In reply to: Theme – Modding Kakumei – Thread Zone Error
Are you looking to make the content area at least as tall as the avatar, assuming the poster did not write a lot of text?

In reply to: Stupid Question, need simple answerWith no theme editor, you need to edit the files locally then upload them, just like you uploaded the complete bbPress installation when you started. You need an FTP program or a file manager with your host (maybe there is one in the control panel.)
Since you can’t edit the files with a theme editor, you will need to edit them on your computer then upload them.
The files you want to look at are all located in /bb-templates/{theme name}/ – those files are where you will make your edits. If you can find that we can go from there.
In reply to: Theme – Modding Kakumei – Thread Zone ErrorI can see the signature just fine in this topic:
http://www.redcarpe.coresp.com/interpol/forum/topic.php?id=3
That appears to be the only forum/topic with any posts.
In reply to: Theme – Modding Kakumei – Thread Zone ErrorI think it’s related to the amount of text in the reply. When you have a lot of text, it looks fine. Small amount of text, the avatar messes things up.
Can you make new posts with lots of text in them and see if they look OK? You need to compare the same amount of content before and after the CSS changes.
Also, post your URL so people might have a chance at finding the problem for you.
In reply to: Redirect Loop after installationWhat is the exact message shown when the installation fails? Does anyone have the exact wording? I’m trying to look through the installation to see where the failure occurs.
I know if will be hard to go back and get the message now since you are stuck in a loop.
If deleting the directory doesn’t work, the installer must be checking for the presence of *something* in the database, right?
singlezhan: Please start a new thread. Sounds like you have something else going on.
In reply to: Redirect Loop after installationIn reply to: standard theme modifications! css moron here!I don’t even see a footer on screen in FF3 or IE7. Did you already fix it?
In reply to: “Demo site” – wordpress integrations problemWell, that text being displayed won’t have any effect on logging in. It’s not a conditional, it’s just printing out the text. You can safely remove that and it won’t appear onscreen.
So that text was a red herring.
Now, ignoring the Regisration text, what problem are you having logging in?
In reply to: Redirect Loop after installationPlease post your URL.
In reply to: how to include wordpress sidebar.php file in forumsTo use WordPress functions inside bbPress, you need to do this:
https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#functions (the Functions section at the bottom of that page). Be sure that include line is at the top of bb-config.php: right after the <?php is a good place for it.
That will allow you to use WordPress functions in a bbPress page (like
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>)Then, you need to include that function call in a bbPress template file (or files) where you want it to appear. You are responsible for making sure there’s room in the template for your sidebar.
In reply to: password protection possible for bbPress forums?Well – you can have specific forums restricted to certain users right now with a plugin. It’s easier than using .htaccess.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/
That’s not what you asked initially though.
require a password before someone can register and see the forum
Both are possible, the first request just doesn’t make any sense unless there will be a company wide memo with the username and password on it. If it’s truly for internal use only, just put it on an intranet rather than the Internet, or use .htaccess to restrict by IP address rather than passwords. If you have a fixed range of IP addresses, you could allow only those to access the bbPress forum.
You can do both.
What sort of error are you seeing? It’s hard to help resolve an issue as vague as “just errors out.” The error messages might be important. Please offer more detail.
In reply to: Akismet spam false positivesNot as far as I know. Akismet is sort of a “black box” so they do not release what triggers being marked as a spammer. If they did, the spammers could work around that.
Some people turn Akismet off and deal with the spam rather than deal with the false positives.
In reply to: Stupid Question, need simple answerAdding a link back to you blog home page was discussed here recently:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-add-custom-nav-bar-to-theme
For editing your theme, it’s not like WordPress. You can’t edit the stylesheet online. You would need to edit it locally then upload the changes.
In reply to: password protection possible for bbPress forums?It’s not difficult on a Linux server. It looks more complicated than it is.
I am wondering how you are going to get the authorized user the password to the forum area, so they can create their accounts?
In reply to: User email address encroaching on post contentYes, that would hide it. That is saying “if anything doesn’t fit into this div, hide the overflow.” So, that would work as well.
In reply to: WordPress + bbPress Integration 101Good point. If I could clarify the instructions, I would. We’ll leave the information here 1) for others to see and 2) so the chiefs can see the difficulty some are having and clarify the instructions for all.
Thanks.
In reply to: WordPress + bbPress Integration 101This is what it is supposed to mean:
*one users table in the DB and one login (you write
name and password once, and you are logged in the places)
Seems lots of people lately are having trouble with that. They idea behind integration is that you can log into either bbPress or WordPress, and you’ll be logged in on the other side. The two installations appear “integrated”, at least from a user login perspective.
In reply to: “Demo site” – wordpress integrations problemDid you look through all your files for that word? If it’s not in the files, then it’s encoded in the files (some WordPress themes have that base 64 encoded crap in the theme) or it’s coming from somewhere else, right?
I would try to find out where it’s coming from so you can figure out how to remove it.
In reply to: “Demo site” – wordpress integrations problemThat’s weird. I found a few places on the net where that text is visible, someone using the peacemaker theme from refueled.net. I can’t find that text in the theme though or in the mistylook WordPress theme. Maybe the version you installed is different than the current one available for download.
I would grep through all the files in your web space and see if the work “Regisration” exists. If it does, then it’s coming from something installed on the server. If that word does not exist, then that’s coming from a plugin or something else installed on your server. Sometimes plugins are tied to certain domains, and having it on another domain will not work, and you might get a message like this.
Please check all your files for that very unique “Regisration” word.
In reply to: Redirected from admin interfaceSounds like the user you are logging in as doesn’t have admin or keymaster privileges. If the admin link is not there once you are logged in, then you don’t have permission to do that.
Try this:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/deleted-admin-in-wordpress-now-no-keymaster-in-bbpress#post-18241
In reply to: “Demo site” – wordpress integrations problemYou need to put that include line at the very top of bb-config.php, right after
<?php. What happens if you do that?In reply to: Redirected from admin interfaceI don’t ever try to access bb-admin directly. If you enter your login details on the front page, do you get logged in, or does that redirect you as well?
Try logging in on the front page and see what happens.
In reply to: WordPress + bbPress Integration 101To install in the same database, you just specify that database’s connection details in bb-config.php. The important thing is to be sure you use a different table prefix for the bbPress installation. By default, it’s bb_ for bbPress and for wp_ for WordPress. Use different table prefixes and you can install as many applications into one database as you want. Just keep the table prefixes unique.
To uninstall, yes, just delete the directory with bbPress in it, then drop the bbPress tables from the database. DO NOT delete the database since you have WordPress in that database as well, right?
You’re probably overthinking it. Using the same database is how the bbPress directions are written now; I think it’s assumed. The key is to just keep the table prefixes unique and you can put as much stuff in one database as you want.
