In reply to: bbPress 1.0.2 unusable?
Did you install via Subversion or download the packaged 1.0.2 release?
The package should have included the old version of BackPress, but I never install from the package. I am running the trunk version r2458. But that’s an upgrade as well, not a fresh installation.
Thanks for bringing it up.
I think the toolbar button is designed to let you insert a link to an image in your post, but the image already has to be online somewhere. The BB WYSIWYG plugin doesn’t handle uploading or storing images. It just modifies your post.
So, they work in different ways. If you used the BB WYSIWYG editor and the Allow Images plugin together, AND the image was online somewhere already ( like this http://www.google.com/images/nav_logo8.png )then you would be able to use the toolbar button. But if the image is not online yet and you want to store images for your users, then I think bbPress Attachments is the way to go.

If you think this is a problem with the bbPress core, please open a ticket and submit a patch at https://trac.bbpress.org/
You can log in there with a WordPress.org account if you have one.
In reply to: How to Add Link to Return to Blog?You create the link in HTML and put it in the current template’s header.php file. Where you put it there and how it’s formatted is up to you.
I added one to the header of this 0.9 bbPress forum a long time ago:
http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/
You need to edit the header.php template file to display a link at the top of your page.
In reply to: Block Specific usernames listThis was the plugin, but it was for prior versions. No idea if it still works:
In reply to: Block Specific usernames listYou could register them all yourself, then no one else could use them.
There used to be a plugin to mass create users from the admin. That would save some time.
In reply to: Whats the best spambot plugin?I don’t question your desire to get rid of them (or prevent the registrations in the first place) I just wonder what the spammers get out of registering and never using the account.
In reply to: Whats the best spambot plugin?I always wondered about this: if the spammer never posts, why does it matter if they are registered? Do they eventually come back and post spam, or does the link in their profile give them enough benefit? Or, do they use a fake email so they never get the password and thus never post (making their registration a half failed attempt at posting spam on your forum)?
There used to be a plugin to delete users that were registered for so long who never posted (so, mass deleting inactive users.)
There is also an “allow images” plugin, but that requires you have the image already hosted somewhere before it can be used in a post.
In reply to: Avatar file permission problemYou should contact your host or sys admin to configure permissions permanently for that directory. It’s not a bbPress issue but a host configuration issue.
In reply to: Replace the mailing list with a forumNot being an apologist for the lack of “subscribe to topic” here, but you can always create your own RSS to email subscriptions with either Feedblitz or Feedburner.
There is an RSS feed for this forum:
https://bbpress.org/forums/rss/forum/requests-and-feedback
Or this topic:
https://bbpress.org/forums/rss/topic/replace-the-mailing-list-with-a-forum
And there are additional RSS feeds throughout (recent topics and recent posts.) If you really want the information pushed to you, so you don’t have to check back, there are ways to make it happen.
Of course, subscribe to topic is in trunk now, but seems to be missing from this bbpress.org theme (in my view anyway, and possibly yours as well.)
In reply to: Kakumei Black themeOr do you mean upload a theme here, for distribution and use by others? There is no theme repository here, unlike WordPress.org.
You can post a link to the download and others will pick up on that and probably mirror it elsewhere.
In reply to: Kakumei Black themeI don’t see subscribe to topic here either. It’s supposed to be near the tags according to kevinjohngallagher, but I don’t see it when I am logged in.
What is your question about themes? You upload with FTP or SCP to your bbPress installation, into a folder called my-templates. Be sure the my-templates folder has 755 permissions, then your new theme folder has 755 permissions. And be sure it’s not inside ANOTHER folder. So, it should be like this:
bb-config.php
my-templates/
----bbpressblack/
style.css (with your header)Should not be like this:
bb-config.php
my-templates/
----bbpressblack/
bbpressblack/
style.css (with your header)I don’t think that would work
In reply to: language switcher not workingThat’s not an error, it’s just a warning. If you turn off the display of warnings, does the plugin work?
If not, what version of bbPress are you using, what version of the plugin, and have you tried contacting the plugin author?
In reply to: No plugins are showing in my listSo long as your URL is not using the forum installation that was at http://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/ (maybe it’s http://www.example.com/bbpress/ ?) than you can safely delete the files. You might want to look at the bb-config.php and see what the database settings and see if you’re using another database as well, or if you are somehow using the same database and tables.
In reply to: Unable to post with bbpress 1.0.2Why such an old version of WordPress?
In reply to: No plugins are showing in my listThat’s the wrong location for the files. They should not be in the WordPress plugins folder. I imagine if you don’t try and activate it as a WordPress plugin from there, the worst that happens is you have to access your forum at
http://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/
which just looks silly. I think it would work though.
I would just make sure that bbpress folder and my-plugins folder inside that have 755 permissions.
What plugins did you install that you cannot see?
And why did you have to create the my-plugins directory? Wasn’t it there when you installed bbPress?
Right, I figured it was however they are getting the bbPress information into WordPress for the front page at https://bbpress.org/
In reply to: Bug on bbPress.org forum?Those were posts that were either marked as deleted, or marked as spam. Back when that was done, deleting the only post on a topic didn’t delete the topic, it broke it. I just deleted the topics so it should be OK now. Let me know if you find more.
In reply to: Whoa! (bbPress.org 2.0 is live)Not sure who is working on it, if anyone, but it’s not me.
In reply to: WordPress integration problemsIf you don’t want a table prefix, I suppose you could go into the bbPress code and eliminate all the references to the WordPress table prefix in the installer (and possibly elsewhere.)
It would be much easier to rename the WordPress tables and use a table prefix than hack the bbPress code. You tried once and did not have a good result. Maybe you need to try again and figure out where it went wrong if you really want integration between bbPress and WordPress. Either way, it’s going to require some work on your part due to a decision you made earlier to eliminate the WordPress table prefix.
In reply to: Installation questionbbPress is not a plugin for WordPress (unlike BuddyPress, which IS a WordPress plugin, and includes forums that are based on bbPress.)
You install bbPress along side WordPress (or by itself even, if you want) but it does not become part of your WordPress installation like a plugin.

In reply to: bbPress SecurityI think it would probably work if you changed the user check to reflect bbPress users and not WordPress users and levels.
_ck_ posted something similar a while back on the WordPress.org trac site about blocking long query strings. Maybe she will post here about this.

In reply to: Whoa! (bbPress.org 2.0 is live)You must have summoned Westi somehow.
