I’m trying to install BBpress on my website, yet I don’t know what to do for the localhost bit in the config file. Can you help me?

[stuzog]

I’ve just installed bbPress 0.8.3 in /forums/ in WordPress 2.3, but when I click on a user name or profile to inspect or edit, I’m taken back to the front page of the blog.

Hovering over the link shows [blog URL]/forums/profile/[user name]. Hovering over the Edit link gives [blog URL]/forums/profile/[user name]/edit.

Other than that, it seems to be working, although I haven’t tested it fully.

Sounds similar to this problem:

Maybe it’s a bug? I don’t see a trac ticket for it.

[chrishajer]

Maybe the restrict registration plugin would help:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/44?replies=3

Or even this admin add user plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/29?replies=3

Or this approach:

Or this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registration-spam-038-akismet?replies=7#post-6274

I have never had a spam comment posted, but I get lots of spammers who register. I just nuke them every couple of days.

[pwdrskier4]

I have added:

require_once(‘path/to/wp-blog-header.php’);

to my bbPress config file to allow bbPress to have access to wordpress functions. Now I want to do the reverse and add access to bbPress functions in WordPress. Is there a similar easy way to do this?

I am getting this error at my site.

I want even tighter integration: I’d like the blog and the forums to share the same comments, or at least duplicate them, so that a comment in one place appears in the other place. Has anyone done anything like this? The bbPress Post plugin isn’t really doing it: all it does is make a new topic appear in the forum, but the comments are not shared and vice-versa isn’t possible, where a new topic in the forum creates a new blog post.

[ryu]

I’m trying to edit the new topic template, but am running into some difficulty. Its fine if the user selects a forum, then selects new topic. However if the user clicks to add a new topic from the forum root the template thats called is a shared include file, not a template itself, so i can’t edit it to fit my design properly without it effecting other areas of the site.

Is there a function to see if this file is called directly or within another template so i can target the styling if the page is called on its own?

I had a bit more detailed diagnositics but have only just come back to this project after a while out, so dont’ have it to hand but this is the URL its calling:

bbpress/?new=1

Any ideas?

[Trent Adams]

Sorry about that folks! It is back online obviously!

[wrsantiago]

Ok I changed all the info and when I reload the page is going to the installer. Would this affect my blog if I install bbpress in the same database.

I know this are newbie questions but trust me I am working very hard on getting better I have big plans and maybe one day I will be troubleshooting a newbie.

Thanks in advance

[wrsantiago]

So technically I dont need the bbpress database? I just have to use the wordpress database for the blog and the forum?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

It sounds like like your WordPress tables are in a different database (with a different database name and password).

bbPress can handle that situation too, but you need to help it a bit more. You need to define:

USER_BBDB_NAME, USER_BBDB_USER, USER_BBDB_PASSWORD, and USER_BBDB_HOST.

(with your WordPress database name, username, password, and host, respectively) just like you defined the regular BBDB_ database settings.

[rudyc]

Sam, I do have a question for you, however. How does one install Akismet to bbPress? I’ve had no luck.

[Sam Bauers]

What version of bbPress?

[rudyc]

I’ve just installed bbPress for the first time at http://rudycarrera.com/bbpress, and it looks like it’ll be a fun program to use. However, I received this strange error message when trying to log out:

bbPress database error: [Table ‘rudycar4_bb.bb_online’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM bb_online WHERE user_id = 1 LIMIT 1

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/rudycar4/public_html/bbpress/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php:158) in /home/rudycar4/public_html/bbpress/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 168

How do I fix that?!

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

See the release announcement.

[andorko]

bbPress is installed in /forums and WPMU is installed in /blogs .

The cookie and database integration works fine.

I am able to access bbPress functions from within WPMU by adding this to the end of /blogs/wp-config.php

// Include bbPress functions in WPMU

define('WP_BB', true); // Avoid duplicate function declarations

require_once( ABSPATH . '../forums/bb-load.php');

I’m trying to add WPMU functions to bbPress. I’ve tried adding this to the beginning of /forums/config.php . I’ve also tried putting this in the beginning of the file.

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/../blogs/wp-blog-header.php')

When I go to /forums/ I’m redirected to the WPMU sign up page (/blogs/wp-signup.php?new=%2F).

I’ve also created a simple file ( /test.php ) and tried to integrate it with wpmu. It it also redirected to the WPMU sign up page.

Test Start

<?php

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/blogs/wp-blog-header.php');

?>

Test End

Do I need to create a WPMU rewrite rule in the wp_1_options rewrite rulerecord? There shouldn’t be any need for an .htaccess rewrite rule since /forums and /blogs are not in subfolders of either.

Any ideas how to make this work?

[flippy]

I agree with u. I also need a converter for my phpbb forum. There is one for phpbb2, but it’s not working with bbpress 0.8.2.1 I mean https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/importing-from-phpbb?replies=26.

[chrishajer]

There was talk a while ago of servers that would not send email, so there was a way to display the password:

Users dont receive password after registration

A lot of that discussion was specifically to get around not emailing the password, it displays it instead. It’s not exactly what you need, but maybe the approach could be the same. You could still require username and email, but then their password would be displayed instead of emailed.

I think also maybe you underestimate your users. The password arrives via email in less than a minute usually. If they can’t hang around for that, why would they hang around on a forum at all?

HTH

[wrsantiago]

I think maybe I need to do this but I dont know how

bbPress will not have access to WordPress’ functions unless you manually tell bbPress to load WordPress first. In order to do that, you need to put require_once(‘path/to/wp-blog-header.php’); in bbPress’ config.php (wp-blog-header is in the same directory as WordPress’ wp-config.php file).

[wrsantiago]

I am trying to make my wordpress blog integrate with bbpress but I think their might be a problem. I have two wordpress blogs in my webserver so maybe bbpress dont know with table to look.

This is if I log in first in bbpress without login in the blog

bbPress database error: [Table ‘libreexp_bbpress.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’ AND SUBSTRING_INDEX( user_pass, ‘—‘, 1 ) = ‘fb756366af4998835a845e97addc3a3b’

bbPress database error: [Table ‘libreexp_bbpress.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’

Log in Failed

This is if I log in to the blog first and then go to the bbpress

bbPress database error: [Table ‘libreexp_bbpress.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’ AND MD5( user_pass ) = ‘d465d8c05bbf7c921e1fad84d4358e44’

bbPress database error: [Table ‘libreexp_bbpress.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’ AND MD5( user_pass ) = ‘d465d8c05bbf7c921e1fad84d4358e44’

This is my conf file

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave it as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://macuserboricua.com&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://macuserboricua.com&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

Help please I would love to mac this two work together

[chanzero]

Thanks for your response chrishajer. You made me realize I had put the quicktags-4-bbpress folder in /my-plugins/ instead of putting the files themselves in /my-plugins/. (Although in my defense, I was just following the instructions of the readme included with the plugin). Just moving them directly to /my-plugins/ didn’t fix anything.

Since BBpress plugin DB seems to be down I decided to download the plugin from 40annibuttati.it and uploading those files fixed my problem. So maybe bbpress DB has a different (wrong?) file? Anyway, this is what worked for me:

Comment Quicktag 4 bbPress Plugin

Thanks again!

[vanoosterhout]

We are excited about the possibility of converting from PHPBB3 to BBPress. However all the discussions about conversion seem to surround previous versions of PHPBB. Am I missing an appropriate thread? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Does anyone know if somebody may be working on this?

Thanks

[chrishajer]

It would be listed in your WordPress wp-config.php – by default, it’s wp_

That’s fine, no trailing slash.

Nope – it’s an independent application that you need to style to get it to look like your WP site.
