Yep, got the connection problems solved but probably won’t have time to test much today. I see what you’re saying but we’re integrating WordPress and bbPress and need the cookies to sync. If we can get everything talking properly between WPMU and bbPress it will make any problems we encounter BuddyPress specific. I’m not sure if the plugin works with WPMU, I’m assuming it does but it doesn’t specify either way.
with new version updated
i have in bbprees the forum created with the name of the groups
but still not showing any post neither in buddypress neither in bbpress
when a user is logged in buddypress it is still not logged in bbpress but it seems to have some interaction
wardeh : to what i remember when updating to wpmu 2.7 it telss you to add 2 lines in wp-config
one of them is ‘auth_salt’.$
i got thelast version of bbpress and plugin but sitll integration pb will have to check for everything
@wardeh get the auth_salt from your wpmu config.php
I had everything almost working yesterday. Somehow I then broke it. Anyway, I just updated to alpha 4 bbpress and BP bleeding edge and bleeding edge wpmu. Now, new groups create new forums, but then there is no post. Also, no save message (like I got when it kinda worked).
Using hostgator.
Well. I spend a lot of hours this weekend and i found out: trunk r664 + bbpress alpha 3 + wpmu trunk 1574 works for me an the forum works for new groups (not for the old one). If i update to the latest buddypress trunk (r682), i can´t post in to a forum – and i get no error messages. Nothing happens also with bbpress alpa 4 and the latest buddypress trunk (r682).
gogoplata — Yes, I see what you mean. But isn’t this plugin for people who are just using WP and bbPress? We’re trying to integrate the forums with the BP groups.
In any case, I put the plugin back and I still don’t see any effect from it. I still have to login both places. And I definitely can’t add group forum posts.
I hope your connection issues get resolved soon.
wardeh – I think that is saying that what the plugin used to do is now handled by bbPress but this plugin now does something else, namely recognize the cookies from WordPress. On the main plugin page it says “This plugin is only useful if you are running bbPress version 1.0-alpha-4 or later.”
I haven’t personally tested the new bbPress version or this plugin as I’m having connection problems but will report whatever I find out.
I sure don’t want to hog this topic, but I have so many questions.
Here’s the latest:
When I try to update the “Group Forums” settings, I can’t (bbpress forums URL, administrator and password, etc.). I went right to the DB to make changes and that makes the fields on the settings page all blank. Why won’t this update?
Looks to me like we don’t need the plugin?
“This functionality is now handled automatically by bbPress since bbPress 1.0-alpha-4” on the plugin “Other Notes” page.
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.
