When integrating WP and BB

I read that you need to put

$bb->WP_BB = true;

if (file_exists(‘../wp-blog-header.php’))

require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);

else

if (file_exists(‘../../wp-blog-header.php’))

require_once(‘../../wp-blog-header.php’);

in BB-config.php

Is there something that I can put in wp-config.php that works the opposite?

I’m trying something…

This is old but I think it’s still applicable:

so bb-config.php is relatively the same as wp-blog-header.php?

What do I change

$bb->WP_BB = true;

to?

The original post is pretty much wrong.

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

Read the whole page there.

Sorry Sam

Sam, I read that page you linked, but I didn’t see instructions on loading bbPress functions inside WordPress which is what gerikg seems to be looking for (maybe call it reverse integration.) I see the instructions for accessing WordPress functions inside bbPress.

Do I just need to read it again?

Chris you’re right. In BBpress I can use all the WP functions (ex. sidebar) but I can’t use any BBpress function (ex. Simple Online list code) in WordPress.

<?php login_form(); ?> <—BBpress code in wordpress will not work.

Thanks sambauers but I want the opposite/reverse. I want BBPress to load in full when people are in wordpress.

My theory is if this work I can put BBPress code in the WPsidebar .

require_once(‘path/to/wp-blog-header.php’); <– to put in BB-config

require_once(‘path/to/????????????.php’); <– to put in WP-config

That may not be possible at this time.

bbPress is supposed to “move out of the way” of WordPress, but WordPress is not as polite.

so sad.
