Then just put the files into the root folder where the subdomain points. Hope this helps. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugins-locations#post-21068 Thu, 27 Nov 2008 15:27:55 +0000 chrishajer 21068@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I have asked in the past about including the my-plugins and my-templates directories as well.

It's very weird, especially since documentation to create it is very sparse and they will still work if you put items incorrectly into the <code>bb-</code> directories. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugins-locations#post-21045 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 21:23:41 +0000 787Consulting 21045@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Thanks guys! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugins-locations#post-21040 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 19:26:41 +0000 mobiel internet 21040@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>You can just use the /my-plugins/ folder </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugins-locations#post-21039 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 19:10:56 +0000 Ipstenu 21039@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>You need to create the folder :) You'll have these folders on the root of your forums:</p> <pre><code>/bb-admin/ /bb-cache/ /bb-includes/ /bb-plugins/ /bb-templates/ /my-plugins/ /my-templates/</code></pre> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugins-locations#post-21035 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 17:26:23 +0000 787Consulting 21035@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I have been dowloading the plugins from the forums and now in several readme.txt files the creators keep refering to the plugins location at /my-plugins/. </p> <p>Now in WP I know that plugins is located under w-content/plugins/ so I had assumed that bb-plugins was the correct folder.</p> <p>is /my-plugins/ just a verbage for a standard plugin folder or do you have to create a new folder?</p> <p>PS I know what they say about assuming... makes an ASS out of U and ME. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/in-which-folder-upload-bbpress#post-20917 Sat, 22 Nov 2008 00:15:26 +0000 chrishajer 20917@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>No, I meant what I said.

So you might have something like this:</p> <pre><code>/var/www/public/website/wordpress /var/www/public/website/wordpress/bbpress/</code></pre> &nbsp;</p> <p>The 404 error might be because you are trying to use permalinks, either "slugs" or true, and they're not set up on your server. I would change them to <code>false</code> for now and see if you can get the links to work. If that works, then you know that was the problem and you just need to set up permalinks.</p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks</a></p> <p>phpBB3 conversion:<br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-converstion" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-converstion</a></p> <p>I don't think so, not easily, not yet.

See my profile, go to that website and follow the the "contact us" link and email to support. I will help you out. You don't need to get into the development of bbPress.</p> <p>Also, you're not experiencing 'errors with graphics' you've got a problem with the path to your stylesheet. That's all. That may very well be a bug, but all software has bugs. Don't just trade one problem for another.</p> <p>vanilla support forum: <a href="http://lussumo.com/community/9/" rel="nofollow">http://lussumo.com/community/9/</a></p> <p>Also, did you ever look in a rendered page (in your browser) for the stylesheet line? If you do see that (use 'view source' or something similar in your browser when you pull up a page similar to the one you took a screenshot of) post the information from that stylesheet line. My guess is that the slashes are backslashes.</p> <p>Also, I never understood the point of installing community/forum software on localhost, unless it's just for testing. Even if that's the case, I prefer to test in the environment where it will be live so you're not solving problems that won't ever happen once it's live, and you won't experience new problems that you didn't anticipate.</p> <p>But, contact me off-forum and I will help you. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-installed-the-thing-but-it-does-not-show-graphics-and-interface#post-4874 Sun, 25 Feb 2007 16:26:16 +0000 Trent 4874@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I understand your frustration on this issue flatworm, but as ChrisHajer has already told you, there has been some issue with installating bbPress on localhost.
