I use bbPress 1.0-rc-3 and WP 2.8. I’m not sure if this is a problem or not. Here is what’s going on…
I installed bbpress this afternoon and things went fairly well. I followed Sam’s screencast on intergrating bbpress with my WP site. (which is superb!) After following the instructions exactly, I could not get to my WP dashboard. (Though I could login) I deleted the “bbpress Integration” plugin and removed the lines it had me put in wp-config.php. I could then get to my dashboard, and logging into my site or forum logged me into the other. (logging out worked too)
I added a “Forum” page to my site that when clicked redirects the user to my forum. I discovered recently that when I log into my website and click the “Forum” link to administer my forum… I am logged in as I should be, but I cannot access my bbpress Admin page. (I can access the bbpress Admin page when I log directly into the forum as well as when I log into my site and type the forum URL into the address bar. Just not by clicking the link on my site.)
Is it because I am not using the “bbpress Integration” plugin or is there a problem?

Hi to all.
I am a newbi on wwpress, I am looking at the default template and worder where can I find info/documentation on
how to work with bbpress tags(syntax) just like wp tags?
Can I use them on wp context?
and the other way wp tags on bbpress context?
Regards,
Okay, I have been on wordpress since 2006, but just started to dabble with bbpress. I am launching a forum for our company intranet. Due to security our IT department has locked down the ftp to the server. However, we want to install a bbpress plugin like “One Click Updater” (used for wordpress). I have found the plugin browser, but I haven’t found anything for uploading themes. Does anyone know of a plugin that I can use for this? Also, as I have poked around the admin I noticed that there isn’t a theme editor. Does that require a hack or another plugin? This would be very helpful. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks!
Hi,
I’ve been searching this forums yet but could’nt find any explanation to my problem so here it goes:
I’m a newbie at developping for bbpress, and trying to customize it for my needs.
First, I’m running bbPress 0.9.4; I’m also using a copy of the default theme that i’m modifying (located in my-templates/mysite).
I’ve attached a hook to the action ‘bb_index.php_pre_db’ which is ran on bbpress/index.php; My goal is to display only forums (without latest discussions and sticky topics) so i’ve copied the content of index.php and removed calls to latest discussions and sticky topics:
add_action('bb_index.php_pre_db', 'home');
function home(){
$forums = get_forums(); // Comment to hide forums
do_action( ‘bb_index.php’, ” );
bb_load_template( ‘front-page.php’);
exit();
}
The problem is that once in the file front-page.php, the $forums variable doesnt exists anymore. Actually i tried to print it out in the bb_load_template as well and the variable is empty too. It seems that because i’m using a hook (called by do_action), globals variable do not exists anymore in this context. I might be wrong but i’m actually stuck to this point and can’t really move forward. Any tips?
Cheers.
Hi ya’ll I had something so weird happen that I need help. Using simplescripts,, I installed bbpress on my blog @ http://www.thewordonthewordoffaithblog.com/forum
This is what happens when I try to log in,,, it does not login and it adds my address to the URL. Like this http://www.thewordonthewordoffaithblog.com/forum/16022%20spinaker/bb-login.php
I don’t know how the hell that happened. I did get to login once and just browsed around. I don’t think I changed anything that should have made it add my address. Which I have no idea how that happened as I only entered my address when I first signed up for my hosting account.
I was just testing the install at this site,,, I am starting a wpMU/buddypress/bbpress site and I have a developer that is going to do the installs for me. When I asked about the bbpress install he said,,,,,
“If you don’t mind, please don’t install bbpress, as it’s a bit hard to configure properly; i had one install that required 1 full day of php-in to make the compatibility and integration, as the two versions were not fully compatible.”
He quoted me a price for the wpMU/buddypress install and I told him I was going to do the bbpress install myself,,,,,, because I had read in this forum and in other places that as soon as WP2.8 come out that the install/integration should be pretty seamless. Plus I had found simple scripts and thought,,, why should I pay him if I can auto-install and it go smooth,,, well as you see it did not.
