Null, you can always tag a topic modlook and I will delete the post.
That database host name does not look correct. That might be the web host name (a FTP server over HTTP?) but I would guess the database host name is actually something different, maybe some variation of that.
If bbPress can’t connect to the database, there’s usually a simple error in the connection details. There’s not much more to it than that.
In reply to: This forum has a nice W-I-D-E look to it……..The width of that #main div is set in the kakumei style.css.
#main (line 155) {
width: 760px;
}Change that to something wider and you will make the whole layout wider. There might be other things to change to take up some of that space, but start with the #main.
In reply to: Change "member" to something else?I think Marius- is asking for something more along the line of making the
Membertext more usable. That title doesn’t really say anything about where that link is going to take you. So, if it were ‘info’ clicking it would make more sense since you are actually getting info about that member. Not everyone would have the title Member: some would be moderator or keymaster.In reply to: bbpress themeIt used to be available here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-to-get-the-theme-of-bbpressorg-for-v101#post-45238
But bbshowcase.org was shut down recently. I don’t know of another source. Maybe someone who is using it could share their copy.
In reply to: Can't installYou don’t have the database details correct. Maybe you need to add a database host name. When you are installing, on the page that asks for the database name, username and password, there is a checkbox that says “show advanced details” or something like that. If you click that, you will be able to change the host name from localhost to your host. If you’re database is actually on the same server and localhost is correct, then one of your other details is incorrect.
What details did your host give you for the database connection (is there a host name there?) Also, what host are you with?
My bet is you need to enter the hostname, but you don’t even see the place to do that until you click the box.
In reply to: Problems with bbpressI registered just fine with bbPress. You will see my registration there.
In reply to: Problems with bbpressAre you integrated with WordPress?
What version bbPress did you install, and WordPress too if you did integrate?
Any plugins? What theme are you using?
Language other than English?
When in doubt, post a link to your forum.
In reply to: bbShowcase shut down?You should post here:

Or contact Matt Mullenweg at Automattic.
In reply to: problem with installationThose are just warnings and will not prevent bbPress from running. There are lots of warnings and notices and deprecated messages with PHP software. Normally in a production environment you would not see them. The messages you’ve posted are not errors, they’re just noise which you can suppress.
In reply to: WordPress + bbPress Integration 101You need to create a theme for bbPress that looks like your WordPress theme. That is how most people do integration.
I’ve also heard of people using a iframe to put bbPress inside a WordPress page, but I don’t recommend that.
In reply to: Search – Relevant Post Links BrokenIf you have an account at wordpress.org forums, you can log in with those details at trac.bbpress.org. I’m not sure how else to create an account that will work there.
In reply to: Too long "Latest Discussions" ListThis plugin will allow you to limit the number of topics shown for almost any view:
2. – apparently
noneis just shorthand fornoindex, nofollow. I’ve always explicitly set them, and there’s really just 4 combinations.index, follow
index, nofollow
noindex, follow
noindex, nofollowIn any case, looks like you sorted that.
Never having tried to do what you’re doing, I’m not sure what the answer is to making the Hidden Forums plugin work for you.
Making the whole installation require a login is not that big a deal. Sometimes you can protect a whole directory in your host’s control panel. The bigger problem (for me) is getting the password to everyone you want to have it, unless it’s a group that communicates in other ways, then you can distribute it there.
I would use the Hidden Forums plugin.
For the meta tags, since bbPress tries to use XHTML 1.1 strict, you should make those lowercase and self-closed:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />Also, I’ve never heard of robots =none – read up on that to be sure you have it right. noindex, nofollow is how I’ve seen it.
The meta robots tag and the robots.txt just tell search engines that listen to not index the content. Some search engines still might index the content if they don’t obey the robots ‘standards’. So, you need to ensure the content is not visible to anyone unless that individual is logged in. I would use hidden forums for that. Or password protect the whole installation, like an intranet, and give everyone in your group that login.
In reply to: downloading a plugin file on VistaYou should really figure out how to unzip files on your Vista machine. An unzip utility was included with Windows XP and I suspect one is included with Vista. You’re going to need it.
Anyway, you can download all the files here:
http://chrishajer.com/bbpress/avatar-upload/
The php files were all renamed php.txt so you can display them in your browser and save them, then upload them. You will need to keep the same directory structure. There is also a readme.txt file that is included that I did not rename.
Also, you’ll note on the plugin page that this says compatible up to 0.8.2.1 which is very very old. I have no idea if that works at all with whatever version you’re installing.
When you’re done, you should have something like this:
http://www.example.com/bbpress/my-plugins/avatar-upload/bb-avatar-upload.php
http://www.example.com/bbpress/my-plugins/avatar-upload/identicon.php

http://www.example.com/bbpress/my-plugins/avatar-upload/additional-files/my-templates/avatar.phpIn reply to: Disable Time limit for editing postI think if you change the “Lock post editing after minutes” setting in the admin to -1 that disables the timeout completely. Give it a try.
In reply to: downloading a plugin file on VistaPost the link to the plugin you want to download and someone can download and unzip it and post it so you can save it as plain text.
In reply to: Can't login here with wordpress loginI never knew you COULD log in here with your wordpress.org login. I just tested it and it does work, which is cool. As for the password, I would try to change it wherever you registered. If you registered at wordpress.org, I would change it there and see if you can log in here.
Other than that, someone with more experience than me will have to come up with some additional ideas.
In reply to: downloading a plugin file on VistaWhich plugin are you talking about? It’s possible you don’t have the software installed to decompress the file. What is the extension?
If you want to download it, instead of clicking the link to the download, just right click and select “Save As” or something similar (I don’t have Vista.) Then it will be saved.
In reply to: Install.php not includedAs summae says, you are missing some folders. There should be subfolders under forum1, but there aren’t any. You need to upload all the files and folders exactly as they are distributed by bbPress. You should at least have these 4 folders once you install, directly beneath the top level forum1 folder:
bb-admin
bb-includes
bb-plugins
bb-templateIn reply to: Install.php not includedThe new ones you posted are much larger, or maybe it’s just the computer I’m using today. Yesterday they were 320×240 or something tiny.
In reply to: Blank page while installingWell, if you accessed the forum, it should be logged, with an error or not, right?
You might need to give someone you trust access to your account to check it out. It’s not normally this difficult.
In reply to: Blank page while installingthe
w00tw00t.at.ISC.SANS.DFindis a different problem altogether. Looks like someone is scanning the server for vulnerabilities.If you have root on the server you should be able to resolve this. It might be in a php_error.log or maybe it is in an apache access or error log, but those lines there are not the ones you want.
I would determine the IP address you’re visiting from, then grep through the logs for that IP and you should see the error.
In reply to: CSS failed to load?Try a different browser on your computer, or clear the cache and the cookies. Starting with a fresh browser that’s never visited the site before will ensure nothing is cached.
