In reply to: rss result is empty
I am running an older version (I forget what version it is now) and RSS feeds do not work for me. So, yes, I have noticed that problem as well. I have no idea why your feed would be blank:
http://bbpressraw.com/forums/rss.php
Is there an rss2.php in your template folder?
Also, I noticed a double forward slash in your source after the theme folder name. I doubt it has a negative effect, but it’s “just not right.”™
I don’t see that discussion forum doing what I think you’re asking for. I clicked a long thread (27 replies at the time) and it loaded all the comments on one page:
http://www.messandnoise.com/discussions/2034448
Do you have an example of a page where what you want to happen is happening? Maybe I misunderstood or missed it.
In reply to: Installation problem..please help fast1. Looks like this is the correct URL:
http://test.nofullstop.com/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php
2. Looks like the database connection details in config.php are incorrect:
Cannot select DB.In reply to: bbPress 0.8.3.1 releasedThis stylesheet is referenced in your html, but it’s not actually there:

404 Not Found
Not Found
The requested URL /my-templates/bbpress-forum/style2.css was not found on this server.In reply to: bbPress 0.8.3.1 releasedWhile this looks ugly, they’re just PHP warnings. PHP error messages and warnings should not be visible on a production webserver anyway. They are there because of a problem with the bbPress code and the way it is interacting with your server, but they are not preventing you from going further. If you suppress the PHP warnings (maybe you have access to your .htaccess file) you will be blissfully unaware of the warnings.

In reply to: can´t acces the admin panel!?If the posts are indexed and cached by Google, you could retrieve them all and re-enter them…
In reply to: Forums not indexed in Google!Will any of that help with indexing the forum though? My impression is that the WordPress sitemaps plugin generates a sitemap for WordPress content only, not bbPress.
In reply to: Forums not indexed in Google!Do you have a sitemap that does not include the forums? Maybe Google is reading that and not looking any further?
This sitemap doesn’t contain anything about the forum at all:
http://argentinastravel.com/sitemap.xml
There was a sitemap plugin for bbPress at one time:
http://boakes.org/talk/topic/31
I have no idea if that works with current bbPress releases. I stopped using it a long time ago because generating the sitemap took too long.
I think that’s the problem though: Google knows only about the one site map and it doesn’t include anything about the forum. Other problems could be a restrictive robots.txt or a meta tag in the forum that restricts robots, but I didn’t see either of those.
I would add a sitemap for the forum and see if that helps.
In reply to: Key Not Found error message on password resetWhat version are you using?
In reply to: Admin Links at top not working – example providedI think you should start a new topic.
If you deleted the WordPress database and your your bbPress installation was in the same database, then your bbPress installation is gone. You might restore from backup, but other than that you need to reinstall fresh.

In reply to: Allow Image plugin questionI guess I don’t understand the reason for both #thread1 and #thread in the CSS. Why is that? Is your intention that the CSS for #thread also applies to #thread1? (it doesn’t since they are both distinctly named ids.)
If you want the max width of the images in both #thread1 and #thread to be 600px, you would have to edit the CSS for both those ids.
You should probably also validate your CSS here: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
Don’t give up on it, I suspect it’s a simple thing you’re overlooking that makes it not work. Maybe it’s as simple as a cached stylesheet so that after you make a change, it still doesn’t appear to limit the width of the image, even thought it would if the new stylesheet was actually used. I find Firefox does that sometimes even after a CTRL-SHIFT-R. View the stylesheet being used to see if it actually has the changes you made in it. If you load the stylesheet URL directly and the changes are not there, CTRL-SHIFT-R that page and usually it loads the stylesheet again, then go back to your webpage and the stylesheet with your changes should be in use.
Off topic: I wish there were a place one could go to check your site for all the CSS classes, ids and just plain markup you use in the HTML and PHP (web pages), then show you the extra CSS in your stylesheet that is not used in the code at all. That way you could clean the cruft out of your stylesheet and it also might point out things that are not working the way you thought they were.
In reply to: Allow Image plugin questionRE: a technical solution. That’s plugin territory and would require you allowing uploads and storing the files. There have been a few requests lately for allowing attachments but I don’t think anyone has taken up the task. The attachments plugin would allow you to do images as well, I think, or at least the same approach could be used.
In reply to: Allow Image plugin questionedwinfoo: it looks like there’s a problem with the CSS on your site. The #thread li referenced above by fel64 won’t work for you because it looks like you have renamed it to #thread1 (maybe just a typo in your theme.) So, the CSS for #thread won’t apply to #thread1. If you add CSS for #thread1 or remove the 1 from the end of the <ol id=”#thread” in your theme, it works fine (I just tried it.)
This
<ol id="thread1" start="1">needs to look more like<ol id="thread" start="1">.If you need numbers there for each unique thread, you’re going to have to do it differently, not appending a thread number to the end of the id “thread”: that changes the id from #thread to #thread-(whatever number).
In reply to: Allow Image plugin questionCan you link to a post that has a large image that breaks the layout, so we can see what is happening without clicking through all the threads? Thanks.
In reply to: Allow Image plugin question> I can’t see a good reason why I should spend

