In reply to: bbPress 1.0-alpha-4 released
bbSync doesn’t work with the latest version of anything. What version bbPress did you install, and what version WordPress?
In reply to: “Database failed to install”What version are you trying to install?
What host setup are you using? PHP and MySQL versions? Apache, IIS, Linux, Windows?
Have you tried installing without integration?
Have you tried installing in a directory rather than a subdomain?
In reply to: How to enable (gr)avatar support?I think for 0.9.0.2 it comes in the form of a plugin. In the 1.0-alpha versions, it’s built in. Look here for a plugin for 0.9.0.2
https://bbpress.org/plugins/tags/avatar
https://bbpress.org/plugins/tags/gravatar
Looking at the compatibility with versions, maybe there is not one for 0.9.x.
In reply to: How to get users to be able to post in forumsYour users do not need to be admin to post in your forums. I created an account in the forums and was able to make a test post. Take a look at the permissions I have there. I did not create an account on the website, just the forums.
In reply to: Installing bbPress 1.0 Alpha 4This would be good as a bug report at http://trac.bbpress.org
In reply to: How to get users to be able to post in forumsIs your only issue that people who are already registered on the website cannot post in the forum? The forum does not know they’re a member and are already logged in?
In reply to: ETA of bbPress 1.0 ?https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/when-bbp-10-release
I wouldn’t count on it soon, but someone else might be able to chime in with a better estimate than “later”.
In reply to: How to get users to be able to post in forumsYou’ve stumbled onto one of the great mysteries of bbPress and WordPress working together: integration. It’s a work in progress.
In reply to: How to get users to be able to post in forumsWhat version of bbPress did you install?

In reply to: adding scripts to headerHow about using the full URI to the javascript? In your script tags, you can use a template tag to add the template path including where you stored the files. Once you are sure they’re referenced properly and actually being loaded, you can go from there.
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bb_active_theme_uri(); ?>js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bb_active_theme_uri(); ?>js/jquery.accordion.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bb_active_theme_uri(); ?>js/jqq.js"></script>And when you say “doesn’t work so far” do you mean it’s like the javascript is just not there, no action, or something else?
In reply to: How do I change font of Hot Tags?The default install has a single topic (“Your first topic — First Post. Woot!”) that is tagged
bbPress. If you deleted that but the tag persists, you might need to go into the admin and Manage > Recount/bb-admin/site.php. There is one checkbox there that says “DELETE tags with no topics. Only functions if the above checked.” Try that.In reply to: adding scripts to headerWhat do you mean does not work? What appears in the
<head>section of the rendered pages? Post your edited header.php as well.And you should probably use
bb_enqueue_script(or maybe it’swp_enqueue_scriptdepending on the version you’re running.) That prevents loading a script more than once, I believe.In reply to: Installation Complete…BUT…Forum “Page Not Found”I wondered only if the permissions or ownership on the index.php file were wrong. Never used a Windows server so I’m not sure if that’s a good guess or not.
In reply to: Installation Complete…BUT…Forum “Page Not Found”If this is a Windows server, I don’t think the .htaccess file would matter.
I get a 404 when I try to access this (should be200 OK or maybe 302 Redirect):
http://www.beardownarizona.com/forums/index.php
But this does not error out:
http://www.beardownarizona.com/forums/forum.php
File permissions or ownership?
In reply to: Installation Complete…BUT…Forum “Page Not Found”If you contact me off list I can help you resolve it.
How about an .htaccess file in the root directory?
In reply to: Installation Complete…BUT…Forum “Page Not Found”Pretty interesting. This image is in the right spot:
http://www.beardownarizona.com/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/images/page_header_bblogo.png
So some of it is where you think it is. Maybe there’s no index.php file in the forums/ directory? Maybe there’s an .htaccess overriding the settings causing trouble?
In reply to: How to install bbPress, WordPress already installedThis:
<li><a href="http://forums.beardownarizona.com/" title="Visit the forums"></a></li>The
bloginfojust grabs the url of the site in case you ever move to another domain name.In reply to: New installationHow do you ensure? Well, you can look at your wp-config.php and see what the table prefix is there. If you didn’t change it, it’s wp_. bbPress uses bb_ by default. If you don’t change either of them, they will go properly into separate tables in the same database.
There is something simple going wrong with the connection details. It really is as simple as the username, database name, password and host. I think they call the host “advanced database settings” in the installation. If you click that, I think it unhides the table prefix setting and the host setting. I always have to change the host in my installations, so to me that’s not an advanced setting. WordPress recently changed the terminology of that (it used to say something like “99% chance you won’t need to change this”) to something like “get these details from your host.” Maybe you just need to enter the host setting and you are not seeing where to do that.
I’m guessing it’s the host setting you’re not entering, since it’s not visible on the installation screen. If it’s different that localhost in your wp-config.php, my guess is that’s the problem. You need to set that for bbPress.
In reply to: How to install bbPress, WordPress already installedIn that Autumn Almanac theme, you can add a link in menu.php. It can easily be before or after the link to Home, of after all the pages that are listed (so, end of the line.) Just add this to menu.php right after
<?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li='); ?>:<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/forum/" title="Visit the forums"></a></li>That will add an additional list item right after all the rest of the pages in your menu.
You could also do it by creating a page called Forum and then just redirect the content of that page to your forums. That way you could control the page order and have it appear in a place other than the beginning or end of the menu.
You didn’t mention what version of bbPress and WordPress you’re trying to integrate. It matters. Looks like you are using WordPress 2.6.3 – I don’t know how to properly integrate the logins with any version of bbPress. If you spend some time looking through these forums, you will see people who’ve had trouble with integration. Maybe someone else can help you with that.
In reply to: bbpress is slow like godaddy says?I’ve never seen a hosting company visit a forum topic before, much less post there. It would be really cool if more companies did that. I won’t bad rap GoDaddy so much in the future if they’re really willing to resolve this on their end, if it’s their trouble.
In reply to: Windows (Apache2/PHP/5.2.6/MySQL5.1.30)Re-reading your initial post, I recall this was mentioned in the forums here (at least) once before.

In reply to: Windows (Apache2/PHP/5.2.6/MySQL5.1.30)The only concern I have with modifying a core file is that the modification might be forgotten about, then when you upgrade (3 months, 6 months, a year or more later), something stops working and you’re left wondering why. I know you would never have that trouble, but I would caution anyone else from modifying core files and stick to using plugins to override functions that appear in pluggable.php. Upgrades are so much easier when you don’t need to keep track of what you modified in the core.
Thanks for the Windows feedback in any case.

In reply to: bbpress is slow like godaddy says?Seriously?
In reply to: Windows (Apache2/PHP/5.2.6/MySQL5.1.30)Good feedback on that system.
Better than modifying a core file (which won’t survive an upgrade) is to use a plugin that allows you to use an SMTP server:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/smtp-mailer-for-bbpress/
There are also threads in the forum about using Swift Mailer, IIRC.
