Actually, the bbPress secret can live in the database. But you are right that the WPMU one cannot, mostly for login compatibility between blogs within WPMU.
Obviously you should choose your own secret and salt values, not the one’s given above.
my mistake,
make sure your BB_SECRET_KEY and BB_SECRET_SALT value on your bb-config.php are the same with SECRET_KEY and SECRET_SALT value on your wp-config.php

i just solved my login cookie issue after one night debugging…
i found these things:
– by default, wpmu generate auth_cookie as “wordpress”, but bbpress generate as “wordpress_xxxxx(hash)”
– wpmu not using “database secret” for cookie hashing, but it use the SECRET_SALT constant defined in the wp-config.php, bbpress using “database secret”. so the cookie result will never be the same.
you need to update your bb-config.php file to meet these situations.
assumed you’ve successfully install wpmu + bbpress, then edit your bb-config.php and add these line:
define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, ‘yourreallysecretkey’);
define(‘BB_SECRET_SALT’, ‘yourreallysecretsalt’);
$bb->authcookie = ‘wordpress’;
$bb->cookiedomain = ‘.yourdomain.com’;
$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;
$bb->sitecookiepath = ”;
and try to login… voila.. you can switch to bbpress and wpmu without re-login…
good luck,

_ck_:
The insert function in Comment Quicktags for bbPress can easily be reused to insert smilies.
Can you please show us how? Thanks
How to change it to all user can post embed object?
OK, I have the bbpress login and the wp login using the same user database under wp. The only issue that I have left is my loss of keymaster under the bbpress install. My problem with this is that I did auto-installs of both programs…so I didn’t get any options to set the keymaster/admin settings. I have read this post: wpbb-integration-admin-problem#post-2539 and I think that that it’s what I need to do. Problem is…I don’t know how to change this. I don’t see any code that looks like that which is being referred to. Anyone have a more detailed description of what I’m trying to do? Thanks.
Thought this may help those that are still having trouble integrating the two:
http://www.kineda.com/how-to-integrate-wordpress-and-bbpress-in-3-simple-steps/
I figured it was just browser functionality, not based on the software.
I wonder what header the other software sent, (if that’s what did it) and then if you could just send the same header in bbPress to cause the same behavior in the browser?
No.
There is a plugin to allow users to post images:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/allow-images/
There is also a plugin called “Admin can post anything”:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-can-post-anything/
You can also browse around there to see if there are some I have forgotten about. I thought Trent posted a while back about a plugin that allowed users to include all sorts of things, but I don’t know the status of that. I think that was for keymasters and admins only, as well:

Man…i’ve been trying to get bbpress in integrate (sso) for about 4 days now. I’ve tried just about everything these forums have recommended. I first installed WordPress (upgraded to 2.5.1), and then installed the newest version of bbpress in a subdirectory, like http://www.mysite.com/forum. I then went to my “wordpress integration” section of my bbpress installation, set it up as directed…and now I can’t login to the admin section of my bbpress site. I looked into seryi’s suggested changed above, but my code seems to be correct in my pluggable.php file. I tried the “fix admin” plugin from here: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/. I also tried this process (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpbb-integration-admin-problem#post-2539) of changed the phpmyadmin, but I’m confused on what to add where. Is there anything else I can try in order to get this integration working?
chrishajer is right – bbPress probably wouldn’t have released without some tightly knit coding to escape malicious scripts as a standard practice. Though, if you do want to delve deeper into guarding against attacks, there are some pretty handy tutorials on managing databases here: http://www.microsoft.com/hellosecureworld7
I wonder when it will be released for beta testing.

bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress. Just upload the bbpress folder to a subdirectory of your WordPress installation, then access the installer.
http://www.example.com/ <— if this is WordPress
http://www.example.com/bbpress/ <— put the forum here
Then access that URL and start the installation.
See: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/870
You can make the change yourself to fix this using this changeset:
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1499
Or alternatively you can go directly into your MySQL database and remove the row from the bb_topicmeta table with the meta_key of ‘avatars_show’.
Hi,
Hello all,
I’m currently working on an install of bbPress on a website that uses the Equal Height Column CSS technique.
There is a known issue with this and anchor tags as explained at length here:
http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/onetruelayout/appendix/equalheightproblems
Unfortuantely it doesn’t seem like there’s an easy work around.
So my question is…
How easy would it be to remove the anchor jumps from the ‘post’ topic/ ‘edit’ topic etc?
So for example when you post a reply it doesn’t go to
topic.php?id=5&replies=2#post-8
but
topic.php?id=5&replies=2
instead?
Any help with this would be massively appreciated. It’s one of those horrible design headaches.

Now the forums have some activity, as we closed our old Vanilla forums
Did you try validating the feed
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.criticalmass.at%2Fforum%2Frss%2F
The feed URL returns a 404 Not found Error if you check the headers:
http://www.criticalmass.at/forum/rss/
This sounds like WordPress trying to handle the /forum/ URL and sending a 404 error when the page actually exists. There was a plugin to take care of this sort of thing, I think…
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wordpress-mu-or-not-leads-to-404-errors-but-pages-still-load#post-13156
I think that plugin will resolve the fact that the feed actually returns a 404 error, then I bet the widget will pull the feed just fine. Report back please…
I’ve searched the forum, but I couldn’t find the answer to my problem. I was testing bbPress’ Gravatar function and after being unsatisfied with the outcome I clicked the ‘Show Avatars’ box so the little ‘v’ sign would dissappear. But when I click on the “Update Settings” button the feature stays enabled. In short: I can’t disable the “Show Avatar” thingy.
Does anyone have a release archives for bbPress, or at least the one for version 0.73. I’m trying to use the phpbb2bbpress http://www.iteisa.com/phpbb2bbpress/ converter, but it only works for 0.73. so i’m thinking I could use that, and then upgrade to version 0.9 later.
I notice that some BBPress sites include a VIEWS count column but I haven’t managed to find a way to turn it on in Admin or a Plug-in to provide it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I get this error at the top of the pm.php page:
bbPress database error: [Unknown column 'del_receiver' in 'where clause']
SELECT * FROM bb_privatemessages WHERE id_receiver = '1' AND del_receiver= '0' ORDER BY created_on DESC
bbPress database error: [Unknown column 'del_sender' in 'where clause']
SELECT * FROM bb_privatemessages WHERE id_sender = '1' AND del_sender = '0' ORDER BY created_on DESC
Also, all previous Private Messages are missing.
Hey everyone. I’ve been trying to figure out how to match my bbpress theme with my wordpress theme. So far I know I need to somehow integrate my current wordpress header/footer into my bbpress installation. I’m thinking that this might be the only thing that I need to do. Are there any specifics on how to do this?
