAME', 'xxxxx'); // The name of the database
define('BBDB_USER', 'xxxxx'); // Your MySQL username
define('BBDB_PASSWORD', 'xxxxx'); // ...and password
define('BBDB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change these last few
define('BBDB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old bb-config.php does
define('BBDB_COLLATE', ''); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them
// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here
// Change each KEY to a different unique phrase. You won't have to remember the phrases later,
// so make them long and complicated. You can visit https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm
// to get phrases generated for you, or just make something up. Each key should have a different phrase.
// If you are integrating logins with WordPress, you will need to match each key to
// the value of their equivalent keys in the WordPress file wp-config.php
define('BB_AUTH_KEY', 'xxxxx'); // Change this to a unique phrase.
define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'xxxxx'); // Change this to a unique phrase.
define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'xxxxx'); // Change this to a unique phrase.
// If you are running multiple bbPress installations in a single database,
// you will probably want to change this.
$bb_table_prefix = 'bb_'; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!
// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define('BB_LANG', '');
?>
Thanks for helping out!

I was trying to change the url of my bbpress forum because it was loading from the preview site that GoDaddy gave me before I made it live. In doing so I effectively locked myself out of the admin area and redirected all of the content. Is there a php file that I can re-upload to counter the changes I made or do I need to talk to my server host? The error message I get when I click on a topic or category is that safari can’t find the content on the server, I then set the url to the url I last changed it to and get the message “No input file specified.”
Take a look at http://www.truediy.com if you want to see what I am talking about.
Thanks!
Do you have access to server logs? If you’re getting a blank screen, it’s probably a 500 Internal Server Error. Maybe there’s a problem with one of your WordPress templates.
no.. its not a wp blog. it’s my own site completed coded by me…
is there any way??
or if can i know about the type of encryption wordpress is using for encrypting the password. I am having the wordpress software , but unable to debug all the pages……
I guess your website is not the WP blog?
No, I can access the admin of the blog, and I can access the forum. But the blog pages/posts all comes up as a blank screen.
Hi, Am new to this site and hope am posting this query in right place.
I recently downloaded bbpress forum software . The integration was successfull with wordpress . But I want the users in my website to access the forum without need of registering in it again.
I dint find any means of achieving this. Can anyone help…
I tried changing the forum code., but i think it is not a good idea.
CHeeRS,
sowmithrii
My bbPress is non-English forum name.When user register from my forum. The password mail title not display correct my forum name.How to fix it? Thanks!
So, you can access the forum and the blog? Is everything back to normal?
It’s not possible now, I don’t think. I don’t know if it will be possible in the future.
I did a search around the forum and I couldn’t see an easy way to embed bbPress within a WordPress page.
Is this gonna be possible in future releases?
Thanks,
I think I’m asking for theme integration.
I have seen other WordPress forums where you create a page, insert a one line HTML(?) code, and the forum will appear in that page. I was wondering if something similar can be done with bbPress, so that I can make it appear within my theme, here. Thanks,
Another note, the Internal Server Error yesterday was fixed by correcting the .htaccess file.
At present it reads:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Oh wow, I am able to get into my wordpress admin.
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?
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.

Dear all,
is BBPress is SEO friendly..
please explain…
thanks,
phani
Thanks!
Should I create the config file and then go through the install process?
Is this a standalone bbPress or integrated with WordPress?
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.
