Wondering… the bbPress WP integration asks one to look up auth_salt in the options. However, I don’t have an auth_salt #. I have a nonce_salt. So that’s the value I’m using. Can anyone comment on this? The other cookie values match up, just not that one.
I’ve upgraded to the Alpha-4 of bbPress and the latest trunk of BP. Attempted to post a topic.
There is no error returned (such as “topic can’t be posted”), yet the topic doesn’t get posted.
This plugin may also be required with the new bbPress version:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/
A new version of bbPress, 1.0-Alpha-4, was just released on bbPress.org which “Should fix issues that people had with integrated cookies with WordPress in 1.0-alpha-3 without reverting any new features in it.”
Not sure if this is related to any of our problems but it’d be advisable to upgrade and see if it helps.
Along with the cookie fixes mentioned above, this new release will also assign users a role in bbPress as soon as they visit the forums with WordPress cookies. Previously they needed to log in to be assigned a role.
for the record, I have bbPress properly installed (I assume) and all appears fine except Postng Topics. No time to debug so I will await a solution as it seems to be a common issue
Hey burtadsit – funny – I figured I’d do theme work as well until someone chimed! I’ll admit to you that this is my 1st MU install, all the others were vanilla WP jobs. Wierd. I use hostgator and they are a little off in the way they store your files. Just found it via another route. Disregard. Will give the bbPress install a go. Thanks. You’ll likely be hearing form me again.

Howdy mike,
1. Yup. bp relies on bbpress for it’s forums.
2. ahhh… you can’t not have one. It’s the only way that mu knows where to go for your database and other such things. You looking in the correct dir?
3. Torturing animals is high-level?
Until somebody chimes in with a magic solution to all this, I’m gonna go work on a theme. So there.
I’m gonna dumb down this forum a tad (apologies guys) but
1. id bbPress a requirement for any forum functionality in BP?
if so
2. Why would I NOT have a wp-config in my WPMU install directory (only the sample file) (and thus no SECRET_KEY value even set to assist in bbPress install)
Thanks. Back to our regularly schedule high-level discussion
wpmu/bp and bbpress exist together side-by-side. wpmu/bp doesn’t have a forum. Well, it does: bbpress. 
@meerblickzimmer What is the difference between the two installs on the same server?
Is one wpmu/bbpress using user integration and the other not? What’s the difference?
If we know the diff then maybe we can narrow down the problem.
ASIDE: Yes, curl is turned on on my live server. (is that english?)
i get the same like zenseeker:
bool(false) object(IXR_Error)#4989 (2) { [“code”]=> int(-32300) [“message”]=> string(114) “transport error – could not open socket: 0 php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known” }
on the same server inside another bbpress, buddypress og wpmu installation all works fine. but in another i get this.
thanks! m
I am new to bbPress but not WP and have BuddyPress moving along nicely. If BP already has forums for each group then why do we need bbPress? Added forum functionality vis a vis a replacement of the BP forums or do both coexist side by side in BP?
I can post topics in group forums, but in the group forums and bbpress forums, when I post a group topic, the content cannot correctly display（the title is OK), I’m using Chinese.
Andy, this is the results from WP_Http obj in http.php. It’s using cURL to go get the info from bbpress. Below are var dumps from line 261 in http.php
‘http obj url param:’ = $url
‘http obj request param:’ = $r
… you get the idea …
http obj url param: string(37) “http://ourcommoninterest.org/bbpress/”
http obj request param: array(
{ [“method”]=> string(3) “GET” [“timeout”]=> int(2) [“redirection”]=> int(5) [“httpversion”]=> string(3) “1.1” [“user-agent”]=> string(13) “WordPress/2.7” [“blocking”]=> bool(true) [“headers”]=> array(0) { } [“body”]=> NULL }
http obj transport: object(WP_Http_Curl)#324 (0) { }
http obj response: array(3) { [“headers”]=> array(5) { [“date”]=> string(29) “Sun, 14 Dec 2008 01:52:04 GMT” [“server”]=> string(21) “Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)” [“content-length”]=> string(3) “292” [“connection”]=> string(5) “close” [“content-type”]=> string(29) “text/html; charset=iso-8859-1” } [“body”]=> string(292) “
Not Found
The requested URL /bbpress/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at ourcommoninterest.org Port 80
” [“response”]=> array(2) { [“code”]=> int(404) [“message”]=> string(9) “Not Found” } }
I know that curl is fired up on my windows server. Can’t imagine it isn’t on my linux server. Besides, the http obj tests all ‘transports’ for their existence before sticking ’em in the list of those to try at that spot where the dump is. Gonna go look anyway.
