In reply to: wordpress integration
If it’s returning a blank page, I think that means you’re getting a Internal Server Error code 500. If you take that line out, can you use bbPress?
In reply to: Public ForumThere used to be a couple plugins as well. Here’s one:

In reply to: Public ForumLogin-less posting will be in the next release of bbPress. It’s in the trunk version now which you could try out if you were feeling adventurous.
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/2421/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip
Trunk is actually relatively stable, but the best advice is to not use this on a production site. The functionality is coming though.
In reply to: Download Issues for you to resolveWordPress mentions creating the database first, in (2) here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Install
Their docs are a lot more comprehensive than those for bbPress.
In reply to: Download Issues for you to resolveThe version is in the admin back-end in the footer. Are you looking to find it somewhere before you install it? When you download it, you select with version you download, correct? How did it come up that you needed to know the version and did not?
Good point on noting the need to set up the database first. I wonder if WordPress overlooks the same thing?
In reply to: A Bit of FeedbackI just rescued this post from Akismet spam.
In reply to: My Account Is DeadHere’s the recent post about the array problem:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-is-my-last-post#post-67425
In reply to: My Account Is DeadNot sure what happened or is happening. It’s not marked as a bozo. It also shows no posts. Here’s a screenshot of the admin screen here:

I’ve seen that array thing reported before and suspect it’s related to akismet or bozo, but haven’t been able to pin it down.
In reply to: bbPress as a WordPress Plugin – ThoughtsNo one knows at this point.
In reply to: bbPress in worpdpress directory … htaccess problemSounds like your links are correct. Does everything work?
Since you installed bbPress into a directory called “forum”, that will always be part of the URL. If you are viewing a forum, you will have the second forum in the URL, then you will have the title of the forum. That is how it works here as well:
- bbPress is in a directory called “forums”
- You are viewing a forum, so “forum” is part of the URL
- “requests-and-feedback” is the name of the forum
So, sounds like it’s working correctly on your site.
Not everyone likes how that works (even though it appears to be working as designed on your site), so there are a couple plugins to change this functionality. Here is the most recent one:
In reply to: Special Member Acknowledgement?The author ID should be pretty constant no matter what you do with migration or upgrade. The worst thing about it is that you will be hard coding the author ID in your style.css. You could always create a plugin and make an admin page, but if it’s not going to happen too often, simply editing the style.css should not be too bad. I can imagine a couple different classes (super member, cool dude, expert, pro, etc) then for each of those defined classes you would just add to the members that applies to:
.pro, .author-14, .author-355, .author-84 {
font-weight: bold;
background-color: #666;
border: 1px solid #CCC;
}You would just add more
.author-classes to your CSS to have that new author highlighted like others of the same stature.You can include bbPress (bb-load.php specifically) in your WordPress config so you will have access to bbPress functions there.
Or, if you just need access to that one function, you can try something like this:
In reply to: installing errorsSome good discussion of the various forum packages and solutions for WordPress

In reply to: installing errorsI don’t think so. Simple:Press is definitely a WordPress plugin. I suspect it’s due to licensing issues.
But, Simple:Press is a WordPress plugin. bbPress is not.
In reply to: Image uploader pluginThe one that is probably closest to what you want is bb attachments, so an option might be to fix that one to work with 1.0.2. There is no plugin like that that works with 1.0.2 that I know of.
In reply to: Can’t get permalinks workingFirst you need to make the permalink change in your admin, then you need to create the .htaccess file with rewrite rules. You need to do both for permalinks to work. If you have done that, the rules could be wrong, or maybe you just need to clear your cache or try a different browser.
In reply to: installing errorsThat’s the plan, but that’s a long way off. For the foreseeable future, bbPress needs to be installed separately from WordPress.
In reply to: Direct code to post urlWhat are you trying to get a link to? There are topics, then there are posts (replies actually) which are just anchor links in a topic. There’s no such concept as a single post in bbPress that I know of (unlike WordPress where you can display a single post with single.php)
What are you trying to do? Maybe post an example of something here that you’re trying to link to.
In reply to: Image uploader pluginNeed more information about your setup (what version bbPress did you install and what plugins have you tried?)
This plugin will allow your members to upload images to your forum:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/ was working up to 0.9; not sure with 1.0
There was also a plugin to allow images in posts, but it didn’t offer any hosting:
In reply to: Sending confirm mails from bbPress – Doesn't workhttp://community.pmail.com/forums/default.aspx
You need a mail server on your system so you can send out mail. Mercury (Pegasus Mail) is a mail server for XAMPP. Without some sort of way to send mail from your system, the confirmations will never be sent out.
In reply to: My Account Is DeadWhat happens when you try a simple post using that account?
In reply to: What's the CMS for bbpress's plugins page?It believe it is based on bbPress with some custom views.
In reply to: Disable registration requirement?What would start the discussion in the forums? If it’s a blog post that will get comments, then I think threaded comments in WordPress are probably better.
The 1.1 release will have login-less posting. It’s in the latest trunk version now. Maybe you want to try that and see if it works for you?
You can download trunk here https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk
In reply to: Link BoxWhat is a link box?
In reply to: How long does it take for a plugin to be approved?I have no idea what happens after you submit this form.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/forum/requests
I am guessing there is someone at automattic that approves WordPress plugins, and maybe looks at bbPress plugins as well. I know on the WordPress side it wasn’t always transparent. With less volume at bbPress, I imagine it’s even LESS transparent.
