I have tried to use pretty permalinks and am having no luck so far.

Could someone please help me

I tried using the

Options +MultiViews

and when I click on the links I get 404 Error.

Then I tried using the

rewrite-rules.php.

and I get:

blockquoteInternal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webadmin@kundenserver.de and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

blockquote

If you go to http://www.328solutions.com you will see it! (That is with the rewrite-rules.php)

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? If you need more information please let me know! I really want to use BBPRESS as I love WordPress!!! And don’t really want to use any other forum.

oh btw, seasons greetings

Hi there,

Users can register and login in to my wordpress section of my site, and this automatically makes then a bbpress member also. The problem however affects only people whose user name contains a space in it. Though they are resisted members of both wordpress and bbpress, they cannot log into bbpress.

Any ideas?

[livibetter]

This is stolen from WordPress Extend Ideas. I made (or I should say I duplicated or pirated?) this for getting your ideas to be my motivations. But, while writing this I found out this not just “Ideas”, this actually is an application of how to have different themes for your forums and topics. And you can also have permalinks like /ideas/ or /ideas.php.

No modifications on core files, but need to add two files. 1 plugin file, some modifications on theme.

You can see this “Ideas” on my forums. Scroll down to the bottom, you will see it. Click on “Got an Idea?” or “Ideas for bbPress” (read the URIs, notice the differences?).

This is not ready for a release, however you can download it from repository and read this draft documentation (if you want to play with it).

And you can post your ideas for “Ideas” or others.

In WordPress, when a page title is the same as a previous one, the slug gets a number appended to it, like this-was-written-about-before-1, so I imagine bbPress has the same protection built in. The slug needs to be unique.

Hello To All,

First of all – thank you for the best forum software available for WordPress based sites. The package was simple to install, it’s streamlined, and works perfectly. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am running WordPress on my site located here: http://www.smartboydesigns.com/

and then I have installed and developed the forum software here:

http://www.smartboydesigns.com/forums/

The forum and main site layouts are still being integrated, but so far it is coming along nicely. I would like to know your thoughts on what I have so far, and if anything isn’t working properly for you.

Thank you, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hi, livibetter

Thanks! I have sorted it out, besides “$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’; “, I added the following in bbpress config.php

“

$bb->path = ‘/bbpressfolder/’;

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

“

It is strange that I still can not find any cookie file generated when I logged in WP but my WP works correctly, so weird… anyway, my problem is resolved, I am happy now:)

[livibetter]

I think bbPress works normal, but WordPress may not. After you logging in WordPress, is that logging effective? Can you get into WordPress admin pages?

[livibetter]

yes.

I think you only need

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

If this is not working, please check your browser’s cookies. See what WordPress and bbPress send to you with what host and path. If you not sure what to check, try to clean cookies, then log in WordPress and bbPress.

[livibetter]

Seems that l10n.php of bbPress wasn’t loaded.

Did you also do a WordPress FUNCTIONS integration?

What is your config.php of bbPress? (you can post it to http://bbpress.pastebin.com , remember to remove dbname, dbuser, dbpassword)

[livibetter]

Recent discussion indicates r971 could be a temporary good solution.

Go to the bottom https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk?rev=971

Download the ZIP, and use it to upgrade

I am not sure if it will touch you database or not, anyway backup is a good habit.

Please tell us if this works or not.

[livibetter]

I assume you did an overlap install of bbPress onto WordPress!

/home/readme.html, /home/license.txt and /home/wp-login.php are working.

But /home/index.php isn’t.

except index.php, the first three files are not in bbPress; and you say you have clean up bbPress files. So, DID YOU DO AN OVERLAP INSTALL???

If so, just download WordPress package, and extract index.php from it, then put it into /home.

[livibetter]

@italways, was you installing WordPress and bbPress in this directory hierarchy:

WordPress: /wordpress

bbPress: /wordpress/bbpress

[terrypearson]

Can someone actually explain what the solution was? I am getting the same error.

[chrishajer]

If you deleted everything in your root WordPress folder, you’re going to have to reinstall WordPress first, then your theme and plugins. That would be the first step, well before installing bbPress.

For the record, bbPress should be in a subdirectory of your WordPress installation if you’re going to try and integrate it.

So maybe you have your WordPress at /var/www/goldfiinger/home/, and if so, you would put bbPress at /var/www/goldfiinger/home/bbpress/.

[bedbugger]

kboan23,

Even if you manually fix the role of users registered in bbpress to “subscriber” the display name field is still blank. So unless I am missing something, you do need to fix this problem. Otherwise, bbpress registrants become subscribers login at wordpress and their username shows as Anonymous.

Hi , well today i decided to try and install bbpess and integrate it into my wordpress site.

The quick instructions seemed simple, now on reflection a little to simple.

Basically I copied everything from the bb zip file into the same root folder my wp site lives in.

Then errors started to appear , so i thought well I’ll just delete everything and try and use some more in depth instructions.

So I’ve now deleted every file I copied into the root file from the bb zip and the config.php file i also put in their which the instructions asked me to do.

I thought once i had removed everything my site would just start working again as i thought it would be in the same state as this morning before I thought about bb.

But you guessed it, it now doesn’t work.

My site is http://the3rdplace.co.uk/home/

Error I’m getting is 403 Forbidden

Plus

Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /home/ on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I don’t really know enough to know where to start in correcting things.

How i wish i had a back up (i don’t)

Question is what have I done wrong , but more importantly for now how do i go about correcting things ?

Many thanks in advance

mvh: None yet. I’m going to start digging into code and rewrite rules in my spare time. http://make2for1.com/ is about as basic an install of bbpress as can be done. Implementing bbpress shouldn’t be this difficult.

Obviously mod_rewrite at 1and1 works fine since WordPress pretty permalinks work. I use them at http://realityme.net/ with no problems.

If I get a solution, I will definitely post it here.

Your example URL is down… is there anywhere else?

[eSports]

I’d imagine not anytime soon. PHPBB3 is totally bloated… I can think of easier ways though…

[tvon]

i’d love to use bbpress! Any idea when a phpbb3 converter is being made?

OK 971 it is then. There was another post in the past few hours with a similar problem.

[chrishajer]

This is a common problem with the latest release, especially on GoDaddy (and Dreamhost too, I think.) Anyway, the problem you’re describing has been fixed in the trunk releases but not in the public release. The best thing to do would be to download a later revision like r971 or r980. See these posts from sambauers:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/broken-profiles-for-users-with-spaces-in-the-names?replies=5#post-12769

Here is the page where you can download r971 (probably your best bet):

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk?rev=971

[Sam Bauers]

I don’t package up the releases, I’ll see what mdawaffe thinks.

[971] is the best candidate.

[chrishajer]

Sorry you’re giving up. It’s not normally this difficult.

I looked at your site and see that there is no wordpress in the URL, the pages are just:

http://mysite.com/about/

http://mysite.com/relationships/

I do see in the source of the page that the path to the theme is in a directory called wordpress…

I think we’re in big trouble if someone with and IQ of 145 can’t figure it out.

404 errors cannot have anything to do with your database config settings. If you cannot access install.php, something else is wrong with your config or possibly the .htaccess rewrite rules for WordPress. I’d be willing to bet it’s from rewrite rules. If you’re interested in taking a fresh look at it, can you post the config.php?
