Good to know. I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks again.
Boy do I feel stupid! That’s exactly what it was, and I don’t know how it happened. I copied the sample config file and renamed it, then added the database information. But after you suggested it I opened the file in bluefish, went to the bottom and found that the end ?> was not colored. There was an extra ?> at the end of the file. And I can’t figure for the life of me how it got there. (Makes me wonder if after missing something so simple I should even attempt integration!)
Can’t thank you enough _ck_.
Ok, so I got impatient, dropped the database, removed bbPress from wordpress root, restarted my apache2 and mysql services, cleared the browser cache, closed the browser, created a new database, unzipped bbPress into the wordpress root, logged in as the new user, logged out, and after logging out that php end tag is back.
No plugins, no integration – no modifications of any kind, just out of the box bbPress. It’s a mystery to me.
