In reply to: Another bbPress WordPress question
ajsilvers – you might be better off with a WordPress forum plugin to achieve what you want.
In reply to: Installations ProblemDo you have a file called config.php in your bbpress directory or one level up?
In reply to: Long Posts and Page Break.I think so, but only if there are long posts. Maybe a length of XXXX number of characters of posts per page. The topics per page plugin would always display the same number of posts per page, regardless of length of those posts.

Interesting question.
In reply to: User does not existDid you already try clearing the cookies and logging in again?
In reply to: Intergration problem?The cookies that are sent to your browser by bbPress and WordPress.
I’ve lost track of the number of topics that describe how to do this. Can someone please post the best one for synchronizing the cookie settings? Thanks.
In reply to: Another bbPress WordPress questionThanks hatter for posting that. I hadn’t heard about that plugin before.
In reply to: Another bbPress WordPress questionRead this:
The plugins that used to allow this, bbPress Live (for newer bbPress) and bbSync (for older bbPress) are both broken, I believe.
You can also parse the RSS feed, going either way, but that’s a lot of work to do what you want.
In reply to: How to add a link or buttonModify your post-form.php template and add whatever you want there. Just fine the input button near the end, and add your link there.
In reply to: Spam comments.Akismet will catch some (the plugin comes with bbPress). Or, use the human test plugin to prevent most spammers from registering in the first place.
In reply to: Tags not shown.I never said that. The search engines will read what’s on the page. You determine how many tags are in the tag heat map. The search engines can see that, but you don’t show the tags after 40 (41, 42 …) so that cannot be picked up by any search engine.
Regarding tags on each individual post, please start another topic, or see how it works with the search engines to see if any sites’ tags are indexed. Like here:

In reply to: Features I love to see in BBpressThere was a plugin that allowed you to extend the user profile, but it’s very old and I would be surprised if it still worked. You could use something like that to allow people to add their blog URL to their profile. You could also probably figure out how to display their feed in their profile as well once you enable them to add that URL to their profile.

In reply to: Intergration problem?It’s not supposed to happen like that. Ideally when you log in to one, you are logged in to the other, when user integration is done correctly.
In reply to: bbRating FF issueIs this a localhost installation or is it accessible on the Internet somewhere?
10 seconds is a long time for one query. Have you logged slow queries in your installation to see what’s taking so much time? bbPress doesn’t do that by default. Maybe it’s a plugin or something else on that site?
In reply to: Help with css layoutIn Safari and Chrome on Windows XP it looks like this with the whole table pushed over, in line with the heading.

In IE8 and FF3.5, it looks like mdolf’s screenshot.
I think that might help someone figure out why it’s all aligned like that. It didn’t make sense to me for just the heading to be over there and the table look fine.
In reply to: Godaddy installation issuesThose are both good. I don’t think it’s anything wrong with the database or server or GoDaddy.
In reply to: Godaddy installation issuesI’d be more concerned with the files in the subdirectories actually. Why not just upload everything again after deleting what’s there. You don’t have anything to lose.
In reply to: Godaddy installation issuesNo, it’s a function of the operating system of the web server and the files. In your FTP program it should be available with a right click on the file, or maybe it’s a column that is displayed by the date and filesize.
It should look like this:
0644orrw-r--r--, on the same line in your FTP program as your bb-config.php. Here’s a sample screenshot of what I’m talking about.http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/permissions.png
They’re called “rights” in this program.
Basically, bbPress needs to be able to read the file.
In reply to: Godaddy installation issuesHow about the permissions?
In reply to: Godaddy installation issuesYes, but only if you want your site at http://www.example.com/bbpress – if you want it at http://www.example.com, then just take everything from inside the bbpress folder on your desktop, and upload those files (and sub-folders) no bbpress folder to hold everything. Then, access http://www.example.com and your bbPress installer should come up, assuming index.php is one of the files the web server looks for the server (normally it is, so you should be OK there.)
In reply to: how to disable registration ?How about just sending all request for the bbPress registration over to WordPress:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-bbpress-register-plusgtgtgtgt#post-18352
In reply to: Godaddy installation issuesI doubt that. Right now, bbPress gets so far as making sure there is a bb_table_prefix and fails because it cannot see that. It hasn’t gotten so far as doing anything with the database since it has no table prefix to work with.
How about the permissions on the bb-config.php file. Should be 0644, readable by all, writable by owner only, executable by no one. 0644 is safe for all the php files in bbPress.
Do you know what PHP version and MySQL version you’re using?
In reply to: Godaddy installation issuesThe bb-config-sample.php won’t be a problem. bbPress uses that when there is no bb-config.php as a template to create a bb-config.php for you. I’ve always edited the sample by hand and just renamed it. In either case, gone or not is fine.
In reply to: Godaddy installation issuesReceived the config file. I am guessing that is is actually named bb-config.php. It appears to be correct to me. I’m not certain what is causing your error.
The only time that error should show up is when that variable is not defined. Here’s the code that checks for bb_table_prefix being set:
// Die if there is no database table prefix
if ( !$bb_table_prefix ) {
die( 'You must specify a table prefix in your <code>bb-config.php</code> file.' );
}So, for some reason it’s not set or not recognized as being set. Are you certain when you moved the files out of the folder that you moved everything? Since you haven’t installed yet, can you save a copy of your bb-config.php, in case you need it, then just upload everything from the bbpress folder that is unzipped from the download onto the html root of your server (probably right where it is now.)
In reply to: Godaddy installation issuesThe line you pasted here looks perfectly fine. And it’s not giving you a syntax error. Do you have multiple config files, maybe bb-config.php and config.php or something?
