In reply to: How to use user metadata?
There was a plugin linked in this post:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-allow-additional-or-custom-profile-fields#post-5213
The download link still works.
In reply to: Not able to make new posts – database errorI believe the OPTIMIZE command in MySQL resets the auto_increment. If it happens again though, you need to figure out why. Maybe the “Post Edit Look Behind” plugin has something to do with it? I have no idea though, not having looked at that plugin. I would disable that first if it happens again.

Anything interesting there?
In reply to: WordPress “page” link to bbPress?To make the forum look like your WordPress theme, you need to create a custom theme for bbPress to match WordPress. Browse the integration tag here and you will see this is one of two things that people mean by integration:
1. user login integration between WordPress and bbPress
2. make bbPress theme look like WordPress theme
In reply to: Request to the experienced – what anti-spam tools?For 2+ years I have been using the Human Test plugin and nothing else. I have akismet turned off and also turned off bozo functionality. I get very little spam, like none in the past year. Preventing the spammer registrations seems to be key to keeping automated spam out of the forums.
Human Test puts zero additional load on the server.
In reply to: Mail is not going to user1. Create a directory on your server called
my-plugins– create it on the same level asbb-pluginsandbb-templates.2. Put the unzipped plugin files into that directory.
3. Access the bbPress admin and activate the plugin.
In reply to: Not able to make new posts – database errorI suspect a plugin; MySQL should not do that.
Also, exactly WHAT did you do with the WordPress plugin? Sounds like that just allowed you to access the database, but then what?
In reply to: threaded forum ?Wouldn’t WordPress do most of what you’re looking for? WordPress supports threaded comments now, so replies to a post take on the shape of a threaded conversation. Also, email notification of replies is built in. What are you looking for in bbPress that WordPress does not offer?
In reply to: Forum mysteriously can’t be createdIn reply to: Forum mysteriously can’t be createdWhat version are you installing?
In reply to: Not able to make new posts – database errorIn phpMyAdmin you can see what the next autoincrement value is going to be for post_id. I would look at the posts and order them by post_id to see the highest, then I would see if the next autoincrement value is going to conflict with that. If it is, just reset the autoincrement value to something higher, even if you skip some values.
You need something like phpMyAdmin or command-line mysql to take care of this. Do you have access to something like that?
In reply to: Not able to make new posts – database errorSounds like the auto_increment for the post_id got messed up? Can you look at the table in phpMyAdmin and see what the next auto_increment will be? Maybe you can reset it so there’s no conflict? I’ve never heard of this before, so I am just thinking about what I would do if it happened to me.
I have heard of key problems like that after upgrading versions, but you say yours has been OK for a couple months, so it’s not likely to be related to that.
In reply to: WordPress “page” link to bbPress?Ignoring the index.php permalink thing, which should be addressed at the wordpress.org forums, were you able to install a plugin that will redirect a page to a URL you select? Actually, it used to be necessary to use a plugin, but maybe now you can do it with php and a WordPress function or a template file. Were you able to get that part working?
In your template file called
front-page.php, find the section that outputs the table of forums (#forumlist) and make the cells taller or fixed width and variable height or something. It can all be done in your template files and your style.css.In reply to: WordPress “page” link to bbPress?If it doesn’t happen automatically by naming a page the same as your directory, then just use one of the page redirect plugins to direct the page to your bbPress installation. No need to rip it out and start over.
I’ve only seen the index.php permalink problem on Windows servers. What sort of server are you on?
From your other posts though, it appears that you already resolved this problem?
Andrew, for some reason all your posts were flagged as spam. If there are any more, please post here because there is lots of spam to go through and maybe one was overlooked.
In reply to: WordPress “page” link to bbPress?Yes, you should create a page with the same name as the directory where you installed bbPress. So, if you installed bbPress in a directory called
/forums/create a page called “Forums” with a slug of “forums” and WordPress will use that directory before it ever shows your blank page.If that does NOT work, there are simple plugins to redirect any WordPress Page to a URL, so you could use one of those if you wanted to do that instead.
Sounds like you need a shorter description or you need to use some CSS to change the size of the text, hide the overflow or break it onto 2 lines. Maybe you need to make the table cell taller. I don’t see a link to your forum so I can’t suggest exactly what CSS to change to make that happen.
In reply to: I ve been locked out the admin moduleWith bbPress you don’t access bb-admin directly. You log in with your keymaster account, and next to your name, if you are truly a keymaster (or someone with admin capabilities) you have a link to
Admin. Click that and you are in the bbPress admin. If you don’t have that link, then the account you logged in with is no the keymaster account.What version of bbPress are you talking about, and are the logins integrated with WordPress?
In reply to: functions.phpI don’t think there is:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/admin-panels-like-wp
I think most people create a single plugin and drop all their miscellaneous functions in there:

In reply to: Error “Invalid tag or topic” when removing tagWhat version of bbPress tribsel? And, is it integrated with WordPress?
In reply to: Mail is not going to userWhat version of bbPress are you using?
Is any other mail sent from the server?
Can you use a plugin like Instant Password to work around it?
This thread is pretty old. What versions are you integrating?
