So then long story short, I changed the url settings in bbPress, and now, every time I try to log in, it goes to a page on my wordpress, saying page not found. I can go to my forums, just not the admin page. So I deleted everything and tried to reinstall, and when I hit step 2, it says the "Already installed, Upgrade Script thing," so i click the link, and it send me back to my page on my wordpress. Is there a file that contains what that url thing should be? Because I haven't been able to find it.

Should I be using a larger scale forum package like vbulletin or phpbb ? ... My thoughts on the subject originally was to go bbpress as it may tie in well with the CMS side of the site which is controlled by wordpress, I did look in to buddypress but the whole group forum thing is off putting and the fact it is not SEO friendly and the slugs (urls) are way to long... Anyone have any comments or thoughts on this would be great....</p> <p>2) Plugins - Ok so I understand the forum is very basic in its core state and you add plugins to achieve options you require, but quite a number of plugins I have tried to use seem not to work, Also I have a concern that there will be a limited number of plugins developed for bbpress when/if it becomes a plugin.</p> <p>3) Here is a bug I have found - maybe its just on my forum... The freshness (time/date) is incorrect a lot of the test posts I have posted on the forum are from weeks and months ago, but yet they are show up as 3 weeks... yes I have heavily modified the templet files but only the html and header/footer locations... any ideas ?</p> <p>4) RSS - Also I am getting RSS error - "This page contains the following errors: error on line 10 at column 33: Entity 'raquo' not defined<br /> Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error." Anyone else have this problem or any suggestions...</p> <p>Many Thanks Guys,</p> <p>Chris </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/avatar-upload-how-to-install#post-19650 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 21:24:15 +0000 cralor 19650@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Here is how to correctly install Avatar Upload.</p> <p>The "Additional Info" is not too detailed.</p> <p>Here is the instructions on how to get the plugin (currently) on your bbPress site:</p> <p>1. Download and upload the plugin to your bbPlugins directory.<br /> 2. Activate the plugin in the bbPress Admin section.<br /> 3. Follow the file movement instructions:<br /> In the "additional-files" folder (inside this Avatar Upload plugin directory) there is several files. These need to be moved elsewhere.</p> <ul> <li> Move the entire "avatars/" folder to your bbPress root directory. (Including the "default.png" inside.) </li> <li> Move the "avatar-upload.php" to the bbPress root directory. </li> <li> Move the "avatar.php" (inside the "my-templates" folder) to your template(s) (theme(s)). Example: Move "my-templates/avatar.php" to "forums/bb-templates/kakumei/" (So it is like "forums/bb-templates/kakumei/avatar.php".) </li> </ul> <p>I hope this helps someone :D </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/first-bbpress-and-then-installing-wordpress#post-66116 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 03:46:10 +0000 Chomsky 66116@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi,<br /> I have installed bbpress first with my own website.
