In reply to: No Emails Being Sent – Anyone solve this yet?
It probably is due to being on a IIS server. We were able to get this working with SwiftMailer and an external SMTP server. What exactly did you try to get this working? Please post the URLs of what you tried. Thanks.
You could avoid emailing the password by displaying it upon account creation, or letting the user select their own password.

ATM I can’t find the plugin I thought existed to just display the password rather than email it.
In reply to: Adding a right sidebar to kakumeiWhen you say “copy” do you mean “have the wordpress sidebar in bbPress” so it will be dynamic, just like it is in WordPress? Or, will you just copy and paste the code for a static sidebar into bbPress and it will never change?
If you want the former, you need integration, and you need to include WordPress inside bbPress so you have access to WordPress functions, like get_sidebar();.
If you want the latter, you just need to modify your template files to include the sidebar where you want it, and then modify the CSS to allow the space to exist in your forum.
In reply to: Change Post Author?If it’s a one-time copy and paste type thing, why not just use phpMyAdmin and a query to update them all at the same time? I think people tend to create plugins they themselves have a need for, and so far there hasn’t been a big need for this. I’ve needed to do it a couple times, for reasons johnjamesjacoby mentions, but it’s pretty rare.
Did you try any of the WordPress-style tricks?
<?php $topics = get_latest_topics('exclude=3' ); ?>
<?php $topics = get_latest_topics( -3 ); ?>In reply to: Can’t Update ProfilesI think the answer is to find what’s different between the theme you installed and the default theme, and fix that. I can’t say what the difference is off-hand, but if this works properly with the default theme, then there’s something wrong with the theme you’re using.
In reply to: How long?I wouldn’t wait. There is no release date set that I am aware of.
In reply to: Can’t Update ProfilesWhat happens when you try to do those things?
What version bbPress did you install? If you integrated with WordPress, what version WordPress did you install?
Does the problem happen with the default theme?
What sort of hosting are you on, Windows or Linux or other?
In reply to: No Search Forums Field in Kakumei?It is included in the 1.0-alpha already. It’s not there by default in the 0.9.x version.
In reply to: How to change all table name to upper case ?/bbpress/bb-admin/includes/defaults.bb-schema.phpis where the table names are all set. But changing the names there is only going to change the name of the tables that are created. You would need to change every reference to a table to this new uppercase name. I can’t imagine how difficult that would be or what would happen with any plugin you install or what happens when it’s time for an upgrade.
What host is this that changes the table names (not the database name) to uppercase? I’ve never heard of such a thing. Is there a page on their site or an email from support describing their policy?
It’s ok to have a database name in uppercase, since you only reference that once, but tables names being restricted to uppercase sounds like a very strange thing to me.
In reply to: All member info and login gone!So, this table exists: wp_lvtwfff_usermeta
or this one: wp_usermeta
?
bbPress is looking for wp_lvtwfff_usermeta, but if it’s really named wp_usermeta bbPress won’t find it and will give the error you showed.
In reply to: Upload ProblemYes, I can’t imagine where you are trying to upload something and getting that mime error back. Do you have the “bbPress attachments” plugin installed?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/
If so, and that’s causing the problem, I suggest posting your issue in the forum for that plugin (URL above.)
In reply to: List of all new posts since last visitThere is a plugin called “my views” that has many view options:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/my-views/
Or there was “Posts since last visit”:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/posts-since-last-visit/#post-65
But that’s pretty old, not sure if it still works.
Or there was “Indicate new posts”:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/indicate-new-posts/
Both required “Simple online list”:
In reply to: Upload ProblemWhat version of bbPress are you using and are you talking about a specific plugin that allows you to upload?
In reply to: WP Super Cache doesn’t work with bbPress ALPHA@ganzua – do you have examples of plugins that do that?
In reply to: How do you setup pagination?What version did you install? Pagination is built in in the 1.0-alpha versions.
In reply to: WP Super Cache doesn’t work with bbPress ALPHA> I read that WordPress wp-caching plugins should work
Where did you read that? I never had the impression that WordPress plugins would work when installed in bbPress.
In reply to: All member info and login gone!With a tool to look at the database, like phpMyAdmin, can you see if the table is still there?
harrismarineblog.wp_lvtwfff_usermetaThe lvtwff looks a little weird: did you really use
wp_lvtwfff_as your table prefix?In reply to: List all Tags?> Currently the only way to see who posted what tag is to do an SQL query
That’s not true. You can see who posted a specific tag by looking at the source of the page where a tag is displayed. In the source, you will see something like this:
<li id="tag-1785_278"The 1785 is the tag_id and the 278 is the user_id. If you want to moderate a user who is posting inappropriate tags, you have your id right there.
I learned this recently on these forums, but I can’t find the post that explained it originally.
> rather image replacements used on perfectly acceptable sites
I would say any perfectly acceptable site, which is OK with hotlinking, would NEVER do this. If you’re using their site against their terms of use (i.e. no hotlinking allowed) then they’re within their rights to serve whatever image they feel like.
I think if I had this problem I would tell my users that images will only be displayed from a whitelist of image hosting companies; no other companies will be allowed. Then, whitelist that site only. If it’s a perfectly acceptable/reputable site, which allows hotlinking, then they will never replace the image and serve something else. Of course, your users should not be hotlinking in the first place, and because you allow it, you have this problem. Allowing uploads to your server with the bb attachment plugin eliminates the issue of images being replaced and displayed to your members. You mentioned copyright issues: well, if your members don’t have the right to use the image in the first place, they shouldn’t be loading it onto an image hosting service anyway: the copyright problem exists there as well.
I suspect you could start out with a small whitelist or blacklist and see 80% of the problem go away very quickly. There’s probably a “good enough” solution. Do something, don’t overthink it.
My 2¢
In reply to: synchronisation bbpress wordpressWhat versions of bbPress and WordPress did you integrate?
I think this is because the server is using PHP4. I believe you need PHP5 for that to work in that release. It’s been fixed in the latest trunk.

Offer hosting for the images for your members so you stop them from hotlinking.
In reply to: JavaScript Broken – Integration IssueYou should add a ticket at trac and then attach your patch. I don’t believe too many people have commit permission on the repository (i.e. mdawaffe and sambauers only, I think.) They will review the ticket and the patch and apply it if appropriate.
In reply to: user compatability with WP plugin Register Plus?If there is none there, then yes, you need to create one. Be sure it starts with a period:
.htaccessThat indicates a hidden file on Linux/Unix.
In reply to: user compatability with WP plugin Register Plus?The only special thing to know is if you make a syntax error in the file, your site won’t load. So, make a backup first, then make your change. If the site comes up, then the syntax is good.
You can also validate the .htaccess file before you save it:
