In reply to: Email masked
I think if you didn’t use pretty or name based permalinks it would not be visible in the profile URL either.
Also, the permalink would be an edited version, so much so that it might not look like an email address? I am going to register one here now and see what happens.
In reply to: Anonymous can’t view new topicslitepanther, please start a new topic for your issue. Then I will delete your post here.
In reply to: Email maskedI think if you used Display Name and always required it, you would not have to show the email. Not sure where else that would be used.
In reply to: Email maskedThis is your problem then:
Our username for login is the user’s email address.
If you are using email addresses as logins, those are visible. This has nothing to do with being logged in. I would not recommend using an email address as a login. Even if you’re going to use something like the display name.
In reply to: trouble with bbPress Themes, invisible.What are these “user” and “core” directories? bbPress themes you create should be in a
my-templatesdirectory. The my-templates directory should have 755 permissions.In reply to: A Few errors after installing BBpressReplace all your existing files with the trunk download. It’s not a diff or a patch, it’s just a complete testing version of the software.
In reply to: Email maskedEmail addresses are not viewable by regular members. Admins can’t even see them. Maybe just keymasters. Same with the IP address. Visible to keymasters only.
Just open the front-page.php file in your template folder and move (cut and paste) the “latest disussions” section down which will move the “main theme” section down.
It will look like this when you’re done:
http://wordpress.pastebin.com/a2y4FunW
Just copy and paste that into the file called front-page.php (replace everything that is there now.) That will put the main theme on top and latest discussions on the bottom.
I moved lines 11-45 down so the main theme comes up first.
In reply to: Installation Finished – UpdateWhat makes you think it was integrated correctly? Did it ever work right?
Maybe bbPress (bb_) got installed into the WordPress (wp_) tables?
In reply to: bbPress InstallationIs there a file called config.php in the bbpress directory or one directory UP? Either of those two things will stop the installer. If you find one, temporarily rename that file and start the installation again.
In reply to: Defective search function?It might be fixed, but I wouldn’t wait for that day to make the search better on your site.
I turned off the search on one of my forums because it was so bad and frequently irrelevant. I wonder if a Google CSE would be a better fit if your forum relies heavily on search?
For searching this forum here, I usually search google like
site:bbpress.org/forums/ whatever– but that relies on the content already having been indexed by Google. I’m not usually trying to find something from the past few days; usually it’s something I remember specifically but can’t remember who wrote it or when. If I search for these forums for the phrase, with Google, I typically find it.In reply to: Defective search function?Is this for BuddyPress or bbPress?
For bbPress, search is a weak point.

To change the keys, just delete those four lines, and create new keys here:
https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/bbpress/
Then paste the new keys back into the same location in bb-config.php.
DO NOT attempt this if you have integrated logins with WordPress. You didn’t mention that, and the site you linked to comes up with forum first as the main page, not a WordPress blog. So, if you’re using just bbPress without integration, it’s safe to change those keys.
Here’s the advice from wp-config.php on what this does:
You can change these at any point in time to invalidate all existing cookies. This will force all users to have to log in again.You didn’t mention earlier that you’re relying on the browser to save your password. I would try with a new browser and typing in the password manually to see if you get the failure on the first attempt with your known good password.
I wonder how this can be:
“I just attempted to do a perfectly clean upgrade: still getting the db connection issue after bb upgrade tells me I need to upgrade my DB. “
How can the bbPress upgrade/install know the database is out of date if it cannot connect to the database? I thought the version was stored in the database in the first place. I might have to try breaking my bb-config.php and attempting to upgrade a 0.9 installation to see how this works. Haven’t tried in a while.
Are you upgrading bbPress just to make integration with the latest WordPress easier?
This one is interesting to me. I’ve often thought that I’ve had this problem as well, and attributed it to cookies or fat fingers, so I never really thought much about it.
Have you tried changing all the secret keys in bb-config.php? That should force everyone to log in once again. Not sure if that will fix anything, but at least would be a consistent “reset” to everyone’s login. It won’t change their password, but it invalidates all their login cookies.
The renaming of the directory only come into play when you have an existing installation, and you change that folder name (some people install in http://www.example.com/bbpress/ and then realize later that path is accessible on visible, so they change it to “forum” or “discussion” or “community” or whatever.) The problem is, that folder name was stored in the database as part of the site URI (I think) so you are unable to access the forum in the new folder, since the database thinks the installation is somewhere else (original location.)
You can override the site URI in the bb-config.php (it’s not there in the 1.0 bb-config.php, but it is there in the 0.9 and earlier config, I think):
$bb->uri = 'http://www.example.com/forum/'(or change forum to the folder name that exists in your database. This line in bb-config.php will override the database.)Also, it’s worth looking at the changes between bb-config.php from the 0.9 version to the 1.0 version. I have noticed with WordPress that even though you upgrade several times, you are left with the old existing wp-config.php and missing out on all sorts of stuff (like the security keys and cookie stuff from 2.7). Worth a shot to try your old database connection details in the bb-config-sample.php and see how it goes.
Also, is this a LAMP setup with PHP5, Apache, Linux, etc or is it OSX or Windows? Or localhost? Most installations are on LAMP so that’s the most likely help to find here.
People are watching the saga, I am sure, but I don’t know that anyone has the answer.
The database charset and collation seemed too good to be true. It can normally connect no matter what, but those things affect the display of information.
Sounds like your existing 0.9.0.2 installation was in use, correct? Do you have a good backup of that database before you attempted the upgrade? If so, we can start over.
In reply to: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'Plugins and themes for bbPress. WordPress doesn’t matter at this stage of installation.
Are you installing bbPress as a WordPress plugin? bbPress is not a WordPress plugin.
Please provide the link to where you downloaded the files.
In reply to: A Few errors after installing BBpressYou can get a zipped version here:
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/2401/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip
Or you can check out the latest via subversion:
svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/ .Either of those two methods will get you the latest trunk (development) version.
In reply to: A Few errors after installing BBpressI don’t recommend editing core bbPress files. This is fixed in the latest development version already as well.
In reply to: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'If you edited any files or are using any plugins or a custom theme, remove those for right now. Did you edit your keys in bb-config.php? Maybe there’s an error there? What version are you installing and where did you get it?
If you are just installing a stock version, chances are it was not uploaded properly. This error does not occur in the default installation.
In reply to: A Few errors after installing BBpressSounds like you’re using WAMP or XAMPP with version 5.3.1 PHP? Those are not really errors but warnings.
If you can’t downgrade PHP, you can modify your PHP error reporting:
In reply to: Really basic stuffVery nice. Thanks Lawrence.
In reply to: Sub- Forums Topics Count Not DisplayedYou can change it though, with a plugin. I did it here:

Check out “LawServer Pro” as an example category. The subforum totals show on that parent category.
In reply to: Sub- Forums Topics Count Not DisplayedYes it is.
