In reply to: bbsocialize weird bug…
What version of bbPress did you install?
In reply to: IntegrationWhat versions of bbPress and WordPress did you install?
In reply to: How to insert ads other than google adsIf the plugin is for google ads, just change that portion to your ad code. All the plugins do is embed code wherever you want (depending on the plugin.) If you want to use some other ad code, just change or configure the plugin to do that.
If you are using OpenX, just insert the code into your templates wherever you want to see the ads, as johnhiler suggests.
In reply to: Need help with some colour alterations.In your #wrapper, you have 333333 (you need the #, like #333333). Then, in your #main, you need to add background-color: #222222;. That fixed it for me, locally. I think it will do the same for you.
You can also validate your CSS here to be certain you didn’t miss anything else:
http://bit.ly/FWxyD (it’s jut a link to the W3C site, but it’s a long URL.)
There are other places you forgot the hash # in front of 333333.
In reply to: Is there a screencast for this?No screencast yet. When it’s created, there will be a sticky link at the top of the forums, I’m sure.
In reply to: Secure Connection FailedMaybe it’s a problem with www domain vs. non-www domain? I was redirected to this URL when I clicked your link.
Right now, your installation is in progress here:

Are you still having troubles?
In reply to: New to BBPRESS — need help with ad plugins please!You can make a directory called my-plugins (and might as well make my-templates at the same time) and then upload them with your FTP program. Some FTP programs will allow you to create a new directory on the remote host by right clicking, as well. If you have shell access to the host, you can make directories there as well (but I suspect you don’t based on your questions.) And, 1.0 comes with those directories by default now.
In any case, glad you got it sorted. These instructions are for anyone else who might need help.
In reply to: Extend Section Login SyncI don’t have to log in to two places (forums and extend). The only place I need to log in again is at trac.bbpress.org
In reply to: New to BBPRESS — need help with ad plugins please!You should spend some time looking through the bbPress plugin directory:
You can also search this forum for things like “adsense” and you will find people who’ve already done what you’re looking to do.
To add a new directory, called a “forum” in bbPress, you log in as keymaster (the admin user you set up at the beginning), click the Admin link, then select “Forums” from the admin panel. That’s where you add new forums. If you want them to act like directories, tick the box that says “Category” and it will become a container to hold other forums and won’t accept posts of its own.
Spend some time playing with the software.
In reply to: Can I display topic ID?I think this will get you the numeric topic id:
<?php topic_id(); ?>Just put that in your template file wherever you want to show the id. This is with version 0.9 and the id is echoed, so there’s no need to do that. Just put it next to topic_title(); wherever you want to show it.
In reply to: New forum setupI think that error occurs if you have bb_ prefix tables already. Can you check the database to see if that’s the case? If there are bb_ tables already, maybe you tried once before to install bbPress?
In reply to: Secure Connection FailedFor some reason, the request is being redirected and ending up at a secure domain, but the cert there is wrong. You’re not going to be able to resolve the cert error, but you do need to resolve why your forum is redirecting to the wrong URL. Can you post the URL for your forum? Can you share anything else about your server setup.
In reply to: i must have a function of wordpressYes, forum will be more slow.

In reply to: Trying to add bbpressLooks like you have a bbpress folder inside the forum folder? I think I would just reinstall. Unzip the bbPress software then rename the folder ‘forum’ before you start the installation. That’s probably easier than trying to fix it if you don’t have any action there yet.
In reply to: Problem adapting theme from wordpress@maramac, I would start by trying to validate your XHTML:
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyahalcyon.net%2Fforum%2F
There are a few issues there that will not do this to your site (missing alt tags, couple of invalid tags), but it does look like there is a missing div or missed closing div. That might help you.
Also, what sort of tools are you using to help you with this. I find an editor with syntax highlighting (like notepad++ if you’re on Windows) helps a lot, and Firefox with the Web Developer Toolbar also helps a lot to visual things. If you post your platform and your tools, people will be able to post some suggestions. The tools you use can make your job a lot easier.
@swaymedia: Any comment on _ck_: “there have only been 4 donations this year despite thousands of users of my plugins”
Maybe you’re one of the four? Reminds me of this discussion:

In reply to: topics and psots appearing twiceJohn, what are you seeing doubled on the profile page? I didn’t see anything but I didn’t look too hard.
Yes, bbpress.org is using 1.0
vanesta, this was flagged as spam by akismet and I rescued it.
In reply to: Mobile Uploads?Not that I’m aware of. This will bump you back to the top though.
What are you looking to do with a mobile device? And what are you using to do the same thing on WordPress. You said you heard of something; do you actually use something?
In reply to: topics and psots appearing twiceI see both of them twice. Since I haven’t seen that elsewhere, I am going to guess it’s something in your theme or a plugin. Try with the default theme and see if it still happens. If it does, try disabling plugins one at a time until the problem disappears.
In reply to: SMPT serverWhat version are you using? The mail function is pluggable, and there is a plugin for 1.0-alpha I think:

In reply to: bbPress 1.0 releasedI have nothing but good things to say about the 1.0 release. So far everything is working great. It’s a standalone installation. Thanks a lot Sam for all your hard work, it really shows. This is a very polished 1.0 release. Guess I should start eating crow now: http://twitter.com/chrishajer/status/2456994459
(FWIW, I needed a forum, quick, for a project I was doing and the only forum I know is bbPress. It didn’t let me down.)
In reply to: Adding an image to a topic?I don’t believe the Allow Images plugin works with 1.0 right now. Here’s the plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/allow-images/page/4/
I just read through the comments there that someone posted a fix, but it looks like it completely bypassed security.
In reply to: Wierd problems installing bbPressYou mentioned this was your own machine. Is this a localhost installation? What server software are you installing this on?
In reply to: User profile link in post – replacement linkIn the 1.0 release it’s something like this, isn’t it?
<a href="<?php user_profile_link( $user_id ); ?>"><?php echo get_user_display_name( $user_id
); ?></a>That would link the Display Name to the user’s profile. You’d have to have the $user_id first to use this, I think.
