I wanted to follow up on the end of this. Because the upgrade would never work, the time we spent trying to make this happen and the large amount of spam we received regularly, we decided to completely remove BBPress from our site. Thanks to those who tried to help.
On the last try I completely deleted everything in my forum folder. I uploaded all the new files, then copied up my bb-config file and my theme template. Same white page. I deleted the bb-config file and it forwarded me automatically to http://www.thrivepersonalfitness.com/forum/bb-admin/install.php which was also completely blank.
I downloaded all new files and my structure looks correct. I tried the upload again and I still just get the white screen. Anyone have a similar response? I have been trying off and on for over a month to get upgraded from 1.0.2 to 1.2 with no luck.
I am still unable to get this to upgrade.
No…I cannot access bb-login.php. You bring up an interesting idea, however. I have a rule in my .htaccess that redirects logins to wp-login and I have an integration plugin. I removed both of these and have the same problem (white screen). I seem to never get to the database upgrade screen.
I realize I need to upgrade first to 1.2, when I attempted this I just get a white page.
From this page https://bbpress.org/download/legacy/
I downloaded all three bunches of files, the 1.2 stand alone version of bbpress, I created a folder called backpress in my bb-includes folder and copied in the backpress files, and in the backpress folder I downloaded all the pomo files into a folder I called pomo. I then over wrote all the files on my server with these new files, I made sure I copied up a copy of my custom template files, but still I get the white page. bb-config is intact and fine. Thoughts?
