I’m sorry that you are still having issues with deep integration of bbPress with WordPress. Many sites have an integrated bbPress install. In fact, @r-a-y has helped you extensively with the issue of bbPress integration into WordPress, pointing to many resources to help you accomplish that goal. If you are having trouble successfully performing a deep integration of bbPress with WordPress, then you should post on the bbPress or WP forums or ask for help on one of the blog articles to which Ray pointed you. (Have you searched for articles on bbPress and WordPress deep integration?)

By the way, with the exception of using bbPress for group forums within BuddyPress, bbPress and BuddyPress will never integrate site wide as BuddyPress is a plugin that sits on top of WordPress. What you are really talking about is integration of WP’s user tables with bbP’s user tables, so that they share their user data. BuddyPress does not store login information. BuddyPress does not authenticate users. Those functions are performed by WordPress. This site’s forums (BP.org) used to have an integrated bbPress install with WP. The forums were simply skinned to look like they were BuddyPress themed. But, they were a separate theme controlled by bbPress.

Let’s get this thread back on topic. I ask that you please refrain from taking this thread off topic anymore as it is impolite to the OP.

bbPress won’t integrate with Buddypress either.

if a site owner does not care about certain activity items at all – block em:

@bennadler – Thanks! But it is not WordPress MU – it is WordPress 3 as multisite (sub directories) – the code is not working.

I’ve not seen anyone integrate simple press into the activity stream, so you’ll probably have to do that up yourself.

Let me know how it works Buddypress… I have a WP 3.0 Multiuser install with Buddypress 1.2.5 and I wish to have a network like WordPress.com. I need a common admin bar for all the network sites, so the users coming from the other sites can access to the network services (groups, forums, activity, pm, etc..) of the main site. So I need a unique template for all the sites. To do that, I cannot use the BP-Twentyten template but I converted the Twentyten template, using the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin. So now I have a template I can use on Buddypress based main site and also on the slave sites. The only problem is that this new template needs the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin to work. Actually I’m working on a test install, I need for the production install a common template independent from the plugin, but I have no coding skills to make it working. Can you help me?

Ah, then you’re in the wrong forums. These forums are just for BuddyPress and it’s related issues (hence why it’s called buddypress.org, not wordpressthemes.org ). You should try contacting the Mensa theme owners/creators. Look in your style.css page for contact info. Good luck!

Yeah I installed them both locally using MAMP.

I tried it again tonight and when I log in to bbpress it will log me in to buddypress, but when I log in to buddypress it doesn’t log me in to bbpress. I went in to buddypress to the forum setup tab and did the integration from an existing forum thing, but that just set up the groups forums again. I created a group and stated a forum and topic, the group appeared as a subforum on bbpress and the posts appeared there. When I posted on in it bbpress it appeared in the group on buddypress, and group posts appear on bbpress.

I went back to the forum setup tab and it said:

“NOTE: The forums directory will only work if your bbPress tables are in the same database as your WordPress tables. If you are not using an existing bbPress install you can ignore this message.”

Which is something over my head, I don’t even know what a table is.

Here is the code I used. Put this in bp-custom.php in your plugins folder, and it should correctly display your user’s BP avatar across an entire WordPress MU install. Lemme know if it works!

function nfm_bp_avtar_upload_path_correct($path){
if ( bp_core_is_multisite() ){
$path = ABSPATH . get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, ‘upload_path’ );
}
return $path;
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_avatar_upload_path’, ‘nfm_bp_avtar_upload_path_correct’, 1);

function nfm_bp_avatar_upload_url_correct($url){
if ( bp_core_is_multisite() ){
$url = get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, ‘siteurl’ ) . “/wp-content/uploads/”;
}
return $url;
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_avatar_url’, ‘nfm_bp_avatar_upload_url_correct’, 1);

I’m pretty new to Buddypress and WordPress. Launched my first site today with 95% of the “i can’t find my registration” emails solved by directing them to their spam folders. But beyond that I have three that can’t find their email, say it’s not in their spam folder, and I need to get em in. Opened phpadmin and didn’t see a “wp_signsup” listing. Checked out “wp_users” and found user_activation_key and there’s a list of 30 things and two of them have keys next to them. They’re different keys. How do I know which one to use? And how exactly do I use it. Do I go to the mydomain.com example url above and enter this key and then that gets them in? Or do I give them the key and they do that? Any insights most appreciated.

Hello caplain. You can use plugins for this. I’m using Invite Anyone. You can search Extend section by typing “invite” and visit WP Plugins Directory at https://extend.wordpress.org/plugins

For Blog postings, you might try Glenn Slaven’s plugin. I haven’t tried it with WP 3.0.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/friendfeed-comments/

You could also go with Disqus or Intense Debate … to synch comments in blog postings.

For activity stream … I have not tried this … but … use tweestream to sync between site and twitter, use FriendFeed tool to keep twitter and FriendFeed synchronized … that should do the trick at the basic level.

Wordpress 3
Buddypress 1.2.5.2
Fresh new installations
(No upgrades, no conversions, just Multisite/multiblog and subdirectory from the beginning)
Sample blog post – http://kmela.net/kc/newdemo/2010/07/06/new-post-one/
Sample activity stream – http://kmela.net/kc/members/newdemo/activity/

User newdemo is confused as she uploaded her avatar from BP but cannot see that in her blog comment

I hate repeating myself but the reason I mention the renaming is BuddyPress uses the “forums” slug by default, so if you installed standalone bbPress at /forums/, there will be a slug conflict.

Did you even install standalone bbPress?

On a properly-integrated bbPress and WordPress install, you can login at standalone bbPress and you will be logged in at WordPress and vice versa. I’ve done this on multiple occasions and it works.

@ronia , @alierkurt –
Try the newest release — BP 1.2.5.1 — and see if that works:

Hi there. Thanx for the tuts & info.
Any chance of updating malleable for BP theme ? I see you removed it from xfactor site.
