In reply to: Slash text issue in 1.0-alpha-6, have searched
Or a language file issue. I seem to recall that using a different language file caused this too. Maybe it’s a combination: different language AND integration, or different charset AND integration.
In reply to: Slash text issue in 1.0-alpha-6, have searchedI think he means that quotes and apostrophes are displaying with a in front of them. Like it’s being escaped and never un-escaped.
So, instead of “It’s Great” you would see “It’s Great” on display.
The issue in the past only occured when integrated with WordPress, IIRC.
I would avoid editing core files.
In reply to: pretty permalink type change gives me a 404 errorYou need to create a file called
.htaccess
in your forum root. Be sure the file starts with a period, and this only works if you’re on an Apache-based web server. IIS will not repond to this.Point your browser to
bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php
and paste the output of that screen into the file called .htaccess in your forum root. Now change the setting in the bbPress admin. Hopefully all will be well with that setup, but if not, post here.For example, if your forum is at
http://www.example.com/forums/
then you need to point your browser tohttp://www.example.com/forums/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php
and grab the output of that to paste into your new .htaccess file. Also, I think that only works if you’re logged in as keymaster. I don’t think you can just do that on any bbPress site.Also, you might need to put this at the top of your .htaccess file:
Options -MultiViews
Some hosts won’t work without that (like mine for, 1and1.com).
In reply to: Bug, when editing message titlePermalinks are just that – permanent. I don’t believe the permalink will change even if you change the topic title. I don’t think that’s a bug, I think that’s intentional.
For example:
In reply to: This forum tagline is tell us what you are thinking?Interesting… ( I wasn’t the one who deleted it. )
In reply to: Settings label gone after integrationLooks to me like you are not logged in as keymaster, but as administrator maybe. That means bbPress does not know you’re keymaster and the WordPress user you logged in as does not have the proper permissions.
In reply to: Query to get wp page menu in bbpressThis looks pretty similar to what you are doing:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/latest-wordpress-stories
It’s latest stories not a page menu, but still, it’s querying WordPress from within bbPress.
In reply to: Search button far from input boxLooks fine in Firefox 3 or IE7 on Windows XP.
Does it happen with the stock theme?
Does your HTML validate?

My guess is that it’s improperly marked up code causing it to do that to you. For example, you are using an unordered list
<ul>
in the sidebar, but you’re not using any list items<li>
. That will surely cause problems. I’d fix the invalid markup before trying to fix this specific layout issue.In reply to: Plugin Development DocsThere is no documentation for it really, at this point. It’s easiest to just look at existing plugins, and if you’re familiar with the way WordPress plugins work , bbPress works similarly.
There have been a couple of attempts at listing bbPress functions:

