I’m trying to get the wordpress functions inside of bbPress and vice versa, and therefore get the buddypress functions into bbPress as well. I tried the method described here: http://labs.b5media.com/blog/creating-the-anypress-solution/ but to no avail. In short, it involves adding this code to the bottom of my bb-config.php file:

// Include WordPress functionality

$currDir = dirname(getcwd());

// Make sure this isn't install or admin (go up if it is)

if(!file_exists("$currDir/wp-blog-header.php"))

$currDir = dirname($currDir);



if(!file_exists("$currDir/wp-blog-header.php"))

die("Cannot find WordPress integration files.");



error_reporting(E_ALL);

require_once("$currDir/wp-blog-header.php");

The only clues I have from my error logs are a 404 error and a white screen of death when I try to access my forum root, which is at /community. Also, my rewrite log is here: http://pastebin.ca/1572291

Please note that im using an external install of bbPress intentionally because I need the forums to be centrally located and somewhat separate from my blog. Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated!

One thing I question but suspect is not related to this problem is: shouldn’t you be including wp-load.php instead of wp-blog-header.php?

First pass at a fix for “deep” integration in trunk

You can search these forums for both wp-load.php and wp-blog-header.php to see which one should be included.

But, you’re only getting a 404 in the Apache error logs? What page is being logged as a 404?

Do you have access to PHP error logs? The blank screen is probably a 500 error, so looking at PHP errors will allow you to see what’s causing that.

Ok, so I was mistaken – its a 200 response with either wp-load or wp-blog-header and the fatal error from the logs is:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class BPDB in /Users/mrh/Sites/irrational.dev/community/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 39

[AphelionZ]

So, upon closer inspection its a buddypress + backpress compatibilty issue – they both use $bpdb as their database abstraction class… hmmm…

[AphelionZ]

So what I did to patch this was comment out the BPDB function on line 140 of /html-root/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress.php

Not ideal, I know – but it allowed me to keep working. Here’s the paste. http://pastebin.ca/1574452

I’m open to suggestions

Sweet, John James Jacoby posted this patch that should fix the issue!

@chrishajer I believe I found originally that including only wp-load.php did not register the actions and filters in WordPress and I wanted to keep those for our specific installation. But generally speaking, it would carry quite a bit less load

@AphelionZ I am very glad you solved the problem, congratulations!
