Using login_form from bbPress on a WordPress site
-
I’ve managed to integrate everything perfectly between my WordPress and bbPress site except this last part. I want to call up <?php login_form(); ?> from bbPress and show it in my WordPress header.
The reason I want to do this because I have a “Login” and “Register” button that changes to something different if the user is logged in. Like this;
Is this possible? Thanks for all help so far. The bbPress community has been very helpful so far

Hey guys,
You’re really trying to do something here that was never intended.
bbPress was coded to create the same (or a readable) cookie from wordpress.
Deep Integration, the allowing of wordpress functions to be called in bbPress, is totally unsupported and unintentional. If you can hack it to make it work then cool, but really, you’re on your own for the most part.
Calling bbpress functions in wordpress is always always always going to cause issues in the long run. it wasn’t built for it in any way shape or form. It’s a square peg in a round hole scenario, and if you can push something through then awesome, but sometimes it’s just not worth it.
The simplest and most straight forward solution is to work out what you want to do, and code that directly.
In this case:
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() || bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {
// Logged in user
// Hardcode your form here
} else {
// Not logged in
// Hardcode your form here
}
?>
Remember, hardcoding is your friend, because YOU control it
@ kevinjohngallagher… now it works
@ mr_pelle..I’m really sorry that after using bb-load.php into wp I was facing various problems..they are pointed at

@ kevinjohngallagher… I really appreciate your help that you safe me from using bb-load.php into wp ..thanks,
Now I’m agree with your statement i.e.
Remember, hardcoding is your friend, because YOU control it
I’m sorry to tell you people that..its working on localhost correctly but not on live… depressed again…topic still not resolved
When you say it does not work mate, can you tell us what it does instead?
It might be a quick fix
it takes me to local host… and my code was..
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
echo ”;
} else {
echo ‘
<table width=”480″ height=”90″ border=”0″ align=”right” >
<tr>
<td align=”left” >
<form class=”login” method=”post” action=”http://www.mysite.com/forums/bb-login.php”>
<div>
<label> Username
<input name=”user_login” type=”text” id=”quick_user_login” size=”13″ maxlength=”40″ value=”” tabindex=”1″ />
</label>
<label>
Password
<input name=”password” type=”password” id=”quick_password” size=”13″ maxlength=”40″ tabindex=”2″ />
</label>
<input name=”re” type=”hidden” value=”” />
<input type=”hidden” name=”_wp_http_referer” value=”/” />
<input type=”submit” name=”Submit” class=”submit” value=”Log in” tabindex=”4″ />
</div>
<div class=”remember”>
<label>
<input name=”remember” type=”checkbox” id=”quick_remember” value=”1″ tabindex=”3″ />
Remember me
</label>
</div>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
‘;
};
?>
<?php } ?>
@kevinjohngallagher please did not say this time “write your own code”
What would you like me to say?
You haven’t told me what’s you’re expecting teh code to do, and what it does wrong instead?
Please, I want to help, but “it takes me to localhost” gives me nothing to work with
