@Svenl77-

Are you trying to install the BP Skeleton Component on an active site? The reason I ask is that you should use the Skeleton Component for developing your own custom BuddyPress plugins. You use the files, code your own solution, then activate your new custom plugin on your development server and test.

There is no reason you would need to reupload WPMU, BuddyPress, or bbPress. The Skeleton Component will not provide any functionality on your site. You simply use it as a general template for coding your own custom plugins.

I just don’t think anybody really knows. What version bp, wpmu, bbpress? That’s got to be somewhere around bbpress rc2 though. Not sure when bbpress went with the permalinks options. I can’t help you at the moment. I wiped my dev server’s bbpress, upgraded to bbpress rc2 and can’t get group forums to work at all. I can’t get that to work or wp/bbpress cookie integration. It’s the usual issue with conflicting, incorrect or just plain missing docs on how to make it happen properly.

We have wordpress config settings, bbpress config settings, bp config settings. After careful and lengthy research, I’ve determined that it all is somehow related to this:

I guess I get to wait until Automattic decides that integration of their three products is actually important. This is a back burner issue with my dev server. I just don’t have the time to track down the problem at the moment.

type in a unique username for it, when i installed bbpress, i chose ‘forumadmin’. you can easily make your ‘admin’ username the keymaster for it later, when its setup.

Cool. Now maybe you can help me install bbpress if you got it going.

What a headache.

is there a back up / restore procedure documented?

Do you mean for bbPress? Since bbPress uses MySQL as the DB backend, as do the other *presses, I would look at the WP codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup

Jessica-

You mention this:

Added this code to the bbPress footer (before the closing /html tag):

<?php wp_footer() ?>

Did you add the call to wp_footer before the closing html tag, or just before the closing body tag? In other words, it should look like this:

<?php wp_footer(); ?>



</body>



</html>

Jessica-

I’ve thought about this some more and I only have one suggestion which might do the trick. Normally I would say this wouldn’t matter. But, I have seen this make a difference is some cases. Since it seems like you’ve tried everything and have deep integration setup and working, it is worth a try.

If it does not work, then please contact Burt or jjj and ask for their advice. I am not a bbPress-integration expert.

Try changing these two lines in their appropriate places:

<?php wp_head() ?>

<?php wp_footer() ?>

to this:

<?php wp_head(); ?>

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

Notice the change? It is the inclusion of the semicolon. It could be important to use these here as they indicate the end of a PHP statement. I’ve had theming issues in the past when I’ve left these off on certain PHP statements. It will probably not make a difference, but it is worth a shot.

Try making those two changes and let me know what happens.

Can not add WordPress MU password in bbpress “WordPress integration” Step 2.

Problem when installing bbpress 1.0 with WordPress MU 2.7.1 and Buddy Press 1.0.1 is when I get to step 2 during in the installation of bbpress 1.0 “wordpress integration”. I can add in all the database informatino however the password input area is missing for inserting the database password. I have tried to skip this step however when I go into bbpress settings and add in all the information, when this step is completed there is no “Admin settings” inside bbpress (this is missing although I am logged in with “admin”.

Does anyone have any ideas to fix this problem?

I PMed back stating:

I would reinstall both theme directories. It looks like there is something missing.

So, copy over a new copy of bphome into /wp-content/themes/

Then copy over a new copy of bpmember into /wp-content/bp-themes/

He PMed back this to which I said let’s continue this is the forum:

I reinstall but it's not working

i have this problem with all BuddyPress themes

facebuddy

shouty

solitude-theme

bpskeletonmember

the home page it's good

Marked as resolved.

@jacoby – I experienced similar cookie issues with brain broken and the trunk – got it working by deleting cookiepath and hash and deleting existing cookies- https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-integration-problem-wp28-bb-10-rc-2 but since this is about lighttpd I’m sure that hempworth’s problem is the lack of mod_rewrite and this may help – https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/1961

Usually the current stable is probably best? I tried for a few hours to integrate bbPress 1.0 trunk last night and something appeared broken in it (could be my brain that’s broken too.)

The issues you describe are pretty strange, and new ones compared to most. When re-installing, do me a favor and delete your cookies for your site also; lets make this as clean of an installation as possible.

mikem1986, you will want to modify the header.php in your bbPress themes directory to get rid of the logo, and the header.php file in your wp-content/themes/bphome directory if you are using the included BuddyPress Home Theme.
