make sure you have the bb-config.php file set up correctly.

go to bbPress Admin > Settings > WordPress Integration.

Then tick the check box that says “Show manual config settings”. Make sure you copy all of the information that then shows up. Into the your bb-config.php.

I had trouble with this, until i did this and it worked some how. Other than that I dont know what I can do.

Good Luck!

For more than a week I am fighting with bbPress and the latest WordPress version.

My problem is that user comments don’t appear. Well, I can see them in the Administration area in WP but not in the forum. Users already move away because they think I blocked their comments.

I actually installed bbpress because I wanted users to discuss on my page but now no one can discuss anymore lol.

My WP installation is at http://www.webserver.com and I installed bbpress on http://www.mywebserver/forum (example addresses)

I installed the WP plugin “bbPress Post” and filled out all the details. Also I installed bbSync.

At least when I write a new post the post title appears in the forum. So one good thing. But that’s all. How do users comment from my blog? I don’t want to put a link on every post “go to the forum and post there”.

I do have a custom theme by the way.

Actually I am not an idiot but now I’m just freaking out with bbPress because it’s so complicated and most of the how-to’s don’t work or are just bad explained. Here’s an example:

“Want a link back to the blog post? ” it days in the bbSync settings.

Well, what can I do there? There’s a field. Do I have to write YES or a special tag? Absolutely no explaination.

Ok so I have searched the forums but didn’t see any relevant. I just installed bbpress and then went to setting and set the correct settings for integration with my separate wp database. Now I didn’t see the change when I went to the forums so I logged out cleared mu cache and cookies and went to log in with the same user name as before but it comes up as the user name is not registered. It doesn’t make sense it looks like it integrated the db’s fine but erased by login information. Is there a way to check to see if it integrated correctly? Also is there a way to make another or recover my admin login information since it looks like it deleted it.

Edit: I just tried to register a new user name and it gave me this error.

I hope I understand what you asked me… The plugin I was using is “Approve User Registration”. https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/approve-user-registration/#post-1141

I managed to add the WordPress functions to bbPress, but I now need to know how I can add the bbPress functions to WordPress. I want to include the exact “Discussions” code in “front-page.php” of bbPress to the “index.php” in WordPress. I know there is a plugin for this, but it wasn’t what I wanted.

I used this code to integrate WordPress into bbPress (added to the top of bb_config.php)

define('WP_BB', true);

if ( !defined('DB_NAME') ) {

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wp-config.php');

if ( !defined(‘BB_PATH’) )

define(‘BB_PATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BB_PATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

I think all I need to do is require bb-config.php and then the bb-settings.php. Anyone know how to do this (following the php example above)?

*I only wish I know php.

I believe you have not followed (all of) the steps for cookie integration between wordpress and bbpress. Some of the (hundreds) of integration threads might help too.

Para aquéllos que quieran hacer la locura que he intentado, y por ahora me va saliendo:

1. Migrar un foro phpBB a bbPress (sólo desde phpBB2)

2. Integrar WP y BBPress.

(Se puede)

No debe aparecer ninguna especificación de codificación ni en bb-config.php, NI EN LA SECCIÓN ADMIN de BBPress. Es decir: quitad utf8 en la pestaña “opciones” “WordPress Integration” y del archivo bb-config.php.

Me ha costado un mes.

[724719]

how do i change the log out link to use the log out of file of wordpress instead of bbpress, which isnt working for some reason.

im lookin in ‘kakumei’ logged-in.php file and it shows:

<p class="login">

<?php printf(__('Welcome, %1$s!'), bb_get_profile_link(bb_get_current_user_info( 'name' )));?>

<?php bb_admin_link( 'before= | ' );?>

| <?php bb_logout_link(); ?>

</p>

question is where is bb_logout_link(); so i can change the actual link? which file is that function located in.

thanks

Adding that line only allows you access to WordPress functions from within bbPress, it has nothing to do with making your forum look like your blog. For that, you will need to do some CSS and template work: none of it is automatic.

[738576]

I found the answer here:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

I guess that’ll learn me to read before posting.

[737705]

I don’t suppose anyone has had a chance to check that link? I might have to take the forum down on it soon as I’m concerned about a infinite loop being live on the server.

I’ve been researching and can’t seem to find a solution to this….

It just seems odd as on IIS6 Bbpress worked fine…..

[738576]

Hi,

I am just going through the setup of bbPress and I have 2 questions about the above.

1. Add cookie integration settings:

If you want to allow shared logins with an existing WordPress installation.

Does this mean that users who register for the forum are also able to write posts on my blog? I can’t imagine this would the case, but seeing this made me a bit nervous.

2. Add user database integration settings:

If you want to share user data with an existing WordPress installation.

What’s the benefit behind this, besides centralizing user data?

[_ck_]

Hopefully you’ve figured out that you can just edit front-page.php as you wish to accomplish all that.

