In reply to: bbPress 1.0 alpha looks interesting
I just installed r1637 as a test. Installation went well. I can’t believe they added the search by default!
I will test a little more and post issues to trac.
In reply to: Merge registration pagesCould you do this (hidden form field named “re” with the value of the URL to redirect to after submitting the form):

In reply to: I think I broke my blogIf it’s this site http://famousbeats.net/ it’s 2.5.1:
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.5.1" />In reply to: Sitemap generatorI have not seen the author around in a while. I would say if it’s not your work, you should not upload it to the extend section. I didn’t see it there already. Of course, someone could look at this plugin and extend it. It’s GPL2 licensed.
There was a problem with the plugin creating a site map when there are lots of posts; it slowed down posting. Maybe it could be fixed to allow creation of the sitemap via cron or via a GET request, rather than randomly when a post is marked favorite. There was also a problem with certain characters not being encoded in the URL if you’re not using permalinks.
Lots of work could be done to extend and improve the plugin, then it could be released and posted to the bbPress extend/plugins section.
In reply to: WordPress Home page upstaging main post1s pageTurns out the main index.php WordPress template had been overwritten with a static page, and that was being served instead of templated content being served from the database. It had nothing to do with bbPress integration.
In reply to: installation of bbpressThe intended URL is where you expect to access the forum on the internet. Maybe this would be a good place for it:
http://affluentdiva.com/forums/
The way you have the folders now, it would be this:
http://affluentdiva.com/bbpress2008/bbpress/ which looks a little silly. You don’t need that bbpress2008 folder there. And maybe you don’t want the other folder to be called bbpress. What if you change forum software in the future? Better to use forum or forums instead.
In reply to: installation problem, no theme or login!I don’t think iframes work very will with bbPress. Are you trying to put the forum in an iframe?
<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0" frameborder="no" framespacing="0">
<frame name="site" src="http://hlvdubs.iamanerd.org.uk/forum" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresize scrolling="auto">
<noframes>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>I think this is part or all of the problem. Don’t try to access bbPress from an iframe. You’ve got two different domains going on there.
In reply to: Sitemap generatorThere is a sitemap plugin for bbPress:
http://boakes.org/download/bbpress_sitemap.txt
This is old and I can’t find a link to it on the author’s site any more, but there it is.
In reply to: I think I broke my blogDid this just happen all of the sudden, or did you upgrade or make some sort of change that would cause this?
In reply to: The English Guy Web Design ForumsVery nice integration of the theme.
I noticed you are using WordPress 2.6. If someone logs in to WordPress or bbPress, are they logged in on the other (either bbPress or WordPress)? That is the level of integration most people are looking for, in addition to theme integration, and the latest word was that integration with WordPress 2.6 does not work. How did you do it?
In reply to: installation problem, no theme or login!Looks like you’re working on it? There is nothing at /forum right now.
Usually when you have no theme, it’s due to a path problem in your configuration. If you look at the source of a page that is displayed with no style, check the path to the style.css and see if that URL is actually valid and a stylesheet is actually present there.
If you can’t log in, we need more information. I would start with no permalinks, rather than slugs or true, to be sure that the forum works. Then set up permalinks with your .htaccess file. Start simple and work your way up.
In reply to: Google Analytics for bbPressYou don’t really need a plugin to install Google Analytics in your bbPress forum. Just paste the code from Google Analytics right before the closing </body> tag in your theme’s footer.php. No plugin required. I never understood the need for Analytics plugins for WordPress either. Editing a template file is pretty basic.
In reply to: Installation problem with bbPressOK, please let us know if you need more help.
In reply to: WordPress Home page upstaging main post1s pageI’ve offered all I can remotely. Can you contact me (find contact details in my profile here) and I can try to help by logging in and looking around?
Thanks
In reply to: This username does not existSorry, fresh out of ideas after that. I suspect that bbPress needs to be reinstalled after downgrading WordPress, but I don’t know why that failed for you.
In reply to: This username does not existDoes bbPress need to be ‘reinstalled’ after going backwards to WordPress 2.5.1? Like, if the bbPress installation made changes to the database with WordPress 2.6, then you rolled back to WordPress 2.5.1, you would lose the changes that bbPress made to the wp_users and wp_usermeta table, right? Would you need to reintegrate with the WordPress 2.5.1 database?
In reply to: Integration with CakePHP existing user systemI suspect you could do it. Of all the forum software I have used, it’s easiest to get ‘under the hood’ of bbPress and make the changes you need. I have no idea how to start, but I bet it’s possible with bbPress.
In reply to: WordPress Home page upstaging main post1s pageSo, http://www.addiva.net is OK, and later, when people type in http://www.addiva.net you will direct them to http://www.addiva.net/blog/home ?
Sounds like a configuration issue in WordPress. There is an option to choose what is displayed on the front page (Settings > Reading). you can select your latest posts or a static page.
Yes, the default address for the blog’s main page is index.php, and what is shown there is what I described changing above. Check those options and post back if it’s not what you expect to see based on what is configured.
In reply to: Installation problem with bbPressHow about the php_mysql.dll, not just php_mysqli.dll? It seems to be saying it’s missing the mysql extension but you’ve posted only that you have enabled mysqli.
Also, be sure to restart the web server after making a configuration change.
In reply to: A few questionsMany people have posted about phpBB. Just click the tag you added phpBB and you’ll see lots of discussion.
Here are a couple:

RE: public, private and superprivate forums:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/
That enables you to hide forums based on roles.
In reply to: This username does not existI have no idea why it’s happening, but how about trying some troubleshooting steps.
Can you create a new user and log in with that?
Do you have access to the database with a tool like phpMyAdmin where you can look at the tables and see if the bb_users or wp_users tables are there, and if the user actually does exist?
In reply to: Moderator New Post Notification error?Have you tried disabling the plugin to see if the problem persists?
Do you actually have a table called bb_users in the forums database, or are you using the wp_users table and an integrated installation?
Also, I see that plugin says compatible up to 0.8.3. If you’re using the latest 0.9.0.2, you might want to post your issue on that plugin page or try to contact the plugin author.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/moderator-new-post-notification/
Or maybe read through the comments on that plugin page and see how others resolved the same problem.

In reply to: WordPress Home page upstaging main post1s pageSo, there used to be a site that is not WordPress at http://www.addiva.net/ ?
If you log into the file manager for your host (ssh, ftp, control panel, whatever) do you see a file in the root that would be served for this URL http://www.addiva.net/ ? And then, at that level, is there a blog folder that holds all your WordPress files?
What is happening though is not what I understood from your first post. Everything that comes up, at either URL, looks like WordPress to me. You said “the home page we’ve set up comes up instead” when you try to access http://www.addiva.net/blog/ . What do you expect when visiting the URL http://www.addiva.net/ ?
