I made the same mistake. It would be a great idea to indicate “You must choose a NEW admin, that doen’t exist yet” at this point of the installation.
I fixed it by reinstalling bbpress but I needed to clean the database first :
– I removed the bb-config.php file
– I looked into the database (using the hosting service tools) and removed all the tables starting with bb_
– then I started back the installation.
I guess you can do it another way, without reinstalling : the problem is that you have bbpress installed without any administrator. You can define one manually in the database (using the hosting service tools) :
– the table wp_users contains the users (I integrated bbp and wp, else I suppose there should be a bb_users, but then we shouldn’t have this error…)
have a look at it and remember the ID of the user you want to put keymaster (for me, it’s 1)
– the table wp_usermeta contains some values about the users.
add a new line containing :
* umeta_id : a non-used umeta_id
* user_id : the ID of the user (1 for me)
* meta_key : bb_capabilities
* meta_value : a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;} (I don’t know what it means)
– then try to connect to your forum and look if you can administrate it !
Can someone says if it works ?
