In reply to: bbPress Codex – lolz
That url has been mapping to buddypress for a while now… not sure what’s going on, but guessing it’s just random.
In reply to: Unable to view old postsThere was the exact same error messages reported here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/admin-panel-warning
Here was the solution:
It turned out that couple of topics in the topic tables didnt have topic start time.
It was 0000-00-00 00:00:00. It was probably from converting from phpBB.
I changed to start times and then there is no warnings anymore.
Do you have phpmyadmin? You could check the topic start times in the database maybe…
In reply to: Advanced 301 techniqueAbsolutely, you can edit your htaccess file to automatically rewrite the URLs using regular expressions:

In reply to: Adding Images from a PC to a Topic.The answer to the red X question should already be in the comments on that page… just browse through the comments?
In reply to: WP & bbPress integration: what would you do?That would greatly simplify the work involved!
In reply to: WP & bbPress integration: what would you do?Is it critical that a user have their old phpbb posts tied to their new WordPress/bbPress identity? Is it ok if their old posts are tied to their old username?
In reply to: WP & bbPress integration: what would you do?How much overlap between your userbase is there… how many of the 115 WordPress users also have phpBB accounts?
Also – if “Mister X” has two accounts (one on each system)… is it critical that the comments in WordPress and in bbPress be merged into the same account? Or would you be ok with having them be separate accounts…
In reply to: WP & bbPress integration: what would you do?The latest WordPress is definitely the most secure, b/c Automattic has not released security patches for earlier versions. But bbPress 1.0 is not clearly more secure than 0.9 – in fact, because bbPress 1.0 uses BackPress, it’s possibly less secure. Plus 0.9 has been stable for a long time, while 1.0 is new and still has a fair number of bugs.
Integration is easiest when you share a user table. It’s possible to integrate bbPress with other software (WordPress, or even something else) without sharing a user table but it’s not easy and there are no publicly released plugins which allow it.
How many users do you have on your WordPress install?
In reply to: Adding Images from a PC to a Topic.Ah the red X… the solution to that is mentioned in the comments of the plugin:
The Occupation field should have disappeared, and two new fields appeared… is that the case for you?
In reply to: phpbb3 -> bbpress converterNo, but I wouldn’t recommend using more recent builds of bbPress… since a lot of plugins aren’t supported in 1.0 yet. Unless of course, you don’t plan on using many plugins… then ymmv.
You can get user integration (complete with cookie support) between just about any two versions of bbPress and WordPress. Start a new thread with your questions around that, and we can all chip in and advise!

Good luck!
In reply to: Plugin Request: Garagegerikg –
If you want to write a post asking for plugin developers to bid on a project, you can do so here… but the forum policy is to just post your project description and your email and then a moderator will close the post:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-developers-wanted#post-39007
If you want to discuss the project in general, you can always do so… just a heads up on the forum policy around soliciting bids on a project.
In reply to: Adding Images from a PC to a Topic.Did you read all 16 pages of comments on the plugin page? There are some pretty helpful clues there!
Try making this line in the settings specific to your site… one user set theirs to this:
$bb_attachments=”/var/web/web1/user/web1_stroe/bb-attachments/”;
Ask your webhost what the exact path is to your HTML directory?
In reply to: phpbb3 -> bbpress converteradamkayce – It’s absolutely possible.
I’ve done it a few times now.
These links are hugely helpful:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integration-of-established-wp-and-bbpress-installations
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/successful-reverse-integration-steps
The hardest part of the integration is how to handle “name collisions”… i.e. what do you do when two users share the same usernames in bbPress (from phpbb3) and WordPress. That’s discussed nicely in the above links.
Good luck!
In reply to: Adding Images from a PC to a Topic.Yah sorry for any confusion – create a new folder called “bb-attachments” and put it in the HTML folder… and chmod it to 777.
In reply to: Adding Images from a PC to a Topic.I’d have to see your settings…
bb-attachments requires some careful admin of the settings… do you have a tech savvy friend nearby that can help out?
In reply to: Limit page views for guestsIf you’re looking for a point and click plugin that does this, it doesn’t exist AFAIK. You’d to commission someone to program it…
In reply to: Limit page views for guestsYou could have the browser drop a cookie and then track pageviews through that… then when the user hits a pre-set number of pageviews, a registration page could appear.
In reply to: Mail me after postAshfame – This is a _ck_ plugin that lets you one-click sub to a thread:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/subscribe-to-topic/
I use it on several sites, and it’s excellent.
In reply to: Adding Images from a PC to a Topic.Create a “bb-attachments” folder in in the HTML directory… then change the permissions on that folder to 777.
In reply to: Adding Images from a PC to a Topic.No the directory shouldn’t be under /my-plugins/… it should be higher in your directory structure.
You know the folder that your bb-config.php file is in? You should put /bb-attachments/ in the folder *above* that one.
In reply to: Adding Images from a PC to a Topic.Check out the comments on the plugin… it’s a bit tricky to configure since you have to make sure to create the upload directory about your webroot (for security reasons):
# make a directory /bb-attachments/ ABOVE your webroot ie./home/username/bb-attachments/
# chmod 777 the above /bb-attachments/ directory
It’s definitely worth it though – the security help keeps your site safe.
In reply to: Adding Images from a PC to a Topic.In my experience, this is the best plugin for uploading images to your forum:
In reply to: Mail me after postThis plugin should send an email to the admin every time someone posts to the forum:

I don’t know if it’s different from Olaf’s previous plugin he linked to above… definitely try out one of the plugins!
