Hi,

I have BBPress 1.0-alpha-2 integrated with WordPress MU 2.6.3.

Users register and login with WordPress MU and are automatically logged in to BBPress. This all works fine.

The problem I have is that the users have no “role on these forums” despite the fact that I have set the User Role Map correctly.

I can update user’s roles manually, but obviously this is not ideal.

I’m stumped!! Has anyone had a similar problem or know what might be wrong?

Thanks,

Oli

Please take a look at the WPMU tag for some ideas:

I’m wondering how come the developers haven’t given us a real honest-to-goodness integration yet. It obviously works over at wordpress.org, and one has to assume they are using the newest most stable versions.

The wp.org forums use the same template as the rest of the site, so it is obviously integrated with the theme and everything. Curious how THEY did it, because what we’re doing isn’t working.

It may not be integrated, you realize.

My site has the same design on WP and BB, but I only did a bit of login-sharing (I wouldn’t call it integrated personally). It’s not that hard to replicate layout from WP to BB. I think it took me about 15 minutes.

I thought about that too, but it seems silly not to.

I ended up replicating the theme in my current project, I just wish I didn’t have to do it that way.
