In reply to: WordPress Home page upstaging main post1s page
To get quicker help, you should post your URL.
It might be something in the wp-admin control panel, under settings > general. The Blog address or WordPress address. Or, maybe you overwrote a file that was doing the redirection. Or possibly changed the .htaccess file. Something like that.
Please contact me off list with the contact methods listed on the site in my profile.
In reply to: Help! I renamed my bbpress file directory name…dpeeples – I don’t think it matters. I put it right after the secret key line and it worked fine.
In reply to: Change url from bbpress to forum?Read this:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/help-i-renamed-my-bbpress-file-directory-name
This topic is so similar, I actually thought it was the other one.
In reply to: Change Username Name?Just register again. I don’t think you can change the username without access to the database. If you’re talking about your own forum and have access to the database, you can edit the username directly.
In reply to: Help! I renamed my bbpress file directory name…I just tried this same thing to see if I could recreate the problem. I renamed my bbpress folder, then navigated to the new URL. The forum came up. I tried to log in; I was redirected to the OLD url and got a WordPress 404 page since there is no page there.
Then, I added the line that _ck_ recommended in bb-config.php:
$bb->uri = ‘http://your-domain-name.com/forum-path/’;
And I navigated to the new URL again. The forum came up. Then I tried to log in, and I logged in fine. In the admin, in the settings tab, the new URL is there (the one I entered in the bb-config.php, per _ck_’s suggestion.)
If this was not your experience, maybe you have a problem with permalinks or mod_rewrite rules. Try turning permalinks off and navigating to the forum again.
p.s. I didn’t do anything with the cookies, and I do not have an integrated installation. Just a WordPress site with a forum in a sub-directory.
In reply to: www.mastercleanse.co.za/forumVery nice. The footer disclaimer in the forum is a bit small, even for small print. This is with FF3 on Windows XP.
In reply to: Possible way to upload image to postNothing strange in the filename, not even a space. Just a one word filename. I will test again with the new version to see if I can recreate it. It only happened that one time, and that was after the BMP image upload problem.
In reply to: Install errorI’m not really sure why, but I can guess. Do you have a file in bb-includes called compat.php?
/bb-includes/compat.phpIn that file, line 10 says “if this function does not exist, create it.” That PHP function is available in newer PHP versions only (greater than or equal to 5.1.2). So, for compatibility, if the function is not available on your server, bbPress creates it in compat.php.
Do you have that file, and does line 10 look like this?
if ( ! function_exists('hash_hmac') ):What bbPress version did you install, if it’s not the latest 0.9.0.2 release? Are you certain all the files were uploaded properly?
In reply to: Possible way to upload image to postIIRC, I uploaded the BMP and got the denied mime. Then, at a totally separate time when uploading a PNG I got the error described here.
I never tried to upload more than one image at a time.
I would totally disallow bitmaps as well, since they’re really not designed for the web. I was thrown off by this note from the saying they’re allowed:
allowed uploads: bmp (500 KB), doc (500 KB), gif (500 KB), gz (500 KB), jpeg (500 KB),
jpg (500 KB), pdf (500 KB), png (500 KB), txt (500 KB), xls (500 KB), zip (500 KB)This is the last I heard about that:

In reply to: header design item positioning changed overnight!Ross, maybe this will point you in the right direction:
http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/1048-padded-link-targets-for-better-mousing
If not, I can work on it a little later. Basically, you need to add some padding to the link inside the nav bar.
For me though, the links worked identically on IE7 and FF3. Not sure what your experience was.
In reply to: So, why can’t I view my own profileOn this forum, to view your profile, just click this link:
https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/stereotruth
The title under your user name is a link to your profile. You have to be logged in for this to work.
You need to log in at least once with the password that was sent to you. After that, in your profile, you can click the “Edit” tab and then enter a new password, something you can remember more easily.
What happens, after you’re logged in, when you click on the “Member” link under your username?
In reply to: Rewrite url ProblemTo determine if it’s your host configuration, do this. Log in to your forum as keymaster, go to Settings > General, and under “Pretty Permalink Type”, choose the first option None.
http://www.oltrelebarriere.net/forum3/bb-admin/options-general.php
Then try your forum again. I bet it will work which points to a problem with your host and the rewrite rules you’re trying to use in .htaccess.
In reply to: Confusion about sharing databasesYou only need to share databases to have integrated user logins. If you just installed WordPress, it’s probably 2.6, which is not compatible with bbPress at the moment, so you do not want to attempt this right now anyway.
The difference is, when you share a database, is that bbPress will use the wp_user and wp_user_meta tables for it’s users, rather than creating bb_user and bb_user_meta tables.
If you don’t care about logging in in bbPress and being logged in in WordPress, and vice versa, then you don’t need to shared the tables.
If you don’t do an integrated installation (sharing of the wp_users and wp_user_meta tables), then you can just use a different table prefix (by default WordPress uses wp_ and bbPress uses bb_) in the same database and not worry about a thing.
This is the best documentation I know of:
https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/
What have you done so far? Have you added the include bbpress line in wp-config.php? If so, please post your error message. Need more information to be able to help you.
In reply to: header design item positioning changed overnight!Ross, I created a little slice of a navbar up top, and put the link over to the right in it. Here’s how I did it:
style.css:
#navbar {
background: #A9A9A9;
height: 1.5em;
text-align: right;
font-size: 1.2em;
}header.php:
<div id="navbar">
<a href="http://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/" title="Return to the ASHB website home page">ASHB Home</a>
</div>Put that in the header right after the end of the login form and right before the end of the header div. That will give you a little slice up top in which to link to the main website. You can change the color, the height of the bar and the font size.
I don’t know why the button is tucked in so close in IE (not FF), but it seems like the negative positioning thing is probably fraught with problems, so I would avoid it.
You could also put your button to return to the main website in this nav bar, but you’d have to make it taller.
In reply to: Secret KeyJust integrated logins are broken, as far as I know. If your site is not integrated, I doubt you would see any problems at all.
In reply to: Open Links in new windowWhat you are asking for is best done with a plugin as described. I’m not sure which core files would need to be modified and I wouldn’t recommend that anyway. What is the opposition to using a plugin?
If you want to call bbPress functions from WordPress, you need to include bbPress in WordPress. It’s described here for including WordPress inside bbPress. You would do the opposite to include bbPress in WordPress (make the changes to wp-config.php and
require_once('path/to/bb-load.php')In reply to: bb-config error on installationMy guess is you have a weird character in the secret key (like a single or double quote) that is confusing the next line in bb-config.php. Check for that in your secret key. Maybe post the secret key here, but just swap a couple numbers or letters around before posting it (don’t change anything but a-z or 0-9: leave all the other weird ones in there.)
In reply to: Secret KeybbPress is not currently compatible with WordPress 2.6 for integrated installations:

In reply to: header design item positioning changed overnight!Can you create an image showing exactly where in the header you want the button? You can just scribble on one of these screenshots, showing where you want the button to be. I am unclear on what the correct position for the button is.
Here are two screenshots, IE7 and FF3. Is either correct?
I think putting that button outside the header by using a negative margin is a bad thing to do. It also seems to me that a button is probably not a very ‘usable’ solution to return to the home page of the website. Why not a text link in the header, or in the footer?
If you are set on the button hanging off to the left of the forum in the header, then please describe which of the two screenshots is closer to or exactly what you want.
In reply to: WordPress + bbPress Integration 101The problem I think is with integrated logins. You can’t log in on the bbPress side and be logged in on the WordPress side, or vice versa. If your experience is different, please tell about it.
Sounds like you are using bbSync which is for something totally different: no cookies required to accomplish that.
Thanks
