Did you install BBcode lite plugin? https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-lite/

[Atsutane]

$sql="SELECT * FROM bb_posts WHERE post_topic='' ORDER BY post_id DESC LIMIT 8";

It seem like you telling the script to look for post with empty topic. Try change it to this:

$sql="SELECT * FROM bb_posts ORDER BY post_id DESC LIMIT 8";

[Atsutane]

“A link to the server could not be established” It seem like the database server suddenly disconnect your connection.

By any chance do you use remote database server?

[Atsutane]

Nothing secret. My forum is on subdomain while my blog is on main domain.

All i need to do is define define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.atsutane.net'); and define('COOKIEPATH', '/'); inside wp-config.php

And if you are using Bbpress 1.0 RC1 with WP 2.7.1, you need to defind this define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1); inside bb-config.php.

Another thing is, i let bbpress handle all registration and log in/log out process.

Hope this will help you

[Atsutane]

I do mine perfectly with WP 2.7.1 and BBPress 1.0 RC1

[Atsutane]

Actually u can archive that using JavaScript, CSS and Bbpress action hook. You can use CSS to hide the “Post Form” and make it visible back using JavaScript.

It kinda like using JavaScript to expand navigation menu. Well that should give you some idea

[Atsutane]

Go to Admin Page -> Setting. There u can change the tittle for your forum

[Atsutane]

To add meta tag using plugin…

add_action('bb_head', 'meta_bb_header');



function meta_bb_header() {

echo 'Your meta tag here';

}

Maybe you can use ping service like Ping-o-Matic that were design for blog, to notify other service that you have update your forum. Never try it yet with bbpress so kinda don’t know how it gonna be

Another alternative maybe submit sitemap at Google Webmaster.

[Atsutane]

You can find basic action/filter hook inside pluggable.php and template-functions.php

And for function that not need any action/filter hook, u need to create it by imagination

@johnhiler

I want to correct something here. Bbpress latests discussion is a wordpress plugin, not a bbpress plugin. It should not conflict with any bbpress function.

[Atsutane]

Did u check ur username? If i not wrong it kinda case-sensitive… Well that what happen to me last time.

[Atsutane]

Maybe u can try this plugin https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/force-login/

[Atsutane]

Well since bbpress and wordpress are using ezsql… you can find ezsql tutorial here.

http://justinvincent.com/docs/ezsql/ez_sql_help.htm

[Atsutane]

Glad it work for you. For some reason i notice the default plugin setup not work on some server. Fix the problem already.

[Atsutane]

The setting is missing. U need to configure the setting first inside the option page.

[Atsutane]

U can put that code as a plugin.

[Atsutane]

Sorry my bad Forgot to update the readme file.

[Atsutane]

With new version of plugin, u dont need to edit the file directly anymore. U can always get the new version from https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/39

From what i can see. SELECT * FROM topics WHERE It seem the bb table prefix is missing. Maybe u miss the setting.

I dont know what u mean by “i still have the SMF forum that reads the forum topics” but u can find the option page inside wordpress option under “BbLD Option”

[Atsutane]

certainly can .. If u using BbLD. There is an option to use external DB. But i wont recommend making a connection between different server/location.

Another way to do .. parse your forum rss feed.

[Atsutane]

The fix i already put inside the plugin seem not working. Maybe in the future bbpress should automatically fill up the display_name

Anyway i try to see what i can do with that.

[Atsutane]

Glad it work perfectly for you

[Atsutane]

FROM _bbtopics

it seem to me your bb table prefix kinda mess up. Try check back inside option page. I also using wp 2.1.2 and bb 0.8.1, and still i can update my option

Try deactive and reactive the plugin back .. maybe that gonna fix it.

@fel64

thanks i will keep that in mind

[Atsutane]

Update the plugin already. Now u can set the length of the text from BbLD option page. Get it from bbPress plugin page.

Refer to changelog for older update. Hope this gonna solve your problem

[Atsutane]

Well if you really want it. I have some time to kill so i think, i will try to do this. Before i start i need to know some detail.

Your wordpress using custom db prefix?

Your bbpress using custom db prefix?

Do you need stats like “Registered Users count” and “Post count”? Or you just want “Most Popular Topics”?
