hi all, hi cookye/code Godness.
I’m a small useless human with many needs,
greatest one now it is NOT to have blog users sharing login,
but it’s only and ‘simply’ to ‘automatically’ import IN BBpress
Wp’s posted articles (even not the old ones)
Would this new beta help in that,given my WP config (2.7) has not
1 or more requested ash /salt/pepper/ things?
Your…faithfully
If working solution will come up
I’ll commit to start english class too.
Your users do not need to be admin to post in your forums. I created an account in the forums and was able to make a test post. Take a look at the permissions I have there. I did not create an account on the website, just the forums.
While testing bbPress 1.0 Alpha 4 I am not able to change the name of any topic —I do not know whether this is a known issue or not; the procedure just looks fine, though the title stays the same. If this extends beyond me I will go to track.

Well, that’s different… 
But I just realised you are using bbPress 0.9 – the bb_mail() function has been replaced in 1.0-alpha with one more like wp_mail() in WordPress.
It was replaced in part because people had problems sending from Windows environments. You have probably just pinpointed the cause of that. Just a few months too late unfortunately!
For now I would just hack the core of 0.9 if I were you – it is unlikely to see any more updates. The replacement function in 1.0 should take care of this, although I would appreciate it if you could test 1.0-alpha for the same problem if you have some time.
Well, basically I’m not sure how much more time it’s going to take to get things right for the final 1.0 release.
I could set a date, but then if it wasn’t met there’d be a whole new set of expectations and complaints to manage.
bbPress 1.0 will be released after the “1.0-rc” (release candidate) versions, which will come after the “1.0-beta” versions which will come after the current “1.0-alpha” versions.
Basically there is still very new or experimental stuff in the 1.0-alpha releases. Once that newer functionality is tied down we’ll be able to move to 1.0-beta which should only contain cosmetic changes and optimisations. Then once those are complete we’ll move to 1.0-rc, during which we will generally only do bug fixes. Once the bugs are ironed out, we’ll go to a final 1.0 release. Hopefully the minor point releases can be kept to a minimum after that.
How long is that piece of string? Maybe one maybe two months. It actually depends on people testing more than anyone coding, although if we can get more people contributing patches to core it would be great too.
They’re no where near the point where they want to pimp a finalized product. Personally, I’ve seen far too many projects like this fail because they promoted themselves before they were ready. Right now, even though there is a stable version, the whole site is pretty much a big public test. There’s too much going on to be able to guess a date, and based on the past, if you held a gun to my head, I’d make things up. Which is what developers do when our bosses want to know how long it will take to build the next toy for our companies. We don’t know, sometimes. Creativity (and yes, coding is just that) is hard to measure.
So. It’ll be done when it’s done. Not by years end. Hopefully us posters can help hammer out the big issues to get them to a live 1.0 version sooner, but it’ll take time
It seems like 1.0 has really come along nicely the past month or so, with many frequent bug fixes and trac updates.
I know I’m new to the bbPress game, but I really do hope and plan to stick around as a beta tester and plug-in developer once I’m totally comfortable with what I figure out from poking around.
Hi!
I’m giving a try to a deep integration. I want to load bbpress in my wordpress theme so I have a modified bbpress kamukei where I load wp header, sidebar and footer.
I installed bbpress 1.04a, I activated the new plugin, edited wp-config.php as plugin required, I founded that all this still didn’t load wp header and I modified bbpress bb-config.php with;
define('WP_BB', true);
if ( !defined('DB_NAME') ) {
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wp-config.php');
}
Now, it seems everything works ok; bbpress loads wp-header, I have access to bbpress control panel, both, admin and users can post, I can log out… I’m going to keep my beta-testing and I’ll further report but I think Sam did it so CONGRATULATIONS.
I’m not sure that I’ll want to load bbpress functions into wordpress so far because what I need is all the contrary; to load wordpress into bbpress so I can have a very simple and integrated forum. However, having the bbpress control panel integrated into the wordpress panel would be great.