Since this code is new in mu 2.7 I don’t trust it.
This is the var_dump of $response in discover_pingback_uri()
at pingback discover : array(3) { [“headers”]=> array(5) { [“date”]=> string(29) “Sat, 13 Dec 2008 21:35:35 GMT” [“server”]=> string(21) “Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)” [“content-length”]=> string(3) “292” [“connection”]=> string(5) “close” [“content-type”]=> string(29) “text/html; charset=iso-8859-1” } [“body”]=> string(292) “
Not Found
The requested URL /bbpress/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at ourcommoninterest.org Port 80
” [“response”]=> array(2) { [“code”]=> int(404) [“message”]=> string(9) “Not Found” } }
When bbpress_Live_Fetch obj’s constructor is called it calls $this->set_endpoint(). If it can’t get a valid endpoint then query is gonna always fail. set_endpoint() calls discover_pingback_server_uri() and it fails inside there with 404.
And also $this->options
array(4) { [“target_uri”]=> string(37) “http://ourcommoninterest.org/bbpress/” [“username”]=> string(4) “bpbb” [“password”]=> string(6) “xxx” [“always_use_auth”]=> bool(false) }
no the password is not ‘xxx’ and yes it is correct.
Please uncomment line 462 of bp-forums-bbpress-live.php
//var_dump( $client->message, $client->error ); die;
Then try and view or post in the forums.
Can you then paste when you get in here (minus anything sensitive)
Thanks
I think that what we are experiencing here is an apache phenomenon.
We can’t all be setting this up improperly. Besides, I’ve got it working on a windows dev server just fine. It’s running the same vers of all 3 software components. bp, bb, mu. Same.
I’m telling you people that when I dig down in the bowels of the code the reason that things are failing is wp_remote_get(‘your_very_own_url_to_bbpress’). It’s returning 404 and nothing happens after that. Well, things happen happily along as usual but everything above that just can’t work without that ‘pingback uri’ that it is looking for.
So why is a valid url for the bbpress root returning 404? Apache and it’s wonderful .htaccess files control that response. If following it’s internal .htaccess rules that exist in the mu root and the bbpress root, if it decides that what you are requesting doesn’t exist, then it just plain doesn’t. To apache. Returns 404.
I don’t know how anyone else has bbpress installed but mine is like so:
mu root = myhappydomain.org/
bbpress root = myhappydomain.org/bbpress/
The .htaccess conditions and rules in mu dir get processed first. Then the ones in the bbpress dir get looked at.
HANGON: gotta run go do something but i’m hitting ‘save’ first. brb
Same here bebopcool, I’m running the new bbPress zip and the trunk WPMU and BuddyPress and have successfully integrated users but can’t get the cookies to work, which I assume is what’s preventing the forum from working. I too have the forum on the group page, but posting on fails.
I can login with my admin account and the new bbpress admin and post directly to the forum but it doesn’t seem to be communicating with BuddyPress.
bdpress trunk 658
wpmu trunk 1574
bbpress : alpha 3
burtadsit thanks for the info about .hataccess file in bbpress it is ok now for user profile
i gave the admin status to the buddypress forum user
and o also upgraded to bbpress alpha 3
but still not working : the forum is created but i cannot post
it seems i have a pb with cookie integration because a user logged with bdpress is not automatically logged in bbpress but i do not see where….
it tried to post with the bdpress forum user and logged manually with the same user in bbpress but it is still not working
Good luck! Still no success for me and I’ve tried just about everything I can think of. If I can’t get it working soon I’m going to start with a fresh copy of bbPress again and hope for better results.
I’m off to try this again. The SVN logs show that the bbpress guys have been busy.
oh, and forum is at http://campaignmessage.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=5
there you can see the user is correct……..it is just the avatar that isn’t.
Mine is now posting. (still some issues with user avatars.)
Don’t know what did it except the new bbpress trunk, and then creating a new group.
