In reply to: I’ve bodget it up.. how to integrate design?
That’s a very common question. You might start here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/integration
There’s no way I know of to just put a bbPress forum in a WordPress page.
In reply to: Another newbie in installing BBPRESSThere are 2868 lines in that file. You’re missing from line 2125 to line 2868.
You might want to make sure all the files were uploaded properly to prevent unforeseen problems down the road.
In reply to: Can’t find admin panelYou could probably change it in the database if you access with something like phpMyAdmin. Otherwise you used to be able to set this in bb-config.php, but I’m not sure if this still works:
$bb->name = 'Short Forum Name';If not, you could just edit the header.php template file to not even display the site name on the site until you can log in and change it in the admin panel.
Just remove this line long enough to log in and change the Name setting:
<h1><a href="<?php bb_uri(); ?>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a></h1>In reply to: Basic problems of a noviceYou will be able to delete spammy WordPress comments through the WordPress admin, but you can’t log in there. You need to reset your WordPress admin user password and undo the integration.
In reply to: Auto Tag GeneratorYou could use what NYT uses, that sometimes annoying function that opens a search when you click on any word on an article page. I think it’s from answers.com.
Try clicking a word in an article on this page to see what I mean:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/22/business/media/22warner.html
When you click a word, you get a little [?] icon, and clicking that brings up a search for that word.
Here’s the JavaScript (I think):
http://graphics8.nytimes.com/js/common/screen/altClickToSearch.js
You could use *something* like that to accomplish what you want to do. The post would not necessarily look like all links.
In reply to: What version of bbPress is recommended for WP2.7?Do not install the 0.9.0.3 version. It won’t integrate at all with 2.7 If you don’t need integration, then use 0.9.0.3 since it’s considered stable.
In reply to: Members can add tagsThe member id is recorded in the database when the tag is added, so if it’s a member doing inappropriate tagging, you can deal with them individually. Normally, regular members won’t sh*t where they eat. It’s not something I would worry about. Instead, install _ck_’s Human Test plugin to keep bots from registering right off the bat.

Also, I think it’s been like this for a while with tags, going back to the 0.73 release I think.
In reply to: Basic problems of a noviceIs the WordPress site online somewhere, where these bbPress comments are being sent? If you did integrate a newer version of WordPress (2.6 or newer) with bbPress 0.9.0.2, that is the problem. There are significant changes between version 2.5.* and 2.6.* WordPress that make integration with specific versions of bbPress important:
First post here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101
WordPress 2.6 came out July 15, 2008<a/>.
In reply to: Basic problems of a noviceSounds like you are using bbSync then, to create comments at WordPress when someone posts to the bbPress forum? I didn’t know bbSync worked like that, but it’s possible. So it sounds like someone posts in the forum, somehow that gets into WordPress, you get an email to moderate the comment, but you can’t log in to your WordPress admin panel?
What version bbPress and WordPress are you using? It sounds like you have incompatible version installed and your WordPress admin login no longer works due to integration? What versions did you install? Sounds like bbPress 0.9.0.2 – how about WordPress version?
In reply to: Calling to theme location<?php bb_active_theme_uri(); ?>In reply to: Basic problems of a noviceAre you talking about bbPress or WordPress? There is no email notification of comments in bbPress unless you set it up for email notification of your favorites. Did you do that, or are you talking about WordPress?
It sounds like you’re talking about bbPress and WordPress, but they’re separate, and I can’t even see where you have WordPress installed?
Are the emails coming from bbPress or WordPress, and what is the URL for moderation?
In reply to: Basic problems of a noviceSo, what is your next question? Ask one question about your bbPress installation and we’ll work on that.
If you would like to prevent spammer registrations, I would install the Human Test plugin by _ck_:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/
If you would like to install Bad Behaviour, there was a How To posted a while back:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bad-behavior-for-bbpress-howto
And using the built in Akismet (plugin may need to be activated in your installation) will help as well.
In reply to: links and code get converted in postsPut the items you don’t want converted in backticks(under the ESC key on US keyboards) or <c ode> tags.
Like this:
<a href="http://www.google.com/" title="visit google">Google</a>That was posted inside backticks.
In reply to: Basic problems of a noviceLooks like you resolved these already, eh?

In reply to: Basic problems of a noviceYou mentioned WordPress administration? Where is the WordPress site? I didn’t see it here: http://www.kanigerlandis.com/
In reply to: visible topics depends on number of member postsI think it’s always preferable to use a plugin rather than modify core files. It makes upgrading much easier.
In reply to: Basic problems of a noviceI think you need to solve one problem at a time.
Is your forum installed now? If so, where? Please post the URL. One issue at a time. Nothing is hopeless.
In reply to: bbPress 1.0-alpha-4 releasedWow, this thread has attracted some really well-known (infamous?) WordPress people.
In reply to: Blank Page at Step 2 Of InstallationFrom those additional errors, I think it would be good to contact the host. It might all be related to security on the server (selinux or suhosin or some php configuration?)
In reply to: Link WP and BBI think I would ask about that here:
http://ericlbarnes.com/inove-for-bbpress/
Looks like a very nice theme with some neat tricks.
In reply to: Trac linking in the support forum@_ck_ <p> tags were not stripped in the backticks above.
In reply to: Trac linking in the support forum<div>
<h3>Backtick test</h3>
<p>This is in a P block</p>
This is not
<?php echo bloginfo(); ?>
</div>In reply to: bbpress is slow like godaddy says?I tried creating that test.txt file first and it failed with the same problem. Looks like someone else got the information you needed anyway.
In reply to: Blank Page at Step 2 Of InstallationIt sounds like the blank screen is from a 500 Internal Server error. Maybe there’s a syntax problem in the bb-config.php?
You had this problem with the alpha and the stable release, same problem?
Are there other server error logs you can look at?
Or, how about this?

In reply to: bbpress is slow like godaddy says?Maybe someone who uses GoDaddy hosting has a Linux account there and can test _ck_’s NFS Detector™?
