Thanks for the links! I’m hopeful we can find non blog sources, but reputable blogs are a close second!
On that note, there are some good articles on bbPress here:
http://www.blogherald.com/tag/bbpress/
Did you integrate with WordPress? If so, this plugin can help restore keymaster access after an integration:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/
Good luck!
I agree with you – the bb_die error page should be pluggable (or at least themable). This has been complained about in the past:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/styling-404-page#post-20417
but the developers de-prioritized it:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/690
It’s really embarrassing to me to host forums that show this un-themed page whenever bb_die is called. In the meantime, I may hack the core in the manner ck suggested.
There’s a good overview of bbPress’ translation framework (with links to existing translations and to useful posts) on bbshowcase.org:
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-translation-internationalization-into-local-languages
According to that, bbPress uses the same translation approach as WordPress:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress#gettext_files
The approach seems to be:
1) You download the POT file, which has all the English strings in it.
2) You translate the strings into your language (Greek) and save the file as a .po file
3) You optimize the .po file into a machine readable .mo file
Looks like you can get the bbPress POT file for whichever version you’re using here:
http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/pot/tags/
Good luck!
Check your database tables in your php admin, and see if they’re corrupted? Sometimes repairing them can fix this up – at least according to this post about a similar issue with WordPress:
http://conradmiguel.com/wordpress-25x-your-attempt-to-edit-this-pagepost-has-failed-please-try-again
Try disabling all your plugins and see if it works?
If it does work with all plugins off, turn them on one at a time… and test the ratings/stars after each plugin is enabled. When it stops working, we’ll know we found the conflict!
The other possibility is that it’s a conflict with your CSS. If it doesn’t work even with all the plugins off, try activating Kakumei and seeing if adding stars to that works for you?
The JQuery issue sounded like it might be related to the WordPress integration?
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/favorites-broken-alpha-6
Sorry if these links aren’t quite dead on – I haven’t seen this behavior before, so grasping at straws a bit! 
Is this error possibly related?
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/tag-remove-fail
It sounds like it could be either a bug in bbPress… or an issue with JQuery not loading?
Here’s the code from my topic page template – hope it helps!
<div style=”width:400px”>
<div style=”float:left”>Average Rating:</div>
<?php bb_rating(); ?>
<div style=”float:left”> Your Rating: </div>
<?php if (bb_is_user_logged_in()) 
>
<?php bb_rating_dingus(); ?>
<?php else : ?>
You must log in to vote.
<?php endif; ?>
<br clear=”all”/>
<?php bb_rating_count($topic->topic_id); ?>
</div>
I’m not sure… but once you’ve successfully imported the data into bbPress, you should be able to upgrade to the final version of bbPress without having to worry about BBXF anymore?
What version of bbPress are you using?
I can’t find the schema online either… but it looks like BBXF is now supported by bbPress v 1.
If you have a working install of the bbPress alpha or RC1, you could export your data from there and figure out the schema from the export?
It sounds like this similar issue reported with the Subscribe top Topic plugin?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/subscribe-to-topic/page/3/#post-3436
Try disabling that plugin, and see if the problem goes away?
TrishaM – I have this working on a 0.9.0.2 installation… you can see it in action here:
http://ideas.weddingbee.com/
What tags did you put into your template to enabling voting (and the display of the votes)?
1. Yup! There should be two sticky links at the bottom of the page… they’re described here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/using-sticky-post#post-21295
2. There’s no such plugin for sticky voting that I know of… what did you have in mind?
Strange, this used to not work for me (I had the exact same problem as Malice). But now it works beautifully!
Son of a gun, I can’t figure out what changed… is this still an issue for anyone out there? If you could try to sticky a post to a sub-forum and see if that works for you, that’d be great – thanks!
What does your htaccess file look like?
When my users click the same link while signed out, they get sent to a similar link:
http://boards.weddingbee.com/bb-login.php?re=http%3A%2F%2Fboards.weddingbee.com%2F%3Fnew%3D1
So it looks like bbPress is sending users to the right place. So I played around with your URL a bit:
http://www.endsofearth.com/forum/bb-login.php?re=http://www.endsofearth.com/
That didn’t work either, so I stripped off the re= part completely:
http://www.endsofearth.com/forum/bb-login.php
That worked… suggesting that the problem is with the re= part and your htaccess file.
Just when I was feeling clever, I did a quick Google search and ck had already figured it all out:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/latest-discussions-add-new-link-problem-if-not-logged
Maybe try disabling MultiViews or checking your htaccess file?
A quick solution might be to just remove all links to the WordPress login and registration pages… and only have links to the bbPress registration and signin.
I did that for a long time, and it eliminated the problem with having two signups…
It sounds like you’re describing a wiki?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wiki-post/
I haven’t tried that plugin yet, but it sounds like it might be up your alley!
This plugin helps restore keymaster access for bbPress:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/
Not sure if it helps at all for WordPress… did you lose access to your blog or your boards?
Thank goodness… the Akismet craziness stopped! Finally getting a “normal” amount of spam.
What an exhausting experience! I’ll never rely on Akismet again…
If you deactivate all of your plugins (maybe late at night, since you’re using private forums)… does that temporarily fix the username display? If so, then you know it’s your plugins… and that can help focus our troubleshooting.
If you deactivate all of your plugins and the username display is still messed up, that means it’s probably either an issue with:
1) your template or
2) the integration
This is a pretty awful bug… users often repost the same message a dozen times in a row and get filtered over and over – and see that 404 error message each and every time! Then they get screamingly angry (usually at me haha).
Is this fixed in 1.0? Does anyone else get complaints from users about this?
