In reply to: Help! I renamed my bbpress file directory name…
I don’t think were any changes. The original poster had problems I don’t think anyone was able to recreate. I had no trouble with it; same as your experience. Maybe their configuration was different in some way.
In reply to: Exporting bbPress to phpBB2?The last I heard was that import/export was going to be a Google Summer of Code project, but I can’t find any updates there:

In reply to: Too Much to “Plug In”I was thinking when I read the subject line that this would be criticism of the amount of change between versions and the amount of work required to update the plugins for each new release. It took WordPress a while to get to their “automated notification” for plugins. Maybe it will take a while for something like that for bbPress.
1. Number of tags: in your template file, where the tags are displayed, there is a call to bb_tag_heat_map – that accepts parameters, the last of which is the number of tags to return. Put whatever you want in there. The first two parameters are font min and font max size, and the next parameter is what measure to use for the font sizes.
<?php bb_tag_heat_map( 9, 38, 'pt', 80 ); ?>That’s 9pts minimum, 38pts maximum, return the top 80 tags
2. No suggestions for you there. Not sure I understand the concern.
3. This can be done in your template files as well.
In reply to: new admin cant see forumsThat’s pretty weird. Glad you solved it.
In reply to: language pack problemDid you modify bb-config.php to use that language file? Once the file is installed, you need to put in the config to use it:
Near the bottom of bb-config.php – you need something like this:
define('BB_LANG', 'es_ES');In reply to: rewrite rules doesnt work.People have had trouble with godaddy and .htaccess before. I have heard that it takes a while for the changes to take effect? I don’t use them for hosting so I can’t confirm.

In reply to: new admin cant see forumsNo need to upgrade: I was just pointing out that my wild guess does not apply to you. The problems you are having are not going to be solved with an upgrade.
In reply to: Admin panel link redirects to front pageSo the only thing that does not work is the link to admin? Everything else works? You can post and reply and navigate to current topics?
What sort of host is this on? Linux of Windows?
In reply to: Private Message PopupYou don’t need to use a function: you could add the functionality you want just by hacking the plugin. You can always refactor later to move some things into functions.
Start simple. Find the place where the message is displayed to the user. Then, add some html there to display an image. Make sure you upload the image, then make sure you get the path to the image correct. I think that would be pretty simple.
I thought there was a “newmail.png” already included though? I don’t use the PM plugin, but if that icon is present, where is it displayed? If it’s not on the page you want, I would use the same method they use to display it, just on a different page.
Although the title of this topic is “Private Messaging Popup” you’re not looking to create a javascript popup when the user logs in that they have a PM, are you?
You could also contact the plugin author:

From that page:
Visible representation of when a message hasn't been seen (in your inbox and sent box)In reply to: SVN procedure for checking out bbPress?I think you left off the trailing “[space] dot” that indicates “put it in the current directory” or path. From the svn help:
If PATH is omitted, the basename of the URL will be
used as the destination.That means it creates “trunk” for you, which you don’t want.
Just delete the
trunkdirectory and cd into the forum directory again, and run this whole thing:svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/ .There is a / then a [space] then a period at the end there. That will put it into the current directory with no trunk directory being created.
The previous reply says “posted 15 seconds ago” immediately after I posted it.
Resurrecting this thread. This forum has been slow all day. Slow to load pages; slow to add tags; slow to reply. Most replies I submit have something on the order of 23 seconds as the “Posted” time where it’s normally between 1 and 3 seconds.
FYI
In reply to: Admin panel link redirects to front pageWhen you say does nothing, what actually happens? Redirected to the previous page, or the same page just reloads without being in the admin section? Something has to be happening, right?
How about permalinks? None, numeric of name-based? Can you click other things on the forum and get to those pages?
If the user you logged in as was not a keymaster (or admin or moderator), you would not see the admin link (I don’t think.) So I doubt that you lost the keymaster privileges.
Are you using any plugins? Are you using the default theme? Have you made any modifications?
In reply to: BBpress showing wordpress 404 pageMost likely due to selecting permalinks but not setting up the .htaccess file with rewrite rules.

In reply to: Forum is Category – bbPress 1.0 alphaMy take on it (completely uninformed BTW) was that a category acts like a parent that won’t have any topics in it. There have been requests in the past when creating multiple subforums to be able to skip putting topics in a parent forum (now called a category). It would just be a container for subforums.
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/520

In reply to: new admin cant see forumsSorry – the categories thing applies to the alpha release only, not 0.9.0.2. Sorry for the misinformation.
In reply to: Subforums of needed forumThat screenshot is nothing like what you described earlier. What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want it like the screenshot with parent and child forums just laid out in different areas on the front page?
In reply to: Subforums of needed forumI’m afraid I still don’t understand what you’re trying to do. You will have those other forums and sub forums, but they won’t be listed on the front page? What is the rationale? Maybe a plugin already exists to do what you want.
Maybe the Hidden Forums plugin will help you.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/
If the forums are not listed on the front page, how will you get to them otherwise? And if you can’t get to them, why are they there?
In reply to: new admin cant see forumsIt’s not related to this is it?
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-add-topic#post-18610
All the forums set to categories? Just a SWAG.
In reply to: Language changed without any actionIt’s OK to start a new topic for a new problem.
To change the language, you need to make a change to the bb-config.php file, and you need to install the language files. There is an Arabic language file shared here:
To install a language file, the instructions are right in that area of bb-config.php:
// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define('BB_LANG', '');You put the file (downloaded from Google Code) into the `bb-includes/languages/ directory. Then enter the name of the file here in between the single quotes for the BB_LANG constant. For Arabic, I think the file is ar_AR.mo, so your config line would be:
define('BB_LANG', 'ar_AR.mo');There are more files available at that code.google.com site for an Arabic bbPress. It’s actually very nice that someone shared all their work. Looks like there is a localized version of bbPress there as well, possibly with more items translated that were not translatable with a language file.
In reply to: Keymaster lost after integrationI have no idea. Might be this (based on looking at another user in my database):
a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}But I would just change them through the Admin backend, rather than directly in the database. Much safer. Once you have the keymaster back and can log in, you can change anyone you want to administrator or other level one logged in.
In reply to: Keymaster lost after integrationYes – you just need to do it for the proper user in the wp_user_meta table. Sounds like you’re getting somewhere. You need to look in the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables for your new bbPress users.
In reply to: Keymaster lost after integrationIf you used integration, then new users go into the wp_users and wp_usermeta table. That’s the correct behavior.
In reply to: Keymaster lost after integrationAre you using any plugins that could cause this? Maybe the Display Name plugin? I’ve heard that creates trouble for some people.
I’m sure there’s a way to fix this through the database. Have you created a regular member you can log in as? If so, then you just need to promote them to keymaster in the database. Try this:
There was this old trick too – not sure if it still works:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/no-site-keymasters?replies=6#post-909
In reply to: Strange error on postIt’s possible something in the content you were posting was not escaped properly and it caused a syntax error when bbPress tried to insert it into the database. I don’t imagine you have the text of what you were trying to post, do you? You could try posting it here and see if this errors out.
It’s possible with that old version that something was fixed in the latest release and it won’t occur here.
