swaymedia: the full path should not be a URL but a filesystem path, something like:

/home/picbico/public_html/wp-blog-header.php

I tried on my forum and a relative path works there, so I’m not sure that’s the issue.

Be sure that’s the second line of bb-config.php – the first line should be <?php:

<?php

require_once('/home/picbico/public_html/wp-blog-header.php');

 

PHP doesn’t think the file is where you say it is. Can you take a screenshot of the directory listing in an FTP program or command line, and post that? Something does not make sense.

i just read a post on another thread, and saw this checklist:-

1. You are running latest versions of WordPress (2.5.1) and bbPress (0.9.0.2)

ME – yeahs I am !

2. You have matched SECRET_KEY in wp-config.php with BB_SECRET_KEY in bb-config.php

ME – yeahs I have !

3. You have matched WordPress "secret" database option with bbPress "secret" database setting

ME – yeahs I have!

4. You have setup compatible cookie domains and paths in config files (see instructions in bbPress admin)

ME – I take its these two things i have to add to wp-config.php file: – define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”); define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

if so what do I change those parameters to, or do i leave them blank … im not that familiar with cookies .. (my site is http://www.picbi.com and the forum is http://www.picbi.com/forum )

5. You are successfully sharing user tables from WordPress with bbPress

Me – Yeahs I am

[chrishajer]

WordPress functions are defined and available to WordPress.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference

If you don’t need to use those functions, then don’t include WordPress. You don’t need to include WordPress like that to have integrated users.

[724613]

I’m having the same problem! After integrating, I see how the “test user” I created shows up in both admin consoles. However, whether I login to wordpress or bbpress first, the login does not carry over to the other when navigating, which forces me to login twice. I followed all the steps, which also inlcuded adding the following to the wp-config.php file…

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘*******’);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

The only thing that comes to mind is a “minor error” that I received after walking through the “successful install” of bbPress…

Duplicate key name ‘user_nicename’

>>> User tables will already exist when performing a database integrated installation.

I’m wondering if this is the problem. If so, I’m not sure how to fix it. Can someone help?

[725450]

“The only people who can fix the problem won’t be able to see it, as moderator or keymaster. “

Hehe. I can start to cry now right?

[chrishajer]

mdawaffe: that has no effect. I logged out of this chrishajer account, then logged in with a new account from today, hajii. I tried to change the password since it is the default emailed one. I get the error about the user being unable to be found when I try to access the profile page. (Screenshot above.)

It might be new accounts: that hajii account is from today. And it appears to happen only on member accounts, so you might need to create member account and see if you experience the same thing.

The only people who can fix the problem won’t be able to see it, as moderator or keymaster.

[kehlers]

I had this same issue, and I really like having images, so I looked into the code. I am not very savvy about reg expressions, so but if I comment out line 29 ($text = preg_replace("|(.*?)|se", "'<code>' . encodeit('$1') . '</code>'", $text);) from the allow_images_encode_bad function of the plugin, everything seems to work.

Does anyone know if I need that line for anything else? I don’t want to open my site up to hackers or some such thing.

[725431]

I did everything from earigrey’s post and it does nothing. My main concern is since he asks for it to be put in my-template folder how is the software supposed to know that those files are there. So i just replaced the topic file in the template directory. How do i reference the adsense code so the page knows to look there?

[chrishajer]

It’s great that you have shell access. You can backup all the files with something like rsync, and you can use a shell script to backup the database tables you want. Since there are no wildcards in mysqldump, you will need to explicitly name all the tables in your installation; just separate them with spaces.

You can put something like this into a bash script and run it daily (or whenever) from cron:

mysqldump --add-drop-table -h host -u user -p password dbname 

( bb_forums 

bb_meta 

bb_posts 

bb_tagged 

bb_tags 

bb_terms 

bb_term_relationships 

bb_term_taxonomy 

bb_topics 

bb_topicmeta 

bb_users 

bb_usermeta ) | bzip2 -c | bbpress.bak.sql.bz2

 

You would have to consider putting the password into the script and hiding that from prying eyes. Alternatively, you could create a user with limited privileges and no password, and use that in the backup script.

You should also verify the table prefix, and that those are all your bbPress tables. I think there are different tables for different bbPress versions.

Good luck.

[chrishajer]

That line is supposed to allow you to use WordPress functions from inside a bbPress page. It looks like you just got the path to it wrong. Does the file wp-blog-header.php actually exist one directory level up from where the bb-config.php is right now?

[hinch]

I have successfully merged bbpress with my website and it works fine sharing user data and logging in/out… very almost.

When a user first moves to the forum it shows them as not logged in, though if they click a forum link or refresh the page they are then shown as logged in.

I only modified pluggable.php a little to make the cookie easier to handle and I’ve tried adding a function (below) in index.php and template header. Very crude , checking a cookie is set and calling the login function, but it’s just a test:

if (isset($_COOKIE[bbpres...]) &&  isset($_COOKIE[IHuser...]) && isset($_COOKIE[IHpass...])){

$login = decode($_COOKIE[IHuser...]);

$password = decode($_COOKIE[IHpass...]);

bb_login($login, $password, $remember = false);

}

Really I’m looking for where bbpress first checks to see if a user is logged in and sets headers but so far I’m out of luck. Where do I need to put my function so a user will be shown as logged in as soon as the navigate to the forum?

