    You can also add

    overflow: hidden;

     

    to the .threadauthor section of your CSS. That just hides any portion of their username that is wider than the space in your template. This forum template is like that.

    So they’re using their email address as their username? That seems like a bad idea from a spam perspective (i.e. posting it means they might get more spam.)

    Making things wider is going to be done in the style.css file. You would find the div that you want to make wider, then just increase the width. You would have to make the wrapper div wider to enable everything inside it to be wider. Once that wrapper is wider, just make the divs inside wider, or put more padding or margin in there to space things apart.

    It’s all in the style.css of your theme though.

    Have you tried disabling any plugins as suggested? This is most likely being caused by a plugin. Try disabling plugins one at a time until you see the problem has gone away.

    Looks like you have not set up permalinks. Please try “none” in the permalinks setting, and see if the forum works. Then, if it does, go ahead and configure your .htaccess to allow permalinks.

    Please post a link to your site. And the version of WordPress and bbPress.

    Sounds like something built into the theme. Can you try the default theme and see what happens?

    If you are using an Apache webserver, you can use .htaccess with basic auth to require people to enter a password before they ever see the forum installation.

    Not sure how to do it on a Windows server.

    That’s a pretty cool trick. (honestly, no idea why it’s happening.)

    Are you using any plugins that could be causing that? What plugins are installed?

    Can you post a screenshot of the view a keymaster sees? Is the screen completely blank, or is the installation there but no from the database being displayed?

    Here is another place that will generate random passwords and has the option to include just alphanumeric characters, upper and lower or just all upper.

    There is no plugin like that that I know of.

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    Those versions are compatible, so I don’t think that is the cause of your problem.

    Does the table it is complaining about, ‘addiva_bbpress.wp_users’ actually exist, or no?

    Joel, did you do a diff on the two different directories to see what might have changed?

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    Yes, bbsync is the closest to this right now. I imagine you could get a lot of ideas looking at that plugin.

    If you want to prevent any tags from being displayed or for any reference to tags being displayed, I think it is as simple as just modifying your theme to not show any of the tag stuff. Is there something I’m missing?

    All the core tag functions would still be there, but no one would ever see them or use them.

    I found 40 places in the kakumei template where the word “tag” or “Tag” is mentioned. Why couldn’t you just edit those out to prevent anyone ever seeing anything related to a tag? It’s a lot of work, maybe, but it’s not hard or complicated work.

    Someone please fill me in if I am missing something.

    What version bbPress and WordPress are you using?

    In reply to: Tags

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    Just take the display of the tags out of your theme/template files. Find the pages that display tags, then remove the code that displays it.

    As far as not allowing people to add tags, I think you could just do the same thing: eliminate the form fields that are displayed where people can enter their tags.

    Do you have access to server error logs where you could possibly see what’s being logged when you try to activate a plugin?

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    I am using r1636 which is what alpha was when I installed it. Seems odd to me that the 1.0-alpha-1 tag would now be r1651, but maybe I just don’t understand subversion tags.

    Why not use the earlier release? Did you need something specific in r1651?

    Backticks for code go around anything at all, and make it a monospaced font, like where you have blockquote above. If you want to use the html <blockquote> just type [blockquote] without any backticks (use angled brackets rather than the brackets I used to make sure it did not render.) I think you did something like backticks around the HTML for [blockquote] which is not necessary. Just use HTML where you need it and then use backticks anywhere where you want to show the actual HTML, not have it be rendered.

    I asked only because I was wondering what you expected to see and maybe I could try the same plugin.

    I installed the BB Attachments plugin

    https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/

    Activated it and was able to add attachments. So, either you have a different problem with all your plugins in your installation or the plugins you are trying to use aren’t compatible with the alpha release, or maybe they are being activated and they are mostly invisible (like Akismet.) BB Attachments is a good one because you can see if it’s working when you go to make a new post.

    Activating Akismet, BTW, gives me a new admin submenu called “Akismet Configuration:.

    Which plugin are you talking about?

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    Not sure what you mean. Looks OK to me.
