Hey drcoach, usually when I get a whitescreen in bbPress, PHP or WordPress, it usually has to do with the fact that I improperly nested code. Meaning there is some missing ), }, necessary character or a syntactical error in the code. Did you want to paste the whole code in somewhere here on PasteBin?

It’s very easy to do if you know a little of jQuery. Check the template file front-page.php.

md5 checksum stored in the user_pass column of database table bb_users. No salt.

[pedagog]

Hello all

Could you tell me which security type bbpress uses for password protection? Is it md5 and salt or something else. Also, in which file is the code located?

I’m working an integration with my own site – it’s not WP or any other. It is php that I have created.

Thanks in advance

Hey folks.

Did a successful install – with one exception. It said that it couldn’t create the first forum.

I did get a confirmation mail.

But clicking on the link in the mail brings me to this:

---

Oh dear!

bbPress is already installed.

Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?

---

This happens whether I try to log into admin or visit the BBpress root.

This is installed on a fully functioning WP site.

Help?

Thanks!

Never mind! I’m just going to create a separate database

[entrepreneurchic]

Yeah it happened to me earlier when I try to reinstall. However, I’m sharing this with my WordPress database. How to fix?

Thanks Chris!

[pagal]

Ok Thanks I got it,

also add this plugin to bbPress plugins directory

https://bbpress.org/plugins/

[zaerl]

Always wrap PHP code inside script tags

<script language="PHP">echo phpversion()</script>

also remember to make the change explained here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/admin-can-paste-php-code-in-post?replies=28#post-71965

Can you please explain what do you mean about production environment?

A public site. The code isn’t tested at all.

[pagal]

WoW That Works

example to execute code

<script language="PHP">

echo

php code here without <?php and ?>

</script>

Thanks zaerl, you are really a smart person,

Keep in mind that this code isn’t suitable for production environment.

Can you please explain what do you mean about production environment?

Thanks Again,

Cheers

[pagal]

Really thanks zaerl,

please also give an example how to write complete php code to execute with this plugin

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' in /my-site-path/my-plugins/zaerl-Eval-PHP.php(37) : eval()'d code on line 1

[zaerl]

Ops, substitute za_ep_filter with:

function za_ep_filter($text)

{

$eval_text = "?>$text";



ob_start();

eval($eval_text);



$ret = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();



return $ret;

}

Title should be “Can Admin execute php code in post?”, apologize.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hi John,

I don’t know why after all these years that there is a refusal to put a clear and defining sentace saying that this isn’t part of the default bbPress package. It casues so much confusion for new users.

bbPress is a totally separate standalone forum, that can integrate user sessions (login/log-out) with WordPress. Nothing more. Its important to keep that in mind because it’ll save alot of thinking from a wordpress point of view.

That said, theming bbPress is quite simple as long as you know 1 thing: bbPress won’t run WordPress commands/functions/API calls.

Copy your default bbPress theme (the rather lacking Kakumei), rename it both in folder and in the template information held in the style.css file contained within.

You now have your own bbPress theme. Congrats.

The next step is simply to copy/paste the HTML you want to replicate from your WordPress theme into your bbPress theme. If you’re not doing any special processing, I strongly suggest copy/pasting the loaded/outputed HTML from when you load your WordPress homepage in a browser.

If you want to copy/paste from your header.php file in your WordPress theme, remember and take out all of those pesky WordPress functions, and replace them with bbPress equivalent or hardcoded information.

If you’ve ever made your own WordPress theme, you’ll find bbPress follows a very similar path/structure.

Good Luck

[zaerl]

can be VERY dangerous and should be avoided when possible.

Indeed but the title is Admin can paste PHP code in post.

[kevinjohngallagher]

I’m going to go no record an suggest thats the best bit of spam i’ve read in a while. Reading via RSS I thought, why is _ck_ repeating herself?

[thomas.joy]

how can the wordpress admin username/password be used in bbpress login and log in successfully (globally)

also how can the bbpress (if necessary) be used to successfully log in to wordpress and have the global admin?

same for users, which i haven’t tried yet

i’ve setup these (codes removed)

wp-config.php:

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ”);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ”);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ”);

define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ”);

define(‘AUTH_SALT’, ”);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ”);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ”);

bb-config.php:

define( ‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ” );

define( ‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ” );

define( ‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ” );

define( ‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ” );

i copied the corresponding ones to the bb-config.php one

when i log out of bbpress wordpress is still logged in..

[johncalvinhall]

Land Sakes! I get one problem fixed and it still gives grief.

I did as you said, and you were right. It wasn’t my username and password as much as it was the name of the MySQL database, which is ‘wordpress’.

I entered the name of the database, username, and password. It now responds, “Great, saved bb-config.php. Let’s go to Step 2.”

Then I try to move onto Step 2 and it says, “You are missing bb-config.php. This means you are setting things up for the first time.”

The result? It loops me back to where I was!

… long delay… John has a brainstorm….

I figured out what to do!

I basically lied to it, and said the config file was generated properly. Actually, I snagged the bb-config-sample.php, changed the parameters in there (database name, username, password), and saved it as bb-config.php.

The little bugger is now behaving properly!

Bah! If I survive this, I am going to be a monster guru!

Thanks ashfame for your help! Your advice is priceless.

[Radhe]

Greetings

Fred, did you find any solution?

Thanks a lot

[Himanshu Mehta]

yes. it can possible and easily found in net.

[johncalvinhall]

Hello All,

I have setup a localhost on my computer. I am planning on migrating from wordpress.com and moving to a registered domain, and before I start shelling out the $$$, I would like to be somewhat familiar with what I am doing.

After installing PWS, I added WordPress software. Everything is working great, and I am loving what I see. Now I tried installing bbPress, so I can have a forum, and it is hairballing on me!

I am strongly suspicious that the problem lies somewhere with MySQL. I fill out the setup info, and it responds with:

There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.

Please check the settings, then try again.

Where do I find MySQL on my computer? Can I not have separate databases?

:sigh:

I am not a cyber-guru, and I am hoping that I don’t have to become one!

Any help you can provide would be great!

[copperblade]

Ok sorry I didn’t check back for a while (I see “Notify me of followup posts” at the bottom now)

Yeah I mean distributing what amounts to a kakumei-black style. Can I just call it a plugin and upload it to the repo here? I guess not since it has to go in a different directory.

[chrishajer]

Copy the register.php from the bb-templates/kakumei/ folder into your theme folder. If you don’t have a theme file present in your theme, the file from the default theme is used. Since that’s happening now, go ahead and copy the register.php into your theme folder and make the modifications there.
