Hola de nuevo Ganzúa y cia.
Lussumo era temporal hasta que BBPress madurara algo más, ahora, por fin, lo he implementao en la Web junto con Wordpres y a decir verdad, pese a usar versiones Release, me va genial.
He de decir que para integrar BBPress con el nuevo sistema de passwords de WP2.5 he tenido que meter el diff de BBPress previsto para la 0.9… así que como decía, realmente uso todo releases: WP2.5 y BBPress 0.83+el hack para el password de la 0.9
Can someone PLEASE help me, this is ridiculous!!
I have the respective integration plugins enabled on both WordPress and bbPress
1) If I sign up in WordPress, the bbPress user has an inactive role
2) If I sign up in bbPress, the WordPress user has NO role ***AND*** my Key Master account is DEMOTED to a role with no abilities to post, edit profile or anything.
Please someone take some time quickly to help me solve this issue, it must be something I’m doing wrong here.
I’m using the latest 0.9 release and WordPress 2.5
Looks like I’m running into the same or similar issue.
Localization works fine on my local system, which is WordPress free.
I’ve uploaded the same configuration onto a hosted server and this one fails to internationalize. I realize now that the hosting provider offers WordPress as installation option out of the box. I suspect this to be the reason why the internationalizations fails, presumably because of some preliminary setups for WordPress are in place already.
Is there a clean solution to get bbpress internationalized without all the hazzle from WordPress? I intend not to install the WordPress package.
Having trouble with localization as well.
It works on my local Windoze system without problem, switched to German very smoothly.
But not on the hosted Linux server, shows English only.
Configuration is 100% identical.
Any ideas what might be wrong with it?
I’m on bbpress-0.8.3.1
Thanks.
Hi
The role mapping has always been set in the admin, but I clicked ‘Set Role Map’ again – didn’t work. Did a test registration from bbPress… the user in WordPress has ‘no role for this blog.’
Again, I sign up in WordPress, the user in bbPress is ‘Inactive.’
Could this possibly be something to do with the Role Manager plugin in WordPress? If it is, it’s weird as my default role is still Subscriber…
I really want to sort this ASAP as members will be seeing the forums from next week and it will be bad if they can’t access one or other section until I’ve manually changed their roles.
Go to the WordPress integration options page in the admin and set the user roles at the bottom of the page. Doing so will update any existing users lacking roles in either WordPress or bbPress.
Once the user role mapping is set it will add roles to WordPress as well as bbPress from then on when a user registers in bbPress. WordPress registrations is another matter though, I thought a subscriber would have defaulted to being a member in bbPress. I.e. if they had user data but no role the default is to make them at least a member. Can you check this?
We are looking for a bbPress developer to bid on the following project:
1) Select, install, configure/customize bbPress to integrate with our web site and user login system
2) Replicate some functionality of our existing bidirectional mailing lists with new discussion board infrastructure
3) Import old messages (mailstore_ database format)
4) Import older Yahoogroups messages (maildir format)
Detailed requirements here:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddqq5n63_70hmjmm8fv
bbPress is the preferred basis for this project, and we will ONLY work with providers who have specific experience with bbPress and other online forum systems (e.g. phpBB)

Hi there,
I would like to switch my forums over to bbPress. However, I can’t seem to find a plugin that will let me display blocks of information in different parts of my forum. For example in Vanilla forums, the “Nuggets” extension lets me add any php code to the header, threads, after the 3rd post, at the footer, wherever. I personally could use this functionality to display Google Adsense code after the first post of every thread. Is there any way I could do this with bbPress?
Thanks a lot!
I’m running the latest version of 0.9 and WordPress 2.5.
How easy is it to make so that if a user signs up on either WordPress OR bbPress’s register scripts, the correct user role is assigned?
Right now, if a user on my site signs up on WordPress, they get a Subscriber role but no role on the forum. If a user signs up on the forum, they get a Member forum role but no role on the blog.
I dabbled with the plugins to supposedly fix this but succeeding in little more than somehow stripping both my WordPress AND my bbPress admin priviledges, which I had to put back in phpMyAdmin, to much strife. Yes that’s right, I ended up as a bog-standard member on bbPress and a Subscriber on WordPress. It was NOT fun.
I really want to fix this as this is all that stands between me and a fully integrated WP/BBP. Thanks in advacne
How about this plugin to fix this very thing:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/#post-821
I believe you use it once, then remove the plugin. Don’t leave it in the plugin folder after you’re done.
Getting thread back on track.. i have no access to IRC at the moment, but I definitely think this is AJAX related. It sounds EXACTLY like the issue that above plugin fixed in WP. I’m willing to bet bbpress has a similar promlem with AJAX decrypting cookies.
