Is it possible the extension was in all caps? I think the plugin expects to see one of a specific list of extensions, and they’re all lower case.
'file_extns' => array("gif", "jpg", "jpeg", "png")If it wasn’t one of those extensions, I think you would get an error.
In reply to: Is anyone else having weird cookie issues here?Sam, clearing the cookies and logging in again has most certainly not fixed the problem (see both my replies). I do that daily and am asked to log in again daily. I’m not concerned with hacking the cookie to make it last more than two weeks, I just want it to last more than one browser session. Something is not right and I’m curious what it is.
In reply to: signup/registration captcha?_ck_ can you edit that linked page to redirect to the new, always current page?
In reply to: Is anyone else having weird cookie issues here?I’ve never had a problem logging in. The only thing new was that I was required to log in, which is not normal when you’re here daily. So I started looking at the actual cookies, and they look weird. I’ve cleared the cookies and checked, then logged in an checked again. Something is weird, so if they’re working on it, that’s fine. Just thought I would mention it.
In reply to: Capcha Anti-flooding for bbpress?I don’t believe there is a CAPTCHA plugin yet, but there is a “Human Test” plugin:

In reply to: php fail.I don’t believe register_globals and the
glob()function are the same thing. If the glob function is disabled on your server, the administrator would have to re-enable it.How about creating a
bb-pluginsfolder in yourforumsdirectory, then putting a blank file called_dummy.php(that’s underscorewhatever.php) in that directory? It would look like this:/forums/bb-plugins/_dummy.phpThat would ensure the plugin directory is there, and that there is an underscore plugin there for this function to find. At least this part won’t fail any more.
BTW – it’s just a PHP warning, not an error.
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /customers/cobain.dk/cobain.dk/httpd.www/forums/bb-settings.php on line 294You should be able to continue past it, despite the warning. Once you knock this one down, it’s on to the next one if you’re still unable to log in.
In reply to: php fail.Sounds like glob has been turned of by the system administrator. You can fix it.
Or download trunk revision 1075 right here.
In reply to: empty siteThat looks like a server error, probably error code 500. Hard to say since the errors are not shown in the browser. If you have access to error logs, finding the problem will be easier.
Did you try to integrate bbPress and WordPress? Are you using a different language file? Anything else modified from a standard installation?
I believe this new error has to do with translations when you try to combine WordPress and bbPress:
Searching these forums for streamreader turns up lots of similar error messages.
In reply to: Permalinks Problem – rewrite-rules.php does not workOne thing at a time. If everything works now, then you know you have a problem with the .htaccess and rewrite rules.
I believe you should be using a filesystem path, not a URL. Something like:
require_once( '../wp-config.php' );if wp-config.php is one level up from your forum directory.I have no idea if that will work, but I’m pretty sure you need to load it from the filesystem not over http.
In reply to: Permalinks Problem – rewrite-rules.php does not workTurn off permalinks and leave them off. Then see if your forum works.
$bb->mod_rewrite = false;in config.php.In reply to: bbpress / wordpress avatar?If you have access to a log file, check to see what the fatal error was, or temporarily configure your webserver to echo errors to the browser, or redirect them to a file. A fatal error can be anything: you need to know specifically what the error is to have a chance at fixing it.
In reply to: overflow on template in IEAn
<li>always need to be within an<ol>or<ul>. You can always validate your page here and it will point out errors like that.In reply to: My admin page displays, but nothing works!Well, let’s see. Your forum is in a directory called bbpress:
So line 17 in config.php should look like:
$bb->uri = 'http://redsunday.net/bbpress/';Create a folder, call it whatever you want. Just be sure you access the URL with that folder name, and be sure line 17 has the same folder name. That’s really all there is to it.
In reply to: New to WordPress – HelpSounds like you’re looking for WordPress support:
https://wordpress.org/support/
That’s quite a bit of help you need there.
In reply to: My admin page displays, but nothing works!It looks like all the files were not uploaded properly. For example, the stylesheet is missing:
http://www.redsunday.net/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css
Or possibly, you have pretty permalinks or slugs turned on, and they’re not supported by your host (very common with GoDaddy and Dreamhost, I think.) Modify this line in your config.php from
'slugs'ortruetofalselike this:$bb->mod_rewrite = false;If all the files were uploaded properly, I would guess this is your problem.
In reply to: Problems using same tables for wordpress and bbpressDON’T do that!
You want bbPress and WordPress to have different table prefixes in their respective config. bb_ and wp_ , the defaults, are fine. If you try to use the same table prefix, some of the WordPress tables get destroyed due to a collision between table names because both software packages now use the same table prefix (posts , usermeta and users tables, I believe.)
What are you trying to accomplish that requires you to use the same tables for WordPress and bbPress? If you are looking for integration, this is not how you do it. With an integrated install, you still use a different table prefix for bbPress but you insert your WordPress table prefix in the bbPress config.php a little further down in the file. Then, bbPress modifies the existing wp_users and possibly wp_usermeta table.
In reply to: Huh. I seem to have mucked this up.Don’t use permalinks. Find the mod_rewrite line (line 27 in mine) in your config.php and change it to look like this:
$bb->mod_rewrite = false;That will turn off the permalinks and all the links will work again.
In reply to: Huh. I seem to have mucked this up.No, it is JUST
.htaccess– the.indicates it’s a hidden file, and there is no file extension. The Apache webserver looks for that file for direction on some hosts.In reply to: Blank page after I try to make a new threadURL please…
Chances are it’s a 500 server error, but without seeing it or the logs, it’s hard to guess.
First step would be to disable any plugins and revert to a stock template and see if the same thing occurs.
In reply to: Whats my best course of action?I think this explains it well:

In reply to: Getting around 50 fake profiles set up a day- HELP!With all those links in the posts, it appears that akismet is not working. Do you have an akismet ket and is it entered in your config.php? That would prevent the posts loaded with links, in any case.
Regarding the registrations, there is a “Human Test” plugin that might help:

Or, maybe something more complex like a CAPTCHA:

Just search this forum for registration and you’ll see lots of approaches to handling it.
How does Google know if you’ve added new content without crawling? Do they establish some sort of baseline pattern for crawling, and if you have lots of content being added between visits, they keep visiting frequently, and if you add content less frequently, they don’t visit as often?
