I noticed that the keys (auth_key, salt_key) values in the bbpress dashboard aren’t matching WP ones, so I changed it according to wp_config. After that I was logged out of bbpress, and I have this “user doesn’t exist error” when I try to login. How can I fix this ?

(Before that I installed bbpress-integration plugin for WP because since upgrading my WP to 2.8.2 some users began complaining about getting logged out automatically. So I thought the plugin would fix it.)

I’m using bbpress alpha-6.

Did you try recover password?

[@dolugen Member 15 years, 5 months ago]

I don’t think it’s about wrong password. I guess the bbpress isn’t looking up the name in WP users table.

[@chandersbs Member 15 years, 5 months ago]

I have the same problem with my forum, when you try “recover password” it will mail you back your own password and it activates your account again, weird, I know.

[@dolugen Member 15 years, 5 months ago]

Nope, that doesn’t happen. When I try to ‘recover password’ it says, ‘The specified user does not exist.’

Fixed at last…

I digged some database tables, and deleted the bb_integration row in wp_options, and some rows that was added later in bb_meta*.

I pray that WP+BP+bbPress integration would be much simpler

@Dolugen that worked great for me, I was having the same problem. Phew!!

I know this thread is old, but I’m glad I found it. I ran into the same problem as mentioned above, being new to buddypress/bbpress only made things worse, but I follow Dolugen’s tips by deleting a few rows in the DB and I can log in again. *Thank you* Dolugen.

If anyone can help me, or point me towards the right direction, on how to integrate WP/buddypress/bbpress I would really appreciate it.