bbPress == Free Software.
And actually, spending money when you can’t do something yourself is pretty much how it works. If I can’t rebuild the engine on my car, I pay someone to do it. I don’t think anyone was suggesting you spend more money: upgrading to the latest release is good advice when the software is in BETA. It makes troubleshooting things easier to know you have the latest release. In this case though, I don’t think upgrading will have any effect on this problem. It can be solved with CSS, not new functions or bug fixes from the latest bbPress.
In reply to: DatabasesSounds like you have the database name in there incorrectly. If WordPress is working, then you just need to enter the exact same details in the bbPress config.php for the database.
In reply to: DatabasesUse the same database, and make sure the table prefix is different that what you are using for WordPress. By default, it’s bb_ in the config.php and you can leave it as is so long as you’re not using that already.
In reply to: How Do I Do This?You can remove a whole div, no problem. If it still validates, then it’s fine. If it looks good, then it’s fine. Sounds like it’s working fine…
In reply to: How Do I Do This?I’ m not sure, but I think the id needs to come before the class. Did you try your one example with the id first, then the class?
I’ve always seen them in that order (id first) but I’m not sure if that’s required or not. What was the error exactly?
In reply to: How Do I Do This?There is a difference between id and class. Maybe you’re using one or the other.
This is a class:
.forumlist {
font: whatever;
}This is an id:
#forumlist {
font: whatever;
}You’re using
<table id="forumlist-1">but your css doesn’t contain markup for that (it has forumlist, not forumlist-anything. There is markup for #forumlist, but without numbers. Maybe you could do something like<table id="1" class="forumlist">or something? That way, the forumlist class doesn’t need to be unique, since each city will sort of look the same, and the id is unique to each city. You still need to add the proper tags in your CSS, #1, #2, #3 for the ids and .forumlist (which is already there I believe.)Hope this advice is accurate. Let us know if it works.
In reply to: Changing Topic Folder NameCan you post your modified rewrite rules, the ones that did not work? You should be able to make any link with topic.php appear in the URL as
people.In reply to: TalkPressSam, I think this should be made sticky. For a while, the conventional wisdom was to tell people to grab the latest trunk to fix the underscore plugin issue and the mysqli issue, but that’s no longer true. There is no good reason for a non-developer to use trunk at this point, I don’t think. Is the best advice for people who just want to install a working version of bbPress to use r980, as you posted about a month ago, or has that advice changed?
Thanks,
Chris
In reply to: PHP Error MessagesI don’t think the trunk release is reliable for installations at this point.
You should probably install an .8.3.1 release or possibly a revision after .8.3.1 but not the latest trunk. There was a post from sambauers regarding which revision would be best to check out, I think it was revision r980.
In reply to: How to disable rss ?Why not just remove the links to the RSS feeds that appear in the template files? Doesn’t that accomplish what you want?
Like in topic.php in your template you have this link:
<a href="<?php topic_rss_link(); ?>Just remove that, and remove links like it from the other template files. What am I missing?
