I think I’ve got everything set correctly in my config.php file, but for some reason whenever I login to WordPress then switch to my forums, I’m logged out of bbPress. If I log into the forums then switch back to WordPress, I’m logged out of WordPress.
I have the ‘define’ and ‘require_once’ lines in my config.php file, and registered WP users *are* showing up correctly in both locations…isn’t it supposed to be possible to login once for both? Note I’m using Safari…
Cheers,
Matt
There’s only 1 user in bbPress (admin account/keymaster)
There are thousands of users registered on my WordPress blog, http://www.kineda.com.
None of the registered users from WordPress are showing up in bbPress.
It seems as if the wordpress-integration plugin in the /my-plugins/ folder isn’t doing it’s job. Is there a way to check if it’s running?
lo all, I have the same problem as Staffan, when I use this fine plugin, I get no name name displayed, I have just installed the 0.75 of BBPress, and I do not have any option in my profile to enter a nicename at all, hence why the assigned database entry (‘user_nicename’) doesn’t hold a Nicename 😮
Well I could enter a Nicename via phpMyAdmin, but that’s surely not the way to work that out, because tbh I am way too lazy, to do that for every future user registering with the forum 
==edit==
Nevermind my post above, just sorted it out, it works, IF you install BBP with the database tables from WP in the config.php, but NOT IF you install BBP without these information
So the nicename from the WP user-table is being used, also means, users have to enter their WP profile to change that, as this is NOT possible via BBP profile
Thx anyways 
==end edit==
Anyhow, a pretty nice plugin, keep up the good work Atsutane 
Mike Baptiste, maybe I don’t understand how the whole thing works, but in my database, they are stored without the href information, in the bbpress_posts table, and the <a href= stuff is added upon display. So checking the see that they are not there in the database might not be a valid check. Mine are stored without the href and they display fine and are clickable.
Also, when entering a URL in a post, I don’t enter the href or anything else, I just put the URL in there, with a http://, and it becomes clickable automagically when it’s displayed. Without the http://, it appears that sometimes they are not identified as links by bbPress (especially when there is no www. at the beginning.)
I just registered at your forum, made a post with a link in it, just the URL, and it is clickable. Maybe you’re doing too much work trying to add the <a href=""> </a> stuff? I never tried to know that it doesn’t work. Things that look like URLs are made clickable by bbPress.
actorjiml: there is a lot of stuff going on with that page making it not XHTML compliant. Check here for your site:

I can’t select any of the discussion text on the page either, like something is preventing it. The source looks fine (other than the errors) and I would guess that whatever is making the text non-selectable is also making the links not work.
Once you are outside the discussion (like the RSS feed link at the bottom, and the Register Link up top) the links work fine. So maybe a misbehaving plugin or template modification is causing the problem with the discussion text.
One other thing: if you disable the CSS, the links work fine.
My pleasure. I still can’t figure out why it doesn’t register right away. But, it’s not at the top pf my list for problems to figure out. If you DO solve it, please let me know. Did you get version 1.3 working amenadiel?
Still have no register email. I will wait until I get it before I can post anything back.

I am registering a test account to try and see your error. Just waiting on the account creation email. When did the error start appearing? Did you make any changes to your template prior to it happening?
Trent
Ok fixed, thanks.
But now when I browse to /forums/ it isn’t integrated with theme?
The register link from the forums is integrated into wordpress theme, though the page is messed up.
I for one am not sure what you are looking for.
Are you looking to use the email addresses from the bbPress installation to send out an email newsletter? So, the registration emails become your mailing list? What will the newsletter content be? Is the content from your forums? And if so, what content will be sent?
Also, if people did not opt in to your newsletter (they just registered on your site), you could be spamming them with a newsletter they didn’t ask for. That’s illegal in the US (CAN-SPAM compliance) and might be illegal in other countries too.
Actually, when integrated both programs use the users of WP. If you delete a user in program they are gone in both. You can change roles around in either program and it doesn’t affect the role in the other. If you have a user in WP and don’t want them to post in bbPress you can change their bbPress role to inactive. All they would have to do is register another user to post though. WP is different. Registrations in either program creates user in WP with default role until you change that

Roland, you might see that there’s at least a sense of humour here, and at best, a whole bunch of people who are interested in making the design better, so don’t be shy, say more, explain what confuses you, what irks you, what pleases you.
Of course, you might not be a person at all, you might be a bot that’s been programmed to send just one message so as to avoid bozo-type forum filters that automatically kill off users after they’ve registered but not posted; then later you’ll update your website link to one that sells gentleman’s remedies.
We can’t see it without registering and logging in!