In reply to: WordPress 2.7 optionsHere’s a good reason from the WordPress release archive:
“None of these are safe to use, except the latest in
the 2.7 series, which is actively maintained.”
If someone was using a version earlier than 2.7.1 and got hacked, the WordPress forums would be all over them to upgrade and telling them getting hacked is their own fault for not staying up to date.
I run 2.7 vs 2.5 because the admin interface is so much better, IMO. I know some people hate it, but any time I use the admin of a WordPress site prior to version 2.7 I look at it and wonder how I got anything done.
I don’t think criticizing people’s choice to run the latest version of WordPress is helpful in getting bbPress on board with supporting it. 2.5 was released back in March 2008 and presumably work on 2.6 started around that time. That’s almost a year now that bbPress has had a chance to get cookie compatible with 2.6 and later. The alpha versions are compatible, but alpha is bleeding edge and unstable for production use. So, saying alpha is cookie compatible doesn’t help either, since that’s not been recommended for production use by anyone. You can look at alpha and see that 1.0 WILL be compatible, but WHEN?
I mean, bbPress docs still mention that it should integrate with the latest version of WordPress in the 2.5 series, and tells you how to deal with running OLDER versions. That’s pretty sad for software that focuses on “ease of integration” with WordPress.
Now, all this aside: I still can’t figure out why people want integrated logins, why they have users that both post to a blog and post in a forum. But, I don’t ask why. You can push the software around however you want. I don’t understand that but I do understand the frustration with not being able to get that to work.
Frustrations two and three:
2. getting bbPress to look like WordPress (that’s integration to many people)
3. setting up permalinks does not work like WordPress (you make the change in WordPress admin and WordPress modifies the .htaccess file. bbPress does not.)
Fix those things and the number of support requests here would be cut in half, possibly more, and we could focus on pointing people to or creating cool plugins to do everything they want to do with bbPress.
In reply to: WordPress 2.7 options> Has anyone worked out the details in running WordPress 2.7
> with the current stable release of bbPress 0.9.x?
Not that I’m aware of. There was a reply describing someone going through the WordPress code to see what needed to change. I can’t find that reply right now.
In reply to: Should I switch from MyBB 1.4?I find it easy to manage, and plugins generally provide all the functionality you need, but it is unstable right now there is no release date set for 1.0. So, plan on frequent updates, and, if you install 1.0 alpha, you might have trouble finding plugins that work with it since many of the plugins were written for older versions.
Explain “problems with plugins” on MyBB. Maybe the same problems exist with bbPress.
In reply to: How to get WP usermeta data in bbpress?This was a discussion of getting bbPress data in WordPress:
Here is a way to get the latest WordPress posts and use them in bbPress; I imagine you could just do something similar to get with wp_usermeta:

There have been a couple performance related discussions on these forums as well:

In reply to: Where is the Page slugIf your WordPress site is http://www.example.com/ and you installed bbPress in a directory called ‘forums’ one level below that (i.e. you created a directory called forums inside the WordPress directory, on the same level as WordPress folders wp-admin, wp-includes, wp-content) then your slug is ‘forums’, and it’s accessed at http://www.example.com/forums/ .
Now, if you’d like to have a hierarchy like
Home
Forums
Other Stuff
Some More StuffThen you need to create a child page with a slug of “forums” and a title of “Forums” and make the parent page “Home”. It’s all done within WordPress.

In reply to: Safari – Can’t log outIn reply to: Need one special User RoleIn reply to: mysql_connect() can’t connect through socketAlso, looking at the path to the files, it appears they are using NFS which has generally poor performance (SLOW) for software like bbPress and WordPress.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-is-slow-like-godaddy-says#post-21750
In reply to: mysql_connect() can’t connect through socketWhy didn’t you set a host name when installing? It’s on the same page as the database name, username and password, it’s just not shown by default. I think it’s a link that says something like “show advanced database settings.” I wouldn’t modify the core at all to connect to the database.
The error comes from not having a host name and the software trying to connect to localhost via port 3306, but that’s not where your database lives, it’s on a machine called
internal-db.s41093.gridserver.com
.In reply to: Settings label gone after integrationIs it there and you just can’t see it because it’s obscured by something in the header, or is there some other problem? What theme are you using?
In reply to: 404 errors login errors — help!Yes, that’s permalinks and what you did is what I expected would fix it. Are you having any other problems?
If you ever want pretty permalinks set up, you can follow this:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/created-a-new-forum-but-profile-viewedit-not-working#post-24005
In reply to: Custom URLsThere was also this more recent discussion. Read the post from sambauers:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/important-notice-about-10-alpha-7-and-_ck_-plugins#post-23813
In reply to: 404 errors login errors — help!Sounds like several problems that are all fixable. First, I would turn off permalinks until you set them up properly:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/created-a-new-forum-but-profile-viewedit-not-working#post-24005
I would do that first so you can actually work with your forum.
Also:
- What version bbPress did you install?
- Did you integrate with WordPress and if so, what version?
- Does this happen with the stock them?
- Does this happen with no plugins enabled?
- What server software, PHP version, MySQL version are you using?
If you can start with the permalink issue (I think) and then answer some basic questions, I think we can get it sorted without reinstalling.
