In reply to: Negative number of topics in Installation index
Yes, that’s been noted before. Luckily, it’s not important, it’s just wrong. I thought it was reported at trac, but I can’t find it right now: https://trac.bbpress.org/
If it’s happening at your forum, try a recount in the admin.
I did talk with sambauers in June, and the problem existed in 0.9. bbpress.org is using 1.0 now, so I’m not sure if it’s the same problem or a different one.
In reply to: problem with registration and loginCan you post a URL to your site please?
In reply to: Links not working in headerThe divs appear to be nested improperly. There is one validation error regarding a closing div being in the wrong spot; maybe that’s the problem.

If you linearize the page with the web developer toolbar in FireFox, the links are accessible – see here:
In reply to: HTML tags for explanation purposesThat’s a single quote or apostrophe, not a back tick. On a US English keyboard, the single quote is on the same key with a double quote. The back tick is in the upper left corner or the keyboard, usually on the same key as the tilde (tilde requires shift.)

You want to use the upper left key in this keyboard layout around your code.
<?php e_('This is code'); ?>and ‘this is just inside single quotes’.In reply to: WP plugins in deep integrationOK, I see.
How are you getting your WordPress header to display in the forum? Did you just integrate deeply and the include the header
<?php get_header(); ?>?Having run sites with WordPress, bbPress and Joomla, I have had less security issues with WordPress and never one with bbPress. bbPress is certainly less used, so it’s less of a target (like Apple for viruses, for example.) WordPress security releases seem to be fixed fairly quickly. There was an update this week to 2.8.6 for example, to fix some security issues.
I’ve done 3 sites with Joomla and about 40 sites with WordPress, and 3 bbPress forums. I would never recommend Joomla to anyone either.
Drupal had too steep a learning curve for me, and with 2.9 WordPress is adding custom post types, which was a strong point for Drupal in the past.
I would use WordPress. But before you install bbPress, define what you want in your forum installation, and post that here. Integration is not a strong point with bbPress and WordPress right now. If you desire integrated logins between WordPress and bbPress, you might want to consider a WordPress forum plugin instead of bbPress.
In reply to: WP plugins in deep integrationWhere does the ‘exclude pages’ plugin not work? What is the URL for the plugin? Where is the output correct (URL) and where is it incorrect (URL).
Since the exclude pages functionality should be easy to see, let’s stick with trying to figure out why just this one plugin does not work in your integration.
Sounds like the user is marked as a bozo or that the posts are marked as spam by Akismet. I would turn off the Akismet plugin first.
You can see more than normal users as keymaster.

In reply to: Forum Rules?Where and when do you want to display them? There is a plugin for Terms of Service to be displayed on registration:
In reply to: Profile information Mini TrackSounds like you need to add some rewrite rules for use with that plugin. I don’t see anything about it in the readme.txt, but now that I think about it, those non-pretty links should even when permalinks are enabled. For example, this link will be rewritten to my profile, even though it’s an ugly link:
https://bbpress.org/forums/profile.php?id=65703 end up here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/chrishajer
Also, there shouldn’t be two
forumin your pretty link. It should look like this:http://www.mysite.com/forum/profile/xxIn reply to: Migration from VastHTML?I think with any sort of forum software where there exists no conversion software that you are going to need to write the SQL to grab the information you have, massage it, and insert it into WordPress. I don’t think it will be hard work, but it will be some work.
In reply to: Missing files in wp_config AUTH_KEYYou should use the new wp-config-sample.php and add the values you’re missing. How old is that wp-config.php?
Just use the wp-config-sample.php as a template, and use your existing values where you have them already in wp-config.php, and create the others. That’s step one for this.
In reply to: Need to import messages from old boardThe you are going to need to write some proprietary SQL to import the CSV that is exported from your board.
In reply to: Username Field – Character Limit – A BugYou can use overflow:hidden to prevent people with long names from messing up your formatting – the part that is longer than you want to display will just not be visible.
You could enforce a 12 character username with a plugin (or maybe a username no longer than 12 characters.)
In reply to: limit number of words in slug?Not by default. There is probably a way to do it with a plugin. Since the slug is based on the title, why not make the title limit shorter? If I used onereallylongwordtogetaroundthelimit would you want that prevented as well? Max number of characters or words in a title or slug?

In reply to: Missing files in wp_config AUTH_KEY> I`m not seeing these files in my word press config file(below),
Those are definitely in the config for 2.8.6 (and since 2.6.) Is it possible you’re using an old wp-config.php that you never upgraded? Check wp-config-sample.php starting at line 45. You will see these defined there.
In reply to: New Installation: Theme is off centerWhat browser ashfame?
Just looked though, and it’s different today than it was yesterday. It looks like the default installation and default theme today, when yesterday there were more forums, and it was using kakumei blue.
It’s definitely back to normal today.
In reply to: Help out with bbPressYes, _ck_ is female.
In reply to: Agree to TOC before loginThere was this plugin, but it was for up to 0.9

You could probably do a little javascript validation to be sure they tick the box before the submit button is even clickable.
What version of WordPress are you using? There are cookie incompatibilities between various versions.
To clear your cookies, it depends on your browser and operating system, but it’s usually an Options or Preferences menu item, then something like Privacy, and there should be a cookies option where you can clear the cookies. Or just try a completely new browser, one you’ve never visited the site with before, and see if you have the same trouble. It won’t have any existing cookies to worry about. There are lots of free browsers out there that install pretty easily.
In reply to: Long Posts and Page Break.There’s no equivalent that I know of for bbPress. It would be the equivalent of a WordPress blog post page, where you want 9 posts (for example) listed as a default, but if there is a long post, some sort of limit kicks in. I don’t know of a way to do this in WordPress at all, other than limiting the number of posts on a blog page, or with a custom query. The nextpage tag only works on a single long post. It’s possible you could change the number of replies listed in bbPress when it encounters a long post with a tag like that, but I haven’t seen anyone do that yet.
