Check your Users in WP and make sure they were moved across. It might be that they are not even taking the default role and are not subscribers in WP, but listed in WP. That is the way I have mine setup anyways.

Let me know.

Trent

*EDIT*

Sorry Spencer, you already said they are not moving across. With proper integration, I don’t even have a users table in the database for bbPress. It only uses users of wp_users.

I have worked on my forum for some time: http://www.crazy-media.com/bbpress/

Well, i guess i messed something up, the “profile” menu that used to appear at the top-right corner disappeared. Anyone know how to cal the function?

One other, not releated, problem is that if you tag a forum to much the post disappear longer and longer down the screen. Do anybody know how to limit the tags shown at a topic to maby 10. And is it any way to disallow unregister users to add and remove tags? Some idiots “may” remove every tag and add something like “hitler and anal sex i greate” like 200 times…

I’ve just installed bbforum to test and play around with, but have hit a niggling problem – I hope people can help.

In the breadcrumb navigation for tags, urls of this forum work:

http://www.learning2goblog.org/bbforum/tags.php?tag=bbpress

but if I click onto the “Tags” link in the breadcrumb navigation (i.e. I open

http://www.learning2goblog.org/bbforum/tags.php), the page does not load, and in Firefox I get the message

---

The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

---

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I’m using the latest version of bbforum, no permalinks.

Thanks for any help you can give.

As I had said in my blog post, I have those plugins up and running, but.. the problem is that those that register on the bbPress forums, are not able to post comments on my blog, as their username..?

Plugins are:

WordPress Integration (0.7)

bbPress Integration (0.72)

Display-Name

bbPress Post (0.02)

It’s not pulling their email address, and their nicknames have to be assigned by me, in the blog’s control panel, under USERS? I’d hate to have to edit each USER on my blog, so they can post as their “nickname or username”.. rather then “Anonymous”..

Anyone with suggestions, and so forth?

[Trent Adams]

It would be a bug with the default template because it isn’t wide enough for the username, but not bbPress. I could suggest a fix for this, but it would only be widening the left portion and decreasing the right portion of the template. Simple change to the style.css file.

Strange, I wondered about this as well

[Trent Adams]

Good to hear.

My bad. resolved it –

https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

I had enabled pretty permalinks but had no .htaccess file.

in the /forums/ directory I created a .htaccess file and added the line

Options +MultiViews

as per instructions and it worked like a charm.

Hello. I am trying to install bbpress under a WP2.0.5 install at http://www.inkriti.net/wp1/forums/ . I have gone through the documentation for integration at http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/ and looks like things come up fine.

However, when i add an entry, or click on a tag (e.g. http://www.inkriti.net/wp1/forums/tags/mytag) i see a blank page! not sure why.

Its the same issue when I try to click on a forum topic – e.g. http://www.inkriti.net/wp1/forums/topic/2?replies=1

The variables in the config file are

$bb->domain = ‘http://www.inkriti.net’;

$bb->path = ‘/wp1/forums/’;

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.inkriti.net/wp1’;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.inkriti.net/wp1’;

This appears to be a wierd issue – i know i am missing somethign simple. IN particular I see that both $bb->wp_siteurl and $bb->wp_home are different from $bb->domain – could this be it?

Any help will be appreciated.

hey, i found something. look at this post:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/92?replies=2

see how the name of karmatose is covered by the post layer?

i think that qualifies as a bug?

First off, which plugin are you using with WP for LDAP authentication?

My understanding of some of the plugins is that the user has to be created in WP first. Not sure if they automate this process or not. All that changes is the authentication process, the password from the LDAP server and maybe the cookie.

Standard WP and bbPress integration works with sharing the WP users. If the LDAP plugin doesn’t use the WP user password, not sure if this information would move over to bbPress.

Short of testing it, I would imagine it would depend on whether the password is updated in the WP users table of the database. Maybe ask the plugin author if he/she thinks this would be possible?

