In reply to: Problems logging in
What other plugins are you using, and what version of bbPress are you using?
In reply to: Some links give me err 404In reply to: EeePC small screen problemsCan you check your Apache access log and see what the browser User Agent is, so you can detect that and then craft some CSS specifically for that (or all) browsers?
This thread covered someone detecting mobile browsers and then serving up a different theme:

In reply to: bbPress 1.0-alpha-6 releasedIn reply to: phpBB to bbPressI assume you’ve already been through these:

What version of bbPress are you talking about?
In reply to: EeePC small screen problemsYou need a layout that works on a smaller screen then, that’s all.
It’s really hard to see the problem in that tiny screenshot.
In reply to: WordPress Permalinks in BBpressTo use WordPress functions (like wp_list_pages), you need to include WordPress in your bbPress. For something simple like this, I was hoping you could get away without doing that since it’s not recommended and at this point I’m not sure if it even works very well. The other problem with integration like that is that you need to integrate the Alpha version of bbPress with WordPress version 2.5 or newer. You’ve already installed 2.7 and 0.9.0.4. I’m not certain what that achieved since the logins won’t be shared between those versions.
I don’t know if there’s a good answer for this, which is why I suggested hard coding it, at least for now.
In reply to: Hacked?There is going to be *something* logged for a 500 error unless the server config is such that it just isn’t logging anything. I don’t think you’ve looked hard enough to find the Apache or PHP error logs. That’s what you need, first.
In reply to: “pretty” permalinks in bbPressThere is no restart required for modifying an .htaccess file: Apache reads that for every access.
The permalinks are not related to PHP4 vs PHP5.
The permalink stuff is definitely 100% right now, at least for the 0.9.x series.
I’m assuming you made the change in the admin to turn on the permalinks, in conjunction with adding the .htaccess rewrite rules?
I had to insert this into my .htaccess to turn OFF the multiviews before the rewrite rules would work:

Sounds like the plan is to allow what you’re looking for in future versions:
https://bbpress.org/blog/2008/10/bbpress-10-alpha-2-released/
You used to be able to use bbSync to do this, but that was prior to the 1.0 alpha versions.

I’m not certain how you do this with the Alpha versions
In reply to: WordPress Permalinks in BBpressIt would be easiest to hard code them if they don’t change very often.
_ck_ described how to get bbPress information inside WordPress. Maybe something similar would work in an opposite fashion to get WordPress information inside bbPress:
In reply to: Hacked?You should look in your server logs to see if there’s a server error causing the blank screen. The page is serving a “500 Internal Server Error” so something has happened and looking in the web server logs will help pinpoint the error.
You could also use FTP or SCP to see what the status of the files is on the server. But I would start with the server logs to see what’s causing that 500 server error.
In reply to: Double posts?I don’t believe you can delete a post of your own as a member, you can only edit it.
In reply to: How to create “Important Notices?”What do you mean an “Important Notice”? Do you mean a topic that is “sticky”, stuck to the top of the front page or top of a forum? If that’s what you mean, just create a post as keymaster, then after it’s posted, look at the bottom of the page, and you will see [Stick topic (to front)]. Click “Stick topic” to make it sticky and keep it at the top of the forum it’s in. Click “to front” to stick it to the top of the front page, which is useful if it applies to more than one forum.
Yes, probably. You can see if that’s the problem by logging in as keymaster and going to the Admin section, then Settings > General (sometimes this is the URL http://wat2.com/bb-admin/options-general.php). Once there, change “Pretty Permalink Type” to “None” and then try your forum. If your forum is usable after that, then yes, it’s because bbPress is trying to use permalinks, but you have not set up the .htaccess file with rewrite rules.
You can create the rewrite rules by accessing this URL in your forum:
http://wat2.com/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php
Now, take the output from that browser window and paste it into a .htaccess file in the forum root (
/home/web/htdocs/whatever/wat2/.htaccess) on your server. Once that’s done, change the permalink setting back to one of the other two options (Numeric or Name based) and then try accessing topics and the profile page in your forum.https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks
(I don’t recommend the
Options +MultiViewsline, but that does work for some people instead of creating the rewrite rules in the browser). Be sure you’re logged in as keymaster before you try to access http://wat2.com/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php or it won’t work.In reply to: How to create a message for non-logged in usersUse
<?php if ( !bb_is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>then if that comes back true (they’re not logged in) display your message.Examples of this can be found in the front-page.php template file.

Yes, you want the hidden forums plugin:

So long as the server has PHP and MySQL, and can send email, then it will be fine. If it can’t send email, then there are plugins to use an external SMTP server.
In reply to: Databose functionsHow did you add the karma to your users? Was it a plugin?
