In reply to: All setting use cache
BTW, _ck_, that’s a very cool plugin. Not sure how I missed the announcement on that one.
In reply to: All setting use cacheFrom the FAQ:
serialized and boolean data (true/false) cannot be edited at this time for safety reasons - that may eventually changeBased on that, I don’t think you can, at least not with this version.
In reply to: Install Many QuestionsYes, there is an option to change the password. Once you’re logged in, just go to your profile, then Edit, and at the bottom of that page you can enter your new password twice to reset it.
I don’t think you need to reinstall anything. Just log in and access the admin and go to Manage > Forums > Edit (one of your forums) and make sure the forums are not all marked “Category.”
Although it’s easy to just reinstall, if you do things the same way, you’re going to get the same result. You can fix what’s already installed unless something catastrophic happened during installation.
You should still supply your forum address, and the version of bbPress you installed, and if you integrated with WordPress, then that version as well. These things will help someone help you solve your problem.
In reply to: admin interfaceIf you log in as keymaster, you will see a link next to your name “Admin” – follow that to the admin.
If you are logged in but you don’t see that link, then you are not keymaster. Need more information about what you installed and if it’s integrated, if that’s the case.
In reply to: Install Many QuestionsThere is normally a way to add new topics. If that is not present in your installation something is certainly wrong. Can you post the URL to your forum?
Is it possible you have all your forums set as categories? If that’s the case, categories can only hold other forums (subforums) not individual topics. Someone posted about that before.

What version bbPress are you using, and is it integrated with WordPress (and if so, what version WordPress?)
In reply to: Trouble Understand Role IntegrationWP Admin should be BB Key Master. Those are the top levels in both.
In reply to: Stylesheet problem with 9.0.2 upgradeWhat is the URL to your forum?
In reply to: Home Page Link, Custom HeaderBasically, you edit your theme files.

In reply to: wiki bbpress? :)Are you looking to incorporate a wiki inside bbPress, or are you looking for a wiki that is about bbPress?
Here’s one about bbPress:
In reply to: phpbb3 import to bbpress… how?I’ve never done it, but I think the normal route is to go from phpBB3 to phpBB2 then go from phpBB2 to bbPress.
Here is some of the discussion:
In reply to: Is BBPress Any Good?> What do I get with bbPress?
Free forum software that is under active development
> Is it secure?
Yes.
> Will it get spammed to death?
No. It comes with Akismet to prevent spammers from posting, and you can use the Human Test plugin to prevent them from registering in the first place.
> Is it stable?
Yes. Even the latest Alpha version has been stable for me.
> Is it designed for personal sites or can businesses
> use it with confidence?
It’s designed for people who need forums. Businesses and individuals alike use it. Check out these people using bbPress.
In reply to: htaccess not working (404 , no 500)Have you tried it WITHOUT permalinks and the .htaccess rewrite rules?
In reply to: Embeds Photos in user postsThere is no rich text editor right now. There are quicktags.
There are several versions of a quicktags plugin for bbPress: not sure which one is best or still works.
For images, if people can host it somewhere, you want the Allow Images plugin.
If you want to allow people to upload attachments (including images) you want the bbPress Attachments plugin.
If you read the instructions for the bbPress Attachments plugin, you will see how they can attach an image first, then embed that image in their post.
In reply to: Delete Post by It’s OwnerIn the admin under Settings > General, there is a post timeout setting (“Lock post editing after”):
/bb-admin/options-general.php
The default is 60. Try setting it to -1 and see if a normal user can edit an old post. If the -1 does not work, try some insanely large number of minutes so it appears that there is no limit to editing the posts. 525600 is a year’s worth of minutes.
In reply to: Privacy Forum – is it really private?I don’t see how the cookie has anything to do with google indexing your pages. Forums hidden with the “Hidden Forums” plugin won’t be indexed either. If you want to prevent anyone (including search engines) from seeing certain forums, protect them with the Hidden Forums plugin. If you want to prevent search engines from caching public forums, then use the mini-plugin that _ck_ posted.
To use it as a plugin, just create a plugin file. The only difference between what _ck_ posted and a full blown plugin is the header.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: No Archive
Description: Prevent some search engines from caching your forum
*/
function noarchive() {
echo "n".'<meta NAME="robots" CONTENT="noarchive">'."n";
}
add_action('bb_head', 'noarchive');
?>Now, save that as a file, something like “noarchive.php” and save it in your my-plugins folder. Active the plugin in the admin and then load a forum page and check the headers to see if it worked.
_ck_ likes to create one plugin called bb-tweaks.php that contains all these little function tweaks. Then you just need one header and all the little functions can be dropped into the one file.
In reply to: Integrate a memberlist by defaultPut it on an admin page, like the dashboard. (bb-admin/index.php)
In reply to: Hiding Subforums’ Subforums from Subforum PagesIt’s too bad the pastebin code is no longer available.
In reply to: about sessionsSounds more like a PHP question than either a bbPress or WordPress question. Sessions are outside the scope of what’s built in to bbPress and WordPress (unless I am completely off.)
Use this procedure:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/delete-post-by-its-owner#post-18737
Make it its own plugin, or put into a plugin file with other tweaks.
In reply to: about sessionsSounds like a WordPress question?
bbPress and WordPress both use cookies not sessions for storing the state. Not sure how you would go about this.
In reply to: integration??No
Integration means your users can log in to either bbPress or WordPress and be logged in in the other application. That’s all the built in integration accomplishes.
If you want the cross-posting between bbPress and WordPress, you want bbSync.

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/bbsync
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbsync-broken-plugin-like-it-bb-10#post-18577
Also, integration has nothing to do with the visual look and feel of bbPress. If you want to make bbPress look like your WordPress installation, you need to modify a theme to look like it (CSS and XHTML work.)
Pretty thorough discussion of what works and how to do it:

In reply to: question about updateYes – to upgrade, just remove the old files, saving any you’ve added or modified (bb-config.php, my-templates and my-plugins, at least) then install the new version. Then, you normally access a URL like http://www.example.com/bbpress/bb-admin/upgrade.php which takes care of the database changes.
Always back everything up first (both filesystem and database) so you can go back if something goes wrong.
In reply to: Too Much to “Plug In”How about this for the Latest Discussions on the front page:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/front-page-topics/page/2/#post-1707
Not sure if that affects the number of topics shown in the forums or not. I suspect a quick look through the plugin would tell you.
In reply to: Exporting bbPress to phpBB2?I tagged this for Sam Bauers, the developer who posted the original information at the GSOC page. Maybe he will stop by and add some insight.
In reply to: Admin panel link redirects to front pageInteresting. There have been differences between IE and FF before, but I haven’t heard of one between FF3 and FF2 until now. Was it possibly a cookie issue, where the other browsers would not have had the cookies that FF3 had?
