Hi, Am new to this site and hope am posting this query in right place.

I recently downloaded bbpress forum software . The integration was successfull with wordpress . But I want the users in my website to access the forum without need of registering in it again.

I dint find any means of achieving this. Can anyone help…

I tried changing the forum code., but i think it is not a good idea.

CHeeRS,

My bbPress is non-English forum name.When user register from my forum. The password mail title not display correct my forum name.How to fix it? Thanks!

[myu]

Thanks for reply.

Me, I personally don’t mind using alphabet for username, but have to think of target audience. Got me worried a bit.

I hope in the future version there’s some sort of conversion mechanism for people that’s already registered using utf-8 encoded username. (pretty please..)

Hello! On a BBPress forum I am creating, I need for unregistered users to be able to see the titles of Topics and Forums on the forum home page, but not be able to actually read the threads. Ideally I would like the name of the Topics and the Forums to be hyperlinked as they are now, but if you click on them, you are taken to the Log In Page. It must be possible, but all I am finding are ways to hide the names of the topics, which I do not want to do.

Thanks!

What about already registered accounts on bbpress/wordpress? Mine don’t work together and in fact if I log in in my bbpress it breaks my wordpress, I have to clear the cache/cookies to be able to login to the WP again.

I had the same issue as the original poster. I tried the .htaccess solution but I couldn’t get it to work. I used the other solution (editing the register.php) and I’ll keep in mind to check it again on updates.

I thought I made a mini-plugin to fix this.

Yup, I did.

To give you an idea of what I’m talking about:

http://chocolatebydeath.com/forum/

User: Rauko

PW: IIlCuxOmYRpn

This is a test user I just registered. Once you log in with this data, you’ll see that this account is extremely restricted for whatever reason. It’s the same with my own admin account and other user accounts.

I restarted Firefox 2, checked cookies which was allowed for this site, and the same problem occurred. I didn’t mention before that after I click on the Register button, my username appears in the top left of the page, again with the form as I completed it. I also tried this in IE6 with cookies allowed too. The same problem occurred.

This happened to me once before. I thought I was seeing things. In my case, it was cookies or something because when I restarted the browser and tried again, it worked fine. Can you recreate the problem in another browser?

[kannued]

When I register (click on the Register button) there appears to be a transfer. But then when all it done, I am still on the register page with the form filled in. I would think I would get a thank you, your password will be sent to you. And yes, the two required fields are filled in properly.

[kannued]

The test registered name is not in my database, just the original keymaster user.

[kannued]

I installed the alpha on its own database. When I test register, I am not sent a password, nor password sent when I try to recover password.

Hi! When you try to register a name containing accents, the accents are stripped.

Any solution ?

(0.9.0.2 & the bug is visible on this forum)

[mheslop]

I’ve just installed (yesterday) the newest stable versions of WP and BBPress but am having problems with the cookie integration.

Account information is working and shared (you can login and register on with BB or WP), but being logged in/out of one does not effect the other.

My bb-config.php didn’t have a SECRET_KEY, but i’ve added one now :-

define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’,’blah-blah-blah’); // (ok not exactly blah blah blah)

and put the same (omitting BB_) in wp-config.php.

I also set the following in wp-config.php

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘mydomain.co.uk’);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

This doesn’t seem to be required in bb-config.php (? is that right ?)

bbPress is installed at mydomain.co.uk/forums

I’m not sure what i’m doing wrong, it’s probably simple, but I just seem to find lots of conflicting documentation for different versions and nothing i’ve tried seems to have worked.

Other question, will there be a conflict between mydomain.co.uk and http://www.mydomain.co.uk as I’ve set cookie_domain to omit www. but when public users will likely prepend www to the domain name.

Hi,

I installed bbpress yesterday. I followed the installation guide and the forum was successfully installed. I have a seperate database for my bbpress.

I have not integrated our wordpress blog to the bbpress forum. I also did not changed our wordpress settings like “users must be registered to login or comment”.

