bbpress should have some plugins intgrated,
– Hidden Forums
– PM
– Quote
– Group creating (doesnt exist)
– Private Forums
– Forum Moderators
– Report Post
its annoying to check if these standard Plugins are up to date.
is there a way to migrate all wp posts (made before activating bbsync) to bbpress?
And.. a way to show the comments in bbpress in the wordpress comment template?
Hi,
I have my blog http://www.bootstrappingblog.com and just started setting up a community for it here: http://community.bootstrappingblog.com
My problem is this, when I’m logged in as an admin in the community (bbpress), I go to login to the wp-admin and it keeps refreshing the login page and saying to re login again.
I looked for a fix or another post like this but couldn’t find it. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Mike
Solved… of sorts. It was something in the theme that manifested itself on an upgraded DB but not a fresh install! Very odd.
Update: Got the template working for some strange reasons but still getting the overflow error when clicking through to a topic:

Hi All,
I upgraded our forums to .0.9.0.2 after testing a new theme etc. extensively on a fresh install elsewhere. After all was worked out, I went in to update the existing forum and while it sort of works (for some reason the well tested .9.0.2 theme is not working), the server is returning “PHP has encountered a Stack overflow” whenever you click any topic on the index page. Could it be a server mapping issue?
I also upgraded WordPress on the same DB and no issues at all.
Any ideas?
PS: The upgrade reported no problems)
I got this on an IIS server too.
The simple fix seemed to be to cut and paste the following into the new config file after the line “$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!” …
// If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.
// Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.
// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.
$bb->domain = ‘http://mydomain’; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com’
// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.
$bb->path = ‘/’; // Example: ‘/forums/’
Once the upgrade was done, I could go back and remove the lines and it all seemed to work.
Is there a list of matching WordPress and bbPress themes anywhere? I’d like like to find a nice starting point for some modification.
Youhou I think I found a more simple solution than merging bbpress and wordpress language file:
– Download your bbpress language file (for me fr_FR) then rename it using another name than the language file you use for wordpress (in my case my wordpress language file is fr_FR and I renamed it in ru_RU) then put it inside your /wp-content/languages folder.
– duplicate wp-blog-header.php and rename the copy as wp-blog-header-bb.php
– duplicate wp-config.php and rename the copy wp-config-bb.php
– open wp-blog-header-bb.php and replace the two occurences of wp-config.php by wp-config-bb.php
-open wp-config-bb.php and replace the line define (‘WPLANG’, ‘yourlanguage’);
by define (‘WPLANG’, ‘newnameofyourbbpresslanguagefile’); (in my case I replaced define (‘WPLANG’, ‘fr_FR’); by define (‘WPLANG’, ‘ru_RU’)
-In your bb-config.php replace wp-blog-header.php by wp-blog-header-bb.php
You’re done now each time bbpress loads wordpress will load your bbpress language file instead of the wordpress one.
I hope my explainations were clear.
A++
I’ve searched and searched for this on the forum, but I can’t find anything on it.
I’ve been trying to set up a BBPress system for my WordPress blog. I figured WordPress was easy, so BBpress should have been too. And it was. I installed it all and it worked nicely – I even posted a few things on the forums I created.
The problem came when I tried to integrate my WordPress blog’s users with BBpress. I added in the proper field (I can’t remember what it was) the wp_user file, but it simply crashed the whole thing, and now I can’t see any of the BBPress system or pages – I just get the following message:
“Your user table prefix may only contain letters, numbers and underscores.”
I’ve tried Googling it and seraching on your forums, but I couldn’t find a similar event – so am I a techno nitwit or is this a genuine problem? The URL of the site is: http://mnins.dr-spangle.com/bbpress/.
Cheers, I look forward your reply.
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.
