    Have you contacted the author of that plugin?

    Just put a button in the bottom of whatever theme template to reload the page then, either a regular link to the existing page, or a JavaScript call. There are lots of ways to do it with JavaScript. Here is one:

    Now, what do you mean about Groups?

    What would the refresh button do?

    It’s old but the idea is the same now as it was then. The process may have changed a bit.

    Not a mistake, just that permalinks don’t work out of the box. Turning them off is a quick fix, but if you want permalinks, you’ll have to set them up.

    Read this:

    Sorry you’re having that trouble. You can also browse the forums for topics tagged 169 and see a pretty good summary or proposed solutions.

    You need to turn off permalinks, at least for now, to get this working. In your config.php, make the mod_rewrite line look like this:

    $bb->mod_rewrite = false;

    Seems like it’s working now?

    This must have recently broken. I get a 404 for any plugin I click to download as well. Thanks for reporting it. I’m sure someone will fix it quickly.

    Is this coming from a plugin? That doesn’t look like anything related to bbPress.

    I have a WordPress site as well, with bbPress in a subdirectory, and permalinks for me work in WordPress and not bbPress. I gave up on it long ago since it’s just not that important to me. I have no idea why it works for WordPress and not bbPress. I’ve tried all the steps as well.

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    How about this plugin to fix this very thing:

    https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/#post-821

    I believe you use it once, then remove the plugin. Don’t leave it in the plugin folder after you’re done.

    nolageek, I’m with you on the integration. Seems people are usually looking for three things from bbPress:

    1. User integration with WordPress out of the box

    (registration/login)

    2. Theme integration with WordPress out of the box

    (make the forum look like the blog)

    3. Working slugs or permalinks out of the box

    (why is it so easy with WordPress and so hard with bbPress?)

    (Regarding MU, I have no idea. I’m talking mostly about WordPress.)

    I would say those are the most common requests in these forums, ones that come up over and over.

    Sorry for hijacking your thread.

    @chrishajer

    Interesting.

    I wish you could get paros (or similar) running and see what’s happening behind the scenes.

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    Did you download the legacy 2.3 version for bbPress versions prior to .9, or are you trying to run v3?

    I just got an email from someone with a WordPress 2.2.2 site, and all of the sudden she lost the ability to create a new post (in the last month anyway). She gets a javascript error. Take a look at the screenshot:

    http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/ajax-permissions.jpg

    She is using IE7. I did not get the same error when I logged into her blog and created a new test post or page (with either IE7 or FF.) So, she cleared her cookies and everything is back to normal. Maybe it’s something simple like that for you as well.

    I wonder if there was some sort of update on the server (or a couple different hosting companies or something) that is causing these problems. Maybe they upgraded a package because of a vulnerability?

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    Yeah, I’d say the Suhosin thing doesn’t apply to your situation.

    Interesting. Can you run with a local proxy server like Paros to see what’s going back and forth when you try some of those admin functions?

    I am running bbPress 0.8.3.1 and WP 2.x(something) but not MU. I am not having any trouble like that, but obviously some people are.

    Does using a different browser make the problem any different? What browser and OS are you using when you see the problem?

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    Can you verify if you are using Suhosin or a hardening patch from your phpinfo(); ?

    How about the “Human Test” plugin?

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    Oh, and to put it in the root directory, just move all the files from the bbpress folder into the root folder for your website. That assumes there is no other site in the root folder right now to conflict with. But if you just want a forum for your website, put everything in the root folder, not a folder called bbpress.

    I’m not sure what else has to happen for you to make that move now. Since you don’t have too much going on there yet, you might want to just reinstall it in the root folder.

    For right now, turn off permalinks in your config.php

    $bb->mod_rewrite = false;

    Looks like you have it set to 'slugs' right now but your .htaccess rules are not allowing that. Set it to false for now and you can figure out permalinks later.

    If you contact me at an email listed on the website in my profile, I can do it on Monday. Or, just google my nickname – I’m not hard to find.

    Participant

    It worked when I did it.

    http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/GregJames-560.png

    BTW – I just gave it 20px of whitespace on the sides. This forum here has 40px of whitespace on either side of the content. I always thought this forum looked too narrow, so I didn’t add that much whitespace when I made yours 560px wide.

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    The problem is, you’ve given yourself 600px of space in between those side images, and you’ve used up all of it. You can do something like this to any of those tables that are now 600px wide. Change the width to 560px and then center it. That will give you 20px of whitespace on the left and right. You will need to do this for several tables that are 600px wide now.

    width="560" style="margin: 0 auto;"

    (inside the <table> tag)

    This is a really bad way of doing it, but it gets the job done. Much better to do this with divs that have unique names, then define the style for those divs in style.css. But, just adding that style inline gets the job done. It’s just not the best way of doing it.

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    So, are you just trying to add some whitespace between the forum content and the images on the sides then?