Another thing, there is a plugin that pulls the users out of WP into bbPress. That being said, if the username and password are stored in WP, then there shouldn’t be a problem integrating even with using LDAP.

Of course, if someone else knows something that could be added to this discussion, please do!

[billybobjcv]

Does the WP-BBPress integration work if WP is using the LDAP plug-in for authentication? In other words, if a user has been authenticated via LDAP to WP, can that user be automatically authenticated to BBPress? Or, if the user must be challenged again to enter BBPress, can BBPress also use LDAP for authentication?

[Trent Adams]

Kinda shooting in the dark here, but will it install as http://localhost/forum/bb-admin/install.php ?

I am not sure if bbPress has to be installed with a fully qualified domain name or not.

Maybe check out this thread as well in your search.

I am trying to install bbPress to my local Mac into a subfolder of my test WP installation which has been set up and working for over a year now.

This means my url is not an ‘www.example.com’ address but a 127.0.0.1 (or, in my case, my local network IP which works just as well). So I have set up config.php with this address. and the path as ‘/forum/’.

When then trying to run the install script however, it just takes me to a comletely blank page. (A similar problem was raised here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/143?replies=1 but received no reply).

Does anyone have any ideas what this points to?

[Trent Adams]

Seems to be top notch Spencer. Excellent!

[Trent Adams]

Good thinking. Using the logged in status natural to bbPress to do this. Just looking at the code it would work, but I will test this out on my dev forum and report back as well. I could see this expanded into a plugin very easily….

Trent

[spencerp]

Nevermind! I figured it out, whooami had made some changes to a couple files, to help fight off spammers.. The changes were made to the theme’s comments.php file, and the wp-comments-post.php file.. except when I had upgraded the blog to 2.1 alpha3, I didn’t re-add those changes to the 2.1 alpha3 wp-comments-post.php file..

All is good now!!

I needed desperately a script that would restrict all access to unregistered users so I wrote one. But I am an absolute beginner so don’t know no nothin’ about elegance or whatnot but I just tested it in my installation and it works.

The thing is naturally bb_press has authentication scripts. but to make all you website protected you need to put this in your header.php. However bb-login.php, which your users need to login also use the header.php, so I had to make sure that this small script runs on all pages EXCEPT the login page.

Here’s the script:

<?php

$login_page = $bb->path . ‘bb-login.php’;

if ($_SERVER != $login_page) {

if ( !bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {

header(‘Location: ‘ . $bb->domain . $bb->path . ‘bb-login.php’);

} else { }

}

else { }

?>

How to Use it:

1. Copy paste the above code to your my-templates/header.php AT THE VERY TOP of the file. Make sure you leave no empty space before the <?php line (use something like TextPad – it’s free). So you header should look like:

<?php

$login_page = $bb->path . ‘bb-login.php’;

if ($_SERVER != $login_page) {

if ( !bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {

header(‘Location: ‘ . $bb->domain . $bb->path . ‘bb-login.php’);

} else { }

}

else { }

?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN” ….

That’s it. Since I use the values you provided in you BBPRESS setup all the paths should be correct.

Like I said I am complete newbie, so use at your own risk. BACKUP your header.php, or if something goes wrong just delete the script you just added.

Hope it works for you,

Caner

From what I’m getting, by the search in the WP.org forums is, with that bbpress Post plugin, needing the trailing slash at the end of the FORUM URL, where the normal 2 URI’s of the blog don’t… it’s conflicting, right?

Is there away around this maybe, or something.. ?

UPDATE: Maybe Trent might know the answer to this one, but.. when trying to post a comment (while I’m logged in, not sure about others that are not though), it spits the following Error: “Error: please type a comment.”

P.S. OR, aren’t you supposed to have the “comments link” on there..?

Just wanted to say, this is freaking awesome!! I have just integrated bbPress, with my blog running 2.1 alpha3, as well as some awesome plugins!
