In reply to: RSS Feed not working! 1.0.2
Did you try removing the raquo character from your rss file?
Or could you could apply this patch:
In reply to: RSS Feed not working! 1.0.2Yah this bug was introduced in July of last year… here’s the fix:

In reply to: BBPress is falling apart for me nowWhat files did you replace/change?
In reply to: Try out email subscriptionsOlaf – Just saw your earlier edit. Moving features into the core is no guarantee that development won’t stop… just look at the bbPress Core itself over the past few months!
In reply to: Try out email subscriptionsYah it gets tricky with posts being editable and topics being deletable… tricky stuff!
In reply to: Try out email subscriptionsAh yah, vBulletin does a great job batching email updates. But batching updates is a lot harder than just emailing out immediate updates… that’s probably why they’re starting off with this approach.
I’d be a lot more comfortable with that if this was a plugin and not in the core… curious what the plan is on that front!
In reply to: Try out email subscriptionsHey Olaf – I don’t doubt that email delivery can be tricky… we got around a lot of that by using SPF and other tricks to ensure delivery:

In any case, you’re always free to not use this particular plugin!
Although I’m still not clear on why this plugin/feature is being programmed… there’s a very similar email subscriptions plugin that already works great. But I’m guessing this is going to get put into the core, so maybe it’s being programmed differently as a result.
In reply to: Try out email subscriptionsI use that subscription plugin I linked above… it’s been great, and we haven’t had problems with delivery. It might get out of hand if we default subscribed members to threads… but it’s opt-in, so the number of subscription emails is much lower than you’d think.
In reply to: Try out email subscriptionsI can confirm similar messages as well, also from yajia and snj19.
I don’t think you have to make the attachments folder above your webroot… it’s just strongly recommended for security reasons.
The danger is that someone would be able to upload malicious to your server, and execute it since it’s below your webroot.
In reply to: Where can I download Human Test for bbpress?I was able to download it from here:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/
If that doesn’t work, you can always get the files from svn:
https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/human-test/trunk/
Good luck!
Hey Chris – yah definitely… but first I wanted to warn our fellow users!
I’ve been happily using bbPress for many years, and this is the first bug where I’ve experienced significant data loss.
@DKB – “Sorry, download is restricted” is an error message from the bbAttachments plugin:
https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/bb-attachments/trunk/bb-attachments.php
Have you tried lowering the minimum role to download the original?
global $bb_attachments;
$bb_attachments=”read”; // minimum role to see list of attachments = read/participate/moderate/administrate
$bb_attachments=”read”; // minimum role to view inline reduced images = read/participate/moderate/administrate
$bb_attachments=”participate”; // minimum role to download original = read/participate/moderate/administrate
$bb_attachments=”participate”; // minimum role to upload = participate/moderate/administrate (times out with post edit time)
$bb_attachments=”moderate”; // minimum role to delete = read/participate/moderate/administrate
In reply to: Try out email subscriptionsMight be worth checking out this plugin for ideas and/or code!
In reply to: I need help to change language!There’s a good writeup here!
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/language#post-3186
Just edit your config file after uploading the files, and you should be all set!
In reply to: Needs message move optionThis is very tricky stuff. There is a field in the posts table called post_position… but bbPress basically ignores it at this point, and uses the post date instead to sort the posts in order.
But one day, splitting or merging topics may be supported in the API and post position will become important again. Then any posts you split or merged to another topic (even using a plugin) may no longer be in the right order!!
More on that here:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/edit-post-attributes/
and here:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/move-it/#post-393
Note: since there’s no clear API support yet and I don’t want to mess up my posts database, what I do instead is grab the text and repost it manually as a new thread. Then I use ck’s “edit post attributes” to change the author from my username to the original author.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/edit-post-attributes/
Then I delete the old post.
In reply to: list of unread postsfel64 and henrybb made plugins like this… then _ck_ improved on them with this:
In reply to: WP StatsHave you tried out this stats plugin? It gives stats on number of topics and posts and registered users… it’s really great:
In reply to: Bug in post count?It looks like a bug to me.
Does it affect your users’ experience? Those numbers are on internal dashboards… I don’t think users can see them.
In reply to: Bug in post count?Ah hmm, I just checked a test install for 1.0.2, and it has a similar issue.
On the Dashboard, it says “252 posts” and “71 topics”.
But on the Posts page it says there are 249 posts, and on the Topics page it says there are 68 topics.
It sounds like a bug… but I don’t see a report here?
https://trac.bbpress.org/report/1
Can anyone else confirm this is an issue for you on bbPress 1.0.2 as well? If so, please post here and then we can file a trac report!
In reply to: Bug in post count?If you recount, the counts are still off?
If so, try deactivating all your plugins and doing one last recount… if that doesn’t work, I’m stumped.
In reply to: wp integration cookie does not work@ChuckMcB -Hmm, since you can access the admin link while signed into bbPress, it’s probably not a case where you lost your admin access:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/
It sounds like you may be onto something with the www issue you mentioned… one cookie is setting itself on www, while the other one is not.
In reply to: Bug in post count?Try clearing your Akismet spam queue, and see if that maybe clears it up?
In reply to: Lets Talk about Facebook ConnectI had problems with spammers and troublemakers both before and after we created that plugin… but both got a lot better after I installed this plugin allowing users to report problems with single click:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/report-post/
More recently, I installed Nightgunner5’s fantastic Moderation Suite:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-moderation-suite/
This allowed me to create a Moderator team of people I trusted, who can spam and delete posts… the plugin logs every moderation action too, so I can always reverse something if a volunteer Moderator makes a decision I disagree with.
In reply to: Lets Talk about Facebook ConnectGrassrootsPA – I used to have the same issue, until ck built this plugin which lets users select their own passwords:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/instant-password/
Since users now pick their own passwords, it doesn’t matter as much if that email makes it through or not…
