Please post a link to your forum so we can take a look. 2. No styling usually means the path to the stylesheet is wrong. You can look in the source of the HTML to see that. 3. Redirecting is probably because you have <code>true</code> or <code>slugs</code> for your permalinks setting, but you haven't set up permalinks yet. You can set the permalinks to <code>false</code> to get the forum working right now, then take the next step and make permalinks work. <a href="http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks</a> Either that, or the stylesheet is really not there at the URL you tried, and WordPress is intercepting that and sending you to 404 page.

It asked me for the Site address (URL), which was defaulted to: <a href="http://mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/" rel="nofollow">http://mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/</a> I changed this to <a href="http://mysite.com/forums/" rel="nofollow">http://mysite.com/forums/</a> Now I can't access the forums at all, and I can't figure out how to change the URL back. I looked at bb-config.php, but didn't see any way to fix this. I'm not good with PHP and I'm new to Wordpress in general, so any novice advice would be much appreciated! docpepper on "404 Errors in Internet Explorer Only" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/404-errors-in-internet-explorer-only/page/2#post-17047 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 09:17:36 +0000 docpepper 17047@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hi, don't know whether this is solved or not... I am using wordpress 2.3.3 as a Blog section on one of my clients websites. I started getting the IE7 404 error on all my pages after I added almost pretty permalinks to my pages...It did seems to go when I removed the blog-header require statement, but obviously this didnt fix the problem! I set the permalinks back to default in wordpress and the 404 errors stopped! Might be worth trying if you are using pretty permas?...Let me know if it works! mdawaffe on "Where is the setting for mail server config?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-is-the-setting-for-mail-server-config#post-15767 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 17:04:07 +0000 mdawaffe 15767@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Since bb_mail() is in pluggable.php, it can be completely replaced by a plugin without having to modify any core files. I suggest you write your plugin to do that instead of requiring people to modify pluggable.php. <pre><code>/* Plugin Name: SMTP PEAR blah */ if ( !function_exists( 'bb_mail' ) ) : function bb_mail() { // my replacement for bb_mail() } endif;</code></pre> DJP on "Where is the setting for mail server config?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-is-the-setting-for-mail-server-config#post-15758 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 13:49:16 +0000 DJP 15758@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Woohoo!!! Got the PEAR-shaped workaround working. A guy called Rob Hartzenberg at my hosting provider wrote the plugin for bbpress that uses the PEAR mail package to allow authentication. All I needed to do was: 1. download & edit the plugin file to reflect my own SMTP host, port number, username (email address) & my password; 2. replace the last line of the bb_mail() function in "bb-includes/pluggable.php with 2 lines of code supplied in the installation instructions; 3. Login as keymaster & activate the plugin. Voila! I will be uploading the plugin shortly as I reckon there will be people in need of this workaround as quite a lot of hosting providers require SMTP authentication. What a relief :) many thanks to everyone that tried to assist & an even bigger THANK YOU to Rob at Imaginet.

It currently suppors: PHP's native mail() function, sendmail, and SMTP. I will keep you posted because if my hosting provider isn't prepared to change his server authentication requirements, this PEAR-shaped workaround may turn out to be a good one for other bbpress users with the same problem. Thanks :) sambauers on "Where is the setting for mail server config?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-is-the-setting-for-mail-server-config#post-15732 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:12:47 +0000 sambauers 15732@http://bbpress.org/forums/ The bb_mail() function that sends emails uses the basic mail() function of PHP. That means that the web server needs to be able to send the mail. There is no built in way to set the mail server to anything else. This would be possible with a plugin, but I don't think that plugin exists.

I had bbpress 0.9 installed on a previous hosting provider & the system would send out emails to new registrants without any problem. However, I have moved to a new hosting provider that requires authentication for the mail to be sent, and will not allow "localhost" as the outgoing mail server. Where do I find the php file that allows me to change it from localhost to a specific "outgoing mail server" domain? Is it even possible?

Running them integrated but standalone makes each of them faster and has a side benefit - one can work while the other is down for some reason. Virtually any of the data you might want from WP can be accessed with a few creative PHP/mysql calls from bbPress. If you let me know specifically what you are trying to do, I will try to help. chrishajer on "404 Errors in Internet Explorer Only" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/404-errors-in-internet-explorer-only#post-13810 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 21:45:22 +0000 chrishajer 13810@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Regarding incompatibilities between WP and bbP, see this: <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-038-wordpress-integration#post-13713" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-038-wordpress-integration#post-13713</a> There *are* incompatibilities right now.

He argues with the secretary and finally the doctor agrees to make a few minutes to see him. The man arrives, clearly distressed. He tells the doctor, whenever I push on my bellybutton, I faint, my nose bleeds, and my feet go numb for an hour. The doctor turns pale and rushes the man to the hospital, where the man is kept for a week while all kinds of tests are run by numerous specialists. Finally, the doctor returns, and the man begs him to give a diagnosis. The doctor says, I don't know what's wrong with you, but I have found a cure. The man, desperate, begs hims to continue. The doctor says, "Don't do that anymore." noyz319 on "404 Errors in Internet Explorer Only" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/404-errors-in-internet-explorer-only#post-13808 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 21:43:26 +0000 noyz319 13808@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Still, the only thing i can think of that is causing this is some sort of incompatibility between Wordpress 2.3.3 and BBpress 0.8.3.1. chrishajer on "404 Errors in Internet Explorer Only" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/404-errors-in-internet-explorer-only#post-13806 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 21:38:24 +0000 chrishajer 13806@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Crossed messages ... chrishajer on "404 Errors in Internet Explorer Only" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/404-errors-in-internet-explorer-only#post-13805 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 21:37:41 +0000 chrishajer 13805@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I don't think problem is with plugins, I think the problem is with the way WordPress is being called by bbPress, in both cases here.

As far as why i'm running wp and bbpress, thats so i don't have to change multiple files whenever there's an update to the header, footer, sidebar etc. and so i can use wordpress functions in sidebar to show recent posts, etc. Its one website so i'd like it to have just one set up templates. chrishajer on "404 Errors in Internet Explorer Only" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/404-errors-in-internet-explorer-only#post-13801 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 21:33:07 +0000 chrishajer 13801@http://bbpress.org/forums/ noyz319: I would try a stock installation of bbPress without the WordPress stuff.
