No. Unlike '/bbpressfolder/' (I presume), 'wordpressuser' and 'wordpresspass' are not placeholders for your actual value: they are the literal values you will have there. Check your wordpress cookie; those are what they use. A part of the structure is:

wordpressuser_site-unique hash=your username

wordpresspass_site-unique hash=hash of your password

With his settings, bb should now be using that too.

[kaolin]

doesn’t that just make it so anyone who goes to bbpress can work as you?

[kaolin]

I just ran into this myself… Didn’t think to check here for a workaround. I have bbpress installed as /forum/ and my approach was to add an htaccess with the following:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /forum/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(.*)?$ /forum/$1.php [PT,QSA]

It seems to be working fine.

It has been fixed in trunk, but you may need to wait for 0.8.4.

I have tried to use pretty permalinks and am having no luck so far.

Could someone please help me

I tried using the

Options +MultiViews

and when I click on the links I get 404 Error.

Then I tried using the

rewrite-rules.php.

and I get:

blockquoteInternal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webadmin@kundenserver.de and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

blockquote

If you go to http://www.328solutions.com you will see it! (That is with the rewrite-rules.php)

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? If you need more information please let me know! I really want to use BBPRESS as I love WordPress!!! And don’t really want to use any other forum.

oh btw, seasons greetings

Hi there,

Users can register and login in to my wordpress section of my site, and this automatically makes then a bbpress member also. The problem however affects only people whose user name contains a space in it. Though they are resisted members of both wordpress and bbpress, they cannot log into bbpress.

Any ideas?

[florille6]

Hi everybody,

The french website with the french translation files has closed, is there anybody with the files ? I’ve installed BBPress and now the only thing missing is the translation :o(.

[livibetter]

This is stolen from WordPress Extend Ideas. I made (or I should say I duplicated or pirated?) this for getting your ideas to be my motivations. But, while writing this I found out this not just “Ideas”, this actually is an application of how to have different themes for your forums and topics. And you can also have permalinks like /ideas/ or /ideas.php.

No modifications on core files, but need to add two files. 1 plugin file, some modifications on theme.

You can see this “Ideas” on my forums. Scroll down to the bottom, you will see it. Click on “Got an Idea?” or “Ideas for bbPress” (read the URIs, notice the differences?).

This is not ready for a release, however you can download it from repository and read this draft documentation (if you want to play with it).

And you can post your ideas for “Ideas” or others.

[fel64]

Wouldn’t it be best to mark the entire topic link up? Sounds good, though.

Anyway, for enhancements add a ticket on https://trac.bbpress.org/ and mark it as such.

That only prevents keymasters from demoting themselves. What I want them to prevent is administrators demoting keymasters.

In WordPress, when a page title is the same as a previous one, the slug gets a number appended to it, like this-was-written-about-before-1, so I imagine bbPress has the same protection built in. The slug needs to be unique.

[goldfiinger]

I copied and pasted WP_config details and forgot to change it to BBDB

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘bbpress’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘username’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

As soon as i corrected these I no longer had any errors.

Hi, livibetter

Thanks! I have sorted it out, besides “$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’; “, I added the following in bbpress config.php

“

$bb->path = ‘/bbpressfolder/’;

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

“

It is strange that I still can not find any cookie file generated when I logged in WP but my WP works correctly, so weird… anyway, my problem is resolved, I am happy now:)

[livibetter]

I think bbPress works normal, but WordPress may not. After you logging in WordPress, is that logging effective? Can you get into WordPress admin pages?

[italways]

Hi, livebetter

Thanks for your reply!

I added “$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;” in the configure.php, but it does not make any difference, then I check my cookie, and find something interesting, when I logged in WP, it did not create any cookie at all, but when I logged bbpress, it creates cookie for mysite.com, probably that is the reason caused the problem, how do you think? thanks!

[livibetter]

yes.

I think you only need

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

If this is not working, please check your browser’s cookies. See what WordPress and bbPress send to you with what host and path. If you not sure what to check, try to clean cookies, then log in WordPress and bbPress.

[italways]

Hi, livibetter

yes, $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl set as http://mysite.com

do you mean this link:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-domain-settings?replies=4

[livibetter]

Seems that l10n.php of bbPress wasn’t loaded.

Did you also do a WordPress FUNCTIONS integration?

What is your config.php of bbPress? (you can post it to http://bbpress.pastebin.com , remember to remove dbname, dbuser, dbpassword)

[livibetter]

Are $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl set as http://mysite.com?

There is a setting can force bbPress to access specific cookie path (like /, that is what you need), but I don’t remember what it is. You can try to search for that.

If you find that post, please also link to it in this topic.

[livibetter]

Have you followed the steps of How do I get Pretty Permalinks working??

[italways]

Hi, livibetter

Thanks for your reply! yes, I installed them as you said, and my WP is in the root directory.

WP: http://mysite.com

bbPress: http://mystie.com/forum

When I logged in WP, then go to bbPress, it need sign again, actually, I can sign in with another different account in bbPress, and it won’t impact the account in WP, like they are absolutely in different cookie domain.

Do you have any idea about this? thanks!

[goldfiinger]

Yes i’ve changed it back now and its all working fine just completed the install.

Only thing now is that i can’t seem to post or read the test posts that are already there.

It’s saying :

The requested URL /home/bbpress/topic/1 was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

When i click on: your first topic

Or when i try to post a new topic

Any ideas ?

Correction I can post topics I just can’t view any. But it does show the new topics I’ve made. But doesn’t let me view them ?

http://the3rdplace.co.uk/home/bbpress/

[goldfiinger]

As discussed in this post https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fatal-error-prior-to-installation?replies=10

Comma’ing out lines 81 & 82 seems to do the trick. (i hope)

But now i get 5 new Errors

As follows:

Warning: constant() [function.constant]: Couldn’t find constant BBDB_NAME in /home/the3eco/public_html/home/bbpress/bb-includes/db.php on line 58

Warning: constant() [function.constant]: Couldn’t find constant BBDB_USER in /home/the3eco/public_html/home/bbpress/bb-includes/db.php on line 59

Warning: constant() [function.constant]: Couldn’t find constant BBDB_PASSWORD in /home/the3eco/public_html/home/bbpress/bb-includes/db.php on line 60

Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: A link to the server could not be established in /home/the3eco/public_html/home/bbpress/bb-includes/db.php on line 73

Cannot select DB.

Not sure if everyone has this much trouble installing bbpress but its becoming a pain, I’m sure the information i entered in my config is correct as i just copied and pasted from the wp-config file. Don’t understand how i could have done it wrong.

Anyway if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
