In reply to: “Access denied for user” during install?
I think if you post the config.php and the test script with connection details, someone will be able to help. Seems like a simple connection issue, assuming you followed the instructions in the other post you found.
Rather than replacing db-mysqli.php with db.php, did you try to apply the patch attached to this ticket?
In reply to: tags linked to users?That’s pretty cool. It would keep people from using the tagging as an anonymous commentary, knowing their username is going to be next to the tag. Nice job.
In reply to: How to make the forum openI still wonder why they want it like that. I wonder what their use is for a bunch of messages that are not attributed to anyone.
In reply to: mail send problemSounds like you don’t have an SMTP server. Can you send mail from the command line? You’re not on Sourceforge are you?

In reply to: How to make the forum openI always wonder what use there is for anonymous posts. Is it truly that they are anonymous, so you never know who says what, or is it just to eliminate the login process, but people will still post as someone? Just curious since this has come up a few times and I can’t imagine the need for it. There must be some use I am overlooking.
In reply to: How to make the forum openHave you read this thread:
?
In reply to: DB access problem in the first installation step.Which changes did you make? Did you apply the 745c.diff patch from trac?

745 is the trac ticket where the bug was recorded:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/745
There is a patch attached to that ticket that seems to solve the problem:

Upon reading more closely your report, this may not be related to your problem at all. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen your problem before. It is sort of related since it’s about db-mysqli.php and db.php. Maybe that patch will fix things up for you.
In reply to: Paginated search resultsI was not happy with bbPress search functionality a long time ago, now I just live with it. The results were always weird looking to me.
Anyway, now I just use Google to search my site if I want to find anything. Something like:
site:mysite.com term1 term2at google.com does the trick. Of course, the content needs to be indexed at Google for that to work. An alternative I heard about was Google Custom Search Engine:http://www.google.com/coop/cse/
I have no idea how that works but it’s an option.
I think doing what you propose with the search results would require a lot of work (having 3 sets of search results complicates it in my mind), but maybe one of the plugin writers will show an easy way to do what you propose. Maybe you could perform all three searches and aggregate the results, then paginate them. That would be easier than breaking them into title matches, recent posts and relevant posts. That begs for having advanced search options anyway. Like, why can’t you search for a user’s name? I thought you used to be able to, but searching my forum now for a known user name doesn’t return anything like “User Name matches”: I thought it used to.
Looking at how a user profile works is interesting. If you click on a user’s name to get to
profile.php?id=the_user_id, you’ll see a paginated list of all posts made by that user ordered by the last time they replied (so, that user’s posts in the order that they made them, most recent first) and a list of threads started, I think. Maybe a plugin could be written to replace the search queries with something like what profile.php does, except instead of selecting all posts and threads for a user (which are returned in $posts and $threads) maybe you could do a similar query with your search term, in all the fields you want to check, then return that? Hmmmm…I think search is a weak point for lots of blogging platforms and forum software, and I think getting it right is important, so it’s worth looking into.
Good luck.

Take a look at http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum and see if the two links at the top (“Website Home” and “Forum Home”) are what you want. If they are, look at the source and steal away.
In reply to: Installing bbPressI think this is related to this trac ticket:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/745
There is a patch attached there:
https://trac.bbpress.org/attachment/ticket/745/745c.diff
But, read the bug report first to see if this is your problem. I think it is.
In reply to: Blank screen after installing bbPressNever mind
In reply to: Error while postingWhat version of bbPress are you using and what type of host system is it on? It looks like the single quote in
Mail'sthrowing for a loop, but I haven’t seen that happen in any recent version of bbPress.In reply to: domain.com/forum instead of domain.com/wp/forumIf your WP installation is at http://www.domain.com/wp/ then if you install the forum at http://www.domain.com/forum/ they are parallel. The bbPress installation would not be in a subfolder of WordPress.
Does WordPress come up at http://www.domain.com or http://www.domain.com/wp/ ?
There is probably a way to do it with mod_rewrite on apache, but I’m not sure I understand the question.
In reply to: Showing HTML tags on postThe allow images plugin just prevents you from using an img tag within backticks. The plugin still works, you just can’t show people how to format their post.
Not sure about the quicktags plugin…
In reply to: Internal Server ErrorThere is also a patch attached to this ticket to address the same problem:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/745
Look for 745c.diff:
In reply to: Fatal Error Prior to InstallationI wonder why your forum would work with that disabled, but it does not when it’s properly enabled.
In reply to: Showing HTML tags on postDo you have the allow-images plugin? Just curious.
I think it’s related to this (still unresolved):
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-put-code-between-backticks-after-upgrade?replies=4#post-8736
In reply to: Internal Server ErrorLooks like you resolved it in the other thread. This one can be marked [Resolved] then.
Thanks.
In reply to: Showing HTML tags on postWorks here, obviously.
Do you have a URL where this can be seen and tried? Maybe something is different with your server setup.
Are you using the backtick for sure, and not the single quote?
In reply to: Fatal Error Prior to InstallationLooks like it’s working today at:

Did you change something?
In reply to: Showing HTML tags on postCan you wrap it in a backtick, which on a US keyboard is on the upper left, on the same key as a tilde, next to the number 1?
Like this:
<img ...(that img tag is wrapped in backticks to make it appear)

In the process of making your design valid XHTML, I suspect you will find the reason for this problem.
One thing that’s weird right off the bat is you have two
div id="main"in the pages that work, but only one in the page that looks messed up. IDs should be unique, so maybe one would be main-page and one would be main-forum, or something, but why is it missing on the page that is messed up?I think you’re right that it’s an issue with a div.
In reply to: bbPress error: “Forum not found”Broken for me: http://forum.novice2expert.com/forum/1
That one particular link dies, but everything else under /forum seems to work just fine. Where did that particular link come from? Aside from that not working, everything *seems* to be OK.
It looks like maybe forum 1 was deleted and forum 2 is what you want now?

Looks like 1 is just gone now. Where did you get the link? Looks like before slug based permalinks were enabled as well.
In reply to: Parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE – config.phpThe error might not be on line 18, it might be before that, and 18 is just where it shows up when PHP parses it. Can you post the prior lines as well? Maybe there’s a problem with the
$bb_table_prefix =line if you happened to edit that.Thanks.