Today, I just noticed that the comments on our wordpress blog are gone. You can see them in the wordpress dashboard but when you visit the post for example here:

http://www.rewardcreditcardsite.com/how-to-spot-a-non-rewarding-credit-card/

It says it has “3 comments” but you can’t see the comments or comment box.

I removed the bbpress, but it didnt bring my comments back. Can anyone help? Thanks

Here is a function list for the v1.0 alpha one. As the developers do not add any documentation I found this on the net. You can you this by your own if you have an older or newer version of bbPress by doing this command in the terminal (linux or mac):

grep -oe ^function.*) bb-includes/template-functions.php | sort > functions.txt

This idea is Tims (http://timjoh.com), I used updated his idea.

Free forum software that is under active development

> Is it secure?

Yes.

> Will it get spammed to death?

No. It comes with Akismet to prevent spammers from posting, and you can use the Human Test plugin to prevent them from registering in the first place.

Yes. Even the latest Alpha version has been stable for me.

> use it with confidence?

It’s designed for people who need forums. Businesses and individuals alike use it. Check out these people using bbPress.

[_ck_]

Cookies have nothing to do with reading the forum (unless there’s a hidden/private forum). Cookies are about identifying yourself as a registered member and giving you the ability to post. But a secure login method and cookie means that no-one else can pretend to be you.

The mini-plugin is to prevent Google from showing a “cache” link on your pages when people find results from your website. They’ll have to visit your site directly, and if it’s a hidden/private forum, they won’t be able to just read it through Google’s cache (which can’t see it anyway, unless someone changes “Hidden Forums” behaviour).

[_ck_]

There’s no hacking involved in that process.

It’s just a simple workaround.

The foolish forum operators are allowing anyone with the user-agent of “GoogleBot” into their private forums. And/or they are allowing Google to cache their private forums. The reason why they do this is they want Google to send them traffic and the only way they can do that is to let google see the content of the hidden forums.

bbPress doesn’t do this by default and no known plugin does it either, certainly not my “hidden forums” plugin.

My Mini-Track plugin can tell you the difference between real Google and people pretending to be Google. It’s very easy, you just do a rDNS on the ip and see if it goes to a google owned ip block. rDNS is very slow (1-5 seconds) so people don’t normally do it by default.

You wouldn’t have to delete the spammer profiles if you didn’t let them on in the first place. Install my “Human Test” plugin and 99.9% of them will never register.

[kannued]

I came across these articles that says usernames and passwords do not necessarily mean privacy thanks to Google’s cache system. If you have the knowledge, these private areas are easy to hack. I’m wondering how bbpress’s privacy plugin stacks up against this hacking.

On a slightly related issue:

I have noticed that ALL profiles in any forum are public. If you keep sequencing then, you can see each person’s profile, which means even the spammers that are blocked can still be viewed with their websites, emails, and interests. This unintended promotion bothers me. If I start deleting the spammers profiles, I will just have a lot of work to do. The perfect world is that profiles that are approved should be the only ones available by sequencing.

ie.

[geekymom]

Yep, that’s the only thing that doesn’t work. I was able to register another user, post to a forum, etc.

The install is on a linux box. The directory for the install is /var/../…/bbpress

[shoggy]

My setup is fully working, except :

when a user register via wordpress, he dont get the good capabilities, so he can’t post on bbpress!

user registered via bbpress get the good capabilities (a:1:{s:6:”member”;b:1;} in wp_usermeta).

In the admin integration option (http://domain.tld/forums/bb-admin/options-wordpress.php), I mapped wordpress subscribers to bbPress members.

How can I fix this ?

Thanks!

btw, does some know if there is a planned release date for bbPress 1.0 ?

[Erica S]

Thanks for the idea, I didn’t think of it that way. I just assumed that if I had accounts in WP then I didn’t need to create any in BBpress. Well, I tried that just now and something weird in the database. After registering a test member in BBpress I looked in the database and all I saw was the “non-existent” keymaster, the newly registered member wasn’t even in there. I looked in the WP user tables and the member was there but not in BBpress even though that’s where I registered them. This is a clean install, so there’s no plugins and editing the config file didn’t work either.