I have seen several videos that show more than one way to do a manual install,, It seems the install goes easily for some and not for others.
SO should the install/integration go smooth now that I am running WP2.8?
AND does the integration plugin that I seen around here work well?
I know this info is around here somewhere to be found,,, if I dig again. I am just stressed from over a weeks research,, and suffering from information overload,,,can ya’ll help?
Any information would to help me get this installed would be great,, AND if anyone could explain to me how the heck it adds my address to the url,,, I would really appreciate that,,, cause either I am NUTZZZZZ,,, or my computer is possessed. LOL
Thanks ya’ll, damon
What are the working plugins for RC3
reference: http://www.massbase.com/topic/testing-pagination
how do i control what the avatar, usename and “member” title… all link too.
the post.php file uses these three respectively… but i cant control the url of these links… i need the gravatar to link to the members profile rather than the users website.
<?php post_author_avatar_link(); ?>
<?php post_author_link(); ?>
<?php post_author_title_link(); ?>
Recently I’d been trying to deep integrate WP 2.8 and bb 1.0-rc1 together. I had previously managed to do it successfully with WP 2.5.1 and bb 0.9.0.4, so I tried porting the same method to the newer version.
Unfortunately however, it doesn’t seem to work. With the addition of backPress, the old method of deep integration no longer works as some functions get called twice, triggering a fatal error.
[Wed Jun 17 02:56:20 2009] [error] [client 86.45.179.252] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _mb_substr() (previously declared in */wordpress/wp-includes/compat.php:86) in */forums/bb-includes/backpress/functions.compat.php on line 108, referer: *
So, mainly I was wondering whether anyone else had managed to find a new method of deep integration, or whether it’s now not possible at all?
yeah sorry we’re all tired… however, I have a problem!
How do i get rid of the “Tag:” piece text ABOVE the tags on the topics pages. example: http://www.massbase.com/topic/testing-pagination
I think I found a bug with the third RC of bbPress 1.0 and WordPress 2.8, I checked around the forums and in Trac and didn’t see this specific issue mentioned elsewhere.
I have WordPress installed in a subdirectory, with bbPress installed below that.
WordPress: http://www.mydomain.com/beta/
bbPress: http://www.mydomain.com/beta/forums
So aside from having WordPress installed in a subdirectory for testing purposes, there is nothing out of the ordinary about my install. I don’t have WordPress set up to run in the root from the subdirectory or anything, it’s totally standard.
The issue is that when I am logged in through WordPress, I am unable to access the backend of WordPress. Any attempt to access the Dashboard or any other page on the admin area is redirected to the login page of WordPress, even though I am already logged in.
I am able to access the admin area of bbPress, but I am unable to logout from either WordPress or bbPress.
When I login through bbPress, I am able to access the backend of both WordPress and bbPress. I am able to logout from bbPress, but not WordPress.
I have followed along with Sam’s basic integration screencast a few times now, I believe I am installing everything correctly, and the results are consistent.
I have a live install of WordPress running in the root of this particular domain, so I am unable to do a test install in the root, but I have a feeling that it would run fine there and that this issue is the result of installing from a subdirectory.
The only difference that I can see between the screencast and what I am seeing on my end is the manual cookie settings code that bbPress asks you to add to wp-config.php at the end. In the screencast, bbPress lists this code:
define('COOKIEPATH', '/');
But in my install, bbPress lists this code:
define('COOKIEHASH', 'e49cd3ef5873cd2d82bbc6a99b41ebfa');
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.www.mydomain.com');
define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/beta/wp-admin');
define('COOKIEPATH', '/beta/');
When I delete those three extra line from my wp-config.php file, leaving only the fourth line, the issue is resolved and I am able to login in and out from either WordPress or bbPress, and access both admin areas.
Has anyone else encountered a problem like this? Am I skipping a step, or is one of the paths that bbPress giving incorrect?
