    laran: that is the proper behaviour for published and unpublished draft or future posts in WordPress. When you are logged in, you can view them. When you are not logged in, you will get a 404 if you try to view one of those pages you could previously view.

    If it possible you gave yourself more power when resetting the permissions? If you had author or contributor status in WordPress before, and now you have editor or administrator, it’s possible you are seeing things now that you could not see before.

    But, in my experience, that’s the way WordPress works. If you are logged in and have permission, and the URL, you can view unpublished posts. When you are not logged in, you can’t, by design.

    Good luck.

    I think you want bbSync, at least to start:

    I would say this is a mod_rewrite and permalink issue. If it was working before, then something changed with the host, maybe the .htaccess file in the forum directory, or the parent one. But, all you need to do to get around it, for now, is turn off the permalinks, to false.

    This URL works fine for a second:

    http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/forum/forum.php?id=2

    Then it redirects to a permalink URL:

    http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/forum/forum/motor-racing-discussion

    Maybe you moved the forum recently and did not update the permalink structure?

    I’ve never had that problem. Can you post a link to your forum, so we can register, then see what happens when we try to log in?

    Thanks.

    The getmypid function being disabled has been discussed before. Since it’s used to generate a random state, you can safely remove (I think) that function call and still be able to continue. You just lose the pid being concatenated with the other number when generating the random state.

    This is the problem right here:

    <?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>

    bloginfo is a WordPress function, but you’re in bbPress. Try hard coding it like this <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> as it is in the default theme, and I think you will find that it works.

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    Looks like this is hard coded into the theme’s header.php:

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

    So, unless that line was edited in some improper or invalid way, I can’t see what would case that line to be truncated after content=".

    Can you confirm or post that line from your active theme’s header.php?

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    Well,

    The next thing that is supposed to come up, I think, is this:

    text/html; charset=utf-8

    Maybe whatever is providing that has an error and is causing this problem.

    Are you using a stock theme, and if not, does changing it back to stock fix this error? My guess is this is something in the template file, or the config.

    Are you using a different language file? (I’m guessing not, based on the blog.)

    Or, is it possible not everything was uploaded properly? Some things I would expect to be in that directory are not present when accessed directly by URL. Can you confirm that a new bbPress 0.9.0.2 archive and your server have the same exact files?

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    Can you post a link to your forum? Sounds like the server is not parsing php files or something was edited in a php file causing this, or maybe it’s a plugin or template issue. Please post a URL to your forum if possible.

    Alternatively, you can switch to a stock theme if you’re not using the stock one now and deactivate your plugins and see if that affects anything.

    For the first error, I think in 0.8.3.1 it is looking for an underscore plugin, but you have none in the plugin folder any more, and it errors out.

    This is line 169 from bb-settings.php:

    foreach ( glob(BBPLUGINDIR . '_*.php') as $_plugin )

    I would create a blank php file called _nothing.php (nothing in the file at all) and put that in your plugin directory. The name of the file does not matter, except it needs to begin with an underscore. The contents of the file don’t matter either. We just want something for bbPress to see in that directory so it does not fail. That should prevent the first error. I think it will actually take care of the second error as well. It’s also related to having no underscore plugins in the plugin directory.

    Thanks for posting your bbPress versions: it was invaluable in finding the right line numbers and relevant code.

    It does sound like it’s a filter in bbPress then, and TinyMCE is not at fault. Not sure where that happens in bbPresss, but I would think looking at the “Admin can post anything” plugin might offer some clues.

    In reply to: color attribute

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    I think you might have better luck at the TinyMCE forum. It’s not a bbPress problem, (unless it’s a filter stripping out the tags) but something TinyMCE is doing with your span tags.

    http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/

    I suspect though that it’s got to do with the rules for span elements. The XHTML ruleset allows style but I’m not sure why it strips out the color. Or, are you filtering this through something in bbPress that would strip that out? (in WordPress, I think kses handles that.) Can you post spans with a color style as administrator? How about the ‘admin can post anything’ plugin?

    https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-can-post-anything/

    If the admin can post the <span style="color: #ff0000;">, WYSIWYG or not, then it’s likely a filter in bbPress that is stripping that code out.

    Are you using any plugins? That column is not in my 0.9.0.2 installation either. Maybe it’s trying to insert into the wp_posts table; there is a post_title field in that table.

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    It would be a good idea to remove the plugins and retest. Deciding how big an issue it is is up to you.

    It is true, no disclaimer or terms of use are included with bbPress. I created one and link to it on the confirmation after registering, and also include the link in the registration email.

    Did you try it? Are you getting any errors?

    How about using an RSS widget in WordPress and importing the latest discussions feed URL there?

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    Do you have access to any server logs? A blank page usually indicates a 500 Syntax Error, so it would be helpful to see what that is.

    I tagged the thread modlook which means a moderator will look at it.

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    I have heard of WordPress widgets being used to show the latest bbPress entries in a blog, but nothing I know of that will create a new entry in bbPress from an RSS feed.

    Could you use bbSync to follow the RSS items that are imported into WordPress to create the new bbPress topics?

    https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsync/

    Or, would RSS2HTML help at all (it wouldn’t make new topics in bbPress)?
