In reply to: bbPress 2.0 – Updates
Hi John,
Great work, I am really looking forward to being able to migrate my forums over to the plugin. Here is my experience so far: I installed the plugin (install went fine on 3.1.2) and then I tried to run the importer on my standalone install. I selected migrate users option and I received the following error as the second line of feedback during the import process:
“There was a problem duplicating the table bb_users to wp_users”
After which, my WP admin users were no longer in existence and when I tried to go back to the WP tools tab I was asked for a new admin login, which was rejected (slightly alarming because my WP install with all the themes and plugins off doesn’t do a heck of a lot). I rolled back to my database backup.
Edited: now I see that this was my fault because I overlooked the fact that the bbpress and WP databases have to be the same database. If the outcome of missing this info is breaking WP, would it be possible to do a check for whether bb_users are in the database before attempting to migrate them?
Thanks,
Halle
OK, I have gotten the redirection working by adding the following to the start of the htaccess for the forums directory before the bbpress business:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /forums/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/forums/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
Do you think there is anything else I’ll need to do in order to get my forums and my main site picked up by Google as being the same domain? Thanks.

Is it possible to use it with a different key on the same domain?

Hi Ben,
Thank you for your reply – if you give my question a quick re-read it starts from my already having gone to the posts tab and changed the filter to show posts with the status spam. Since I couldn’t see any of the 12 new spammed posts reported by Akismet there, it was at that point that I decided to ask here where they are sent to.
As I mentioned, I did have false positives, so the mystery 12 posts are pretty disconcerting since it is a low-volume support forum (i.e., any questions that get false positives or a mysterious disappearance tend to make me look like I’m ignoring or refusing people with support issues unless I notice them and restore them quickly, which isn’t possible in this case).

I have been forced to stop using it because the likelihood of false positive is quite high, since most forum members are verified. That is really a bummer that there is an existing bug with posts being marked as spam that are unable to be seen and now I’m wondering how many times it has happened that I haven’t noticed since I opened my forum.

OK, now it’s ticked up to 12 detected spam posts caught today, none of which I can see anywhere. This is not so good, considering that the other ones were false positives and there have been a bunch of legitimate new sign-ups today.
