    Is there any other forums, that I can install easily, so they would share DB with wordpress and every wordpress post will start a thread in them?

    Any alternatives?

  • I guess (besides bbPress and the bbPress Post plugin), you could also take a look at https://www.happypoet.com/hackery/wphpbb/ as that is a way to have your wordpress entries as comments in phpBB. It is another great solution, but not the simplest to install.

    Not only that Trent, but then you have to deal with the non-security of phpBB…. ick.

    Yeah I dont like phpBB…

    Flatworm, what is the status of your integration there?
    I didnt use bbPress for the same reason you didn’t, but it turned out it was my own error. After I learned the system, I loved it and I will never go back to another forum engine again. Sure, it doesn’t have all of the bells and whistles the something like vBulletin has, but that is the purpose. Its designed to be fast, easy and non-bloated.

    // Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.
    $bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

    // If your bbPress URL is https://bbpress.example.com/fo rums/ , the examples would be correct.
    // Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.
    // Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.
    $bb->domain = ”; // Example: ‘https://bbpress.example.com’
    // There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.
    $bb->path = ‘http:/localhost’; // Example: ‘/forums/’
    //________________my_error________________
    // What are you going to call me?
    $bb->name = ‘Thinker’;

    // This must be set before running the install script.
    $bb->admin_email = ‘[email protected]’;

    How to set up this script to run my bbpress under localhost conditions?
    2 wordp and bbp are in separate folders.

    (I am not sure that plug-in that automatically creates a new thread in a forum, when you post a page in a blog will work, if two things go to separate folders)
    (There is also a plug-in forum, but it has no such option and I am unable to create such option, to start a thread automatically.)

    I have a dilema.

    Well, really, you need to ask the bbpress stuff on the bbpress forum you know.

    And I’m an idiot: I totally spaced Andy’s forum software at https://www.yellowswordfish.com/my-wordpress-plugin-library/simple-forum-wordpress-plugin/

    You can see it in operation here: https://www.yellowswordfish.com/index.php?pagename=support-forum

    It seems to be fairly tightly integrated with wp. Andy is a very helpful guy, too.
