The bbPress role will not be applied for users created in WordPress until the user logs in to bbPress.
The documentation on this site has been updated to reflect the recent changes to installation, upgrading and integration.

You have just described one of the Google Summer of Code ideas that might be going ahead.

This is something I will be pursuing to create better interoperability between different forum platforms.
Sam, It doesn’t let me log out or log in once I add a secret-key. as long as the secret-key is in the wp-config, it just says I don’t have sufficient permissions.
Can’t the bbpress install allow that field to be left empty?
For those that already downloaded 0.9 there is only one file that changed (pluggable.php)
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset?old_path=tags%2F0.9&old=1399&new_path=tags%2F0.9.0.1&new=1403
If you already had 0.9 you only need to replace these two files to move to 0.9.0.1 (and the second is just for the version number change)

Hi. Can you help design a simple vbulletin theme that matches the default wordpress theme? If you know of one that looks similar already please let me know.
Thanks.
Just to clarify I have WordPress 2.5 and BBPress .9.0.1 with the integration plugins installed.
Fresh install of WP2.5 and BB.9.0.1
Within bbpress admin, i setup the maps to from WP -> BB roles
When creating a new user from the WP admin screen, selecting a role of any selection, it will default to the standard member. (verifying by looking under the bb admin user screen)
My solution was to just change the bb_capabilities meta_value to the desired role level of new seeded users.
Yay! Thanks so much for all your hard work. I can’t wait to upgrade!
Why not just dump the database and restore on the new server? Why mess with XML at all if it’s just bbPress > bbPress? No plugin necessary.
Are you including WordPress inside bbPress?
The failure is occurring in WordPress’ pluggable.php file, not bbPress.
Any interest out there in a plugin that would make it possible to output bbPress content into an XML file similar to the WordPress Export so that we could move easily from one server to the next?

Sounds like you just need to logout and then log back in to WordPress once you have changed the WordPress Secret Key
@ obiztekworld
You may not have a config.php file here:
http://www.obiztek.net/newbb/config.php
But you do have a config.php file one level up here:
http://www.obiztek.net/config.php
Which the installer is detecting. Move that file and you can get going with the install.
I think the most important feature for bbPress’ future will be importers / converters.
People are going to want to integrate their forums with WordPress. And those of use already running vBulletin or IPB are going to want to convert to bbPress!
I’ve installed bbPress on my development machine (a Mac Mini) where I don’t have sendmail configured (or at least configured properly). This usually causes my own scripts to fail with a message or throw warnings. In previous builds of bbPress it managed to not care about this and added new users just fine (especially upon install – it just showed me the password & moved on gracefully).
Now, in 0.9.01, I can’t install – it fails after I enter my username and first forum details. And by fails I mean my browser says it can’t connect to the server after I hit submit.
I worked around this by copying over tables from another installation of bbPress on another machine, but then I can’t add new users through the normal registration process. Fails in the same way when I submit the user.
This bug might be too specific to my own environment, but my thought is that it should at least get caught by bbPress and a nice error thrown up (even nicer would be if it just ignored this).
hi, I figured that out around the same time you commented.
Unfortunately, that addition breaks WP 2.5. I can no longer login… it says “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
… it does that anytime I try to do anything admin related.
As soon as I remove the secret-key that I added, everything is back to normal… *sigh* of course this would mean that the secret key in bbpress is no longer valid.
my question is what happens to bbPress when I remove the key from wp-config?
FYI – I tried creating a secret-key according to what I read which lets me finish the install of bbPress however when I try to log in to wordpress I can’t. In fact, I get a message saying that I don’t have permissions!
When I remove my invented secret key, I can login like normal…
@lost, It is a new, optional entry for WP 2.5. You can just add it to your wp-config and pick any key you like:
define(‘SECRET_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);
Anyway, 0.9.0.1 is great! Good job all!
What is the code for posting the author’s name in bbpress? I know <?php post_author_link(); ?> is the name with the link, but is there a different way to get just the name?
I just went to add a bbpress forum to a site I upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.5. On step 2 of the bbpress install, it requests a “cookie secret key” which is supposedly in my wp-config.
I don’t see a secret key there so what am I supposed to do?
“This value must match the value of the constant named “SECRET_KEY” in your WordPress wp-config.php file. This will replace the bbPress cookie secret key set in the first step.”
WP 2.5, BBP .9.0.1 whenever I try to post or log into the bbpress admin I get the following error:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/virtual/mywebsite/forums/bb-config.php:1) in /var/www/virtual/mywebsite/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 689
The posts acutally go through but the redirect seems to choke. Admin no can login.
I have checked both bb-config.php and pluggable.php for blank spaces/lines after the tags. None there. I’m mucho confused. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Chad
My wp-config doesn’t have a secret-key yet step 2 requires it.
