The only bbPress table with data in it is bb_meta, with 15 rows. None of the other bbPress tables have any data in them.</p> <p>I did change the bb_ table prefix to bbpress_ and used a different one for WordPress too (wordpress_ instead of wp_) but that was all done pre-installation. The tables are there, just no data in them. It did read the WordPress user table at some point and told me the username to log in with, and "use current password" or something similar. So, somehere along the way, it died. I'm less concerned with getting my install fixed and more concerned with getting the <strong>installer</strong> fixed. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-could-not-be-created#post-19836 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 18:58:47 +0000 Benzilla069 19836@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi Chris, I also usually get this problem. I've been meaning to document it to the developers but I found a quick fix if you are comfortable in phpmyadmin, unfortunately I'm about to leave for the night so I can't whip up a PHP script for you.</p> <p>The problem is, as it's mentions that the forum in the database cannot be created and when you try to visit the site it tries to keep finding the first database which is not there and it keeps redirecting forever.</p> <p>To fix it, goto the bb_forums table and just insert a record of any data you please(forum_id needs to be 0 iirc or it might be 1) the rest can just be dummy data.</p> <p>That will fix it. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-could-not-be-created#post-19835 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 18:25:15 +0000 chrishajer 19835@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>WordPress 2.6.2 svn checkout r8849<br /> bbPress trunk svn checkout r1794</p> <p>I installed WordPress first and that went fine.

It's <strong>too</strong> "in your face now." I think it should have been in the template files and commented out. People could uncomment it to get the functionality. We'll never be happy. At least with it there now, people can see it, remove it or style it however they want. This is probably better than there being nothing in the template at all before. That's typically how WordPress themes are: they have a bunch of useless cr*p in them that I just remove or comment out. It's easier to remove or modify something that you can see than trying to figure out how to add something you don't know exists.</p> <p>Not sure yet on the bb_meta table. I haven't looked at the DB schema yet. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wow-10-beta-looks-interesting#post-18159 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 18:45:16 +0000 _ck_ 18159@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>They kinda went overboard with the search. I pointed out there was no link to search so they put in this big honking search box at the top of the page, creating a bunch of useless whitespace around it. </p> <p>I asked for meta tables on the forums and instead they convert and consolidated everything into one heaping bb_meta table, breaking some plugins and increasing queries.</p> <p>I need to learn to stop making requests.

The code is untested against most plugins. It's a much bigger change IMHO from 0.9 to 1.0 vs the older 0.8.3 to 0.9.0 change.</p> <p>However I don't think it will take much to get it the final stamp of approval, maybe even late this month or early next, depending how many more features Sam wants to put into it.
