If you’re getting that error when WP_BB is set, you’re probably not including wp-config.php correctly.

You do not need to load wp-config.php in order to integrate cookies or most anything else.

See https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

and https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#integration-plugins

Thank mdawaffe! I have solved this problem. It looks working fine when I moved BBPress into a sub-directory of my WordPress.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

garymill,

Login problem:

wp_home and wp_siturl will only work if the url for your forums is a “subdirectory” of the url for your WordPress blog. If that is not the case, you’ll need the more fine-grained control mentioned in the Cookie integration with WordPress Documentation

Installation problem:

on Installation, bbPress looks to see if there are any keymasters in the User Tables already. You’ll need to go to your usermeta table and delete the entry:

meta_key = $bb_table_prefix . ‘capabilities’ (example: ‘bb_capablities’)

meta_value = a:1:{s:9:”keymaster”;b:1;}

This part of the installation will have to change in the next version for several reasons. The difficulties you’re seeing is one of them.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

No – WP_BB only tells bbPress that you will be loading WordPress so that it knows not to try to load thingsn which will conflict with WordPress.

If bbPress is installed in a subdirectory of WordPress, put this in bbPress’ config,php

require_once(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/wp-config.php');

I was wondering if this forum would be capable of housing the comments of my wordpress blog inside the forums. Maybe through some sort of plugin or maybe just an option in bbpress itself.

Anything info would be great.

[mozey]

what does that mean?

setting BB_WP equal to true that is. is’nt it suppose to load the header/footer of my wp installationg? if that is the case, it it’nt working.

[mozey]

i am under the impression that there is a default theme with bbpress, mine is not loading, everything else is working. (Well, its installed and ic an add forums etc), but it looks like its not finding a .css file of anysort. any ideas?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

evelardiez,

bbPress comes with such a script. Download the software, fill in the details of you database connection in config.php, and when you first browse to your forum’s URL, you’ll be taken through the installation procedure.

See https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/

bbPress does not have email notification. It sends email for a couple administrative things, but not when new content in posted. It does, however, produce RSS feeds all over the place.

That said, an email notification plugin would be a welcome.

[plasticdreams]

Yea, I agree with lstelie.

WP use subversion to manage each localized file:

https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language

http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-i18n/

How do bbPress’ developers think about managing localized file?

[ngetchell]

great job man, just what I was looking for.

[marky]

I second this request; bbPress is absolutely perfect, and I’d love to switch, but I have a six-year-old phpBB support forum filled with support topics for users to search through. What a shame it would be to lose all that info!

[gnawph]

What exactly did not work?

[ttech]

I tried the same code as above but it did not work for me. I’m not sure if htere is a get_settings in BBpress but, you can use $_SERVER;

[ttech]

If I remember correctly BBpress has an email notification system built in.

[bryanveloso]

Also when bbPress has a true template system, I’ll be making the default skin sort of like Andy’s Sandbox theme, so you won’t have to try to get around my CSS if you don’t want to.

[garymill]

I need a bit of help still with the login issue

My config for this section

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

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

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

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.energizedeating.com/blog’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.energizedeating.com/blog’; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

// Use the following line *only* if you will be loading WordPress everytime you load bbPress.

//define(‘WP_BB’, true);

/* Stop editing */

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

?>

Thanks,

Gary

i saw in the “how to delete a forum?” thread that it has to be done from the backed db, is a post similar? i had expected to see this option in the admin, or an option on the post itself, but i’m not sure if this option isn’t available, or if something is wrong with my install

thanks

and let me just add i am so happy bbpress is ready to roll

[Aaron]

On one of my installs I can use the .htaccess created by bbPress, BUT, I also get the 500 internal server error with the tags. I have the above correction in place and I still get the 500 internal server error.

Multiviews still works just fine though.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

bbPress should get along with WPMU just as well as it does with WP. See https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

[mozey]

how do bbpress and WPMU get along?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

bbPress now has a tiny FAQ section in its Documentation.

For now, it covers the following topics.

Pretty Permalinks.

Useful Plugins when integrating with WordPress.

Where to put custom plugins and templates.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

root9, this is due to a typo in bbPress rewrite rules. Use these instead: https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks
