Hey there,

my problem/question might be funny, but I just don’t get it. Just upgraded bbpress to 0.9.1 and set it up to be integrated with wordpress 2.5 (they both share the same DB).

in the bbpress config, i have the WP_ prefix set and everything seems to sync well.

But now all posts in the bbpress forums done by users that registered at the bbpress forums are signed as “Anonymous” and all these users are neither listed in the bbpress nor in the worspress admin.

To test, i removed the WP_prefix from the bbpress config, then these users are back, but for sure this is not the idea since i’d like to integrate both things.

Am I getting this all wrong, or is there any way to “import” the bbpress users into WP or something (without manually editing the database)?

Thanks!

Christophe

Interesting design.

Here’s another live demo via bbShowcase:

I had an e-mail saying that the latest bbpress broke my port, so I’ve done a re-release

Yep, site is down…. not encouraging.

Wow, as I read your description of the problem initially I thought to myself, “sounds like a caching issue”.

A good note for the future. I assume you are loading WordPress inside bbPress then?

[Sam Bauers]

If bbPress and WordPress are in the same database then hopefully all you should have to do is add this line to your bb-config.php after the database definitions:

$wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';

I upgraded BBPress and it now does not use the wp_users table. How can I get it to work with the wp_users table again?

Hello all,

I am new to bbPress, just installed it for the first time ever and I am wondering how can I disable the “Latest Discussions” section so that only the forums show on the front page.

Thanks,

Jordan

Actually, found a sweet solution for the stripslashes: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/slashes-being-added-in-front-of-apostrophes?replies=31#post-12563

Still…any ideas on the ahref?

I currently have bbpress .9.0.1. installed as well as wordpress 2.3.3. The user databases are integrated (I have mouldy old cookie and reverted back to the md5 hashing system). The only difference from a normal installation is that my table prefix for wordpress is nothing, not wp_. Now I set this correctly in order to integrate the user databases on the wordpress admin page, however I heard sambauers mention in another post that this could cause an issue with the bbpress role integrator? What is even wierder is if someone registers through bbpress they still do not get a role, and cannot post.

Good question GoeffF, looks like it used to be here:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes

But clicking on it just refreshes the page. Clicking on the author’s link takes you to a rather nebulous blog which for all I know has the code for the theme (if it’s even still the blog of the original guy) but good luck finding it.

Was there a legal issue with posting that theme? Did bbPress not approve?

Hey,

I just released my third bbPress theme! Let me know what you guys think!

Matching WordPress theme on the way.

I don’t know the proper way to fix this. Is the user in the database someone you created or is that someone else? If it is one of your users, I think I would change the email on that account and then request a password reset for that account. Then you can change the password and change the email back. That would only help if the user is a keymaster/admin. If not, this will not help.

There used to be a way to create a new keymaster account by adding a line to the config.php (now bb-config.php).

I would backup your database first because I have no idea what this actually does and I don’t want you to lose anything.

Hi!

Now integration is ok but there are 2 profiles for all the users: wp profile and bb profile. I see people prefers bb profile (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-profile-link-bb-vs-wp, http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-user-profile-link-on-wp) but I want to link the wp profile instead.

Any idea? I need a long explication because I’m beginner.

Thanx

[rbredow]

This one had me stumped but I just figured it out. I should probably document the solve it here in case others encounter the same problem.

Like many people, I have bbpress installed in a subdirectory below wordpress:

/myblog/bbpress/

I also use the popular wp-super-cache plugin for wordpress. It turns out, you really need to add your bbpress directory to the list of rejected URI’s for wp-super-cache. For the above example, you’d want to add this line to the Rejected URI’s field:

/bbpress/

Otherwise, your bbpress board and the administration panel will be semi-randomly showing you old cached pages. Unsurprisingly, this can cause all sorts of strangeness including apparently activating/de-activating plugins, showing plugins that you’ve deleted, etc.

not sure what is going on here, but i am also a bit of a newbie with bbpress.

i created 9 main forums and when i went into the admin section > content > forums i only had 5 listed. i messed around with the “position” number, and now i have three. i have 2 questions:

1) what does the position field actually do

2) how can i get to see all of my forums

for the record, i am the only admin user and the rest of the users are members only. therefore i assume (always a good idea) that i am the only one who could make any edits.

also for the record, i now realize that i didn’t have to change the “position” number to change the order of my forums!

thanks in advance!

[suleiman]

yes it’s working with all the bells and whistles full bang on.

excellent work guys.

I have seen mention of the theme the bbpress.org site uses on this forum and on a theme preview site. The theme is called bbOrg I think.

Where can I download this?

[citizenkeith]

At least I’m not the only one with problems.

I have the plugin activated, and if you type the shortcut, the image does appear. But you can’t click on the image links to make them appear in your post.

[Sam Bauers]

OK, so it looks like you have matched the domains and paths correctly. Have you matched the bbPress “BB_SECRET_KEY” in bb-config.php to the WordPress “SECRET_KEY” in wp-config.php?

Do the secrets stored in each database match?

In bbPress it is the “secret” meta_key for topic “0” in bb_topicmeta.

In WordPress it is the “secret” meta_key in the wp_options table.

(Keep in mind that the cookie contents aren’t meant to be the same as they are hashed against the login time.)

I can’t edit the previous post but before I hire for this project, should I do it straight from IPB to bbPress (which is what I need) or should I have a current phpBB to the latest bbPress created instead? The latter assumption being it’s easier for most to convert to phpBB first, from various others with the phpBB community being so active.

Doesn’t work for me in 0.9.x either!!

Its time someone built a plugin here..
