Also, can you get phpinfo() for your server? Just put this into a file and call it up in a browser:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
If you save that as a file called info.php, you can load in your browser at http://www.example.com/info.php or http://www.example.com/bbpress/info.php depending on where you installed it.
Just a note: that field length can be bypassed in the browser, if someone wants to. If you don’t modify the database field, it probably won’t be a problem and it will prevent people from just posting things that are too long. I think a better way would be to verify that the input is less than 3000 characters with a plugin, before trying to insert it into the database.
Maybe a combination of the two. Give people a counter showing how many characters are left (like eBay does in some of their forms) and then have a plugin verify what is being submitted actually conforms to your rules.
Right, that works fine too. It wasn’t so much about bbPress but about running WordPress in a different folder than the webroot. Got it.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /web/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php on line 1734
This is what I’m getting right now. Maybe you’re modifying something?
Ipstenu – I have always installed bbPress and WordPress together like this, without a problem:
/var/www/example/wordpress/
accessible here http://www.example.com/
/var/www/example/wordpress/bbpress/
accessible here http://www.example.com/bbpress/
Are you suggesting NOT to install it like that?
What is the site URL where we can check this out?
I wonder if SELinux could be involved? That’s prevented me from doing things on systems in the past, to the point of me banging my head against the wall for hours.
SELINUX_INIT from your phpinfo();
Interesting that this is a CentOS installation as well.
Can you install WordPress OK on this host or domain?
That’s a pretty neat customization. Nice job.
Are you trying to make the permalinks prettier, or prevent google from indexing the attachments? I’m having a hard time following the conversation.
Also, you will have to ask the search engines to remove content from their index if it’s already in there. Each search engine has a form, and with Google Webmaster tools, it’s right in the admin screen. It happens in a couple days in my experience.
Doesn’t each topic display its own tags when you’re viewing just a single topic? If so, couldn’t you use the same procedure that topic.php uses, but use it in forum.php? Are you looking to get a list of all tags that are used on any topic in all your forums? (hope I got that terminology right.)
How about a mockup of where you would like to see this?
What version bbPress are you using? The 404.php was a recent addition, I think.
3) You can put this in you template’s post-form.php:
<p>You will be able to edit this reply for <?php echo bb_get_option('edit_lock'); ?> minutes after posting.</p>
I believe that will show the number of minutes from your admin setting.
I think it would be neat to put this next to the edit link of the reply as well, so people see that they have some amount of time they can edit, and when the message is gone, the edit link is gone. You could extend this in a lot of ways. I think the edit_lock option is the one you want though. Even neater would be to show how many minutes left before they can no longer edit their reply…
I have no idea what happens if you exclude some users from ever locking editing on their replies (like moderators and admins.) Probably just displays the same option even though they have been exempted from the edit_lock restriction.
A 500 error is just a syntax error or maybe a function that’s not available to you. Is there any logging you can look at to see what the actual logged error message might be? Maybe something else in the bb-config.php has a syntax error. Can you check the syntax of that file with command line PHP on the server: php5 -l bb-config.php or php -l bb-config.php maybe? (that’s a lowercase L for “lint”)
There’s no sense posting a modified config file here since checking the actual file is the only thing that matters.
Forum could not be created!
Google search of this forum for that error message:

We’re going to need a real URL to see this in action. Do you have a link rel=’icon’ meta tag for the favicon in your template header.php?
Favicon support is largely up to the browser. Have you tried a different browser, cleared the cache, tried creating a bookmark?
@burtadsit, I think this is what you need for compatibility with WordPress < 2.8:
define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1);

You can if you use something to make the cookies compatible:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/freshly-baked-cookies/
or
http://superann.com/2009/02/26/wordpress-26-27-bbpress-09-cookie-integration-plugin/
Those were using bbPress 0.9.0.4 and WordPress 2.7, and there has been some additional talk about adding a line to (or was it removing a line from??) your bb-config.php to make the 0.9.0.* cookies work with WordPress 2.8:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-10-release-candidate-1#post-30330
> Is that the best combination?
Best is up to you to decide. I think you will find you can integrate logins and also have the greatest number of bbPress plugins available with 0.9.0.5.
> Will most of the plug-ins or extensions for bbPress be available with those versions?
The majority of the plugins were designed to work for 0.9 and below. There are significant changes to the 1.0 RC that some plugin authors are not updating their plugins until 1.0 becomes finalized.

You should probably start a new topic for your “why do you need to register” topic.
@bzmillerboy – you can’t embed video here. You’re welcome to allow it in your forum, using a plugin, as described.
Sounds like you were using a plugin, Simple Online List:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/simple-onlinelist/
If so, what version of bbPress are you using?
If you disable that plugin, does the error go away?
[EDIT – I posted this AFTER atsutane posted, but that reply was in the spam queue erroneously, so this probably looks weird now that atsutane’s reply is visible

Did you ask for help on the plugin page?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-buttons/page/5/
Plugin authors typically see requests there even if they don’t see them here.
But if I remember correctly, that plugin just provided the buttons. You still need to provide a bbcode plugin for your installation. Something like this? https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-lite/
The theme and version of bbPress are not causing the problem. Thanks.
