Currently using:

WPMU 2.7.1

BBPRESS 1.0.1

BPPRESS 1.0.2

BPDEV Core 0.3

WPMU bbPress Integration 1.0

BBPRESS BuddyPress Support Plugin v1.0-RC1

Well, I am about to throw my arms up, I am now so baffled and confused.

I had all the group forum discussions working great and then suddenly, it just stopped working after I updated to BBPRESS 1.0.1.

Basically, I have followed all the directions about trying to get the forum discussions to work in groups, and I had it working, and was able to previously post before. But, when I updated the BBPRESS to 1.0.1, I found that I was unable to make any new posts in the existing forum discussions in any group created, even in new groups created.

So, I decided to start from scratch, New SQL Databases, new usernames, new passwords, the whole 9 yards.

– I installed the WPMU 2.7.1

– I installed the BBPRESS 1.0.1

– Everything works fine at that point.

– I went into the wp_config.php and the bb_config and placed in the following as normal (Keep in mind, that I have now done this 30 times.)

wp_config:

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

define(‘NONCE_KEY’, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

define(‘AUTH_SALT’, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.mywebsite.com’ );

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIEHASH’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’ );

and

bb_config

define( ‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’ );

define( ‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

define( ‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’ );

define( ‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’ );

define(‘BB_AUTH_SALT’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

define( ‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 1 );

– All of that worked fine, I was able to remain logged in from either WPMU and BBPRESS, so all the settings were correct in those two files.

– Next, I installed the WPMU BBPRESS Integration Plugin, and I set those settings up with:

bbPress URL : http://mywebsite.com/forums/

Your plugins URL : http://mywebsite.com/forums/bb-plugins

Wordpress type : WordPress MU

– I then took the manual settings listed on that page and inserted them properly into the wp_config.php and the bb_config.php file.

– Next I installed the BBPRESS – BuddyPress Support Plugin made by Andy Peatling, and I placed that file in the bb-plugins folder, although I have also tested in the bbpress’s my-plugins folder too, but it seems to mostly work in bb-plugins folder. I don’t believe there are any settings that I can see for this plugin.

– In BBPRESS, I go to WordPress Integration:

I set the following settings:

User Role Map

WordPress Administrator – bbpress Keymaster

WordPress Editor – bbpress Moderator

WordPress Author – bbpress Member

WordPress Contributor – bbpress member

WordPress Subscriber – bbpress member

– I save those settings.

– Then I double check my settings listed below to make sure that I have it integrated with my WordPress MU SQL database:

WordPress address (URL) – http://mywebsite.com/

Blog address (URL) – http://mywebsite.com/

Show advanced settings:

– I fill out the information pertains to my first database which was for WordPress MU.

User database host – localhost

User database character set – utf8

– All that seems to work fine, because I am able to login to wordpress mu my website and then go to the forums and it keeps me logged in.

– I set the bbpress permalinks:

http://mywebsite.com/forums/forums.php?id=1

– In bbpress I go to the discussion settings:

Enable Pingbacks – Checked

– In bbpress I go to the writing setting:

Remote Publishing – XML-RPC – Checked

– I go to general settings in BBPRESS

bbPress address (URL) – http://mywebsite.com/forums/

---

Now back at my WPMU section:

– Under Writing settings:

Size of the post box – 40 lines

Formatting – convert smilies – checked

Wordpress should correct invalid nested xhtml – checked

Remote Publishing:

Atom Publishing – unchecked

XML-RPC – Checked

– Under discussion settings:

Allow pingbacks – checked

– Under permalinks for WPMU:

custom: /%category%/%postname%/

Now under Buddy press settings:

Forum settings:

– bbPress URL – http://mywebsite.com/forums/

– bbPress username – admin (which is the administrator account for WPMU and bbadmin is the main keymaster account for bbpress.)

– Password – (Admin password for WPMU)

– Cache requests – unchecked

– Buddy Press Components – All Checked

That’s pretty much it. After I create a new main group, it has the option for forum discussion group, and I check the box and it creates it just fine.

But, whenever I go to try and post within that public group and I am obviuosly the main admin of that group, it comes up with an error:

“There was an error posting that topic.”

I have redone this like twice, created new SQL databases, new accounts, everything. I can’t imagine to tell you how many times I have reinstalled the bbpress. It doesn’t matter now which bbpress you have installed, I am still unable to post in the group forum discussions.

Does anyone have any ideas of what I should do?

I am so confused.
