I successfully integrated bbpress alpha with the latest wordpress. The install is pretty flawless.
Now, I want to pull in the header and sidebar from wordpress. Does anyone have any tips for me on how to do this?
September also features the first site to be purposely excluded from the listings. Not that I am passing judgement on it as there are other sites far more dubious that are in the list where the content is not their own.
find-answers.net
It’s impressive in that someone wrote a bbPress to Usenet gateway. But its not right to include it on the list since there will be millions of posts in no time at all and they use a fake subdomain for each group.
At least it proves bbPress can handle such a load. They are going to really want my Super Search plugin (not released yet).
I do wish they’d share the code they made to accomplish that however, especially considering they seem to be using my theme, my plugins, my favicon, etc.
(What I really want is a Mailman to bbPress gateway!)
Hows your theme coming along?
I wish I knew how to develop/edit bbpress to make it into a theme like that.
logout and use bbPress login not wordpress.
I’m Still Learning! I installed the Forum with little or no problems. Now However I cannot Get the admin to work. That is to say I can’t get into admin. To Be Honest I’m not Sure Just How To Get Into the admin section. When I enter “…bbpress/admin.php” I am directed to the index file for the director I attempted entering “…bbpress/bb-admin/index.php” when I do I’m directed to to Index file. Can someone help me?… Please
“.mysite.com” should cover all subdomains.
Techincally .www.mysite.com is a subdomain.
I don’t know why it didn’t work for you
unless perhaps it was already “.www.mysite.com” on the WP side. They have to match.
Got integration working under WP 2.5.1 and bbpress 0.9.0.2
I’d just like to make an observation regarding integration instructions for power users –
Instruction part 8 says: Copy all these items into the bottom of wp-config.php and edit as required:
$wp->cookiedomain = ‘.your-domain-name.com’;
define(COOKIE_DOMAIN,’.your-domain-name.com’);
// note the leading DOT – this is important
// we list both for WordPress legacy compatibility
Originally, I took this to mean:
$wp->cookiedomain = ‘.mysite.com’;
define(COOKIE_DOMAIN,’.mysite.com’);
It wasn’t working. However, once I changed it to:
$wp->cookiedomain = ‘.www.mysite.com’;
define(COOKIE_DOMAIN,’.www.mysite.com’);
and in bb-config.php:
$bb->cookiedomain = ‘.www.mysite.com’;
(adding the www part) It works perfectly fine now.
Hope this helps.
Hi
I have WP 2.6 installed and the latest svn version (updated yesterday) of bbPress. The two are integrated with each other. I had a look at the users and roles in WP and noted that bbPress had changed all the roles to the bbPress role types. The WP roles are now all gone. The problem is that no one of my users can login, only the first admin user which I created when installed WP and bbPress. If I change another user from member to admin he cannot login.
Can I change back the roles to the default WP roles or do you have any clue what have happened?
Can add bbPress poll into wordpress like Bbpress Latest Discussion and embed wordpress post?
I experimented for awhile with making a plugin that would make 2.6 work with the 2.5 cookies using a pluggable replacement but the task proved overwhelming. Then I tried making a replacement pluggable for bbPress to make it work with 2.6 cookies and that was just as insane too.
Unless your mods are concentrated into one file I wouldn’t recommend tampering with the core.
I don’t get the rush to WP 2.6 It’s getting terribly bloated.
I miss 2.0 – feature rich yet still lightweight.
Though I hesitate to say this out loud, it is possible to integrate bbPress 0.9.0.2 with WordPress 2.6.x (I have a site running the two and logins to one part work in the other, cookies are properly set and cleaned up, etc.), BUT it requires plugins to both bbPress and WordPress (or, alternately, modification of core code) and I’d venture to guess that it might substantially weaken the cookie security introduced in WP2.6. If anyone is desperately interested, I can share details, but it’s messy.
Woo! Thanks!
The fixed reduce my bbPress 1.0 Alpha 27 to 18 queries!

It’s weird. I had that exact thing happen to me on an alpha install, not integrated, and I thought I was going crazy seeing things. Maybe not. For me, I just restarted the browser or used another browser and registration went through fine. I have no idea what it is; it’s an esoteric bug for sure.
Hi,
Is there a way for me to easily merge Forums, topics, split topics and so forth?
I would like to merge a couple of my forums. I just imported my phpbb2 40 meg forum to bbpress. It works super! But I have so many forums and would like to merge them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Chris
I didn’t see your post.
BBPress Alpha is in its own database. All the tables appear to be there, numbering 12. This is a standalone BBPress. The only thing I have done differently is to put the hidden forums plugin in “my-plugins”, but it is not activated, nor are any other plugins like Askimet or Bozo.
Thanks for the input. I’m pretty sure I’m off in the wrong direction, I’m just trying to dig through what the WP and BB code are doing under the covers so that I have a better understanding of where this problem is coming from. It’s simply the analytical part of me wanting to understand the whole system.
As for why, I am currently calling a few bbpress functions from my wp pages.
I’m actually reviewing what I’m using now to see if I can just eliminate the use of the bbpress functions on the WP pages. I think I can probably just eliminate the need (at least for now).
That said, I still want to dig in and get to the bottom of this. It seems like there should be a really easy answer for this (btw — I don’t think it’s the 404 problem from the other thread you linked).
Thanks again for the feedback. Given I’m doing this on my own time, I may not get back to it for a while (I have funded development to finish for work). I’ll post back when I have a chance to re-review this.
I restarted Firefox 2, checked cookies which was allowed for this site, and the same problem occurred. I didn’t mention before that after I click on the Register button, my username appears in the top left of the page, again with the form as I completed it. I also tried this in IE6 with cookies allowed too. The same problem occurred.

This happened to me once before. I thought I was seeing things. In my case, it was cookies or something because when I restarted the browser and tried again, it worked fine. Can you recreate the problem in another browser?
So you have bbPress alpha in its own database, and there is just one table, the users table, or all the other tables are there as well?
Is this integrated with anything, or just a standalone bbPress installation?
Also, why are you loading bb-load.php into WordPress? Do you need to use bbPress functions inside WordPress?
To me this sounds like you are way off on the wrong track. I’ve never heard of anything like this before. I use a static front page for WordPress and have never had this problem.
Did you install bbpress and wordpress into separate folders? Is bbPress in a subfolder of WordPress?
Did you create an .htaccess for bbPress and are you using permalinks?
Is this relevant at all?

Not trying to distract you from the work you’re doing, but I’ve never heard of anyone going off in that direction before for a problem like this.
When I register (click on the Register button) there appears to be a transfer. But then when all it done, I am still on the register page with the form filled in. I would think I would get a thank you, your password will be sent to you. And yes, the two required fields are filled in properly.