The idea of bbpress as a plugin is very nice but Sam is totally right when he stated that we have a stronger foundation as a stand alone. Perhaps that little plugin as a “bridge” is the way to go.
configure the WordPress plugin and also follow it’s instructions to modify the wp-config.php file in WordPress.
Did that.
Further to this, you should clear out any manual settings you have made to bb-config.php in bbPress and re-check your settings in the “WordPress integration” page in bbPress admin.
Did that.
Then clear all your cookies and retest.
Did that (went in to Firefox’s cookies and after logging out, whacked everything from my domain).
Result: Login is not shared as I think it should be.
If I login on bbPress I can get into my WordPress admin area, but I do not show up as logged in on the WordPress ‘regular’ side. If I go to comment, it says I’m not logged in.
Also, if I have this line in, I can’t log in to both at the same time:
$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_<long string>';
I think clearly something’s wrong on my end, but damned if I can sort out what!
EDIT!
I watched my cookies as I logged into bbPress after being logged into WordPress.
WordPress makes two entries for wordpress_logged_in_<long string>! Both have ‘Domain’ of .domain.net, and then path of / and /blog/
bbPress has one entry and it has Host of domain.net (no leading . ) and path of /
I fixed the host/domain part by setting $bb->cookiedomain = '.domain.net'; but I’m pretty convinced this double existence of the logged_in cookie is what’s screwing me up.
Hello David!
A fully integrated version of bbPress 1.0 is being tested here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-10-alpha-4-released
If you can help out with the testing, that would be great!

I’ve also briefly tested the deepest integration possible with a cross include; including BBP into WP config, and WP into BBP config, thus allowing all functions in all areas.
You are a braver man than me.
I’ve also briefly tested the deepest integration possible with a cross include; including BBP into WP config, and WP into BBP config, thus allowing all functions in all areas.
Aside from the really painful overhead and the possible plug-in conflicts, it seems to work that way also.
I do highly recommend clearing out all cookies once you’ve got everything setup.
Sam, I’ve got homework I need to do for the next few hours, but I promise by tomorrow morning I’ll have a write-up for you.
People having issues with cookies etc need to remember to configure the WordPress plugin and also follow it’s instructions to modify the wp-config.php file in WordPress.
Further to this, you should clear out any manual settings you have made to bb-config.php in bbPress and re-check your settings in the “WordPress integration” page in bbPress admin.

Sam…
Logged in as KeyMaster, using the BBP1.0alpha4 (non trunk) and using the BBP Integration plugin for WP (trunk) I can confirm that all cookies, logins, logouts, and admin panels appear to be working from every direction.
WordPress installed in “ROOT/” directory.
bbPress installed in “ROOT/forums/” directory.
Pat yourself on the back soldier, we have lift-off.
Once I am comfortable with my findings and can test this more thoroughly I’ll write a detailed how-to integrate topic ASAP.
Side note: It also all appears to still work even with deep integration in the bb-config.php file. Still testing so stay tuned with that.
I’m not sure it fixed everything. Or at least not with root cookies.
If I log in via bbpress I’m logged into bbPress AND WordPress Admin but NOT WordPress user. If I try, subsequently, to login as WordPress user, it acts like I’m logged in, but if I go back to a regular page, it doesn’t work. If I then logout on bbPress, I can log in to WordPress. This happens in reverse as well. I can’t be logged into BOTH at once.
The ‘fix’ to that was to add this to wp-config.php
// Cookies
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.domain.net');
define('COOKIEPATH', '/' );
Which has the even WEIRDER side effect of logging me out between apps. Log in to bbPress, fine. Log in to WordPress, logged OUT of bbPress. Ad nasuem.
The ‘fix’ to that is to disconnect
$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in';
Which is sooo wrong.
FWIW:
Even if you have integration set up perfectly, if you login from WordPress you will not get the correct cookies set to be able to access the bbPress admin area.
Also, if you are doing what johnjamesjacoby describes above you will get a similar problem as the bbPress roles will get squashed by WordPress.
