Hi,

You must have them, if you are certain that you don’t then try adding them.

Hi, it seems that I was able to follow your wonderful walkthrough until the very end. I have tried installing the fix-admin-access plugin to no avail; I still cannot get into my bbpress admin panel.

I also tried to edit via phpMyAdmin but I do not have the following fields under the wp_usermeta:
bb_capabilities => a:1:{s:9:”keymaster”;b:1;}
wp_user_level => 10 (make sure this is the value)

(WordPress and bbPress table prefixes are set at default) Obviously I have gone wrong somewhere. Do you have any insights?

Thanks

You can add them after bbPress has installed, it is in the Settings option.

Hi Sean,

You can make s2M fill bbPress roles while it creates roles for itself for a particular user. It surely can be done but I am running busy for a week, have my exams.

Greeting Ashish. Apologies if this is not the most appropriate place for this line of questioning, but you definitely strike me as one that might have a solution for me… or at least get me started in the right direction. It’s definitely within the category of integrating WordPress+bbPress, but the real trick here is I am trying to use the s2Member plugin to register members to the site I’m working on. The plugin is working great for me so far and I’ve got bbPress deep integrated successfully.

The problem lies in the custom member roles that s2M creates and how they are not the standard WP user roles for bbPress… so the members within the forum have no role assigned to them. I suspect that the answer lies in creating a new table in my DB that assigns the custom s2M roles to the standard bbPress roles (really just trying to make them all a bbPress “member”) and then somehow query that on loading bbPress. Only problem is, that is way over my head. Do you have any suggestions on how I could go about doing that?

I’m not assuming that you are familiar with S2Member, but I’d bet you know what I’m talking about regarding mapping custom user roles. I would certainly appreciate any help/suggestions you can provide. Thanks!

(WP 2.92, bbP 1.02, s2M 3.04)

I think its best to ask on BuddyPress forums. bbPress and bbPress within BuddyPress works differently

Hi!

I’m using bbpress as a plugin with Buddypress and WPMU….can you tell me how to add subforums?

Also, I’m having Login issues with forum /Cannot login directly after signing up. Caused by plugin Invisible Defender installed to prevent Splogging. After many trials this was the only plugin that gave satisfactory results. Logging in normally works though.

Thanks!

Thank you for the tips on user roles. After setting up bbPress Integration it wiped out both my WP and bbP logins. I was able to get the WP login back but not the bbP until I read your post. Now just to work out the cookies issue so that logging in to one admin does not destroy the admin cookie for the other. Cheers!

@Raffaell
Do you have the database backups of previous versions? If that’s the case, then I would suggest upgrading the database first by upgrading a previous installation & then running the database upgradation script within bbPress.

Hi there,

Thanks for such great tutorial. I just follow all your tuts and its works like a charm, but now how about the tags ? I dont know where should I put my old bbpress tag, as new installation and automatic integration the bb_tags is no longer in the database.

@Rashmi
I guess you are using a different CMS other than WordPress and I would definitely recommend WordPress MU for a site like yours.
