Please post a URL where this can be seen in action. Thanks.
Does your problem sound like this?

A backtick is not an apostrophe or single quote, it’s the key that normally has a tilde in it as well. Check this picture, it’s the upper left key, in red. That’s a backtick and it’s different than a normal single quote or apostrophe.

For the terminology regarding HTML, you can easily add additional instructions for your users. The files you need to modify are in your template directory and called edit-form.php and post-form.php. You can link to a popup with additional instructions (which you would need to create for your users), or just add more verbose instructions there. It’s your forum: you can do whatever you want.
Also, even if your users don’t get it, they can still post. Things that look like links become links automatically, and the post will still be useful without italics and bold.
But, for backticks, you’re using the wrong key. It’s not the quote key, look on the upper left by the ESC key (on a US keyboard anyway.)
In reply to: I have a problem before the installationSounds similar to this problem:
Maybe it’s a bug? I don’t see a trac ticket for it.
Maybe this is a bug. I’ve seen that error reported a couple of times now…
In reply to: Any way to dial back Akismet Spam?Maybe the restrict registration plugin would help:

Or even this admin add user plugin:

Or this approach:

I have never had a spam comment posted, but I get lots of spammers who register. I just nuke them every couple of days.
Sounds like one of your four database settings is incorrect. Either the host, dbname, password or dbuser must be wrong. Is the database on another host? Are you sure the connection details are correct? Are you using the same database for your wordpress installation? You can check the settings in wp-config.php and see if they’re the same.
Also, those are warnings, which are not good, but the connection was still made to the database.
In reply to: Any way to dial back Akismet Spam?Not as far as I know.
In reply to: Trouble Logging OutDid you activate the akismet plugin in the admin panel? If that’s where the error is coming from, I don’t know what to say. Maybe it’s a problem with the new release.
In reply to: Trouble Logging OutTo get Akismet working, you need an Akismet key. You need to register at http://wordpress.com/signup/ – you can check the radio button that says “Just a username, please.” and once you have an account, your Akismet key is in their somewhere (been a while since I had to look for it – but I think it’s “My Account > Edit Profile” and they “wordpress.com” key is there.) Once you have the key, you put it in your config.php like this:
$bb->akismet_key = ''; // Example: '0123456789abJust put your key in between those quotes, and you’re done.
In reply to: Trouble Logging OutThat “cannot modify header information” error comes from having whitespace at the beginning or end of a php file, before the opening <?php or after the closing ?>. Check any files you edited and check any plugins for blank lines at the end of the file. If there is no problem there, maybe there’s a problem with the latest release. I haven’t checked it out yet to see.
But, it’s from extra whitespace somewhere, looks like the bb_online plugin?
In reply to: FAQTry it to see if it works? If it doesn’t, just switch back. I don’t know of an official test.
In reply to: How do I get my forum to look like thisNot sure what theme you mean or where you are seeing this, but it sounds like you are seeing the unstyled HTML. There is probably a problem with the CSS or path to the CSS.
In reply to: Simple registrationThere was talk a while ago of servers that would not send email, so there was a way to display the password:
A lot of that discussion was specifically to get around not emailing the password, it displays it instead. It’s not exactly what you need, but maybe the approach could be the same. You could still require username and email, but then their password would be displayed instead of emailed.
I think also maybe you underestimate your users. The password arrives via email in less than a minute usually. If they can’t hang around for that, why would they hang around on a forum at all?
HTH
In reply to: Quicktags not showing upYou have tried to include this javascript:
http://www.popcultureshock.com/forum/my-plugins/js_quicktags.js
But that file cannot be found. So, where is that js_quicktags.js file?
Looks like you added the proper code to your template. Did you activate the plugin in your admin panel? Or is it in a different location?
In reply to: How do I get my forum to look like this> Where it says “$bb->wp_table_prefix” – where do I find
> the prefix?
It would be listed in your WordPress wp-config.php – by default, it’s wp_
> $bb->wp_home & $bb->wp_siteurl – that is just my
> site url only, nothing more – http://www.blah.com
That’s fine, no trailing slash.

Nope – it’s an independent application that you need to style to get it to look like your WP site.
Search for threads tagged “integration”:

This was a good summary I thought:
In reply to: Botched Upgrade, can’t find .htacessSounds like permalinks are creating a problem. Turn them off in your config.php and see if you can view posts.
Make this line in your config.php look like this:
$bb->mod_rewrite = false;(maybe it says true or slugs now)
I don’t believe an .htaccess files comes with a default install. You would need to create one, so there won’t be one anywhere unless you created it, and it goes in the root folder of your forum. You can take care of that later, once you can at least see your posts.
In reply to: unable to log in in iframesOh boy – just search these forums for integration.

This was a good summary I thought:
http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/
Normally, people adjust the template of their forum to match their website. I haven’t seen one in an iframe yet, and don’t know enough about form submission (login form) and redirection and htaccess rewrite rules to know if it would work like that.
In reply to: unable to log in in iframesCan you change the iframe source to a page name rather than relying on the index page of the directory called “forums”? So, instead of this:
<iframe src="forum"Try this:
<iframe src="forum/index.php"I have no idea if that will work. It’s an interesting way to get an integrated look. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.
In reply to: unable to log in in iframesPlease provide a URL where this can be experienced. I have not heard about this problem before.
In reply to: where are my forums??Need a little more info. Like, where can we see this in action (or non-action)?
In reply to: WP Visual Editor dissapears after integrationYou can always turn off the visual editor, right?
In reply to: WP Visual Editor dissapears after integrationAh, so it’s a plugin issue also, with WordPress, for nextGen Gallery. Interesting…
This seems related as well:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/104960 (page 3)
Seems like it’s more of an issue with the WP plugin than with bbPress integration? Or maybe when both plugins are activated?
In reply to: WP Visual Editor dissapears after integrationMaybe the order of how things are included messes things up?
In reply to: WP Visual Editor dissapears after integrationDid you take a look in the source of the rendered page for writing a new post, to see if the block of code with images from tinymce is actually there? Since this is an admin panel issue, it will be hard to help since no one can see what you’re seeing.
I don’t use the visual rich editor in my WP install, so I’m not sure what I would see that could help you. I do have a tinymce directory in my install:
./wp-includes/js/tinymceIn reply to: can’t use admin loginThanks Allen && Allen