[_ck_]

This is unlikely to ever happen as it goes against the entire concept of bbPress being “bare bones”.

For every plugin you think is very useful, another user will find it useless (and just slows down bbPress).

I’ve been debating creating a “plus” version of bbPress that will bundle many of my plugins to help get people started more quickly but that won’t happen anytime soon (at least not until 1.0 is mature).

ps. why do you use “private forums” and “hidden forums” together? Hidden Forums should be a full replacement.

[_ck_]

I suspect most of the efforts are probably going into BackPress so they can get TalkPress going (the wordpress.com version of bbpress). bbPress is benefiting from the work but I doubt we’ll see the resources you are requesting anytime this year (at least not until 1.0 is out)

The trac roadmap is a (very limited) resource you can use as a reference, sorry that’s all I can think of:

https://trac.bbpress.org/roadmap

[724719]

can you explain how you intergrated the wp functions in the bb-config.php , im having a lot of trouble with that

i appreciate any help

thanks

[724719]

i tried what you just and no I obviously put the <?php first lol

here is a screenshot of my situation.

http://picbi.com/upload/images/n3kenkd274fvqqx6jx.jpg

wordpress still works when i use that “functions” line, but logining to bbpress does not.

thanks

as i said, when i use the line, the domain http://www.picbi.com/forum results in a white empty page

[737705]

Hi there,

I’ve been using bbpress for a while but I recently updated my servers and switched all the sites over to it. Much to my frustration I am experiencing infinite loops when attempting to edit or view any profiles or topics. Thus making a rather rubbish forum!

Admin pages work fine, WP integration went through perfectly, topics can be posted BUT not viewed.

Right so heres the spec:

Windows Server 2008

IIS7

PHP 5.2.6

MySQL 5.1.25

Both the latest versions of WP and BBpress, WP is installed absolutely fine.

With debug activated I get the following:

REQUEST_URI: string(31) “/journal/messageboard/topic.php”

should be: string(37) “/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=39”

full permalink: string(64) “http://www.XXXXX.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=39&#8221;

PATH_INFO: NULL

If anyone can help me out I would actually love them a great, great deal…..

I found this thread, which is quite old:

http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/bbdev/2005-July/000206.html

But the fixes suggested there are in the settings file already.

Help would be appreciated and thanks in advance

Hi to all!

For a simple (!!!) project I’m using WP and BBpress: I’ve change all the precedure for the users registration in BBpress and I like to integrate it with WP.

I’ve perfectly integrate the forum with the blog (including the function file in bb-congif.php), but I cannot understand how can I include the registration block in WP.

Can someone give me any kind of information?

[724719]

i just read a post on another thread, and saw this checklist:-

1. You are running latest versions of WordPress (2.5.1) and bbPress (0.9.0.2)

ME – yeahs I am !

2. You have matched SECRET_KEY in wp-config.php with BB_SECRET_KEY in bb-config.php

ME – yeahs I have !

3. You have matched WordPress "secret" database option with bbPress "secret" database setting

ME – yeahs I have!

4. You have setup compatible cookie domains and paths in config files (see instructions in bbPress admin)

ME – I take its these two things i have to add to wp-config.php file: – define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”); define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

if so what do I change those parameters to, or do i leave them blank … im not that familiar with cookies .. (my site is http://www.picbi.com and the forum is http://www.picbi.com/forum )

5. You are successfully sharing user tables from WordPress with bbPress

Me – Yeahs I am

[724719]

it worked but when i logged in as admin in the blog and then go to login as admin in bbpress (both the same user).. it logins me in as admin but when I click on the “admin” link at the top.

I get this: –

Warning: require_once(../wp-blog-header.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/picbico/public_html/forum/bb-config.php on line 29

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/picbico/public_html/forum/bb-config.php on line 29

and yeahs the wp-blog-header.php is there, otherwise there would have been an error before i even logged in.

[724613]

Ok. I figured out how to get the single login working for both bbPress and WordPress…

I did understand the Function part of the setup.

I made sure the bb-config.php file looked like this.

if ( !defined(‘BB_PATH’) )

define(‘BB_PATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once(‘path/to/wp-blog-header.php’);

require_once( BB_PATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

While a TOS (terms of service) agreement for any forum during registration (as well as a age confirmation) I suspect it’s more likely your site got suspended for adult content?

In any case TOS and AGE confirmation are good plugin ideas. Here’s a plugin for TOS.

ps. “native american” = North American Indian. I suspect you meant instead that english is not your primary language.

[malfhok]

This is a quick fix for now, until bbPress gets the well needed mass-edit:

If you have your bbPress integrated with your WordPress, then all of the bozo users will show up with no role in your WP users mass-edit. You can mass delete them from there. Look out, though, because non-activated accounts show up with no role as well. I’d check in bbPress for bozos and then delete them in WP after you know who they are.
