Hi. Unfortunately the links obtained from the “#” in Kakumei theme (or similar) are just anchor links. This is due to the fact that they are generated with post_anchor_link() (file: bb-templates/kakumei/post.php:11).
With “just anchor links” I mean that they are anchors (#post-number) of the current page. They aren’t permalinks. All that links became invalid once you change the “items per page” (and/or other values) from the bbPress admin panel.
All you can do with the links that users have posted is to parse them and change them accordingly to the new server settings but this can (and will) be a long, tedious, hard and prone to errors work.
I have written a plugin called “zaerl Post Permalink” that solved this problem. My plugin export a function that generate this link:
1) http://www.domain.com/the_bbpress_path/post/post_number
2) http://www.domain.com/the_bbpress_path/?post=post_number
The (1) is preferred if mod_rewrite is used. These links are permanent and do adapt on the fly to the actual settings of the server. I use my function in various places of the template and post.php is one of these.
I can share my work with you if you want. Email me za AT zaerl.com.
p.s. keep in mind that the plugin isn’t retroactive.
“If I did install it and deleted the final, does that make it a fresh install or not?”
Once you have installed bbPress for the first time it creates several SQL tables.
“And if I unzip the file do I need to zip it again?”
No. A zip file is just a container of files.
“Because when I try to upload the folder it will only let me upload by the file.”
I don’t understand.
“Even if I uploaded and deleted, does bbpress think it’s still on my blog and do I need to use the second install method?”
If you have installed bbPress and you have deleted the folder bbPress is gone. Only the SQL tables remain. If need to erase them with phpmyadmin.
Maybe you should hire someone to do the work for you. bbPress is very simple to install but it requires some basic understanding of file handling and FTP.
You have to give us more informations like the bbPress version, loaded plugins and so on.
Don’t you use require_once()/include_once() in order to load the library?
If it’s a fresh install do this:
1) Unzip the bbPress zip file
2) Change the newly created folder name from “bbpress” to “community”
3) Browse to /community and install bbPress
Keep in mind that if you have already installed bbPress on /bbpress you can’t simply rename the folder. If you want to rename it follow these steps:
1) Go to bb-admin/options-general.php and change the bbPress URL to the new one
2) If you have custom permalinks open the .htaccess file (on the forum root folder) and change the RewriteBase directive to RewriteBase /community/
3) Rename the folder
In 1.0.2 no fix is needed too.
Try:
RewriteRule ^.*/bb-login.php$ http://www.arguemax.com/wordpress-2.9.2/wordpress/wp-login.php [R=301,L]
or:
Redirect 301 /bb-login.php http://www.arguemax.com/wordpress-2.9.2/wordpress/wp-login.php
The version is shown also in the main admin page (the dashboard) bb-admin/ just below the statistics list.
I have used bbPM for a lot of time and also I have checked the code. I think that it’s a very good plugin.
(In english please). I don’t know. I don’t have problems with feeds.
There’s a space character before <?xml
No admin interface, hasn’t been updated for over an year -> old
No > 1.0 compatibility -> broken
My plugin take code from the _ck_ one but it’s at another level of complexity.
If bbPress is installed in /forum so bbPress create its .htaccess in that directory. Check the Apache log and report the error.
I meant the error description from the Apache log.
Please report the error’s description.
“Hidden forums” is old and broken. zaerl-visibility.
but while the registration with bbpress the user must insert name, email, site
Only username and email are required.
Nah. I’m lazy. Ok I’m joking. It’s an hard to reproduce error cause I use ~15 plugins and 8 are written by me and (urgh) 4 are not released to public.
Maybe I am the source of my “problems.” Eh eh eh.
Also change RewriteBase in .htacces (if you use mod_rewrite.)
Please notice that if you specify: define( 'BB_LANG', 'it_IT' ); then the mo/po must be called it_IT.mo/po. Take my italian translation. It is guaranteed.
Really?
Yes. Really.
Where do you see evidence of this in action?
In one in one of my forums. Wrong number of posts associated with a wrong number of discussions per user. It seems that it happens in a regular basis after a deletion of a long list of users. But I use a cron job each week so not a big deal. I have not investigated about the plugin that cause this mess.
Just recount when you delete a lot of topics. Not a big deal. I do this every week (just in case.)
bb_send_pass. At least in 1.0.2 which is the official release.
If you have integrated bbPress with WordPress (same user database) you cannot choose a login name that already exists in WordPress.
function bb_custom_pass_message ($message)
{
$message .= 'My message.';
return $message;
}
add_filter( 'bb_send_pass', 'bb_custom_pass_message' );
