In reply to: How do WordPress.org/bbPress.org’s tabs work?
oops johnjamesjacoby: must have missed your reply a month ago. I am using the Fold Page List plugin for WordPress. I suspect those classes come from that.

In reply to: 404 on login after wordpress integrationYou have the URI to the site wrong somewhere, I think. Your forum is here:
http://gpsobsessed.com/forum/bbpress/
But I think you want it in one of these two places:
http://gpsobsessed.com/bbpress/
So, somewhere it’s gotten mixed up. At the full URI, the path to the stylesheet is wrong as well, which is why it looks so strange there.
In reply to: Can 0.9.0.4 be intergrated with WP 2.7They can be integrated if you use one of these two solution to make the cookies compatible:

Yes the roles integrate in 0.9.0.4.
The private message plugin has nothing to do with WordPress – it’s a bbPress plugin. However, there have been some security issues with it recently and you might not want to use it right now until those are ironed out.

In reply to: Problem after installationMore than likely you have set up permalinks in the bb-admin but have not configured the webserver.

In reply to: Do I Need a Server?You can use and configure bbPress locally if you like, but it needs to be in a server environment. You need PHP, a web server and a database. It’s easiest to have it on the same type of system it will eventually be hosted on, to minimize problems when you go live, but it’s not essential.
On Windows there is WAMP:
On OSX (and for many other systems) there is XAMPP:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
On Linux, well, if you have that I don’t need to tell you what you have.
The machine you build, test and configure on doesn’t need to be on the Internet, but you do need to have a server environment to make this work.
In reply to: Create multiple forumsPlease do. These were just my uninformed opinions. The only place I thought might be helpful was in those “custom user tables.” If that works, and you can use subversion to update the filesystem, you’re in good shape, I think.
In reply to: Plugin allow-images.php, how do I get it to work?You just type in a complete image tag, the full html, and it should work. Like this:
<img src="http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif" />The plugin was sort of particular about the case of the file extensions; JPG did not work (IIRC) but jpg did. Also, some image hosting services that show images but don’t have an image extension on the URI won’t work with the plugin. The plugin looks for filenames ending in common image formats and allows those.
Also, the image needs to already be on the Internet already, hosted somewhere. If that’s not possible for your users, then you probably want the bbPress Attachments plugin:
In reply to: Create multiple forumsEarlier I tagged this a BBMU, which is sort what this was sounding like, bbPress Multi User (like WPMU.) That way, you have one installation to update, but multiple blogs (or in this case, forums.)
I don’t think that is currently possible. There was some work involved to create WPMU, although it reuses a great bit of WordPress code.
So, I think you are stuck using multiple installations of bbPress, or just using the built in Forums that exist in bbPress. If you use the built in forums that exist, then you don’t have to worry about logins working in all forums. The logins will work in all forums because it’s all just one forum.
But, to have multiple bbPress installations, but just one user database, you might want to investigate the advanced database options upon installation, in step two where they talk about user integration.
Custom user tables
Only set these options if your integrated user tables do not fit the usual mould of wp_user and wp_usermeta.
User database "user" table
The complete table name, including any prefix.
User database "user meta" table
The complete table name, including any prefix.I think here you would be able to enter the same settings for every installation of bbPress to point them all to the same user database. You could try it with two forums to see if that works.
Also, managing 10 forum installations is not too bad if you have command line access to use something like subversion. Then it’s just a matter of doing an
svn uporsvn swand accessing the update in a browser. You can do 10 or 20 installations pretty quickly. It’s even faster when there are no database changes. Then it’s just svn updates.In reply to: Placing the bbPress forum within a WordPress Page?If you’re looking at monetizing, maybe you have the ability to pay a programmer to accomplish what you’re looking for? Everything you’re looking for is doable (except making bbPress work like a WordPress plugin), but it might not be on anyone else’s radar right now. That’s not to say it can’t be done or won’t be done, but your priorities might be different from those maintaining the software packages.
In reply to: Create multiple forumsIf you want 10 separate sites, you can have 10 separate installations of bbPress, and they can all use the same database. You just need to use a different table prefix for each one (instead of the default bb_.) But, are you going to need to share anything between the different installations? If so, then this is not the way to go.
I think this is due to the server using PHP4:
What version bbPress did you install, did you integrate with WordPress, and what software is the server running?
I don’t know of a way to incorporate bbPress into a WordPress page. It’s not a forum plugin for WordPress. You can make them look the same and use some of the same functions, but bbPress is never going to live in a WordPress page. (I know, never say never, but…)
Who wouldn’t? I don’t want PM in my forum. I prefer it in a plugin.

In reply to: Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp()Just remove any line you added to bb-config.php or wp-config.php that includes the other program. If you added a line to include bbPress in WordPress, or added a line to include WordPress in bbPress, in the config files, just comment them out and see if this still happens.
In reply to: error when logging outActually, if it’s this plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/simple-onlinelist/
There are lots of people with the same issue, or there were lots of people a year ago. Looks like it always tries to use
bb_as the table prefix instead of $bbdb (i.e. $bbdb->online). Take a look at some of the replies.In reply to: error when logging outLooks like you’re using the bb-online plugin. Does this still happen if you disable that plugin? My guess is the plugin hard coded the
bb_table prefix when it should be using $bbdb.In reply to: Fatal Error installing in v 2.7.1bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress. Get it out of your WordPress plugin folder. It does not belong in
/home/m4inform/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/it belongs here/home/m4inform/public_html/wordpress/bbpress/as a sub-directory of WordPress.In reply to: Announcement BoardIn your template files, wherever there is a call to
post_form();just change it topost_form('Custom Title Here');– you can even put a space in the single quotes and not have any title at all. The “New Topic in this Forum” is part of bbPress, but you can override it in your template wherever post_form is called.In reply to: “Parse error: syntax error” in the Step 1Directories are good at 0755; php files should be 0644.
Glad you got it sorted.
