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.

Hi Ashish,

Been thru your blog and found it pretty techy for someone like me, who has been more on the marketing front for over 17 years now. I have also been thru your services list. My blog is on squarespace.com which is an editor based blog hosting service. Can u please assess my blog and suggest whether it would be better to continue on an easy interface like Squarespace or should i go for wordpress, since i need to build a new website very shortly.

Thanks for your time in advance & look forward to your reply.

@David
First of all take care of some formatting man.
Now, check for two things.
(1) Have you understood the point of changing the table prefixes and how to handle them at certain steps? If you are doing it on a fresh installation of both, then try doing it with the default table prefixes.
(2) Make sure that you type the single quotes of the statement manually :
Instead of
$bb->custom_user_table = ‘wp_users’;
$bb->custom_user_meta_table = ‘wp_usermeta’;
It should be

$bb->custom_user_table = 'wp_users';
$bb->custom_user_meta_table = 'wp_usermeta';

@Payam
Sorry your comment was caught as spam by Akismet.
Well you need to have the bbpress files immediately under a folder “forums” if you want http://example.org/forums/ as your forums URL or “talk” if you want http://example.org/talk/ as your forums URL.
Let me know if you need more help.

Hi there,

I am trying to follow your instructions to integrate bbpress 0.9.0.4 with wordpress 2.7.1 that is already installed on my website. I created the forums subfolder under wordpress directory. I have also ftp’d bbpress 0.9.0.4 to the root directory of my hosted site. I am not sure why http://example.org/forums/ should start the bbpress installation. If I go to http://example.org/bbpress-0.9.0.4/bbpress, the installation of bbpress starts, but I am not sure whether I should do that. When I go to http://example.org/forums/ as you are suggesting, I get “Sorry. We cannot find the location you are looking for.”. Shall I copy the bbpress folder to forums subfolder to make the first step work?

I would appreciate your help.

Best,
Payam
