In reply to: Installation problems – HELP!
Can you confirm that that file was actually uploaded (bb-includes/db-base.php)? Looks like it’s not there.
In reply to: cannot access pig2twig.co.uk website – help!I you are the administrator of the pig2twig forum, I suggest you contact the web host, which appears to be 1&1 Internet. If you are a user of the pig2twig forum, I suggest you contact the administrator of that forum. Since the site is down, I have no idea how to contact that person or who that is although it appears the domain is registered to Penguin Books?
Registrant:
Penguin Books Ltd
Registrant’s address:

The bottom line is, it’s not the bbPress software causing the problem. The whole site is down, as are other domains on the same IP address. The problem lies there, not with bbPress.
In reply to: Integrating bbPress with a custom coded siteEverything is possible. I suspect no one here has tried to do it, or at least not mentioned that they had done it.
In reply to: cannot access pig2twig.co.uk website – help!I was able to access the site earlier today (had to add www to the domain) and I was able to get a 403 error no matter what page I tried to access.
It looks like this is hosted at 1&1. I know over the past 5 or so days 1&1 Internet was upgrading the OS on their shared Linux hosting accounts. If you check other domains hosted on the same machine (ip: 217.160.74.30) you get lots of 403 errors. I think every single one I tried gave a 403 error.
http://whois.webhosting.info/217.160.74.30 (check some of the other domains listed here on this IP)
I think it’s safe to say it’s the host. You can give them a call (UK: 0871 641 21 21) or just wait a bit and it will resolve itself when they’re done with the upgrade.
ALSO: you should have received an email from 1&1 indicating the were upgrading the OS on your account if this is the case. I have received a few of them in the past week for various accounts, so I think they’re upgrading the machines in waves.
In reply to: Page titles not changingI know next to nothing about integration, but if you check the source for a forum page, you’ll see that all the header stuff is from WordPress not bbPress. I would guess it has something to do with the way the header is being included. Hopefully someone who knows how to do this will come along soon. But I think it’s safe to say the header is your WordPress header not your bbPress header.
In reply to: Page titles not changingLooks like you’re using the WordPress header (blogheader) and WordPress would be looking for bloginfo(‘name’) and wp_title() where bbPress looks for bb_get_title() and uses whatever forum or topic you’re viewing. So, the bbPress data is not available to WordPress.
Just a guess. Not sure of the best way to fix it, but I would guess that’s what’s going on. The header is supplied by WordPress but the titles need to be supplied by bbPress functions.
In reply to: cannot access pig2twig.co.uk website – help!If you have access to error logs or access logs, you could look there as well to see if there are any clues.
In reply to: cannot access pig2twig.co.uk website – help!Do you have FTP or shell access to the server? If so, I think I would log in there and make sure there is no .htaccess file causing things to be rewritten weirdly. Also, in your control panel, if you have one, make sure you don’t have any restrictions on viewing the content in your directories.
In reply to: Integration = ? How to do it?1. Good. The easiest way is if the installations are like this:
http://chickspeak.com/ (which is actually WordPress)
http://chickspeak.com/bbpress/
(the bbPress installation is in a subfolder of your WordPress folder.)
2. Search this forum for integration or view topics tagged integration. Here’s a good one:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/seemless-wordpress-integration
3. Maybe bbSync https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsync/
In reply to: Log in / Log out issueThat used to happen here depending on which login box you used. I think it still does. You get a message in Firefox along the lines of “This page is redirecting in a way that will never resolve”.
Discussion long ago about this very problem:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/redirect-error-on-login-at-bbpressorg
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/556
I think since then, I’ve learned second hand that this does not work because referers are blocked by the browser or personal firewall. If referers were enabled, I don’t think it would happen. Maybe that’s why IE acts differently than FF. See this recent discussion:

In reply to: pig2twigI received my password email about 15 seconds after registering, using a gmail account.
In reply to: Body Text Turning Blue?1. Validate a couple pages of your site here:
2. I think you’ll find this font tag is invalid (missing a quote):
<font color=white">Every browser deals with invalid markup in a different way.
In reply to: Can someone explain this bbPress database errorWonder why it doesn’t error out here with either quote? Can someone please provide the full text of a post entry that causes this problem, BEFORE it’s inserted, so it can be tested on other platforms?
In reply to: Can someone explain this bbPress database errorWhat version bbPress are you using? Looks like mismatched quotes are causing a problem inserting this post into your database. I inserted that text into a post on my installation and it is inserted fine. Of course, I might be missing some of what you tried to insert before it erred out.
This is what I posted:
Internet. I've taken to not answering my phone lately, and I like it. And Eh@ the laptop-- it's nice to have, but I don't need it. The internet tho, is a lifeline How would you get on the internet without your laptop?Was there something before “Internet”? Can you post a link to a plain text file that contains the whole text of the post? Maybe some characters in there are causing this problem.
In reply to: RSS Feed Page is all Code?!!If the browser can’t handle the feed, just use one of the feed readers from the dmoz list.
In reply to: RSS Feed Page is all Code?!!I guess trying to view the RSS feed without a feed reader is kind of like trying to view a HTML page with notepad. You see something other than what’s intended because your client doesn’t support the content coming your way.
In reply to: RSS Feed Page is all Code?!!In reply to: RSS Feed Page is all Code?!!Yes, you need a feed reader. IE7 has one built in, Firefox does too, and you can add RSS feeds to a Google personalized homepage (which is what I took a screenshot of.)
Autodiscovery works fine for your site. Here’s your latest posts feed: http://www.hooligans-gaming.net/forums/rss.php
Google Reader is a feed reader as well. Try viewing your feed there.

Really, I can’t find any place it’s NOT working:

In reply to: Adding Post Count to ProfileOddly, all the stuff over there is using the same CSS, which is a little weird. I think I would prefer to have .threadauthor .name, .threadauthor .post_count_plus, .threadauthor .status, .threadauthor .membersince, but that is not there now. If it were, it would be easy to add to style.css and style each item individually. But it’s not.
So, I just added this to .threadauthor in style.css:
font: 13px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;So now that block looks like this:
.threadauthor {
margin-left: -110px;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
width: 95px;
font: 13px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}That worked for me. There are probably better ways to do it, by adding the proper classes to the template file or whatever generates that HTML, but barring that, this one line addition worked fine for me. If 13px is too small still, make it a larger number. You might also need to adjust the width after that.
In reply to: Akismet installationThere is no plugin for Akismet – it’s already included with bbPress. All you need to do is add your Akismet key to your config.php to use it That’s all.
I think this will be changing in the future, but for current releases, it’s built in.
In reply to: RSS Feed Page is all Code?!!Works fine for me with Firefox and my Google homepage. See this after I added your feed:

No problem at all. Where are you trying to view this feed?
How about bbSync?

In reply to: Fatal Error?No need – just glad it’s working. We’ll call it virtual coffee money
In reply to: Next/Prev page link to view older topicsThat type of pagination happens here and in a default installation within a topic, but not between topics. Are you looking for what exists here or for pagination for the older topics?
How about something like this?

You can also search the forums here for pagination and find more interesting things.
