Is it possible? when wp and bbpress is so tight, i would like to use 1 reg page.

I intend to make some Swedish translations for bbpress, but I can’t find any updated .pot files for 0.9.0.1. Latest .pot file in SVN seams to be 0.8.3.1.

bbPress 0.9 requires WordPress 2.5 “out of the box” but I have just released a couple of plugins that allow for integration with earlier versions of WordPress (e.g. version 2.3).

Although you can use these plugins to get integration with earlier versions happening, it is still strongly recommended that you upgrade your WordPress installation to version 2.5!

Only follow this guide if you are using bbPress 0.9 or higher and are trying to integrate it with a WordPress installation with a version earlier than version 2.5!!!

The problem with using earlier versions of WordPress is two-fold:

1. The password hashing algorithm has changed.
2. The authentication cookie is now different.

The solution is to install these two plugins into bbPress:

1. “MD5 Insecurity for bbPress” – downgrades bbPress’ password hashing back to MD5.
2. “Mouldy Old Cookies for bbPress” – Reinstates use of the old cookie styles in bbPress.

Download and install each of these into bbPress. No plugins should be necessary in WordPress to enable integration.

I recommend you make these plugins “autoload” by pre-pending an underscore “_” to the plugin filename. This means the plugins will always load and can’t be deactivated from the plugin page in the admin area.

Hello,

Is there any good plugin for bbPress admins who don’t need a complete WordPress installation, but want a simple portal with news, forum stats, and articles? How about a “promote to frontpage” sort of plugin?

Thanks for the help!

I am new to bbPress. I was pulling my hair out all day trying to get integration with WordPress to work. The problem was the cookies not matching.

I had inserted the lines bbPress gave me to set COOKIE_DOMAIN and COOKIEPATH in my wp-config.php file at the very bottom. Examining my cookies I saw that the domain was not adjusting to the value I wanted. I thought my problems were elsewhere and spent hours barking up the wrong tree.

The solution is to insert the necessary lines higher up. When I put them just under the standard define lines (just under define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”) ) the correct domain was then set properly in the cookie.

I hope this helps others.

I’m looking for a solution which would censor forum posts from a blacklist of ‘bad words’ – but only if the user is not logged in.

If somebody were to view the forums whilst being logged in, they would see the ‘bad words’

Any ideas?

Hi: I’m getting the following error (I’ve search through the threads here but can’t find anything on this):

bbPress database error: [Table ‘miningan_ss12084.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT ID FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’

bbPress database error: [Table ‘miningan_ss12084.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’

my blog is at www.miningandmoney.com

and the forum is at http://www.miningandmoney.com/forum/

This comes after installing via bluehosts script and getting to the integration stage.

Can you help?

I’ve installed the 0.9.1 last night. Integration with WP went smoothly and fast.

The problem popped up when i’ve logged on into bbpress with my WP user:pass. It did log me in, but later on attempt to log back into WP said “ERROR: Incorrect password.”

I’ve reset the WP password, logged in, logged out. Logged into bbpress. Than tried to log in to WP with same password and again “ERROR: Incorrect password.” popped up. So it appears that every time i log into bbpress it messes up the WP password.

If i change WP password by resetting it, it works. If i edit my user password in WP – bbpress will accept it.

But if i log into bbpress – WP starts giving me the “incorrect password” message. So bbpress accepts all changes that WP is making to the password, but WP stops accepting the password even after simple login to bbpress with it.

I use WP 2.3.2, latest BBpress, shared databases, shared cookies. UTF8 on both installations. I use “admin” as a login name.

Hi,

The password generated after installation was used to login first time. Missed out on changing the password and logged out. Now I don’t remember the generated password and my installation is not letting me in.

How can overcome this problem?

Thanks

I installed latest version of bbpress on mybrandinc.com and enabled the URL re-write from the admin settings page.

But i am getting 404 errors when i click on links from forum.

My host has enabled mod-Rewrite.

Any help?

Thanks
