In reply to: Confused about HTML Meta tags & SEO
Where were you expecting the keywords? Keyword meta tags belong in the
<head>section of the page. Are you talking about the admin interface or the source of the rendered page? I’m curious because I was thinking of using this as well.Has anyone, including yourself, posted the procedure or a how to on how this was accomplished? I would say a good 50% of the currentl questions in the forum are related to integration of [WP|WPMU]/bbPress and possibly BuddyPress. If it wasn’t that difficult, there wouldn’t be so many questions. Please point me and everyone else to a definitive guide on how to pull it off, and we can resolve all these troubling integration issues.
Thank you.
In reply to: Cannot begin installationIf you add /forums/license.txt to your domain (can’t type the whole domain from memory on this device) that file comes up, which means the files are installed in the correct location. So, my guess is that it IS something in the .htaccess or hosting control panel.
In reply to: Cannot begin installationAre you certain the bbPress files are in a subdirectory of your WordPress installation? Can you post a directory listing showing where the files are located?
In reply to: the “-1 years” thing as an occasional problemSo, every post that was made in an 8 minute span displayed -1 years for the time, but after a refresh, the elapsed time was accurate? How many posts and how many topics?
In reply to: the “-1 years” thing as an occasional problemSo, the time is only displayed inaccurately for a little while, then it displays the correct elapsed time?
How can we recreate the problem? Maybe it will happen on other forums too. I don’t think I’ve ever watched those times that closely before, especially if it corrects itself in a short while.
In reply to: the “-1 years” thing as an occasional problemCan you post the forum URL so we might see what’s happening?
In reply to: the “-1 years” thing as an occasional problemI’ve never seen it happen randomly. Is the database on a different machine than the web server?
In reply to: definitions needed for translation workHere’s my take on it, but I’m no guru.
- A topic is a collection of posts.
- A post is a single entry related to a topic. A post is also referred to as a reply.
- A discussion is a topic (I believe the two are synonymous.)
- A thread on some boards is a topic on bbPress.
- A forum is a collection of topics related to a subject.
- A bbPress installation can be a group of forums.
In reply to: How to move a post to a different forum?Really, it’s not that big a deal. It’s your forum, you can do what you want with it. Train your members now so you have less to worry about in the future.
I would just post a message after their post and tell them to post their reply in the correct place. After that, delete the errant posts, including yours. I don’t think it’s a big deal.
Regarding adding the feature to a future release, this ticket is from 3 years ago:
In reply to: How to move a post to a different forum?You can move a topic to another forum, but you can’t move a post between forums as far as I know (at least not with some built-in automatic tools.) In the past I’ve manually moved posts between topics as admin, then gone in and modified the last poster and poster id. It’s too much work, IMO. Just ask the original poster to create a new post then delete the original.
In reply to: Can’t Login in new installation.If you didn’t get the email, how did you get the password? I forget now if on installation it shows you the password. If it does, then please ignore this question.
What version did you install, and is it integrated with WordPress?
In reply to: localization is broken with deep-integrationWhat ticket number did you open?
In reply to: Secure Auth?@dss – what versions are you talking about?
Please file a ticket for this at https://trac.bbpress.org/
In reply to: Major problem with Topic PostsAre you using the “Admin can post anything” plugin? I heard that was causing a problem like this once.

I’ve heard of a single quote causing problems like this in the past but I don’t think we ever had enough data on the types of server, MySQL and PHP version, PHP config, etc, to figure it out.
In reply to: Please help – locked out of my own bbpress@englishlangprof please start a new topic for that question. Thanks.
In reply to: Help with installation andintegrationDoes *your* database, the one you’re using, support it though? Apparently, it does not, according to the error messages. Unless of course the error message is erroneous.
You can do this from a MySQL command line or phpMyAdmin once you connect to your database:
SHOW COLLATION LIKE 'utf8%';That will show you all collations that begin with utf8.
In reply to: One bbpress per blog in wordpress muI wonder how hard it would be to do something like a bbMU? Not hosted (like wordpress.com) but just like WMPU?
In reply to: One bbpress per blog in wordpress mubbPress was not built to work like that with WMPU. As for how to enable that functionality, I’m not sure. I think you would have to install bbPress on each blog. I’ve not heard of a way to have something like WPMU for bbPress (i.e. BBMU.)
In reply to: Help with installation andintegrationSounds like your database does not support
uft8_general_cicollation? Maybe you need to setdefine('BBDB_COLLATE', '');in your bb-config.php to something the server supports? Maybe you can look at the collation for the existing WPMU tables, and just use that in bb-config.php?Never seen this before, just guessing at a solution.
In reply to: Help with installation andintegrationTrac is a bug tracking application, found here for bbPress:
In reply to: Major problem with Topic PostsIt’s not recommended, but that doesn’t prevent people from recommending that you do it, and some people have done it as well.
In reply to: bbPress within WordPress themebbPress is not a plugin for WordPress, so what you’re looking for requires some work on your part. You need to create a theme for bbPress that mimics the look of your WordPress theme. We’re all spoiled with finding WordPress themes for free, pretty much all over the place. The same thing does not exist yet for bbPress themes, although there are a few bbPress themes that match their WordPress counterparts. If you have a WordPress theme you like already, you’re probably going to have to create a theme for bbPress that looks like that one.
In reply to: Major problem with Topic PostsWhat version of bbPress, and what versions of the plugins are you using?
