  1. Hello,
    It looks like I've successfully installed BBpress, but when visitors (or admin) click on a forum post from internet explorer, the page hangs and times out. The post is never displayed. The same thing happens when trying to create a new post.

    Is there some firewall issue with my host? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

  2. What are your $bb->domain and $bb->path settings?

  3. I'm having the same problem.

    Here are my details:

    $bb->domain = 'http://jessanastasia.com';
    $bb->path = '/forums/';

  4. Perhaps you have not yet set up Pretty permalinks.

  5. I have them set up.

  6. jessind,

    I tried your site in firefox and http://jessanastasia.com/forums/topic/1 gave a 404 not found reply (which was then caught by your WordPress for some reason and I ended up at your blog).

    Which method did you use to set up permalinks? MultiViews or the rewrite stuff? Did you put the .htaccess file in the forums directory?

  7. yea. i put the .htaccess file in the forums directory. before i couldn't get it to work with or without permalinks but now it magically works without. so everything seems to be good. i just don't know why the permalinks wouldn't work.

    I guess I could have missed it, but I didn't see anything talking about .htaccess during the basic install process. This looks like yet another item for the 1, 2, 3 Install List. I sooo appreciate the desire to keep this SIMPLE, SIMPLE, SIMPLE but if a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 process would actually cover everything, that would be effectively more simple than a three-stepper that leaves out just enough to throw folks a tiny bit off track. Just my 2 cents.

  9. Solution :
    in includes/template-functions.php
    replace
    switch ( bb_find_filename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) ) :

    by
    switch ( bb_find_filename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) ) :