No problem zapata. To get rid of the register link, you need to download login-form.php from /bb-templates/ and then edit it as follows:
Change this part from:
<p><?php printf(__('<a href="%1$s">Register</a> or log in'), bb_get_option('uri').'register.php') ?>:</p>
to get rid of the register, you could just comment out this line or change the wording:
<! -- <p><?php printf(__('<a href="%1$s">Register</a> or log in'), bb_get_option('uri').'register.php') ?>:</p> -->
Once you have edited that file, upload it to a new folder (if it doesn’t exist already in root) /my-templates/ as bbPress will use that file first and if it doesn’t exist, go back to the one in /bb-templates/
As for the registering with WordPress, I was only referring to the abilitity to turn on or off registration in WP admin. If you turn it off, then you can add the members you want through the admin.
That should get you going!

Trent,
Today is my bbPress Independence day. Everything seems to be working just so smoothly. Removed register.php and Voila…
two questions:
(1) What file do I have to look in to remove the “Register” link on top of the page
(2)When you mention “People can still register using WordPress” do you mean the authors or me (admin) has to do anything “beyond” what I do to register authors in the admin section of WordPress
Since you are integrated with WP (I would assume), removing register.php from bbPress root directory would get rid of that particular issue. People can still register using WordPress or just added as members by you in the WP admin. That would be the easiest way.

Hours after I setup my site, I found 12 spam users, whose URL is just a porn site. They seem to use automatic system to register.
To fight against, I used a very easy way:
1. I added a note to the website field of registration form: Do NOT fill in this field. Only spammers do.
2. Add the following line after
Line 13: $user_url = bb_fix_link( $_POST );
It blocks any registration with the website field:
//Added by Jian Shuo Wang to avoid spam users
if(! ($user_url == ”))
My assumption is, robot don’t read about the “NO website” claim and people do.
exit;
im using the latest version 0.75, and the only plugin the i have is allow image.
I uninstalled right now because when my friend register in my board and try to login we get that error and can´t login i will delete allow image to see if that plugin is the one of the trouble
I’ve done some searching around the forums regarding this issue; haven’t found anything sim. to my problem though – is the error on my side?
I’ve set up wordpress and bbpress on my sandbox apache server and enabled sharing accounts between wordpress and bbpress. When I create a user on the wordpress end, that user gets correct status in bbpress. However, when I register a user through bbpress, it gets far too high privileges on the wordpress side (author)!
I’d like to manually set new users to read-only on the blog side of things.
How can I prevent this?
Is there a way to modify the Private Forums plugin to allow me to grant accss only to specific users? The way I see it, it doesn’t need to be that difficult. The strategy would be:
A list (array or whatever) is added to the top of the plugin as follows:
$allowed_users_for_forum_1 = ‘username1, username2, username3’
$allowed_users_for_forum_2 = ‘username1, username2, username3’
1) If a forum is not marked private, the forum is shown (just like the original plugin does now).
2) If a forum is marked private, before it is shown, a check is made against the above list.
– If there is no listing for that forum_id, then anyone registered could see it (Just like the original plugin does now).
– If there is a listing, the forum is only shown if the user is amongst the users listed for that forum_id.
This would be a useful solution until a roles-based forum access functionality comes around.
I tried messing with this myself, but think it is a bit out of my league right now (though I am trying to learn). Is there someone out there who could swing this?
Alright. I’ve done some investigations and I think I know why I get a blank space: when a new user registers through bbPress it seems like he’s not given any “display name”.
In the default template’s register.php, I replaced the registration form with a message and link and it seems to have worked just fine. ( http://www.bandtr.com/wordpress/bbpress/ ). If there are some other factors at work that I am not aware of and need to know about, please let me know.
Forgive me if I misunderstand, but after looking at the source, could I not simply replace the registration form in bb-templates/register.php with a message and a link to my form? I don’t see how the user could already be added when no information has been collected.
My bbpress forum is now averaging one registration spam per day – where a user registers, adds their pills or porn site details to the website field, then never visits again.
Check your registrations guys ‘n’ gals, you may find you have a lot of unwanted members (*cough*) linked from your sites.
I’m thinking it’s time registration requests went through Akismet – but for this to happen there would have to be a UI for spotting false positives.

I have a site with bbPress and WordPress. They are all integrated to where if you log in to one location, you are logged into the others as well. I also have (well, am working on) a unified registration page where I ask for all needed information and write it to whichever database needs it. Since I have this, I need to have bbPress lose the ability to register. Should I just change register.php to inform the user to register on the main registration page, or is there a better way?
