There is no config option. What did you try and what happened when you did it? How was that different from what you expected? Is it possible the code is just not styled any differently in your theme?

You did read this right?

How about this for bbPress:

Try removing the float:left; from the div that wraps around all those image links. That messes up some other stuff on the page, but it makes the links clickable. You might need to do something else to format that area.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

1. Just move the blocks of code in your template’s front-page.php to put the forums up top and the latest discussions on bottom.

2. There is a space for first name and last name in the profile, it’s just not required and not part of the sign-up. Why not direct them after signing up or logging in to change their password, and to complete their profile. Just provide them with a link to their profile page.

If you’re looking to make that information required, or part of the sign-up process, I’m not sure how to do that.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

Actually, because this file is accessible:

http://speakasp.net/asp-forum/bb-templates/kakumei/screenshot.png

and your forum comes up if you access it like this:

http://speakasp.net/asp-forum/index.php

it seems that the files are installed in the proper locations. Maybe the server is not configured to serve index.php as one of the default files? I think the default on IIS is to look for default.asp first, but there has to be a way to serve index.php by default. That’s what you need for bbPress (and WordPress too, which seems to be working already.)

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

Something should come up when you access this URL: http://speakasp.net/asp-forum but it does not for me, just gives a 404. Maybe index.php is not one of the files served by the webserver? Or your directory structure is different than the URLs you’re trying?

Can you get a directory listing with FTP or something to show the structure? Or, find someone local who can help you by logging in to your server and seeing where things are. Something is not correct and I’m not sure if it’s configuration or that the files are not where we expect them.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

That URL redirects to a phpBB installation? Is that the wrong URL or are we talking about a phpBB forum?

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

What are the directory paths where you installed WordPress and bbPress, the full path, or at least the relationship between the two.

Also, if you look, is the install.php file in the bb-admin directory? Maybe all the files were not transferred.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

You can just edit the record directly to insert the hashed password, or you can use this SQL to update it:

UPDATE bb_users SET user_pass = “$P$BlNSCHus7UmWzMPMh1c/MH71Mjj7kj/” WHERE ID=YOURNUMERICUSERID

If your ID is 1, this would be the SQL:

UPDATE bb_users SET user_pass = “$P$BlNSCHus7UmWzMPMh1c/MH71Mjj7kj/” WHERE ID=1

That also assumes your table prefix is bb_. Change it if you used something different.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

If you’re using 1.0.2, here is a password to log in with, and the hash you should insert into the bb_user.user_pass field (bb_user table, user_pass field) for your user:

insert this hash: $P$BlNSCHus7UmWzMPMh1c/MH71Mjj7kj/

log in with this password: n4gN#cO39wpL

Now change your password after you’re logged in.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

The version will be in the admin section, on the bottom of every page.

http://chrishajer.com/bbpress/bbpress-version.png

Of course, without being able to log in, you aren’t going to be able to see that. If you haven’t removed it, the version is also showed in the head section of each forum page. It might look like this:

<meta name="generator" content="bbPress 1.0.2" />

I want to give you a password that will work with your version, so I need to know what version you are using.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

Is it working?

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

Did you set a valid email address when you installed bbPress? You can check here:

http://www.example.com/bbpress/bb-admin/options-general.php

Make sure there is an email address set there under “E-mail address”.

If that is already set and it still does not work, please post your forum URL.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

So, on this live site, why not just use wp_list_pages('exclude=WHATVER_ID') – unless you’re not planning on using this wp_list_pages functionality on the live site in the future.

I know that doesn’t resolve the issue of plugins apparently not working in your integration, but I am more concerned with the results at this point than figuring out where the problem lies with integration in general.

Can you just exclude pages in the wp_list_pages on your forum?

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

Where would you want to show the button?

Basically, you will just need to feed URL, then an image to use as the button, then decide where you want to put the buttons, the edit the file that is used to display that page, and edit the HTML to show the button.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

If your issue is persistent hpguru, you should probably start a new topic. I know you were just adding to the voices who are having similar problems, and not even really looking for help, but if you do need help, please start a new topic.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

You might need to click the “show advanced settings” checkbox there. When you do that, you will have a place to enter your database host (mysql8.000webhost.com). You don’t need to do anything other than make sure that database exists. No need to create tables; the installer does that for you. I think that’s probably the only problem, assuming the password is correct.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

If you have access to the database, you can insert a password hash from a known password, then log in with your username and that password you just inserted. Do you have something like phpMyAdmin to access the database directly?

Also, what version of bbPress are you using, and are you using any plugins that affect the password, cookie or integration settings?

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

I would stop using the Mass Delete Users plugin. I suspect it’s doing something that’s incompatible with 1.0 and something is going on with the users it deletes and the ones that are left behind. I would stop using that then do a recount in the admin. I’m not sure if recounting fixing user-related things that might have gotten borked.

I don’t think Allow Images, either BBcode plugin, BBvideo or Social It would cause any problem like this. Unless the problem occurs on threads with (or without) images or threads with (or without) video.) The Social IT appears to be on every post.

I’m not sure about Human Test for 1.0 – I don’t think I’ve ever tried it. I do have it working with a 1.0RC, I forget which version though. All you can do is try it. If it activates without error, that’s good. If you try to register and it prevents incorrect answers and allows correct answers, and the registration goes through, then it works.

I don’t think disabling Mass Delete is going to make everything better right away. I have a feeling that it’s doing something to the user data in the database, and that will remain there even after you deactivate the plugin.

The other possibility is something going on with the host. But if all the other software is running fine there, that’s probably not a problem.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

What if an incompatible plugin is creating problems for you? The problems you’re having are not normal. I noticed that the mass delete users plugin is good up to 0.9 only, but you posted there that it works with 1.0.2.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mass-delete-users/

How about preventing the spambot registrations with the Human Test plugin instead, and not trying to mass moderate users? Maybe it’s deleting some references to the users, but not all? Or there are stranded posts or something, and that throws off the numbering or something?

hpguru, what plugins are you using?

Marius-, what other plugins are you using?

It doesn’t happen by default in an installation with very few plugins running, so it might be a problem with a plugin, or could be a problem with the server. Software sometimes acts weird when a partition or MySQL runs out of space or memory.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

I was able to create an account, log in and make a new topic:

http://www.michaeljackson.no/forum/topic.php?id=130

I was able to add a reply to this topic as well:

http://www.michaeljackson.no/forum/topic.php?id=6&page=8&replies=220#post-3577

Someone posted soon after me, but for about 10 seconds I was listed as the last poster.

So, it seems to be working well for me. Is it not working for everyone?

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

A decision was made to mark posts as deleted rather than delete them completely. Just a design decision. I prefer it this way; others want them gone forever.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

First determine if you can send email from that server. Can you? Have you ever received mail from the server?

Also, what type of server, and what version of bbPress did you install, and are you integrated with WordPress? Using English or another language? All of these things can affect how mail is sent from your server.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

You should open a ticket at trac.bbpress.org and voice your concerns there.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

When you have the integration working, a user will be able to log in in either the forum or the WordPress site, and will already be logged in on the other side. They would not have to log in twice and would be logged in at both places simultaneously.
