Looking forward to playing with the new version :) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-bit-of-advice-needed#post-16652 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 02:35:08 +0000 chrishajer 16652@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>If you are installing fresh, sure, just delete those. If you want, you can change the table prefix in your new bbpress installation. I forget where it is in the installation procedure, but maybe it's under an option called "advanced database settings" or something? I think it was hidden unless you reveal it by clicking.</p> <p>If bbPress finds the bb_ tables there already, I suspect it might just try to upgrade the database. That's probably OK, but if you don't need the old bbPress installation, I would just start from scratch with new tables. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-bit-of-advice-needed#post-16629 Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:55:53 +0000 alexleonard 16629@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Ah brilliant, </p> <p>Thanks so much for the clarification. I was getting the feeling that quite a few things had changed all right. The main development site has had quite a lot of work done so far, but on bbpress all I had really done was set it to use the header and footer from the WP theme. </p> <p>It'll be easy to dump it and start again.</p> <p>Actually on that point. In installing the old version I stored the bb_press database tables in this site's WordPress database, eg:</p> <pre><code>| bb_forums | | bb_posts | | bb_tagged | | bb_tags | | bb_topicmeta | | bb_topics | | wp_comments | | wp_ig_caticons | | wp_links | | wp_options | | wp_postmeta | | wp_posts | | wp_term_relationships | | wp_term_taxonomy | | wp_terms | | wp_usermeta | | wp_users |</code></pre> <p>Should I delete each of the tables prefixed "bb_" before continuing?</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Alex </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-bit-of-advice-needed#post-16625 Fri, 06 Jun 2008 14:51:26 +0000 chrishajer 16625@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I would install bbPress latest which is 0.9.0.2 and WordPress latest which is 2.5.1. The big change with WordPress 2.5.* and bbpress 0.9.* was with the cookies. If you have only a few test posts, I would just install WordPress fresh (or upgrade your WordPress installation) then install bbPress fresh. Integration is totally different now, no more plugins.</p> <p>Good luck. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-bit-of-advice-needed#post-16622 Fri, 06 Jun 2008 11:25:10 +0000 alexleonard 16622@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>I started development on a wordpress + bbpress site quite a while back. Development stalled and I'm only coming back to it now.</p> <p>I had integrated wp + bbp fairly successfully but I have a feeling upgrading to WP2.5.1 might have broken a lot of that cross compatibility.</p> <p>The bbpress installed version is 0.8.3.1, but essentially it's an empty forum (a couple of test posts from myself).</p> <p>Regarding upgrading to the latest version, I get a feeling I might almost be better off completely wiping the original forum version and starting again - I might run into less problems? I had a look through the trac but couldn't really work out how much substantial change there has been between current and my older version.</p> <p>Any suggestions?</p> <p>Is uninstalling and reinstalling reasonably easy? </p>