I agree. I know bbpress isn’t ‘designed’ to be a drop in integration with wordpress, it seems obvious to me that that should be a major focus. There’s simply too many issues with integration for two projects that share so many concepts, etc… Hopefully 2.5/0.9 will solve a lot of that. It shouldn’t be too much longer after that that WPMU will graft the 2.5 code. I just can’t believe there’s threads on here from 2 years ago about problems sharing cookies.. that are still active. heh.
Oh dear!
I’ve been trying to get my integrated setup to work better. It was all perfect except for how the roles differed so if you registered on bbpress, the WordPress admin panel would fail for you and the new user would have no role.
So what I did was installed the bbpress integration plugin on WordPress. Somewhere along the way though, I’ve lost all admin privileges on my blog. I literally can’t access the Admin area!
Someone help?
OK, Thanks for all that. The plugin now works!
One issue remains.
The image URI seems to be missing ‘my-plugins’ from the string.
http://headonradionetwork.com/forum//support-forum-no.png
I attempted to edit the plugin. Line 283
$this->iconPath = str_replace(rtrim(BBPLUGINDIR, ‘/’), ”, dirname(__FILE__)) . ‘/’;
adding ‘myplugins’
like this:
$this->iconPath = str_replace(rtrim(BBPLUGINDIR, ‘/my-plugins’), ”, dirname(__FILE__)) . ‘/’;
gave me this:
http://headonradionetwork.com/forum/um/my-plugins/support-forum-no.png
I am bewildered by that one.
I can cope till version 9 comes and I can upgrade to 3.0 of the plugin. The status text is there. Not earth shatteringly horrible. Not even public yet. But soon!
Thanks for the help sambauers and chrishajer. Having been a WP person for a while now, BBPress follows in the great tradition. I knew this was the right way to go.
nolageek, I’m with you on the integration. Seems people are usually looking for three things from bbPress:
1. User integration with WordPress out of the box
(registration/login)
2. Theme integration with WordPress out of the box
(make the forum look like the blog)
3. Working slugs or permalinks out of the box
(why is it so easy with WordPress and so hard with bbPress?)
(Regarding MU, I have no idea. I’m talking mostly about WordPress.)
I would say those are the most common requests in these forums, ones that come up over and over.
Sorry for hijacking your thread.
Yes, use the older one (2.3) for bbPress versions earlier than 0.9
Functionally there is little difference and you can upgrade both bbPress and Support Forum together later on without loss of data.
Thanks for pointing in the right direction chrishajer.
WPMU users really are kinda out there on their own right now, sorry. Using 0.9 is probably not an option anyway for you since WPMU uses different style cookies unless there is a plugin to solve that (and there might be, I am not sure).
I assume you looked at the user meta directly to ensure the roles are set correctly for bbpress?
does bbpress use it’s own Ajax decryption? I’m OK with following/mucking up php and html, but all that Ajax stuff is beyond me.
This could be related to the albatross that is ‘integration’ that seems to haunt me from host to host. Now, I WORK at the webhost and have access to root and WHM and everything, but still… I’ve never been able to get WPMU and bbpress to play nice. I’ve followed every set of instructions I can find on it, too. Nothing seems to work. (cant wait for the new versions!)
Just a thought but I would look at the wp nonce if it’s only happening with ajax. If it’s not being sent or interpreted correctly, I don’t think bbpress will let you do admin actions, even if you are admin.
(Oh and the newest Suhosin has the option to hide itself in phpinfo)
I got paros running, could login to a bunch of sites (gmail, yahoo, here) but kept asking me for my bbpress’ login over and over.
What exactly do you want to see from the session in paros?

Did you download the legacy 2.3 version for bbPress versions prior to .9, or are you trying to run v3?
https://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/browser/support-forum/branches/2.3
“Plugin could not be activated; it produced a Fatal Error.”
I am running BBPress 0.8.3.1
I have re downlodad the plugin in case of a bad copy. Still no joy.
I just got an email from someone with a WordPress 2.2.2 site, and all of the sudden she lost the ability to create a new post (in the last month anyway). She gets a javascript error. Take a look at the screenshot:
http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/ajax-permissions.jpg
She is using IE7. I did not get the same error when I logged into her blog and created a new test post or page (with either IE7 or FF.) So, she cleared her cookies and everything is back to normal. Maybe it’s something simple like that for you as well.
I wonder if there was some sort of update on the server (or a couple different hosting companies or something) that is causing these problems. Maybe they upgraded a package because of a vulnerability?
this make widgets work in forum..
this is only for the 2.3.x wordpress and current version of bbpress .. the new version of wordpress and bbpress might have a different approach
