    johnhiler, I think that’s the plugin I meant to link to. I don’t even know what mini-stats does! (I see you rated the plugin; can you describe what it does?)

    Thanks for posting the link to bb-benchmark.

    Can you post your code?

    And a plugin or extension is probably not going to make your site any faster. There are no plugins I know of that will speed up bbPress. I think you first want to establish a baseline for the performance of the site, then you can fix the easy things first and move on from there.

    @chrishajer

    I think you first need to determine how long bbPress is actually taking to generate a page, and how long it takes to generate the other pages on the site. You can start with _ck_’s mini-stats plugin for bbPress.

    https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mini-stats/

    [edit: see johnhiler’s link below to the bb-benchmark plugin]

    And, on the other part of your site, what is running that? Is it WordPress or just static HTML? If it’s WordPress, you can get a plugin as well to point out performance bottlenecks.

    Regardless of what type of software a site (your site) is running, there are lots of tools you can run in your browser to find performance bottlenecks.

    Firefox (you need that to run most of these add-ons)

    Firebug (all around awesome tool)

    Y Slow from Yahoo!

    Google Page Speed

    There are tons and tons of performance add-ons for Firefox but these will get the job done.

    Also, what host are you on, and can you post the URL here so others may see the performance first hand?

    Looks like you figured it out. How did you resolve the problem?

    You can also explicitly set the link text like this as well, by coding the full anchor link:

    GO TO GOOGLE

    To achieve that, I typed this:

    <a href="http://google.com/">GO TO GOOGLE</a>

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    QuickD – if you type a URL, bbPress automatically converts that to a clickable link. I will type just www.google.com and below it will be a link to google with the text http://www.google.com

    http://www.google.com

    It’s actually harder to have bbPress NOT make links out of URLs.

    Why not just use the threaded comments that are built in to WordPress? Is there something you don’t like a the WordPress commenting system? If so, maybe there’s a plugin out there to change it.

    What version did you install?

    If you uploaded into a folder called talk in the root of that domain, the forum should be accessible here:

    http://www.moldovavision.org/talk/

    But it’s not.

    So, you will need to find out where you put that directory. Is it possible it’s not where you think it is? Can you list the directories in your web space and post that list here? It might become apparent then.

    Post a link to your forum please?

    In general, javascripts like that should go at the end of the page, not in the head. No reason to load that first.

    http://analytics.blogspot.com/2009/03/back-to-basics-install-your-tracking.html#oemp

    Put it before the </body> tag in footer.php

    @chrishajer

    Do you mean changing the user name, or the Keymaster title? There’s no easy way to change the user name. Just make a new user with the name you want, then promote them to keymaster, then log out, log in as the new user name, and delete the old keymaster if you want.

    Changing the title of keymaster is easily done if you log in and edit your profile. There is a field called ‘custom title’ where you can set this to anything.

    InvTrdr, you will find most of the functionality you want to add is available as a plugin. Check here:

    There was a problem with it working with 1.0 though. I thought someone posted a fix in the comments.

    Do not upload to bb-templates of bb-plugins. Make two new folders, if they’re not already there, called my-templates and my-plugins, and put your unzipped templates and plugins in those folders. There is no upload in the admin for themes or plugins, like there is with WordPress.

    bbPress for a while was coming with those two folders, empty, but with the wrong permissions. Follow the link from ashfame to see how to fix the permissions issue.

    If you browse the sidebar tag here, you will find people who’ve added a sidebar. You can do it in your template files.

    https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/sidebar

    If you just want a link up top in your header, to the website home page, just add it, wherever you want, in your template’s header.php.

    Just paste the Analytics code in your template’s footer.php.

    I just checked out 1.0.2 via svn and I see backpress is included as an external:

    Fetching external item into 'bb-includes/backpress/pomo'
    A bb-includes/backpress/pomo/mo.php
    A bb-includes/backpress/pomo/sample
    A bb-includes/backpress/pomo/sample/app.php
    A bb-includes/backpress/pomo/sample/languages
    A bb-includes/backpress/pomo/sample/languages/app.pot
    A bb-includes/backpress/pomo/sample/languages/bg.mo

    A bb-includes/backpress/pomo/po.php
    A bb-includes/backpress/pomo/streams.php
    A bb-includes/backpress/pomo/entry.php
    A bb-includes/backpress/pomo/translations.php
    Checked out external at revision 191.

    It’s actually included in the packaged download here too:

    https://bbpress.org/latest.zip

    https://bbpress.org/latest.tar.gz

    I don’t think using trac to grab the source is the same as actually downloading the package. Maybe that was the problem?

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    Interesting. I recall a while back that backpress had to be added manually, but I thought that was resolved. backpress has it’s own trac:

    http://backpress.automattic.com/browser/tags

    Maybe you can grab it from there and create a backpress directory in bb-includes and put the files there? Maybe an svn:external failed? It’s a weird error that I have not seen before, at least not since the alpha versions of 1.0.

    *what* is the error message you’re receiving?

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    That very simple error means that the file is not there, or maybe it’s there but has wrong permissions.

    Is this file present:

    '/XXXXX/StealthEmployed/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.bp-log.php

    If not, FTP the files up there again maybe one was missed. I don’t think it has anything to do with WordPress because it’s bb-settings.php complaining about a missing bbPress file.

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    Sam was notified a while ago about the problem. I’m betting there are more important things to worry about.

    There was a plugin to allow for a threaded forum. It’s almost a year old though:
