In reply to: Problem at step 2 of installation
Looks like you’ve got some weird stuff in your config.php. There should not be any wp_ stuff showing up there, just bb_ for the tables.
Can you post your config.php (edit out the password)?
In reply to: The default theme not working properlyYou changed the installation from forums to bbpress, but you didn’t make the change in the config.php. So, your forum is at
http://www.reviewsaurus.com/bbpress/, but the config has$bb->uri = 'http://www.reviewsaurus.com/forums/';You need to change one or the other (either the folder name or the URI in the config) for it to work.As proof, I can see http://www.reviewsaurus.com/bbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css just fine.
In reply to: Installation…?> I assumed that it would be seemlessly integrated with the
> style of my WP site.
It does not work that way. Integration is for logins and function only. To get the look and feel, you need to do some work on your bbPress CSS.
In reply to: Installation…?In your config.php, you have to set mod_rewrite to false (not true or slugs):
$bb->mod_rewrite = false;Your server does not support pretty permalinks, at least not as it’s configured now. You can figure that part out later (if you’re on godaddy, it might never work.) But for now, to get a working forum, change mod_rewrite to false and your links will work.
In reply to: bbPress vs. a pluginDon’t be scared, full steam ahead. It will be fine. I agree bbPress as standalone forum software is better than a WordPress plugin. Worst case you learn alot as you go along.
In reply to: Installation…?WordPress uses wp-config.php and bbPress uses config.php (although I thought there was talk of prepending bb_ to some files, including that one.)
Anyway, having it in a subdirectory as you do is perfect. If you cannot select the database, then something is wrong in your config.php. The connection details should be the exact same ones as in wp-config.php. Are they? The table prefix should be different in bbPress config.php and can be left as bb_. The table prefix in WordPress wp-config.php might be wp_.
Is there more to the error message? There has been some other trouble recently but it gives a different error message.
In reply to: Agregar nueva categorÃa de temasLog in as administrator or keymaster (whatever it’s called) and go to your admin panel. Go to Content > Forums and “Add Forum” there. That will give you another “category” (actually another forum) to post in.
I think that’s what you mean?
In reply to: very simple one-thread customization?> using wordpress would work and that’s a good thought,
> but I would have to customize it quite a bit I think…?
No, not at all. Find a theme you like, create a static page, make that your home page, strip out the stuff you don’t want in the sidebar (for archives, pages, categories, search, blogroll, meta, etc) and that’s it. One topic with comments.
Or, a guestbook
In reply to: bbPress vs. a pluginAlso, I didn’t realize there were forum plugins for WordPress until you posted this. From the looks of them, this one (of 4) appears to be most current and most actively maintained:
http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/simple-forum/
Never used it, but just learned about it after you asked the question.
In reply to: bbPress vs. a pluginYes, use the same database (it’s easier later with integration) and you can even leave the default table prefix in the bbPress config.php. By default, WordPress uses a table prefix of wp_ and bbPress uses bb_, so there is no conflict, and even if bbPress goes horribly wrong, it won’t hurt WordPress at all.
Good luck. I’m in Chicago too if you need any help.
In reply to: very simple one-thread customization?Sounds more like a blog than a forum. Wouldn’t WordPress allow you to do this, with you posting the topic, then leaving comments open?
Do you have a WordPress installation already? I think it might do what you want, unless I missed something in reading your comment.
In reply to: Change size of input boxesIn style.css you can add something like this:
form td input {
height: 2em;
}That will make the boxes taller. Not sure what else that affects, but it works for the login form. Just not sure if it inadvertently affects something else.
In reply to: Spam RegistrationTo prevent the registration in the first place, why not a CAPTCHA?
http://recaptcha.net/index.html
It could probably be added to a bbPress install with a plugin. Or, a while ago, Trent mentioned he added a couple of fields to his registration form, and the bots haven’t figured that out yet.
Also, it seems like the bots all tend to fill out the interests and website, but users normally don’t. Maybe you could add something to your template that says “Please don’t fill out this field” that a bot could not read, would fill out, and then you could write a plugin based on that?

Looks like that was fixed in r930:
In reply to: Installing BBPress on a WordPress website.There is absolutely a solution for it: fel64 explained it above. bbPress is not a forum plugin for WordPress, it’s standalone forum software. It’s configurable enough that you can use the same login and password from WordPress, you can create a link to it from you WordPress installation, and you can style it to look just like a WordPress page. You can even use bbPress functions in WordPress, and vice versa. The thing is, you have to do some work. But at least it’s possible to make it look like your WordPress site. Try that with phpBB or some other forum software.
If you look around these forums you will see many examples of installations where the bbPress installation is formatted to look exactly like the WordPress blog.
In reply to: Installing bbPressThe “Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by” error comes from having whitespace before the opening <?php or after the closing ?> in a php file. I would check any modified files for an extra blank line at the beginning or end and see if deleting the line takes care of the problem.
In reply to: Installing bbPressNormally, bbPress is not this bad. A couple bugs were introduced which create problems on some systems. My install from a year ago was no where near this hard, but I checked out the new code and if I installed it I would have had this same trouble.
I think the line 80 being referenced is line 80 of /bb-includes/db-mysqli.php
https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php#L80
I think there are 3 possible workarounds:
1. You can try overwriting /bb-includes/db-mysqli.php with /bb-includes/db.php
2. You can manually modify line 80 of /bb-includes/db-mysqli.php
3. You can apply the 745c.diff patch attached to trac ticket 745
4. Wait for mdawaffe to fix it permanently.
I guess a 5th option is to move on to other forum software. I hope you don’t do that. bbPress is nice when it works (which is 99.9% of the time.)
In reply to: Page Loading Problem in Internet ExplorerNeed a little more info. How about a URL? What type of hosting are you using (Windows or Linux)? Is it on the WWW or on localhost? Did you modify any files? Are you using .htaccess with rewrite rules for pretty permalinks?
My suggestion would be to share some more info so people might be able to help you.
Thanks.
In reply to: Installing bbPressLooks like mdawaffe is working on a different solution as well (read to the bottom):
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/745
Did you already try applying that patch with the patch command on linux (there are probably equivalents on Windows and Mac, but I don’t know what they are)?
In reply to: “Access denied for user” during install?With integration, it’s easiest to use the same database, then just change the table prefix (or leave it at the default for bbpress – there’s no conflict.) If you use the same database, then just use the database connection details from wp-config.php.
It seems you can’t even SHOW TABLES, not even talking about creating anything yet. The permissions required to SHOW TABLES are much less than those needed to create a table.
Something weird is going on and we’re going to smack our heads when we realize how simple it really was.
In reply to: “Access denied for user” during install?I have no idea what the problem is, but this right here is a funny 404 page:
http://approachanxiety.com/404.htm
This database is listed in the first error:
approachanxiety_com_bbpress2
But you are connecting to approachanxiety_com_bbpress in the second example. Was that changed along the way?
And you said you’re integrating with WordPress, but are you using a different database (i.e. why approachanxiety_com_bbpress if it’s an existing WP database?)
Not sure what it is yet, but I am curious.
In reply to: Is there a Post Preview Plugin?I remember when bbPress had AJAX posting:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/718
Not post preview, but still, the AJAX was there at one point.
In reply to: Add New and Finding Those Extra Divs./bb-templates/kakumei/front-page.php line 17 calls new_topic() which is defined in ./bb-includes/template-functions.php on line 866 and then it goes from there. Is that what you’re looking for?
If you post a link to your site, someone might be able to help find where the extra div is coming from.
