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:

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?

[_ck_]

I wonder if a newer bbPress build will be required which can be taken from trac (or via svn).

Let me tinker a bit and see if they changed cookie methods (yet again, sigh)

CONFIRMED: WP 2.6 breaks cookie sync

and I get a endless-loop login by WP 2.6

Many people seem to confirm similar cookie problems:

hi,

just upgraded to wordpress 2.6, and I’m not able to login to my bbpress forum anymore (0.9.0.2). it just reloads the page.

Logging in at the wordpress admin interface is wokring fine.

(cleared cache, cookies,…)

Yeah I’ve tried what you’ve tried there with the re-directs and yep, it just dies.

But no meta-redirects are used in my sites at all. For experimentation I tried the domain with two different domain bindings, multiple domain bindings. But no difference.

I tried an older version of bbpress, same problem. I installed bbpress fresh into a different domain, same problem.

I noticed this guy here had a similar prob a while back:

Forum and topic pages redirects to page 1

But never said how he solved it, I might join up to his forum and ask him….

But yes this is driving me crazy…on a plus note when I finally fix it I can fresh install bbpress in about two minutes

Any other suggestions from folk greatly appreciated. And thanks for ongoing help Chris.

Well, wasn’t able to wait anymore. Users were complaining. I removed bbpress but thanks anyways.

I hadn’t read the guide on merging with wordpress – I am building it into a CMS built for a client.

I had already adjusted pluggable.php instead of simply editing bb-config and adding the cookiepath, d’oh!

I actually have a working solution now. Instead of ussing about with automatic login the main website can generate a cookie that BBpress likes. I did have to modify wp_validate_auth_cookie and wp_generate_auth_cookie to include my own hash and adjust the config as pointed out above but otherwise everything is unmodified… so far!

[737705]

Mod_rewrite doesn’t work on IIS without third party software and I think they are all a little buggy on IIS7.

Annoying but true, so this is just using Bbpress with the normal query string setting.

I will try an older version of bbpress later today just to see what happens.

[chrishajer]

Would this help?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/

[chrishajer]

You need to add this to the top of your wp-config.php right after <?php:

require_once('/path/to/bbpress/bb-config.php');

I would use the full server path to the bb-config.php file, not a relative path like ./bbpress/bb-config.php (rumor is that full paths work better) and not a URL like http://www.example.com/bbpress/bb-config.php (URLs won’t work at all here).

That’s it, just one step. Good luck.

[chrishajer]

Older versions are available. Pick your release from here:

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/tags

[chrishajer]

I think you want the Hidden Forums plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/

[chrishajer]

Can you past that code into something like pastebin or pastie? The formatting is lost displaying it here.

Thanks.

ok, so I added require_once('path/to/bbpress/bb-config.php'); to my wp-config.php file. I then added the bbpress discussions code:

<table id="latest">

<tr>

<th><?php _e(‘Movie’); ?> — <?php new_topic(); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Posts’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Last Poster’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Freshness’); ?></th>

</tr>

<?php if ( $super_stickies ) : foreach ( $super_stickies as $topic ) : ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <big>“><?php topic_title(); ?></big></td>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”>“><?php topic_time(); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; // $super_stickies ?>

<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> “><?php topic_title(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”>“><?php topic_time(); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>

</table>

I added that code to my index.php file in my wordpress theme and this is what I get as the output in the browser:

<table id="latest">

<tr>

<th>Movie — Add New »

</th>

<th>Posts</th>

<th>Last Poster</th>

<th>Freshness</th>

</tr>

</table>

Obviously, there is something wrong. Does anyone know what?

Is it possible to create a password protected forum with BBPress? If so, what is the easiest way?

[parthatel]

ok, so what exactly are the steps to load bbpress into wordpress?

[737705]

Well the plot thickens…..

I had a look at your suggestions and there doesn’t appear to be anything inputted wrong.

So as an experiment I did a clean install of bbpress on my server with no mention of a WP integration and a clean database and exactly the same thing happens…..

Any ideas what I can try to stop this? This is pretty weird….

Is it possible to download older versions of Bbpress to test those….?

[hyperhookup]

I managed to find this in the forums here but I don’t the query string I need to make inorder to create a new user and I changed my password in the beginning so I don’t even know if it applys. Any suggestions?

Edit: Here is the link

[chrishajer]

Wow, that most certainly is a problem.

Two thoughts.

1. If I disable “meta redirects” in FF with the web developer toolbar, it does not keep redirecting, it just dies. Are you trying to redirect people from the bbPress profile page to the WordPress profile page, and somehow that is typed wrong? Like in journal/messageboard/profile.php there is a redirect that sends the browser to WordPress journal/wp-admin/profile.php and it’s not working for some reason?

2. There is some weird test cookie stuff being sent, although I doubt it has any effect on this problem. Never know though.

wordpress_test_cookie

WP+Cookie+check

/journal/

 

I suspect it’s something with a refresh bouncing the user back and forth.

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.
