Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has a shared login working with bbPress RC1 & WordPress 2.8 beta?

I have WordPress installed at root level and bbPress in a sub directory using the WordPress users table.

When setting up bbPress I went through all the integration settings.

Now users can log in at either end no problem, it’s just that they are not logged in on the other end when visiting the forum/wordpress.

I then regenerated the keys using https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/ and placed these in both config files with the required BB_ bit for the bbPress config.

I added the following to my bbPress config:

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://site.com/';

// that's your WordPress URL, not bbPress



$bb->wp_home = 'http://site.com/';

// almost always the same as siteurl unless you tinker



$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';

// should almost always be wp_ unless you tinkered



$bb->user_bbdb_name = 'xxxx';

// this is the MYSQL database name for *WordPress*

// you can copy it right out of WordPress !



$bb->user_bbdb_user = 'xxxx';

// this is the MYSQL user name for *WordPress*

// you can copy it right out of WordPress !



$bb->user_bbdb_password = 'xxxx';

// this is the MYSQL password for *WordPress*

// you can copy it right out of WordPress !



$bb->user_bbdb_host = 'localhost';

// 99.9% of the time it's going to be localhost, unless you are on DreamHost or some other weird ISP



$bb->custom_user_table = 'wp_users';

// 99.9% of the time it's going to be wp_users



$bb->custom_user_meta_table = 'wp_usermeta';

// 99.9% of the time it's going to be wp_usermeta



$bb->authcookie = 'auth code i set with wp plugin';

// in theory you should be able to leave this out

// but this is going to be copied from WordPress cookie

// this *must* match the WordPress setting

// do NOT use the 1234567 part, use your own cookiehash from WordPress - see the note at the very bottom



$bb->cookiedomain = '.site.com';

// note the leading DOT - this is important

// this *must* match the WordPress setting



$bb->cookiepath = '/';

// I *highly* recommend you set the cookie path to /

// this *must* match the WordPress setting



$bb->sitecookiepath = '/';

// I *highly* recommend you set the cookie path to /

// this *must* match the WordPress setting



$wp->cookiedomain = '.site.com';

define(COOKIE_DOMAIN,'.site.com');

// note the leading DOT - this is important

// we list both for WordPress legacy compatibility



$wp->cookiepath = '/';

$wp->sitecookiepath = '/';

define('COOKIEPATH', '/' );

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/');

// I *highly* recommend you set the cookie path to /

Now when I log in at the bbPress side, a wordpress_logged_in_xxxxx cookie is created but then when I visit the wordpress end, I am not logged in.

When I do then log in on the WP end, it creates another wordpress_logged_in_xxxxx cookie, the cookie names are both the exact same but their values are different.

Anybody got any tips on how to fix this?

I’ve been living with bbpress and wordpress integrated badly for a while now. I suspect it’s because I can’t really work out where my wordpress secure auth salt is.

I don’t see it in the options.php for wordpress

I’ve tried adding the secure auth key from the config file, an the nonce salt but these don’t work.

I am tired of being logged out of wordpress or bbpress when switching between them.

I have searched this forum, and googled my head off, but there’s no clear explanation I can find on where this simple bit of data lives.

Where is the secure auth salt?

Is there any way to control how people register on my bbPress discussion board. I can delete the spamers after registration but it would be nice to have a way of controlling who gets to register. Any solutions to this?

Hello,

I hope that my request is in the right section.

I would like to ask to the bbPress website admin if it is possible to have an RSS view of Recent Update, Newest Plugins and Highest Rated Plugins listed in page https://bbpress.org/plugins/

Thank you,

Marco

From another post: “Any update on why the Private Forum plugin will revert to Open For All?” I’ve searched for ages on this one, as Private Forums keeps loosing its settings every time I go to the Admin plugins page and use another plugin. Eg., I go to plugins, change only Avatar Upload settings, and Private Forums then lets anyone enter all forums.

Has anyone fixed this? Have I missed a thread explaining how? Would really appreciate help on this as I need privacy for community sector groups defined as potentially ‘At Risk’.

When there is no forum to display, function get_forums in functions.bb-forums.php generates a warning. (ver 1.0-rc-1)

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /[installed_path]/bb-includes/functions.bb-forums.php on line 84

Usually there will be one forum at least, but some plugins such as Hidden Forums plugin could change a forum list to display and make the list emply.

In that situation, foreach in function get_forums (line 84) will be supplied by NULL.

To fix this, change line 83 in functions.bb-forums.php like below.

< $_forums = bb_append_meta( $_forums, ‘forum’ );

> $_forums = (array) bb_append_meta( $_forums, ‘forum’ );

Looked in the archives here and couldn’t find a topic specifically about this…

I am fairly well versed in HTML and CSS. I have no programming experience though. I’ve been using bbPress for a couple years now, and have used WordPress for much longer.

I want to learn PHP but I don’t have previous programming/coding experience. I’d probably just use this to write plug-ins.

Can you recommend a good book or online tutorial for the absolute newb?

Thanks!

hi, i’ve installed the latest trunk integrating it with wp mu 2.7.1, the installation finish without problem, but when i try to login with the mu administrator i’m redirected to forum home…

any idea to resolve this problem? thanks!

I updated a thread (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-minimalist-theme-available) as I’d added some files, but can only see the last two posts when I’ve logged-in. Has something gone wrong, or have they been hidden as they’re multi-posts or something? As I said in one, it’d help if we could edit for 24 hours to save double posting. Also, a theme upload link similar to the plugin one would be useful.
