first, i setup my bbPress, tested it… worked great! now i went to the config.php and changed the settings to point to my wordpress. my wordpress has in the root directory and mt bbpress was i a folder root/forums/ … for the configuration, i’m sure i did everything right. changed the wordpress prefix from false to wp_ then added in the urls of my wordpress as required. i then removed the // on the next line as the instructions said.

now i loaded the directory with bbpress… i expected to go thru the whole installation thing again but it failed. someone please help?

i’ve also tried activating the plugin for the WP side, didn’t help. here’s the error msg i got…

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: __() in /home/gray/domains/unlimitedinfinity.com/public_html/sandpress/bb-includes/capabilities.php on line 27

What do you mean “but it failed”?

[@mistainu Member 18 years, 1 month ago]

it said something about capabilities.php had an error… so that’s why i added both plugins again, yet both failed to fix the problem.

consider me a first timer dummy and guide me step by step how to go about integrating bbpress to my wordpress?

[@mistainu Member 18 years, 1 month ago]

nevermind, i figured out what went wrong:

near the bottom…

// Use the following line *only* if you will be loading WordPress everytime you load bbPress.

//define('WP_BB', true);

so i removed the //

define('WP_BB', true);

and that’s what caused the problem… now that i replaced the // back, integration works fine. but i have a question?

what was that line even supposed to do? i thought load everytime means i can callup the wordpress functions in the bbpress template? or something to that extent? someone please clarify?

Anyone know how to correct this error? “Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pm_fp_link() in /hsphere/local/home/jamtho/southernillinoiswatcher.com/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/front-page.php on line 70”

[@chrishajer Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

Sounds like that pm plugin is not working or not activated, but it’s still being called by the template?

It’s a good practice to call plugins like so, to prevent these sort or fatal errors if the plugin is not available:

if ( function_exists('pm_fp_link') ) {

// then call the function

}

Then there won’t be a fatal error if the plugin is not available.

Man, I can’t believe that I forgot to reactivate the plugins after reinstall. chrishajer, Thanks! bbPress Support Forums do “Rock!”
