Are you talking about these ones…
define( 'BB_AUTH_KEY', 'a85018... or these?
define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.mysite.com' );
define( 'SITECOOKIEPATH', '/' );
define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' );
Both taken from my bb-config.php.
P. S. forgot to say, I got the 2nd part in my wp-config.php too, with this line above it:
define( 'COOKIEHASH', 'c9ablaaaaah.' );

I don’t know what happened to my post, it became unreadable.
You need the hashes, cookie domains, cookie hashes, etc…
There are tons of posts on bbpress.org that you’ll be able to use.
Also, don’t forget about the integration plug-in. It will help you out.
BBpress 1.0.3, WPMU 2.8.4a, BP 1.0.3.
So if my intergration won’t work, what should I do next? AFAIK it needs all these keys and I took those I had on my wp-config.php. I’ve done a few things after that, I need to find that tutorial again.

I have a site (http://positiverealestateprofessionals.com) that is running BP (RC-1 I believe) and MU. It was working great together until I upgraded MU to 2.8.4 and now I having some minor issues.
I am looking for some help in changing over from the version of BP that I am using to the current BP Plugin. Since I am using a modified BP Theme and all of our members are use to it, I would like to be able to keep that option.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve gotten WordPressMU installed (2.8.4a) and bbPress (1.0.2) installed. When you create a group the forum is creating in bbPress. I can post a topic on the bbPress side and it’ll show up in BuddyPress. When I try creating a new topic or replying to a topic I get that dreaded – “There was an error posting that topic” message.
I’ve made sure I enabled XMLRPC and Pingbacks in bbPress and added that line to my bbPress config. I also use that XMLRPC testing plugin and it returns normal data so it can connect to bbPress via XMLRPC.
Are there any other troubleshooting steps I can take or any ideas of what I might be missing?
Thanks Jeff for the first breakdown, you’re a real help here!
I’m running WPMU 2.8.1 in the root as a directory install. BuddyPress is the last stable version.
I was also thinking it might have something to do with the nonce functions. What can cause something like that? It’ll be a coding error from my side, however I’m not sure where to look.
I modified the skeleton member theme to work with my WordPress theme design. I have not modified any of the core, just added custom functions to the skeleton theme.
– I switched back to the original BP theme, it seems to work correctly there. Where do I have to start looking then?
– Another question, if I started to work with the trac files to modifiy the new theme structure from the scratch, do I have to fear more changes until the launch of 1.1 (just to the theme files?)
I’m a believer of having some sort access to a trial version, or maybe demonstration site, when it comes to OSS. Of course need/should be able to charge money! For example I wouldnt buy a WP theme if I was only able to see a static image of one page before handing it over.

Ok, I have update my scripts… now running WordPress MU 2.8.4. & BuddyPress 1.0.3.
I have also managed to change the fullname for the username by adding a filter to bp_user_fullname. But it only works for the profile page. I was hoping to change all the fullname for the username throughout the site. (I find the original bp fullname Vs username system to be very confusing)
Any Suggestions?
jeff or anyone else,
i tried adding the tables myself and they show up and work just fine but it didn’t resolve my issue so i’m gonna assume i need to do what suggests in this thread but i want to confirm the steps and order of those steps. pls confirm these are the steps and order to remove buddypress and reinstall manually for a website that has been in production for awhile but recently upgraded to wpmu2.8.4a and bp1.0.3. i have data and members that i need to save.
1. Read the ReadMe file
2. Backup database
3. Backup themes, plugins, wp-config, .htaccess and entire site, etc…..
4. deactivate buddypress
5. delete the bp directory
6. manually delete the bp tables in the database (tables that begin with bp_)
7. manually install bp
8. do this https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/site-wide-activity-widget-not-working#post-22156
is that all?
DJPaul is right, you need to complete your integration. You’ll need to do than copy the defines over. For reference, what version are you using?

@DJPaul: I agree with you DJPaul, and I’m a hardened OSS supporter. If the ‘fees’ are small I feel like it’s more of a donation and I’m ok with them. I would be completely against things if the cost was more. But hey, people are allowed to make money from WordPress and it puts food one many people’s tables.

I’m trying to display the username at the top of the profile page:
<h1 class="fn"><a href="<?php bp_user_link() ?>"><?php bp_user_fullname() ?></a></h1>
I do not want to show the fullname, but the username.
Could anyone tell me the tag I need to use instead of <?php bp_user_fullname() ?>
(running BuddyPress 1.0.1)
Thank you!
Well are you sure they work? Because unless I am misunderstanding what you’ve explained above, it seems it isn’t.
Any help on this one… I am pretty sure, this is a WPMU related issue, but the forum-answers over there do not really work for me (as described above). Those registrations seem to go directly – or buddypress “opened” another door…
THANKS!
Yeah, I’ve done that, I copied the ones I have in my wp-config.php to bb-config.php and added BB_ on each of them. Is that what you meant? That was the only way I know to set this up.

This is a request for help with CSS for a custom theme and not to do with the theme that comes with BP. Therefore I have renamed the topic as “CSS Errors” suggests there is an error with the BuddyPress.
Also, these forums are for BuddyPress support and not the best place to ask for CSS help but I’m sure someone will help 
You need to set up cookie integration for your BP / BB properly.
Hi all,
I discovered a strange behavior. Let me describe how things work so far:
I log on to wpmu/buddypress, I see my buddy bar and click on forums. I do see my buddybar there showing me that I’m logged on, but I need to login additionally to the forums. Same applies when I log out. Is that supposed to be that way? If so, I’d place a login prompt on the front page due to avoid confusion.

The first thing to remember BP is a WPMU plugin. That said…
It’s a site wide plugin, so it runs on a main blog but hooks into all of the other blog. Each group you create can have or not have their own individual forums. Have a look at testbp.org or make a test installation, that’s probably the best way to find out.
Premium dev site != everyone can have it. Premium WPMU plugins detest me.
You can get RSS cloud plugins for BuddyPress; we use one at work. This is borderline on-topic; are you suggesting or looking for a cloud plugin that deals with a particular aspect of BP?
And obviously you need to look on / ask at the BBPress forum for help importing information. That is not a BuddyPress subject.
You are best off looking in the WordPress plugin directory, or searching or asking on the WPMU forums. This is not a BuddyPress. question.
