In reply to: what did I do now? Login form
I guess you’re working on it now because there are syntax errors and no site visible.
Hopefully you’re working with your own template, not the default one. If that’s the case, just use the default template until you figure out what change caused the problem.
If you are working on the default template, then I would just install a new copy of it and start over with your modifications, this time in a template of your own name.
The create your own template, create a
my-templatesfolder at the same level asbb-templates, then in there create a folder that will be for your template (call it dogs or something.) Then copy over all the files from thekakumeitemplate into this newdogfolder, and then open the style.css file in this folder and make the appropriate changes there to give this theme a new name. Then, select it in your admin panel. Right now, it will look just like the stock theme, but you can make changes here instead of in the stock theme, and if something goes wrong, you can just select the stock theme and fix the problems in the new theme.In reply to: a working wordpress/bbpress integration demo?What does integration mean to you? What features would an integrated install have for you? I’m curious because integration means different things to different people.
In reply to: Warning: Cannot modify header informationMy guess is that there are special characters in your config.php which are causing this problem. Can you recheck your config.php? Maybe a missing quote or semicolon is causing trouble, or you have a blank line before the <?php or after the ?>.
I agree that people get turned off by downloading and installing something that does not work, then they search out plugins to add functionality, and the plugins no longer work, and that is certainly discouraging. But I don’t think creating a ‘Plus’ download is the way to go. I think a better job needs to be done on the releases, to ensure they work, and then somehow plugins need to be updated. Since bbPress is so young, a lot of the plugins that were written no longer work with current releases. There are “required version” and “compatible up to” fields, which are populated and appear to be accurate, but maybe they’re not always maintained. The Extend section seems like it’s gotten some love lately, so maybe the plugins will remain compatible longer now, or at least someone will check on them. I know writing and maintaining a plugin is a huge commitment.
In short, I know it’s frustrating to download software that doesn’t always work, then find plugins to solve problems only to install those and not have them work, but I don’t think a ‘Plus’ release is the way around that.
I don’t think deleting them with phpMyAdmin affects any plugin specifically, but deleting them directly in the database doesn’t remove all references to those posts. I suspect there are other references to those posts that are not removed when you remove the post directly. Take a look in the admin panel at Site Management > Recount. Those are all things that are tied into posts somehow. For example, maybe a member has a post listed as their last post, then you delete that post. That would be bad since the reference they hold pointing to the post is no longer valid.
So, deleting just a post in the database is a bad idea. Doesn’t sound like you need to mass edit any posts, so for deleting them, use the bbPress admin panel, not phpMyAdmin.
I agree. For deleting posts, I would do it through bb-admin and if there is a need for something like this, it’s probably plugin territory. For a mass edit, which wasn’t really explained, I don’t see a problem using phpMyAdmin and a regex to update some text.
This thread is pretty old. I doubt master501 is coming back around. Maybe you should start a new thread and ask for help there.
If you’re looking to do something like that, I would use phpMyAdmin and access the posts directly. You also have two separate issues: mass edit and mass delete. What exactly are you trying to do?
Do you have a link to your forum to see this problem in action? Maybe it’s just cached information in the browser that is still around even though you’ve made changes.
In reply to: Why the urls become plain text,but not hyperlinks?Do you have a link to your forum so we can try a test post? I can’t find it on the website, possibly because I cannot read the language there. Sorry.
In reply to: Minimum Needs in a HostMySQL 4.0 ( I would look for 5.x for futureproofing)
PHP 4.2 ( Again, I would look for 5.x here)
Apache with mod_rewrite
That’s all your host needs to offer. I would expect to pay less than $10/month. It might be a lot less if the host does not offer shell access (just FTP.)
In reply to: new installation – 404 errorsRight, if you quote the values false, it evaluates as a string, rather than the boolean FALSE. Good job.
bbPress does not create the .htaccess file. You have to manually create it with a text editor either on the server, on locally, then upload it. The file can contain one of two things:
1. Options +MultiViews
or
2. visit http://website.com/dir/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php
That script will generate the rules you need to put in your .htaccess file. Use this if the first option does not work.
