Version 1.0 of bbPress will have built in support for display names like WordPress. By some weird design bbPress has no mechanism to delete users so you just set it inactive and make a new user for now.

why, when i click in a profile link, ocurrs this error message:

User not found.

Back to bbPress support forums.

Can somebody help me with this??? I would like to show the latest discussions in a sidebar while I’m in a topic. Also I want to import my Recents Posts from WP to BBpress.

GOD bless, Thanks…

That’s what I call reverse integration and it definitely can be done but you are going to have to decide which user table you want to use – you cannot merge them. You’ll either have to use WordPress’s or bbPress. Then you can either rename the usertable or make very specific settings inside bb-config.php and wp-config.php to point to the new table.

Daft question time… I’ve recently built a site based on WordPress 2.6 and want to launch soon, so BBPress integration is out of the question for now. However, I don’t want to use another forum system in it’s place.

So… my question is, If I have a standalone BBPress installation now, is it easy to integrate it with my WordPress installation later on when BBPress gets upgraded or is it going to be a major hassle?

Thanks all!

I experimented a bit with setting up the wp/bbpress integration over the weekend. I can’t get back to it for the next few days but something’s gone awry I need to fix asap. I’m thinking I must have altered something in the wp configuration because since then when we try to access the wp main blog page, the home page we’ve set up comes up instead. I checked the wp-config.php against a previous version and there’s no difference there. Can anybody suggest any other files/settings I may have changed while going through the integration setup that could have an effect on wordpress like this?

[chrishajer]

dpeeples – I don’t think it matters. I put it right after the secret key line and it worked fine.

I just now got this working! The solution is posted at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/dropping-multiviews-support#post-16050

Quite simply, turn 1and1 hosting has MultiViews on by default and it must be turned off in .htaccess with:

Options -MultiViews

Then add the /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php mod_rewrite AFTER the Options -MultiViews.

That was too simple to take this long to resolve.

In fact, I get an error of “username does not exist” and am troubled.

The upshot was the same even if I returned it to WordPress 2.5.1_ja.

When can keep inputting an arbitrary account name by installation of ‘bbpress’; database error “ bbPress database error:

I become・・・・

［Table ‘databasename.bb_posts’ doesn’t exist “, and installation cannot be completed.］

An installation procedure is bad or is that it is a bug of BBpress0.9.0.2 the problem of the server side?

I want to take a possible cause investigation and measures.

Thanking you in advance

If there’s nothing on your forum yet, then just do a clean install. You have to rename the folder before you install it.

[jimmie65]

Currently, I’m using myBB on my website (http://forum.compassionatechristianity.org). Is it possible to switch over the current database to BBpress?

[springnet]

I did exactly the same thing and pffft. So I had to rename it back from forum to bbpress on http://spring.net/bbpress (for now!) until I can get it to work at http://spring.net/bb/ (hopefully soon)

[dallasbpeters]

Ok. I got an error when looking for the config file because I did not have an .htacess file in the root. So I manually uploaded the config.php file and now it seems to be working without the .htacess file.

[dallasbpeters]

Same problem. No luck here.

MySQL 4.0.23

PHP 4.4

Hmmm.

[841434]

OK, I’m not sure this is the right place for this but here goes.

I’ve already set up my site. My home page is a wordpress blog that is integrated with bbpress. The bulk of the site is plain html pages. I find that when I pull a post out of wp and put it in a streamlined html page google does a better job of picking adds that match the content and I get more clicks on advertising. Now the question/problem. I want to keep the comments at the bottom of each post after I’ve moved it over to html. They are still there in bbpress and I can place a link to the forum, but I would much prefer to have the comments visible at the bottom of each post. If this is going to be too much work for someone literate in html, semi-literate in php and illiterate in css, then is there someone that can and will write a hack for it?

[dpeeples]

i followed your instructions as well as i could but got a messed up page after inserting the

$bb->uri = ‘http://your-domain-name.com/forum-path/’

portion in the config code.

Where exactly should it go?

thanks much for the help.

[chrishajer]

Read this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/help-i-renamed-my-bbpress-file-directory-name

This topic is so similar, I actually thought it was the other one.

[dpeeples]

oops….no go. it worked good to navigate to the forum main page, but it messed up any folder under the bbpress/forum folder.

any ideas?

[dpeeples]

thank you much….so just rename the file? here goes….

[Erica S]

Yes you can do this, I did the same thing.

[dpeeples]

can i just rename my bbpress folder to forum to get my forum url to indicate “forum” instead of “bbpress”?

thanks…probably been answered countless times, i just can’t find it.

Hi Detective —

I just tried installing this plugin, and adjusted all the settings per your instructions, but I can’t seem to get it to work.

I see the input field in profile-edit.php now, but once I upload a photo into it, it does not appear in the wp-content/uploads/user-photo folder, nor does it appear on the page.

I’m using:

userphoto_display_selector_fieldset($user->ID);

in profile-edit.php, and calling the photo via:

bb_get_photo ( $user->ID );

in profile.php.

Any advice on how to get it to work?

[davidbaldwin]

ok, i downgraded from wordpress 2.6 to wordpress 2.5.1, and now I’m getting a “This username does not exist.” in bbpress when I try and log in. I can log into wordpress just fine, just not bbpress.

http://lifelightcam.com/bbpress/

what gives?

[_ck_]

You’re seeing it wrong.

The core files of bbPress should never be touched so they can be easily upgraded whenever a new version or security fix comes around.

my-plugins and my-templates keeps all your stuff seperate from bbPress’s stuff on purpose for very good reason.

Don’t get crazy about one extra folder.

[chrishajer]

I just tried this same thing to see if I could recreate the problem. I renamed my bbpress folder, then navigated to the new URL. The forum came up. I tried to log in; I was redirected to the OLD url and got a WordPress 404 page since there is no page there.

Then, I added the line that _ck_ recommended in bb-config.php:

$bb->uri = ‘http://your-domain-name.com/forum-path/’;

And I navigated to the new URL again. The forum came up. Then I tried to log in, and I logged in fine. In the admin, in the settings tab, the new URL is there (the one I entered in the bb-config.php, per _ck_’s suggestion.)

If this was not your experience, maybe you have a problem with permalinks or mod_rewrite rules. Try turning permalinks off and navigating to the forum again.

p.s. I didn’t do anything with the cookies, and I do not have an integrated installation. Just a WordPress site with a forum in a sub-directory.
