I tried that but there is apparently a problem when mergin because when I open the merged file there is nothing from bbpress language file inside.
Can I use copy paste to merge the two files ??
I’ve been trying to update my profile. Nothing is changing but it is giving me an error where it says Keymaster under it says Invalid Role.
I’m using the WP Version 2.5.1 and BBpress 0.9.0.2 same database.
That may not be possible at this time.
bbPress is supposed to “move out of the way” of WordPress, but WordPress is not as polite.
Chris you’re right. In BBpress I can use all the WP functions (ex. sidebar) but I can’t use any BBpress function (ex. Simple Online list code) in WordPress.
<?php login_form(); ?> <—BBpress code in wordpress will not work.
Thanks sambauers but I want the opposite/reverse. I want BBPress to load in full when people are in wordpress.
My theory is if this work I can put BBPress code in the WPsidebar .
require_once(‘path/to/wp-blog-header.php’); <– to put in BB-config
require_once(‘path/to/????????????.php’); <– to put in WP-config
Sorry Sam 
Sam, I read that page you linked, but I didn’t see instructions on loading bbPress functions inside WordPress which is what gerikg seems to be looking for (maybe call it reverse integration.) I see the instructions for accessing WordPress functions inside bbPress.
Do I just need to read it again?
The original post is pretty much wrong.
https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/
Read the whole page there.
I loaded bbpress into the /forums/ directory and then went to http://natureforkids.net/forum/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php
I got this message:
“There doesn’t seem to be a bb-config.php file. This usually means that you want to install bbPress. We’re now going to go through a few steps to get you up and running.”
I followed the link and entered my database name and database user and password which I got from my host. I entered the info and got this message:
“There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.
Please check the settings, then try again. “
I re-did this a couple times, checking and rechecking the database info. I keep getting this message.
I created a directory called /forum/
now my remote system looks like this.
picture of folder ..
picture of folder.hcc.thumbs
“” _db_backups
“” cgi
“”forum
“”php_uploads
“” stats
“”wp-admin
“”wp-content
“”wp_includes
etc.
do I load bbpress into the /forums/ directory now?
Create a directory called /forums/ and upload the bbPress files there. You definitely do not want to put them under /wp-admin/. If you have, you should delete those files.
You can name the directory something else if you like.
I’m a really new website owner. I don’t know a lot about manipulating html code. I’ve read the step by step instructions for installing bbpress but It’s not enough …I need indepth instructions.
This much I have done. Downloaded bbPress to my PC. Unzipped the file.
I have WordPress already on my web host account.
Where do I put bbpress? I would like to have them integrated.
Do I put it under /wp-admin/?
You can create a file called info.php and put this into it:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Then access that at http://www.example.com/bbpress/info.php and see if the getmypid function is disabled (just search that page for getmypid.) If it is, I imagine you can just remove that bit from class-phpass.php line 43.
$this->random_state = microtime() . getmypid();
In this instance, getmypid() just returns the pid of the process that called it and that is concatenated with microtime to provide a random number. You can use something else there and be fine, I think. Or, ask your host to enable it if it’s disabled.
I don’t think permalinks are required to use the RSS feeds. This thread has gone in a couple different directions. It started as RSS feeds but then whistler20 mentioned what he did with rewrite rules and his RSS feeds started working. I don’t think the original problem was solved in that manner.
Anyway, permalinks are not required for RSS feeds. If you are having a problem with RSS feeds I think the problem lies elsewhere. Are there actually content items posted that would be in the RSS feed?
rss result is empty
Can you post a link to your forum? Maybe someone new looking at it will see items in the RSS feed, possibly something cached on your side?
I also got problem with integrate with wpmu 1.5, the user sharing is ok, but it got some login cookie problem, when I logged in wpmu, I need login again in bbpress.
It looks like your host has disabled several PHP functions that are required by bbPress. Who is your host? You can try contacting them and asking what functions they’ve disabled.
Alternatively, maybe you’re running under PHP safe mode? If so, try turning safe mode off. This scenario seems more likely to me…
It looks like your WordPress htaccess file is screwed up, as this link to a WordPress post doesn’t work:
* http://www.charitableorthodoxy.com/2008/05/13/hello-world/
Did you create an htaccess file for your WordPress install? Also, did you create one for your bbPress? If so, please paste in the contents of each htaccess file. If not, try creating one. 
Oops then the username got deleted from database!
Is it true that both jen and admin don’t work either in wp or bbpress?
If yes then you may have to add that to database via some SQL query or register again. But if you register again it will be registered as normal user and you won’t have admin rights, since there is no admin present so who will assign this new user, the admin powers.
Register as some username xyz and look in the userlist the entries that exist wheather or not admin/jen is listed.
Good day,
I just installed wordpress and bbpress on my domain, charitableorthodoxy.com last night. When I try to view a post, it results in a 404 error? I can’t figure out why. Anyone have any ideas?
By installing the forum (bbPress) and access to the loguin created this with the error message:
Warning: getmypid() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/g29890/public_html/******/forum/bb-includes/class-phpass.php on line 43
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/g29890/public_html/tiagobigode/forum/bb-includes/class-phpass.php:43) in /home/g29890/public_html/*******/forum/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 188

someone might help me?
Thank now
When users on my site sign up using the forum signup, it successfully integrates them into wordpress, but they do not have a nickname, so all comments appear as Anonymous.
Normally wordpress would automatically set the display name default to be the login name, but they dont seem to for this.
Any way i could edit the BBpress files to make wp have a name?
ekitel, this is not really related to RSS feeds is it?
What you do is access http://www.example.com/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php, then take what is generated by that script and put that into your .htaccess.
The FM is right here:
https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks
I’m looking for a plugin for bbPress that shows the latest posts on the forum front page. With the default theme this would be shown as snippets (text of the actual post) below the Tag Cloud/Hot Tags ‘widget’.
I can’t seem to find a plugin, except the one that does just this on your WP installation if you’ve integrated with WP. Does this exist for bb as well?
so what changes do I need to make to /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php to make it work? where is this F-in’ Manual I need to read? I have bbpress integrated with wordpress so maybe that’s part of the problem
or are you saying I need to copy the rules out of /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php into my wordpress .htaccess file to make it work?
Strange, I was able to use spaces in mine. Perhaps it has to do with punctuation marks in the string.
