You obviously have access to the database somehow, since you can run forum software that accesses the database, right? Why not just install phpMyAdmin in your web space and access the database from there? You don’t need anything from the host specifically. You don’t even need shell access to install phpMyAdmin.
In reply to: url's in post's not clickable…What sort of SEO stuff do you want to change on your forum? Many people have added various seo-related tweaks without a big plugin. Post what you’re looking for, in a new topic and people will reply there. Thanks.

That’s just the top 80 tags, here.
In reply to: How to disable "search" functionTo be clear, that just removes the search box, or hides it from display if you choose to do it with CSS
display:none;. People could still access the search function directly by accessing the URLhttp://www.example.com/bbpress/search.php?q=keyword. If you just want to reduce visual clutter, remove the code from your template as suggested by hatter.In reply to: Mass delete?This was written a while ago:

1. What version of bbPress are you using?
2. Are you using a custom theme?
3. What plugins are you using and does disabling them allow this to work again?
4. Are you integrated with WordPress and if so what version?
There are no error logs created specifically by bbPress. Those logs would be dependent on your server or host configuration.
In reply to: url's in post's not clickable…It’s probably not the CSS, but my guess is it’s something related to this specific setup. Maybe the language in use or the RTL CSS or integration with WordPress. bbPress does this by default when you type something that looks like a URL. Here I will just type something and bbPress will just linkify it: http://www.google.com (I typed
www google combut with the periods in it)In reply to: Find clear password (encoding)As far as I know, this is not possible in bbPress. It’s one way encrypted so it is difficult to reverse. bbPress will mail out a new password, or you can look at the hash in the database, but there’s no quick or easy way to unencrypt that, that I know of.
In reply to: bbPress IRC Transcript 12/9/2009@Gautam, the next meetup on IRC will be Wednesday 16 December 2100 GMT irc.freenode.net #bbpress
In reply to: url's in post's not clickable…bbPress normally does. Looks to be not working in your installation for some reason. Can you try the standard style.css instead of the RTL css and see if the links become clickable?
Also, what plugins are you running? And are you integrated with WordPress?
In reply to: bbPress IRC Transcript 12/9/2009@ipstenu – I didn’t see it caught by Akismet. Doesn’t appear to be moderated to me.
It wasn’t closed accidentally; I closed it intentionally. Since you’ve posted a way to be contacted, there’s not need for the discussion to continue here. If people are interested, they can contact you outside the forum.
In reply to: RSS feed not updatingPlease post a link to your website where you have the problem. Thanks
Can you post a link to the forum and website?
In reply to: How do I make bbPress look like my WordPress theme?You came to the project either a little too early or a little too late, depending on how you look at it. The project is in transition right now so there’s not a lot of visible stuff going on with it. There is quite a bit of discussion behind the scenes.
To address your specific points:
1. yes, the idea is to keep the core light and add plugins to establish the functionality with plugins.
2. https://bbpress.org/plugins/
3. there used to be a site called bbshowcase.org that listed many bbPress sites. That site was recently taken down. You can see people posting about their sites here https://bbpress.org/forums/forum/pimp-your-press and with a little creative googling you can find bbPress forums as well http://www.google.com/search?q=%22powered+by+bbpress%22
If you need functionality that is included in a plugin, be sure to check the version compatibility to be sure it works with the version of bbPress you want to use. There are not currently many plugins for 1.0: most were written to be compatible with 0.9 or earlier. If you want login integration bbPress 0.9 with the latest WordPress, there are plugins to make the cookies compatible between the two versions.
In reply to: How do I make bbPress look like my WordPress theme?It does not work like that. That’s on the radar though. To make your bbPress forum look like your WordPress site, you should browse the tag here integration. You will usually be creating a template for bbPress that looks like your WordPress theme. Another way to do it is to integrate so you have access to WordPress functions in bbPress, like get_header() and get_footer() so you can use WordPress functions.
bbPress is GPL 2 licensed. You should read that to determine if you can remove all references to the software being bbPress. If you mean things like the logo and footer attribution, there’s no problem removing those things.
I don’t think you need bbPress to extend your website user’s profiles.
In reply to: Where do you activate it?1 – advantage to a subdomain? It’s personal preference I think.
2 – integration on a subdomain? Integration is not my strong suit so I can’t say. I’m not sure it’s easy to integrate in a subfolder OR subdomain.
In reply to: Where do I upload bbpress?All the existing directories will be in the cPanel. Not sure if you can create a new one there, but you don’t even need to. find out where WordPress is installed (the folder with wp-config.php in it usually) and then upload the whole bbpress folder to the server. Rename that bbpress folder to whatever you want before you upload it.
In reply to: Where do you activate it?Read this where I just answered a similar question:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-do-i-upload-bbpress#post-61385
In reply to: Where do I upload bbpress?First you need to get it on your server somewhere. Unzip it on your desktop and then rename that
bbpressfolder to whatever you want to call your forum (some people us “forums”, like here, or “forum” or “discussions”. If you don’t change it from bbpress, you will be accessing it at http://www.example.com/bbpress/Once you unzip it, rename the folder if you want, upload it to your server. It’s commonly installed in a subfolder of WordPress. So, if WordPress is here:
/var/www/htdocs/wordpress/then you will want bbpress here/var/www/htdocs/wordpress/bbpress/(with whatever you called the bbpress folder.)Once it’s uploaded there, you will access the installer online like this:
http://www.example.com/bbpress/ (assuming http://www.example.com/ displays your WordPress site.)
Once you are this far, you can work on the integration with WordPress.
In reply to: Where do you activate it?bbPress is not a WordPress plugin. If you uploaded it to wp-content/plugins it’s in the wrong place. bbPress requires its own folder and then you need to go through the installation by accessing your forum online at:
http://www.example.com/bbpress (or ‘forum’ if you renamed the bbpress folder to something else.)
In reply to: New QuestionsFor # 1, just modify your front-page.php template and remove the secti0n that has the “latest discussions”. You can show only the forums if you want. Unless you’re talking about creating a new page that lists only forums?
For # 2, you will have to do some work on the front-page.php again. Just move the hottags div to wherever you want to show it in your template, and then modify the CSS to make it the size you want.
Both things are certainly possible.