P.S. I will build a more solid function so a users password isn’t in a cookie, like I say – just a test!

[chrishajer]

With the plugin turned off, I received the password promptly and it worked. I would place a bet on that Approve Registration plugin causing the trouble.

Also, the password message I received has some odd looking characters in it.

Il tuo nome utente è: myusername

La tua password è:

The password email arrived with è in it twice, just like above.

Why don’t you just make a sql query ? If you have both WP & BB in the same database it should be easy. Something like:

$blog_posts = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 10");

echo '<ul>';

foreach ($blog_posts as $post)

printf('<li><a href="/?p=%i">%s</a></li>', $post->post_ID, $post->post_title);

echo '</ul>';

unset($blog_posts);

Of course this has errors, i made it without looking ad the db fields. Also, is it get_results or get_rows? I forgot :p

[723891]

Why switch to bbpress? WordPress is highly configurable and there are a lot of plugins. And if you want you can change the source code on your own server…..

[Sam Bauers]

I don’t think they are even using WordPress. Looks like it is all custom code.

Hi Chris,

First, thank you very much for your attention.

So, yes I’ve tried editing the bb-settings.php and bb-admin/plugins.php as recomended, but it didn’t work. I got the following messages:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/wordpres/public_html/forum/bb-settings.php on line 169

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/wordpres/public_html/forum/bb-settings.php:169) in /home/wordpres/public_html/forum/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 37

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/wordpres/public_html/forum/bb-settings.php:169) in /home/wordpres/public_html/forum/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 37

And, yes, I made a database backup. I didn’t do anything yet.

Thanks,

Cátia

No I haven’t moved the forum. The last thing I changed – which must have been a week ago or longer – was adding the following code into the .htaccess file for WordPress (not BBPress):

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

define('COOKIEPATH', '/');

Could that have had an effect? If so it seems odd that it took so long to manifest itself.

Thanks for the speedy response by the way

[chrishajer]

> Any other suggestions? Should I try this sollution?

Yes. The same problem is happening in another file. Your host has disabled or does not allow the glob function. So, you have the 2nd error. Same type of error, just in a different file now. You should change line 7 in bb-admin/plugins.php to this:

if ( function_exists( 'glob' ) && is_callable( 'glob' ) ) {

That will take care of the 2nd error. Then, post your results.

UPDATE: are you saying making this edit did not work? What was your result? Another error? Post the results please.

I am not certain about exporting and importing the database, so I would hold off on this. Please make a database backup now, before upgrading, if you haven’t already done so.

[723416]

Thanks for the quick reply. I saw bbSync previously, and it is not what I need because I don’t want my blog posts to turn into forum topics. I simply want to display my blog posts on the forum homepage. There are actually not going to be any (or rarely any) commenting on our blog posts – it’s for information only. But I want a community homepage that combines the latest blog posts and forum main themes (or categories – not topics as I stated above).

Is there code I can insert to grab the blog posts? Or is there a way to grab and read the blogs RSS feed? If so, how? Thanks again in advance.

[kineda]

Thanks Familiar!

Hi,

I’m currently working on a website which is powered by wordpress, it will have a forum which will be powered by bbpress. I’ve designed the layout to exactly how I’d like it to look (and partly coded the forum index).

Is there anyone out there who would be willing to complete customisation / styling of my bbpress theme?

If anyone is interested please let me know your costs and turn around time and I’ll be in touch.

Cheers!

[Catia Kitahara]

I tryied that solution too and it didn’t work either.

By the way, the php version in my server is 5.2.6.

Anyway, the thing is I want to upgrade my bbPress, but the instructions say I must deactivate all plugins first. I can’t deactivate them without the errors. Is there any other way I could upgrade my bbPress? Could I backup my bbPress tables, delete bbPress files and simply install the newest version (0.9.0.2) from zero and after that, import my tables?

I just can’t believe I’m having such a hard time just to do something that should be easy.

Thanks in advance

[Catia Kitahara]

Thanks, guys,

It helped a lot!

[tbrams]

I have a forum running as an appendix to the wordpress blog we have at lyngbytaekwondo.dk and people love it.

Now after upgrading WP to version 2.5.1 it seems like all my html examples in the forum are being ruined when I try to add something. Right after installing the forum I did a post where wrote a post about how to use som of the html codes available and it worked nicely with the backtick to keep bbPress from formatting.

When I tried to modify something yesterday by editing the post, all the html examples in backticks were destroyed and I cannot get the backtick to work again.

If anybody can recommend a starting point for me to debug this, it will be appreciated.

[chrishajer]

This is the problem right here:

<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>

bloginfo is a WordPress function, but you’re in bbPress. Try hard coding it like this <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> as it is in the default theme, and I think you will find that it works.
