You’ve indentified a number of possible plugins that can help/prevent any SPAM on your forum Ramiuz. Yes I’d recommend you used Akismet because it’s designed to work on this kind of stuff, plus it’s owned by Automattic who make sure it integrates well with the likes of bbPress (and WordPress!) — If there is a problem with it, do the developers know about it?

My $0.02 anyway!

Yeah, I did get the help I needed there and if I could have removed my post I would have. I feel like a litterbug.

Yeah you’re best place to get support would be BuddyPress, while it’ll integrate with bbPress, I believe they do some cool stuff with code to make it possible, you’ll also get a much quicker response!

Lots of updates and rearranging today.

If you’re running on an SVN check-out you’ll want to SVN up. If you’re running on a zip download, you’ll want to deactivate the bbPress plugin, delete your /wp-plugins/bbpress/ directory, replace everything, and reactivate the plugin *in that order*

A first pass at WordPress capability support is now included, so that will cause issues if you don’t deactivate/reactivate.

Going to work on topic and reply count functions next.

I now see that I did need to keep this at BuddyPress. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

My mistake, I didn’t communicate my issue properly. Guess it was lack of sleep. This is a bbPress/WordPress/BuddyPress issue and I am hoping somebody out there knows what I’m doing wrong.

If I could delete this post I would to start over.

I installed bbPress into WordPress/BuddyPress site. Following the bbPress installation instructions, I uploaded bbPress into a folder and renamed it “forum.”

I pointed my browser to the install page and filled out the three step form and all seemed to go well. I got an email from the bbPress installer stating that my installation was successful.

<http://lhhs69.com/forum&gt;

This is my issue:

In order to integrate bbPress into my WordPress/BuddyPress site, I need to use the “Forum Setup” option under the BuddyPress panel in the WordPress admin area. When I attempted to use the option offered to me labeled “Use an existing bbPress installation” I am asked for the location of my bb-config.php file. When I put in the path, I get this message:

“The bb-config.php file was not found at that location, please try again.”

I have tried using the path from the root of my server with and without using the actual bb-config.php file name.

I have tried using the absolute path using my domain name with and without the file name above and with and without the “.www” in the path.

I cannot think of any more possible ways to direct my site to know where bb-config.php is located. I can see it on the server and can open it. Nothing I can see is out of place.

Anyone familiar with this issue? Thanks.

Hi people,

I’m running a (french) WP (3.0.1) site :

http://www.oreille-malade.com

There is a (not integrated) bbPress (1.02) forum :

http://www.oreille-malade.com/forum

I used to participate a lot in a forum dealing with same kind of topics (hearing issues) : http://www.sos-audition.org (phpbb)

Today one of the admin of SOS-audition.org told me they decided to close their forum in a near future. This is very sad as there is a lot of good informations on this forum. I don’t want it to disappear completely from the web !

These people don’t agree to let me import all their datas because they think it would not be “correct” for users but they are OK for me to import all topics I participated in. In other words, I am allowed to import SOME of their content.

I let more than 2000 posts on this forum those days so you can guess it would be a loooooong task for me to do it all manually.

But as they completely abandon the forum they don’t want to do anything to help me do this. So no way for me to get my hands on their phpbb database

So here is my question :

is there a (quite simple) way to import this content and export it to :

1. either posts on WordPress

2. or topics on bbPress

Any help would be much appreciated !

Best regards

I installed BuddyPress and had it all working fine, no 404 errors or anything. So once I figured I had it working I installed bbPress. I chose to have it integated with my WordPress/BuddyPress site. I filled out the 3 step form and was under the impression that everything went well. Is there anywhere that I can find a fix or suggestions how to fix.

Also, I can see the new forum outside my wordpress site but even though I can see the page and can see that I am logged in, I cannot adjust settings because I can see no Admin area.

Thanks.

if that doesn’t work then, you need to change the roles of affected accounts from an admin account.

in case you don’t have an admin account, you can get it by – http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/09/fix-lost-admin-access-bbpress/

let me know if its what you are looking for

I’m using wordpress 3.0.1 and bbpress 1.0.2. I was trying to bbpress integrate with wordpress. No matter whether I try to integrate at the time of installation or do it from the admin dashboard, I lose my access to the bbpress’s dashboard.

I did searched in the support forums but wouldn’t find any solution that works.

[digsdisc]

I guess I’m logged into bbpress as an admin, but I can’t seem to get to the dashboard. Everytime I log in I go to the home page of the forum site, not the dashboard. Everytime I try to go to bb-admin, I get redirected to the bbpress root page…

[digsdisc]

I did the datebase integration between wordpress and bbpress. It seems to have worked, but now I can’t log into my bbpress admin as before. Now I can only use my wordpress login…which shows me as a user, but not as an administrator. I know that in the dashboard there was on option to make the wordpress admin the bbpress admin, but I didn’t select that, and now I can’t get back there. thoughts?

I installed the bbpress, and instead of creating the forums it gave this error “Forum could not be created!”

ah! thank you! I was able to figure out where that little stinker was hiding.. I had changed it in the bbpress css file, but for some reason it was reading off the wordpress one for that little piece.

Messed up my blog a bit, would be nice if those two were separate… but at least the forum isn’t hanging off the end anymore.

thanks!!!!!!!!

bbPress isn’t a wordpress plugin.
