In reply to: Change topic date format
The first thing you do is search these forums.
Maybe you would have stumbled upon this.
In reply to: Blank ScreenThe password normally contains special characters and that’s fine. That’s how I can usually tell if the bbPress is an old version or new version, based on the password being sent out when you register.
There is no problem with having special characters in the secret keys: it’s just that if they’re not properly escaped, the server will choke on the config file because the bb-config.php does not have proper syntax.
So, make sure the keys are the same for WordPress and bbPress, make sure the bb-config.php is syntactically correct (
php -l bb-config.phpfrom a Linux command line) and then figure out why you can’t log in.You can also make the secret keys really short and easy to compare while testing to see if that’s the problem.
It’s also worthwhile to check any php file you edited for the proper syntax. Maybe once you log in, you are being served another page that has a syntax error (a template file?) and that is causing the blank screen.
Also, access to error logs will help with this, if you have them.
In reply to: WordPress + bbPress Integration 101If beta is the new stable (thanks Google) then alpha is the new beta?
In a test installation (just copy all your WordPress files and database) you can’t really hurt anything. Just use it and see if it works enough for you.
In reply to: Strange error on postIn reply to: WordPress + bbPress Integration 101My advice would be to install it in a test instance and use it. See how unstable it is for yourself. Only you can make the determination if it’s ready enough for you or not.
In reply to: Keymaster lost after integrationHave you tried creating a new user and logging in as that? Once you have a working username and password, you could bump him up to keymaster right? Then you could probably go back and fix the original.
In reply to: can’t add topicThat’s weird. There is not “Add New” link and also no “Reply” to an existing topic.
Have you tried without including the WordPress wp-blog-header.php to see if it’s different like that. I have 1.0 alpha installed and it doesn’t act like this. It doesn’t include the WordPress header though.
In reply to: Listing forumsHow are you including a sidebar in your theme, and what format do you want the list of forums in? Just a list of forum names, parents only, hierarchical, with post counts, etc? How much space do you have?
In reply to: Cannot get bbpress 1.0 + WPMU 2.6 installedI really have no idea, but I thought I would toss this out there:
[~]$ nslookup brynmawr.edu
Server: 172.19.254.4
Address: 172.19.254.4#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: brynmawr.edu
Address: 165.106.1.8
[~]$ nslookup forums.brynmawr.edu
Server: 172.19.254.4
Address: 172.19.254.4#53
Non-authoritative answer:
forums.brynmawr.edu canonical name = blog-serv.brynmawr.edu.
Name: blog-serv.brynmawr.edu
Address: 165.106.1.51
Then I remembered this post:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installation-to-sub-domain-error-400#post-65
If you search these forums for subdomain and wpmu, you might find something useful. I don’t use WPMU or subdomains, so I am just guessing here.
In reply to: Subforums of needed forumSubforums are built in. Can you please explain more what you’re trying to do?
In reply to: can you hold topics for Admin to approve?In reply to: Blank ScreenHave you tried clearing your cookies? Since you changed the keys for WordPress and bbPress, the cookies will be different and your old ones might be fouling things up.
You can also contact me off list and I might be able to help you.
In reply to: Blank ScreenIf you used the WordPress secret key generator API to create the keys for WordPress and are using those keys for bbPress, it’s entirely possible the key works fine in WordPress but not bbPress.

In reply to: Blank ScreenThe problem with editing your bb-config.php and posting it here is that you likely edited out anything in a password or secret key that is causing you a problem. So posting the edited version is mostly useless.
You use the
php -l bb-config.phpfrom a Linux command line. The edited version you posted here checks out fine, but I suspect your live, unedited version does not.In reply to: Akismet spam false positivesDitto on the bozo feature. Never did understand that or get any benefit from it. At least it’s a plugin now where you can disable it. And the Human Test plugin works remarkably well in the arms race against preventing spammers from registering.
In reply to: Blank ScreenSounds like you have a syntax error in the secret keys or cookie path that is creating trouble for bbPress creating the cookies. Line 188 of pluggable.php (in the 0.9.0.2 release, anyway) looks like this:
setcookie($bb->authcookie, $cookie, $expire, $bb->cookiepath, $bb->cookiedomain);Can you post your bb-config.php with as little editing as possible? There’s probably something wrong in that file.
Alternatively, check bb-config.php with the php command:
[~pimpforum ] php -l bb-config.php
No syntax errors detected in bb-config.phpThat’s an L, like php -L, but lowercase, in the command.
In reply to: new admin cant see forumsDoes the original keymaster see things normally? Only new admins/moderators have this problem? And it’s only new forums that were created after install that new admins can’t see?
In reply to: Anonymos posting – But only in DEFINED forums !So, there will only be one forum that allows anonymous posting?
Sounds like _ck_ was looking for the same thing:

In reply to: Mass email functionPHP List interface/plugin is a good idea.
In reply to: “Demo site” – wordpress integrations problemI see you’re running WordPress 2.6.1. What version bbPress did you install? I think I asked that before but I must have missed the answer. The alpha branch of bbPress is compatible with WordPress 2.6.* but the 0.9 branch is not.
In reply to: plugins on as default for users?I think each plugin is going to be different. In general though, if the plugin needs to be activated by a user by changing a setting, I don’t know how you could modify the plugin to default to already on.
I think it will be different for each plugin though. I don’t use any of those plugins, so I’m not sure. If you post the URL for each plugin, maybe someone can look at the code and see if it’s possible to default them to active for everyone.
In reply to: bbpress 1.0 + wordpress mu 2.6 on separate serversYou can do it that way, but if you are getting a database connection error, there is something wrong with your database connection details.
I use one server for the database and one for the web server, so I know it will work. Sounds like you just haven’t figured out the proper connection details.
Can you connect to the database box from a linux command line?
In reply to: can you change user names?They have to re-register under a new name. Editing the username is not possible normally. You can do it with direct access to the database, but it’s not possible from the user’s perspective.
In reply to: letter limit on user names“Size” is the display width of the field in characters.
“Maxlength” prevents you from typing in more than that many characters. The browser honors that and prevents more than that characters from being entered in the field. There are ways around this, but if you’re not in a hostile environment, and it’s all people from your organization, then lowering the maxlength just serves as a reminder to use a shorter name.
In reply to: “Demo site” – wordpress integrations problemWhat happens when you try to log in? The log in fails, or you are redirected to the form, or you get some sort of error message?