There is a fix for both of these problems available, but it is only tested with WordPress 2.7
@johnjamesjacoby
The login forms don’t pass around nonce values generally, so it should be of no concern.
What happens as of right now is that the role map you setup in the admin area only gets applied to new registrations either when you save the changes on that role map form or when the new WordPress user who is missing the role in bbPress logins in through bbPress.
On your site as it is right now this never occurs because you force all logins through WordPress. Just now in trunk I have changed that so that just visiting the bbPress site with a valid cookie will set your role in bbPress.
I suspect that all the problems with loging out in your case are going to come down to having a bunch of stuff manually set in your wp-config.php and bb-config.php
Here’s what I think you should do…
- Update bbPress to the latest trunk version
- Remove any hardcoded settings in bb-config.php and wp-config.php WRT integration
- Install this brand spanking new plugin (get the trunk version for the moment) http://svn.wp-plugins.org/bbpress-integration/trunk/
- Recheck your integration settings in bbPress – don’t hardcode anyting into bb-settings.php
- Configure that plugin in WordPress
- Copy the wp-settings.php lines specified in that plugin to wp-config.php (probably only one line for you)
Let us know how that goes.
I will be around more again now 
Been a busy year! Thanks for the cleanup code _ck_ and I will test it tomorrow. Hi back to everyone
Trent
Untested code cleanup (just for fun – untested)
function force_login_init() {
if (!bb_is_user_logged_in() && !preg_match("/(bb-login|bb-reset-password|register|xmlrpc).php/s",$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
nocache_headers();
header("HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily");
header("Status: 302 Moved Temporarily");
bb_safe_redirect( bb_get_uri( 'bb-login.php', null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_HEADER + BB_URI_CONTEXT_BB_USER_FORMS ) );
exit;
}
}
Good to see you Trent, don’t be a stranger!
Thanks for the response and it clarifies all of my questions.
Regarding nonces, the catch twenty-two with them would be if logging in and logging out of either/or BBP or WP don’t both affect both, or if adequate traps aren’t placed to disallow one or the other.
Example is visible at my live test site http://www.delsolownersclub.com. If you’d like to try this, register yourself and use the invite code “bbpress”. (Registering makes you a WP contributor, and I need to assign your membership role in the BBP admin manually as of right now.)
When you’re in the forums, the logout link won’t work, because the login through WP generates a nonce that BBP doesn’t know and can’t find. Because the nonces are by design different, if I login through WP and try to logout through BBP, WP will pitch a fit without the correct nonce. Make sense or am I off track here?
Alpha 2 works pretty well but 3 seems a no go until Mr. Bauers finds what’s broken.
Curious Sam if you test this on a live environment yourself, or what the process is?
Oh, irony. Now it’s not working (cleared my cache and purged cookies to test something else).
Interesting… With shallow integration, logging into bbPress logs me (as user and admin) into WordPress as a user but NOT as an admin. For about 20 minutes. Then I tested Deep Integration and now it fails all together.
Well, my first impression of beta 3 without including is that login integration doesn’t work at all.
Without the “deep” integration in the bb-config.php:
- Logging into WordPress leaves me logged out of bbPress.
- Logging into bbPress leaves me logged out of WordPress.
- Logging out of bbPress leaves me logged into WordPress.
- Logging out of WordPress leaves me logged into bbPress.
With the “deep” integration in the bb-config.php:
- Logging into WordPress leaves me logged out of bbPress.
- Logging into bbPress leaves me logged out of WordPress.
- Logging out of bbPress leaves me logged into both bbPress AND WordPress.
- Logging out of WordPress leaves me logged into bbPress.
So, login integration worked better in beta 2 unfortunately.
I haven’t tested the themes or functions yet however.
Hi!
I´ve just tested out the bbPress 1.0 and i´ve got a weird problem, the topic is not showing up, i can add and delete forums but if i start a new thread in a forum it doesnt show up.
When i post a new thread i got the message: “This topic has been closed” but the “Topics” counter adds the thread so it is created.
The forum: http://www.speedrevision.se/forum/
Any suggestions?