If you cannot get permalinks working, just change the mod_rewrite line to false in your config, so you can at least use your forum until you get permalinks working.
$bb->mod_rewrite = false;I noticed that it depends on how much traffic the forum gets. If the forum has lots of activity, it gets indexed more quickly. It also seems to matter if you use the Google webmaster tools like the sitemap. I notice that soon after logging into the webmaster tools to check on *whatever*, Google crawls most of my sites.
I also see a direct correlation between how busy the forum is and how many spam registrations there are. More legitimate activity, more spammers register every day.
In reply to: Edit topic titleAs keymaster, if you log in and edit the first post in a topic, you have access to editing the title. If you created the topic as a user, there is a limited amount of time that you can go back and edit your own post. By default, I think the limit is 60 minutes, set in the config.php with
$bb->edit_lock = 60;.In reply to: 404 Errors in Internet Explorer OnlyRegarding incompatibilities between WP and bbP, see this:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-038-wordpress-integration#post-13713
There *are* incompatibilities right now. Things are in flux.
In reply to: 404 Errors in Internet Explorer OnlyJoke:
A man calls his doctor’s office to make an urgent appointment. He argues with the secretary and finally the doctor agrees to make a few minutes to see him. The man arrives, clearly distressed. He tells the doctor, whenever I push on my bellybutton, I faint, my nose bleeds, and my feet go numb for an hour. The doctor turns pale and rushes the man to the hospital, where the man is kept for a week while all kinds of tests are run by numerous specialists. Finally, the doctor returns, and the man begs him to give a diagnosis. The doctor says, I don’t know what’s wrong with you, but I have found a cure. The man, desperate, begs hims to continue. The doctor says, “Don’t do that anymore.”
In reply to: ErrorI created an account and logged in to your forum with IE7 without any problem. Not sure why you’re having a problem there, and I can’t replicate it.
In reply to: 404 Errors in Internet Explorer OnlyCrossed messages …
In reply to: 404 Errors in Internet Explorer OnlyI don’t think problem is with plugins, I think the problem is with the way WordPress is being called by bbPress, in both cases here. Hard to keep things straight with two people reporting problems, but since they’re the same type of problem, I think it’s good that they’re both in the same place.

In reply to: 404 Errors in Internet Explorer Onlynoyz319: I would try a stock installation of bbPress without the WordPress stuff. The
require_once wp-blog-header.phpseems to be fouling it up.In reply to: 404 Errors in Internet Explorer OnlyCan you force godaddy to use PHP5 instead of PHP4 by making this change to your .htaccess?
AddType x-mapp-php5 .phpPut that line at the top of your WordPress .htaccess if GoDaddy allows PHP5. I could not tell from your server response which version of PHP is being used. You could create a file called info.php with this in it:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>then put it somewhere accessible via browser, then load it up. It will tell you the version of PHP being used. Try it before and after making that change to the .htaccess file.
Call that info.php then load it in a browser at whatever URL you choose.
I am curious to see if using PHP5 will make the 404 errors go away…
In reply to: 404 Errors in Internet Explorer OnlyAre you redirecting from GoDaddy hosting to your website on another host?
In reply to: 404 Errors in Internet Explorer OnlyThe error does not occur for me consistently in IE. Normally, it loads everywhere fine. Are there specific pages that do not load for you or is it random?
The WordPress .htaccess looks fine.
Good to know it’s GoDaddy hosting (for troubleshooting anyway.)
The command line is just using command line tools on Linux to see the response from the server, which eliminates the possibility of it be a browser based issue.
The server always sends a 404 error, even though the page sometimes load. The fact that it sends a 404 is the problem. The fact that the page sometimes loads is something I don’t understand, but if you can fix the 404 response, the pages will always load fine, no matter which browser you use.
