So, when you installed those plugins, and activated the plugins in your admin panel, what was the result? Are they active but not working, or activating them created errors?
In reply to: Single topic onlyYou might want to post a new topic with that specific question and we can delete this then. One issue per topic, please.
In reply to: Forum not visible but installed successfully.This problem has come up a couple times in the past couple days:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-10-alpha-6-released#post-22750
The function
do_actionexists in ./bb-includes/wp-functions.php. Do you have that file and is it complete? Is there a line (around 641, in 0.9.0.4 anyway) that starts with:function do_action ($tag, $arg = '') {
Is it possible that not all the files were properly uploaded?
In reply to: Single topic onlyIf it were me, (which it’s not
) I would use WordPress for this. Everything seems easier except for the comment moderation, but searching for comment moderation plugins for WordPress turned up a few options. So, I think I would narrow my search to WordPress plugins rather than trying to strip out 85% of the functionality that exists in bbPress.My 2¢
In reply to: Reply Post form only shows up at the last pageThat is intentional, I believe. I’ve always though it was that way because, do you really want someone replying before reading the whole thread? I always figured it was on the last page for that reason.
There is typically a link on the bottom of each page, that says Reply » – the » takes you to the reply form on the last page of the thread.
In reply to: Single topic onlyHaving built sites in both Joomla and WordPress, let me steer you toward WordPress.
You mention:
User Moderation
Comment Moderation
User Profile
User Moderation, not sure what you need to do that’s not built in.
Comment moderation is built in.
This plugin extends the built in user profile:

I have 10x more confidence that you could do this more easily with WordPress than Joomla and I think I would select WordPress over bbPress for this as well.
What did you see in WordPress that was a limitation for you?
In reply to: Error after uploadYou should probably post that comment on this thread:

In reply to: Upgrade advice needed.What are the security issues you are concerned with in 2.5.1?
There is no date I know of for releasing bbPress 1.0, and there has been an alpha release almost weekly, which means it’s a moving target as new things get addressed in every alpha release.
In reply to: Constructive Criticism: bbPress’s kryptoniteIt’s interesting to me when people say “absolutely essential” in regards to software.

The functionality is available in a plugin, it’s just not built into bbPress. bbPress’ philosophy is to leave stuff like that out of the core, and I’m glad for that. I don’t need it. If you do need it, install a plugin. Or, if you disagree with the philosophy, you’re free to install other forum software that more closely aligns with your needs.
Now, if we want to talk about the lack of documentation, telling you how to do all these things with bbPress, well, that’s a whole different story. I’ve heard before that there probably won’t be much documentation before version 1 is released.
In reply to: Forum not visible but installed successfully.1. I don’t believe those versions will integrate. 2.5 goes with 0.9.0* and 2.6+ goes with the 1.0 alpha versions.
2. Where to find the logs depends on your host. Is there access to logs from your hosts control panel?
If you’re not a techie, adding the code for custom error reporting might be a bit over your pay grade, so I won’t post that. Right now though, if you are not seeing the forum, and it’s giving a 500 Server Error, you need to see what that error is to help resolve this.

In reply to: phpbb3 -> bbpress converterHopefully, with an active blog, you have a good database backup.
I’m confused on this point:
my bbpress tables are inside of wordpress (obviously)That’s not obvious to me, at all. Do you mean the bbPress tables are inside the same database where your WordPress tables are? That’s OK. You can put as much stuff as you want into a database, so long as you use different table prefixes for the different applications. For example:
WordPress: wp_
bbPress: bb_
Joomla!: jos_
etcYou can call your database whatever you want, then just keep loading tables into it for different application, like WordPress and bbPress.
If you integrated WordPress and bbPress, then your bbPress installation used two existing WordPress tables: wp_users and wp_usermeta. That’s to allow integrated logins.
Regarding where you put bbPress files, you said you put them into the phpbb directory. Does it look like this?
/var/www/htdocs/website/phpbb3/
/var/www/htdocs/website/phpbb3/bbpress/
If so, someone else recently found that bbPress finds an existing config.php (the one for phpbb3) and won’t go any further. In that case, just rename the phpbb3 config.php to something else for just a minute, so installation can continue.
There is some confusion about database names, table names and folders, for me anyway. Any information you can post to help clarify will help. Thanks.
In reply to: Error after uploadDid you resolve this issue then, by installing Alpha 5? Alpha 6 is out now, too.
In reply to: Constructive Criticism: bbPress’s kryptoniteThat is a really poor analogy. This isn’t Slashdot, so we don’t really need another car analogy, but, here’s one I think is more applicable:
It’s like creating a car that is beautiful, sleek and fast, but deciding up front that things like tinted windows, remote start and stainless tips on the mufflers should be possible, but will be supplied by the aftermarket, not delivered with the new car.

In reply to: Error after uploadWhich alpha version did you install? These backpress errors were present a few days ago but I thought they were fixed.
In reply to: Constructive Criticism: bbPress’s kryptoniteThere are plugins for this already, though:

This one is much older:
In reply to: Single topic onlyWhy not have a WordPress blog with a single page and comments allowed? With threaded comments in 2.7, it would be even better, IMO, for discussion. No one would be able to create new topics in WordPress.
In reply to: Help-plugins.What plugins did you install? URLs please.
Or, do you need help finding the plugins?
In reply to: Forum not visible but installed successfully.What version did you install?
I would not reinstall since that’s no magic bullet. Do you have access to PHP error logs? A blank screen indicating a 500 Server Error should be logged somewhere. It’s possible your server has a PHP function that’s been disabled, but is required by bbPress. In that case, reinstalling will not change a thing.
I would try to find an error log, or if that does not exist, turn on some custom error reporting.
In reply to: Add Register linkLooks like the text is actually provided by bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php, and the text depends on if you’re logged in or not.
Not logged in shows this:
('You must <a href="%s">log in</a> to post.')I’m not sure how you would modify that to display what you want, without modifying this core file. Modifying core files makes it troublesome to upgrade to new bbPress versions.
What version bbPress are you using?
In reply to: Need Feature (No Follow Links)In reply to: Any way to force “Approve all posts”There was this plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-moderation-hold/
Not sure if it still works, and not sure what version bbPress you are using.
In reply to: Add Register linkDepends on what page you’re seeing it on. If it’s when viewing a topic, you want to modify your template file topic.php and add the link to register.php there.
In reply to: Can’t get “Allow Images” to work???What is the actual code you are using to get an image into your post? Post it here in backticks (upper left of most keyboards, beneath the ESC key.) Does it look like this?
<img src="http://www.cssnz.org/flower.jpg" />Or, how about a link to your forum so someone can try it out.
In reply to: bbpress vs phpbb@eclipsenow – why not just use phpBB3 then?
