Is there a new version of bbpress due soon to support the new version of WP? Prefer to wait if poss.

[chrishajer]

I think you can download ThemePress here:

http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/

[chrishajer]

You can create a new ticket after logging in here:

https://trac.bbpress.org/

[chrishajer]

bbPress does not create the .htaccess file for you like WordPress does. I think in future releases they are considering creating it for you.

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/838

[chrishajer]

I don’t think that’s it. With an integrated install, you should only be using the wp_users table, not the bb_users.

There used to be a trick, not sure it this works any longer.

Might be worth a shot. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Wait, so was this ever resolved after a year?

With WordPress in the root and bbPress in a sub-directory (ie. /forums/) can they both have pretty permalinks?

I have an idea if not – simple edit the webroot wordpress htaccess like so:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forums/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

where /forums/ is the install path of bbpres underneath wordpress. Remember you still need the local htaccess for bbpress in it’s own folder.

Sure, if that really bothers you, with bbPress you can do almost anything if you get clever.

Edit the login-form.php template and wrap the entire <form></form> in something like this (untested)

<?php if (bb_get_location()!="register-page") { ?>

<form blah blah blah

...

</form>

<?php } ?>

I can vouch for ThemePress. It is an excellent solution imho. I am using it on a site that is still in the development stage. It is quite easy to use. It is also much better than trying to make separate bbPress and wordpress themes similar.

[anywhen]

I want to try to explain a little bit more: I looked at the tables in the MySQL Database (bbpress only install – not WP integration) – in the table “bb_users” are some fields like “user_login”, “user_nicename” and many more …

My problem is that the search function does not give me any results if I search for a user name (user_login) or for example “user_nicename” – and at this time I think it is unrelevant if the user have post something or not. Seams that this fields are not in the search include only the topic or the content of a post is relevant for the search function …

My question is: How can I modify the search that these fields are also relevant for the search?

Thank you very much for help …

Sorry, I dont know about the TRAC thing. Just explain and i will stick it up there.

BTW .. isnt there a PM system within bbpress ?

By popular request here is “The Hybrid”

download:

http://bbshowcase.org/themes/the-hybrid.zip

demo:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/?bbtheme=the-hybrid

Essentially it’s a mash-up between the bbPress support forum theme here and Kakumei, with a few tweaks.

Requires the Topic Views plugin to be installed.

It’s older work and not as pretty as “FutureKind” (I won’t be releasing that one this year) and you can forget about “validation” unless you want to work on it quite a bit yourself, but it’s a nice alternative to the defaults.

Let me know if you get any errors or other problems.

I’ll try to fix it up some more as I have time.

In bb-includes/class-phpass.php on line 43, bbpress uses getmypid() to create the randomstate for password hashes.

On shared hosting systems, getmypid() is disabled very often.

I replaced it with uniqid(), and bbpress didnt throw the WARNING anymore.

getmypid() does not return a unique value in all cases. Especiall when PHP is running as an apache module in shared hosting sytems. Also for this reason its much better to use uniqid().

uniqid() gives a 13 digits value. uniqid(”, true) even 23 digits. I think this should be good enough for the randomstate.

Please consider to use uniqid() in future versions of bbpress.

thx for your attention

Had the same bug, when I installed bbpress for the first time today. I noticed that it didnt even create the .htaccess file.

(couldn’t get the quote to work) from _ck_ post above: ” Also, none of this truly fixes WP 2.6 to work properly with cookie integration with bbPress 0.9.0.2 – that’s going to require an upgrade on the bbPress side.

ahh this must be why I am having trouble with single sign-on? In the past hour, I have tried everything in all the other posts about this topic to no avail. Unless I tried every combination/setting with the configs except the right one, of course.

[_ck_]

The trouble is that the developers on the WP side, in their wisdom decided to re-use an existing cookie name for a new purpose and change the cookie path.

The idea is higher security as the admin cookie in theory should only get transmitted when you are entering the admin section.

This is why you need to try deleting all your cookies (for your site) after installing WP 2.6

If that fails, try my define fix above.

Note that changing the cookie path to ‘/’ takes you back to the lower level of security that WP 2.5.1 and earlier had. There’s a particular WP mod who’s upset with me for even suggesting this but I figured the idea is to get you up and running ASAP first until they address this later.

Also, none of this truly fixes WP 2.6 to work properly with cookie integration with bbPress 0.9.0.2 – that’s going to require an upgrade on the bbPress side.

hey dbbpress1;

what do you mean exactly by

all of the redirects are causing me problems. I need the pages to return directly without redirecting to show new content.

Hi – I’m trying to integrate bbPress with the rest of my site and I’m finding that all of the redirects are causing me problems. I need the pages to return directly without redirecting to show new content.

Does anyone have expertise in this area? I would greatly appreciate a few hours of help and I could even do it as a paid consulting gig given the short notice.

Thanks

[matjack1]

thank you!!

works also for me!

[750284]

Thanks… that worked.

Of course, after that I decided I wanted to add a field.

I found this plug-in which you can also use to remove fields by actually modifying the profile fields, which worked equally well, plus allowed me to add a few fields.

[parthatel]

I would like to edit the design and text of when you log in to bbPress, which says “Welcome, username! Logout.” Where do I edit this? Thanks.

[chrishajer]

try this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-fields

[750284]

How do I remove some of the fields that are on the registration form? I’m using bbPress for a support forum and it doesn’t make sense to ask people things like their occupation and interests.

I don’t really care if there’s not a plugin to do it (although that’d be nice), but I just can’t find where the profile_info_keys are so that I can edit them.

Okay, some bbPress users may be able to get it to work with WordPress 2.6 by adding to your wp-config.php

@define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/blog/wp-admin');

where “blog” is your blog’s actual path. If it’s in the webroot, just take out “blog” entirely and leave '/wp-admin'

[_ck_]

We might have to sit tight for a 0.9.1 release or something like that.

I figured out a work-around to get into admin area on WP 2.6 but this will “knock out” your bbPress login as you switch back and forth:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/188964/page/2?replies=41#post-803992

[Erunafailaro]

So what next?

Is this an issue of configuring wp 2.6 and bbpress 0.9.0.2 correctly to fix this problem?

Or is a software-update necessary?
