    If you want to use any type of permalinks, you need to create the .htaccess file with the rewrite rules.

    Remove the second forum link/page.

    Hardcoding the first forum link in your WordPress header.php is fine. Without any styling, that means it will just be a link to your forum page, and inside WordPress, it would NEVER need to be styled as current, because you’ll never be in WordPress when you are in your forum, right?

    How are you getting the WordPress navigation in the forum? That’s where we need to focus on getting the current class on the forum page tab. If you’re including the WordPress navigation by integrating WordPress inside bbPress, then there needs to be a little work done on getting the current class on the forum tab (since you won’t actually ever be on a page called forum for is_page('forum') or is_page('190') to work properly from WordPress.

    That is way too complicated for what you want to do. Hurts my head just to look at it.

    The topics *don’t* appear in the admin. As keymaster, you can edit topics and posts in the front end, not back end (only forums and previously moderated posts and topics appear in the back end). Are you expecting something different?

    One point: if your database is on another machine, you will need to edit the advanced settings to put the host name in there. But that’s aside from this problem.

    If bbPress couldn’t write the file, then it’s probably a permissions thing. So, you created the file yourself. That’s OK. But maybe it’s in the wrong spot or has the wrong information in it?

    That’s weird – I never saw that wp(); before. I have no idea what to say in this case.

    What happens if you undo the integration, including whatever you included in the bb-config or wp-config to make them talk to each other? Does the problem go away?

    You have a syntax error in your bb-config.php file. If you have a text editor with syntax highlighting it will be easy to find. Don’t post an edited config here because in the process of editing you might destroy the information we need to figure out where the syntax error is.

    Can you start over WITHOUT creating the bb-config.php? Just let the installer do the work. You need to get rid of the bb-config.php and make sure there is a bb-config-sample.php and then just run the installer.

    You mean the size of the font, not the width of the box? I think you want to find this section in your stylesheet and experiment with some different values for line-height and font-size:

    form.login input {

    border: 1px solid #999;

    padding: 2px;

    line-height: 14px;

    font-size: 12px;

    margin: 0;

    }

    WordPress 2.7 (or anything after 2.5.1 really) does not integrate well for logins with bbPress 0.9.x., although I have heard recently of a couple different ways of getting the two to talk to each other.

    https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bayanimecom-wp26-and-bbpress-09-complete-cookie-integration

    https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/freshly-baked-cookies/

    Regarding user roles in 0.9.0.4, there is a user role map section to the bbPress admin where you can map the WordPress roles to the bbPress roles.

    I think you change it right in statistics.php, don’t you?

    $bb->static_title = __('Statistics') . ' «';

    It should probably be done with a plugin, but this is where that character is set.

    The latest stable bbPress (0.9.0.4) does not integrate nicely with WordPress 2.7.1.

    What does line 14 of wp-blog-header.php look like?

    I think it depends on the version of WordPress you’re installing. What version of WordPress are you going to use?

    No, it doesn’t work like that. Well, sort of. You could include inline CSS in the php files and that would overwrite the stylesheet. But in this case, the field is defined as a size of 13, but it’s not via CSS. You should do one or the other.

    If you had a definition in the CSS, like this:

    #user_login {
    width: 100px;
    }
    #password {
    width: 100px;
    }

    That would make those two fields 100px wide, so long as you got rid of the size="13" in the login-form.php. Now, if you put some inline style in the login-form.php, like this:

    <input name="user_login" type="text" id="user_login" style="width: 274px;" ...

    The field would be 274px wide, not 100px wide. That’s just the Cascading nature of stylesheets.

    Without messing with CSS at all, you could just change 13 in your template’s login-form.php to something wider to suit your needs.

    Best? Well, Alpha is not recommended for production sites since it’s in a state of flux. For stability, you want 0.9.

    When is 1.0 going stable? I don’t think there’s an answer for that yet:

    https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/10

    And re: RSS feeds for each forum: yes (any version.)

    BTW, I was just looking at line 22 in bb-config.php in the trunk. You didn’t mention what version of bbPress you installed.

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    I think the problem is with the secret key from WordPress. There have been problems in the past with characters that are allowed by WordPress causing problems in bbPress. If you can change it in both places, I would do that.

    My guess is you have a config error in your bb-config.php. Loading this page:

    http://www.atcv.net/bbpress/

    Gets me this error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/philipsh/public_html/bbpress/bb-config.php on line 22

    Line 22 is around the database password. Maybe the previous line is not quoted properly or is missing the semi-colon. My guess is that you have an error in that file and if you fix that, things will probably be OK.

    If you have a text editor with syntax highlighting, it will be easy to find the PHP syntax error that is causing this.

    Latest Alpha or latest stable? 0.9 series or the 1.0 Alpha series?

    1. You want to look at ./login-form.php in your template directory. Those fields are defined with a “size=13” – you can change that, or you could do it all in the stylesheet if you remove this from your login form.

    2. On Linux, all I use is a text editor and Firefox with the Web Developer Toolbar. I’ve never found a WYSIWYG HTML editor or IDE for Linux that I liked for modifying HTML , CSS or templates.

    Have you tried dumping all the cookies to be sure there is nothing left over fouling things up?

    2. You might want to allow the user to just pick their own password when they create the account:

    https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/instant-password/#post-2181

    Otherwise, they can just log in, go to their profile, click edit, then change the password. No plugin required; it’s built in.

    1. Are you having any other issues with the forum? It almost sounds like the URL permalinks are not working. Can you post a link to your forum? If not, why worry about the duplicate account? Just never use it and no one will ever know.

    You would need to change the ID to 3 in your case I believe.
