In reply to: Lost All Users (Including ME!)
What do you mean about the bbPress querying the WordPress database for user data? I thought most posts are showing up as Anonymous?
If they are different database, then that explains the problem. You want to install both WordPress and bbPress inside of a single database, if they are going to share users. This guide to integration might be useful.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101
It’s a bit outdated, but I’m guessing it will give you a nice lay of the land.
In reply to: Lost All Users (Including ME!)When I integrate a WordPress and a bbPress install, I use a single database to hold both installs… that way, they can share the same users table.
Is your WordPress and bbPress data stored within the same database? One quick way to check that is to compare the config files for both: do they refer to the same database name/username/pw?
In reply to: Lost All Users (Including ME!)The MySQL database name/username/password is at the top of the bb-config file:
http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/bb-config-sample.php
What DB name/username/password do you have in the current bb-config.php file? (I’m not asking for the actual info – please don’t post that, as that pose a security issue!)
In reply to: Lost All Users (Including ME!)You mentioned that “[t]he previous admin … wiped the WP database.”
What exactly did that entail… did they drop all tables with the wp_ prefix? Or did they delete that entire database completely…
Btw, do you have phpMyAdmin access to your database?
In reply to: Lost All Users (Including ME!)Ah ok, then it’s not a situation where you might be able to restore them manually…
In reply to: Lost All Users (Including ME!)Ah if you deleted your users table, then that would definitely cause this problem. You’ll definitely want to restore a backup of that table… how many users were in the system?
In reply to: Hidden postsYou could always create a plugin which “hides” certain posts from the forum front-page/forum pages. I don’t think there’s anything available that does that now… the closest I’ve seen is this bb-Pages plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpages/
It was broken for a while, but it looks like someone posted a working version a few months ago:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpages/#post-4768
Good luck!
In reply to: Lost All Users (Including ME!)Three quick questions to help scope out the situation.
1) Which versions of bbPress and WordPress did you have working together?
2) What version of WordPress did you upgrade to?
3) Where did your users disappear – just in bbPress, or also in WordPress?
Also – is this your forum?
In reply to: How to use bbvideo?When I just add a normal YouTube link, the video embed shows up for me when bbVideo is activated!
But I had to turn off bbVideo, because it didn’t work with TinyMCE enabled and the rich text editor turned on… I guess that extra a href code threw it off?
In reply to: Email maskedThe tricky part is that the username is usually in the profile url… like here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/johnhiler
So even if you required Display Names, the email might be visible in the profile URL.
But I’ve seen where you can make the profile URL use numbers instead:
https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/150000
Maybe that’d be doable as a workaround?
In reply to: Additional FieldYah sorry, that plugin doesn’t exist in either form.
But it’s definitely technically possible, and shouldn’t take too long to build. You should be able to hire someone to program it for relatively cheap…
Good luck!!

Hope that helps!
In reply to: Email maskedI thought that emails were only visible to admins. Can you still see them when you sign out?
In reply to: Additional FieldAh that’s good!
That means you only need meta information for each Topic… that’s a lot easier to pull off than having meta information for each Post. At least, that was true in 0.9… I think bbPress 1.0 has changed how it handles meta data.
Anyway, you should be able to pretty easily commission a plugin to add an extra field to Topic Meta… it’s definitely technically possible, but a plugin to do this doesn’t yet exist.
In reply to: bbPress mobile versionYup, you can definitely repost derivative works. Oh and also – if you click the “subscribe to topic” link at the top of the page, that should give you email alerts!
I would love to help you test… just let me know! One of my main goals is to figure out how to turn off TinyMCE in mobile browsers… so my users can comment from their iPhones and Android browsers.
In reply to: Additional FieldWho would be posting the URL.. only the person starting each topic? Or do you also want each person commenting on the topic to also be able to add their own URLs…
In reply to: bbpress stand along or pluginAs for the bbPress canonical plugin, I think that is a ways away.
But I just checked, and the latest version of BuddyPress does actually work with WordPress 2.9!
https://buddypress.org/blog/news/introducing-buddypress-1-2/
In reply to: bbpress stand along or pluginThe lead developer on BuddyPress explained the relationship this way: “There is code in BuddyPress that allows bbPress to install, configure and run all within the WordPress environment.”
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/future-of-bbpress#post-60022
They are definitely separate programs… it’s just that BuddyPress is based on WordPress MU, and the BuddyPress team has added the ability to install bbPress from inside of WordPress.
Hope that clarifies the relationship a bit more!
In reply to: bbpress stand along or pluginbbPress is currently only available as a standalone version. It’s not yet available as a plugin – as I understand it, that is several versions away at this point.
I just registered on your site and then tested the signin… it worked for me on the first try! I’m using Google Chrome…
Maybe there’s a known issue between your browser and the “saved passwords” option… which browser are you using?
In reply to: bbPress mobile versionAlex’s SVN links here:
https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wordpress-mobile-edition/trunk/wp-mobile.php
Lines 17 and 18 mention a GPL license:
17 // Released under the GPL license
18 // http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php
So you should definitely be able to release this plugin as a derivative work. Good thing too, b/c I’d love to use it!
Two questions to help diagnose the issue:
1) If you activate the default Kakumei theme, do you still have this problem?
2) Have you installed any plugins recently?
Let us know and we’ll try to figure it out!
Does this only happen with long words?
If so, there are some good tips here on how to solve the problem here!
rlebowitz – Thanks for sharing the files!!!
I received four files: footer.php, header.php, login-form.php, and style.css.
I was surprised there was no plugin file, but then I realized: the programmer must have fixed the issue by editing the templates, not the plugin. I’m pretty sure most of the changes to the footer/style files are cosmetic… which leaves login-form.php and header.php as potential sources of the fix.
I haven’t finished auditing the files, but maybe the reason Instant Password doesn’t work in 1.0 is that there’s some sort of conflict between the login-form page and the plugin?
Here’s the edited login-form.php:
Then header.php calls that file:
Can someone on 1.0 try out these templates and see if it resolves the issue for you?
If anyone can figure out the exact change that fixes the plugin, that’d be even better!
In reply to: Simultaneous posts = wrong pages and posts countWhat bbPress version are you using? Also, can you provide a link to the topic in question?
Thanks!
