In reply to: Mistake During Installation
You will also need to delete the database tables that were created by bbPress, otherwise when you go to reinstall, you will get a message stating “bbPress is already installed, maybe you meant to upgrade.”
In reply to: Limit tags to a pre-defined list?To answer your question about the closing
?>being missing, yes you can leave that off. wp-config.php starting coming like that. It concerned me at first but it turns out it’s OK and might be a good thing to do.http://activeblogging.com/info/can-you-leave-off-the-closing-php-tag-in-your-source-code/
In reply to: Aligning LogoCan you post a link to your forum please?
In reply to: Make BBPress a Page in WordPress???Yes, that’s fine. If you create a Page in WordPress called Forums (actually the slug just needs to be
forums), you don’t even need any content on the page. WordPress will direct traffic there. That works with permalinks on. Not sure what happens if you don’t use permalinks. If you don’t create a Page called Forums, with a slug offorums, then you just won’t have a link in your menu to the forums. There are plugins to get around that though, if you need it. Try the Page first though and see if it works.In reply to: Delete the search facility.Using display:none just hides it from display. If you want to remove it, remove the code from your template file. In the 1.0 versions it’s in header.php. Remove this stuff:
<div class="search">
<?php search_form(); ?>
</div>That will remove the search box.
In reply to: Permalinks 404 issuesDo you have access to Apache logs at all to see what’s happening?
What host are you using?
In reply to: Forums and Mailing listsI think if you can take an RSS to email service, that is about the closest you would come. I don’t know of a plugin that allows replies by email. But things like Feedburner, Feedblitz and AWeber offer email to RSS for the delivery, but replies are not going to work like mailman.
If you need mailman style functions, why not use mailman? Is there something that bbPress offers that mailman does not?
In reply to: PaginationGood eye Olaf. Thank you.
In reply to: hooking a function makes mysql query to return emptyManually calling it in a template works fine for me too. So what were you trying to do that does not work? Can you post how you hooked it exactly? Thanks.
In reply to: Theme integration between bbPress and WP…http://themehybrid.com/community/topic/bbpress-theme-development
You could ask Justin Tadlock about Hybrid for bbPress.
Is the header and footer carrying over OK, except for the navigation?
In reply to: Direct login path to bbPress.Does the rest of your forum work? A database connection problem should affect the whole forum, not just the admin.
In reply to: Adding a sidebar to a theme.WordPress sidebar code will not work straight away.
You can find themes that use sidebars here and maybe find something you can copy from:
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes
Or, you can find professional help with programming for bbPress here:
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-professionals-advertise-in-this-topic
Or, anyone familiar with modifying WordPress should be able to help as well since they’re very similar.
Yes, it will work fine with many users. It’s in use at WordPress.org if you want to see lots of users and activity. https://wordpress.org/support/
You can also check the top 100 sites using bbPress here and see how they feel to you:

You can find forums with lots of users, lots of posts, or both.
In reply to: User Roles, WP & BBpressGreenshady – here’s the author of that plugin:
https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/dragly
Here’s where it came from I think:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1016
I don’t see that it was ever added as a plugin. It’s worthwhile to leave it here I think.
In reply to: Add New PageI don’t think that’s correct. If you want to customize the page that’s shown after you click “add new” you want to modify the template page post-form.php – that’s the majority of that page. If you are looking for something else, please send a link to the page you want to change the look of.
In reply to: Stuck at 2nd installation stepsecure_auth_salt is only present if you’re accessing wp-admin via https protocol, otherwise it’s not needed. The bbPress installation used to have a note about that at this field.
auth_salt you can get from your WordPress installation, at this URL:
http://www.example.com/wp-admin/options.php
I thought those notes were present on the bbPress installation screen…
In reply to: PaginationThat should work just fine. What you want to do can be done and should be done in the stylesheet, not with a modification to the bbPress core. Did you try in a different browser to make sure your old stylesheet was not cached or something? Can you post the URL so people can check it out?
In reply to: Thanks for everything, Sam!Thanks for everything Sam.
In reply to: Error on installation – DB Error: cannot selectI’m not picking on you, but this is one of the dangers of posting an edited config in the forums here. You might unintentionally edit (or now edit) something important, in this case critical.
The error message is correct, no matter how many times you think you’ve checked it. You sometimes do need another set of eyes to go over the actual configs to see the simplest mistake.
Glad you got it working.
In reply to: hooking a function makes mysql query to return emptyRather than add the plugin (which isn’t working, right?) to the Extend section, why not just post the code you need help with, unless I am misunderstanding your question.
You can post your code at pastebin.com and post the link here.
In reply to: Adding a sidebar to a theme.There is no sidebar.php in bbPress. You need to create that PHP file and then include it.
In reply to: Deep Integration with bbPress 1.0.2 and WPMU 2.8.4aOne thing I question but suspect is not related to this problem is: shouldn’t you be including wp-load.php instead of wp-blog-header.php?
You can search these forums for both wp-load.php and wp-blog-header.php to see which one should be included.
But, you’re only getting a 404 in the Apache error logs? What page is being logged as a 404?
Do you have access to PHP error logs? The blank screen is probably a 500 error, so looking at PHP errors will allow you to see what’s causing that.
In reply to: Error on installation – DB Error: cannot selectYou said ‘change the database name’ – did you create another database to install bbPress into? There’s no need for that, but I am curious if that’s what you did.
It’s a pretty simple error – one of your connection details is incorrect. Maybe you need another set of eyes to look at it. Or, if it’s a local install, maybe you can look at MySQL errors to see what’s being logged.
In reply to: call for testers on the 0.9 branch and 1.0 trunkVery interesting, and sad for the project to lose Sam, if that’s the case.
In reply to: bbPress loading slower than site.If you’re unsure of what PHPINFO is, put this into a file called info.php on your web server, then access it with a browser at http://www.example.com/info.php and paste the info somewhere where we can see it.
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
