In reply to: Will I be able to switch Vbulletin?In reply to: Themes for both WP and BBP?
There is Revolution for both bbPress and WordPress:

I think if you look around you will find people who have released bbPress themes to match WordPress themes.

In reply to: “Advanced” search options — where and what are they?Also, _ck_ can’t you accomplish much of what you need without search in bbPress? I don’t miss it. If I am looking for something that I can’t find on a forum, even this one, I just use google site:bbpress.org/forums/ $whatever.
In reply to: “Advanced” search options — where and what are they?_ck_ – FWIW, I hate the vBulletin search layout.
In reply to: “Advanced” search options — where and what are they?In defense of bbPress, I think they went without search for a long time intentionally. It was not even included in the stock template until recently. The intention was that you could use tags to find specific content, click a member’s name to get all the replies they made and topics they started, etc.
For topics with no replies, there is a default view for that (look at the home page of this forum, near the bottom, to see it.) For other views, you probably want the My Views plugin by _ck_.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/my-views/
(look at the bottom right for all the views)
If your server supports mod_rewrite and .htaccess, you can make pretty permalinks work (if they work for WordPress, they can work for bbPress). You just need to follow the instructions.
And if bbPress is in a sub-directory of WordPress (collectibles-talk), then you will have two .htaccess files, or possibly all the rules in the WordPress-level .htaccess. The .htaccess you posted is the default WordPress one. You need more rules for bbPress.
Here is something about that:

In reply to: securityIf you need encryption, you could just access the forum over SSL, right, like https://www.example.com/forum/ -you’d need a SSL cert, but this would encrypt the traffic, correct?
Or are you trying to do something else?
The 40 users is not a problem for bbPress.
Looks like your host does not allow Options +MultiViews, or it conflicts with another .htaccess file, maybe the WordPress one?
Can you remove that line from your .htaccess and try adding explicit rules by accessing this URL for your site, then pasting those results into your .htaccess?

(I think you need to be logged in as keymaster for that to work.)
In reply to: Messed up WP and BB integrationIf the issue is with users only, maybe it’s because of how you integrated? An integrated installation would use the wp_users table, not the bb_ tables, right?
Looks like you have permalinks enabled but not configured. You can turn off permalinks in your admin (set them to none) or you can configure your server:
https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks
Try turning them to none first, to see if that truly is the problem.
In reply to: Messed up WP and BB integrationFrom the first error, it sound like the database connection details are incorrect. Are you using a socket connection to MySQL?
Looks like the forums are there?
In reply to: Replies not showing here immediately upon refreshOk, this is going to be weird. I replied to this topic prior to this reply, but it doesn’t show. So let’s see what happens when I send this reply…
In reply to: Replies not showing here immediately upon refreshInterestingly, I just replied to a thread, but it doesn’t show up. Then I added a couple tags to that thread, and they don’t show up. I know I did it all. I will check tomorrow to see if the content shows up. This is the worst I’ve seen. Normally it’s visible within 20 or 30 seconds. This has been a few minutes now.
UPDATE: after 5 minutes, now my reply is there and so are the tags. Weirdness.
In reply to: after install, several broken linksLooks like you have permalinks enabled but not configured. You can turn off permalinks in your admin (set them to none) or you can configure your server:
In reply to: Replies not showing here immediately upon refreshIn reply to: Parse error – Please Help!!You didn’t mention what version you installed. It matters for finding problems like this. It looks like it’s probably an Alpha release and the indication of an error on that line means there’s likely a problem on a previous line. My guess is that there is a syntax error in the BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY.
It helps to use an editor with syntax highlighting to see if this is the problem. Posting an edited version of the bb-config.php will not help because you will destroy the evidence in editing.
I have seen keys that work fine for WordPress, but not bbPress. Maybe that’s happening here. You might want to simplify your WordPress key then match the bbPress key to that. The WordPress API allows all sorts of weird characters in there (non A..Z a..z 0..9) and they’re properly escaped for WordPress but sometimes they don’t work with bbPress.
But I think that’s probably your problem, one of the bbPress keys. PHP reports the error on the next line it tries to parse I think.
In reply to: Can anybody help me?_ck_, I think in general people would be very happy if bbPress could live in a WordPress page, so you have WordPress header, footer, sidebar, look and feel. The menu item is the least of the problems usually. Everyone wants the look and feel of WordPress and right now that’s not the easiest thing to accomplish.
If bbPress were a plugin, which it’s not, it would accomplish what most people want.
In reply to: Locked Out of Forum!It looks like you have an extra db in there. So if your database is database, your tables are actually named database.dbusers, for example?
The default would be database.bb_users.
To change the table prefix your bbPress installation uses, there is a value in bb-config.php called $bb_table_prefix which is normally set to “bb_”. What is the value in your file?
To recover, you might want to rename all your tables using a prefix, then add that prefix to bb-config.php for
$bb_table_prefix. I think that would work.I think leaving the tables with no prefixes is a bad idea, because if you install other software in the same database, you might have a conflict with similarly named tables. Not every application behaves well and allows a table prefix. oscommerce used to do that (no table prefix, just tables with normal names that would step all over any existing similarly named tables.)
In reply to: Replies not showing here immediately upon refreshAlso, using Firefox 3, the page loads with the top of the page displayed, not the bottom where the named anchor would be, I suppose because the anchor is not there. When it’s working properly, it loads with your latest reply in view. When the reply is not there, the page loads with the top of the topic visible.
In reply to: Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_forums()Looks like you’re close already. You need to do some CSS work in style.css for your bbPress template. Just take one thing at a time. It’s probably paths to images and things like that that need to be adjusted.
In reply to: Replies not showing here immediately upon refreshI just thought to check the address bar to see if the proper reply number is being appended, and it is. So, the URL looks like:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/column-widths-topic-posts-last-poster-freshness?replies=2#post-21105But there is no #post-21105 (my reply) on the page. It’s just not there yet. Odd.
In reply to: Column widths (Topic, Posts, Last Poster, Freshness)You didn’t mention the version you’re using, but in Alpha 2, they’re not set. They are just table cells with no width. The will resize the fit the data. If you want to set them, for the front page anyway, the tables are generated in front-page.php. Just look for all the
<td>with no widths and adjust yours there.2.6.5 just replaced a couple files, none related to cookies, so I would guess that 2.6.5 is still compatible with Alpha. The issue with integration was related to the cookie change WordPress made with 2.5 and again in 2.6.
In reply to: Locked Out of Forum!If you substituted db for the name of your database in your example, then it appears you have no table prefix at all for your bbPress tables, or you used db with no underscore where the first db is the database name you edited out, then db is the table prefix, but it really doesn’t look like one. If you use phpMyAdmin to look at the database, you might find that you have bbPress tables there, but with no prefix or a db prefix (not database name, but just two characters db before teh table name). So, you’ll have your wp_ tables, then you will have a bunch of tables with names like:
dbusers
dbuser_meta
dbtopic
Can you look at the database and take a screenshot of the table structure and host that somewhere then link to it here? Maybe with that info, someone will be able to figure out what you did.
