bbPress 1.0 is always incompatible with WordPress 2.6 at this moment?

Hum, a Matt’s intervention is needed, no?

1. Please post a link to your forum so we can take a look.

2. No styling usually means the path to the stylesheet is wrong. You can look in the source of the HTML to see that.

3. Redirecting is probably because you have true or slugs for your permalinks setting, but you haven’t set up permalinks yet. You can set the permalinks to false to get the forum working right now, then take the next step and make permalinks work.

https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

Either that, or the stylesheet is really not there at the URL you tried, and WordPress is intercepting that and sending you to 404 page.

Has anyone actually tried downgrading? I’ll admit I’m a little hesitant to downgrade from 2.6 to 2.5.1 for fear of running into even more problems. Are there any major database changes between the 2 versions that would cause any issues? I may give it a shot later today and post the results.

Edit: Just read the link above, apparently it’s safe to do.

Thanks very much!

You shouldn’t be installing bbPress in the WordPress plugin folder.

It’s not a plugin.

[csseur3]

the original plugin is here: http://dd32.id.au/wordpress-plugins/remove-max-width/

[csseur3]

Hello,

i want to add at bbPress the 100% width in admin, like this plugin for wordpress:

So, the code is:

add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'rmw_tinymce');

function rmw_tinymce($init){

$init = true;

return $init;

}

add_action(‘admin_head’,’rmw_head’,99); //Hook late after all css has been done

function rmw_head(){

global $is_IE; ?>

<style type=”text/css” media=”all”>

.wrap,

.updated,

.error,

.widefat,

#the-comment-list td.comment {

max-width: none !important;

}

<?php if( $is_IE ){ ?>

* html #wpbody {

_width: 99.9% !important;

}

<?php } ?>

</style>

<?php } ?>

but not works for bbPress… what can i do for the plugin works?

bye

Are the files actually installed in the WordPress plugin folder, or in a folder called forums now, located beside or or below the root WordPress folder?

[chrishajer]

I suggest anyone trying to integrate bbPress with WordPress should read the sticky at the top of the forum.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101

It’s in there, very first post.

During step 3 of the installation process, I accidentally inputted the wrong URL for my forum.

It asked me for the Site address (URL), which was defaulted to:

http://mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/

I changed this to

http://mysite.com/forums/

Now I can’t access the forums at all, and I can’t figure out how to change the URL back. I looked at bb-config.php, but didn’t see any way to fix this.

I’m not good with PHP and I’m new to WordPress in general, so any novice advice would be much appreciated!

It’s definitely not ready for production use but the 1.0 alpha in the trunk is looking really good. Sam (and MDA) have been hard at work.

Looks a great deal like WordPress behind the scenes – I mean the new 2.5-2.6 look with rounded everything – but in our familiar and sharp looking green.

BackPress is now powering it which should unify us with WordPress more than ever before and accelerate feature development.

Hey it’s got a dashboard like WordPress now!

I also see they added Display Names to bbPress.

This actually is to my dismay but I guess other people may like them. (Personally for me it will be the first thing I disable – nothing but trouble with pesky childish users).

It also has categories built in: [screenshot]

If you are a power user and know what you are doing, give it a try in a test environment – do NOT overwrite an existing install, it’s not stable yet. Sam says they could use some testing bug reports on TRAC for it.

ps. even more good news is that many of my plugins seem to work hassle-free on it…

I am very new to wordpress. I read your post late. Have not yet installed BBpress but plan to do so. How do I downgrade 2.6 to 2.5 I could not get any information on the web regarding steps for downgrade. Please help and thanks in advance. I am sure mor epeople would want to know the same as more people will find out 2.6 and bbpress dont work

[_ck_]

You should be able to put back 2.5.1 without incident.

Backing up your current site/db is always recommended.

[davidbaldwin]

dang it!

i wish i knew that before I upgraded..

what do i do know?

thanks!

[Göran]

Thank you very much chrishajer! It worked and I now have a forum on http://www.enkelwebbplats.se/forum

I am writing a little book in Swedish on how to start a website with WordPress and include bbPress for a discussion forum. The major fault with bbPress is now that is does not work to use Swedish names with diacritic characters like my own, Göran. I have asked for help in this forum before but no solution seems to exist. Strange since many other languages also use such characters and most people are somewhat offended if they cannot use their name if they want. All suggestions how to solve this problem is highly appreciated!

[chrishajer]

Need more info.

If it’s a plugin, and there’s a management page, maybe you could just hit the URL from another system that does have the ability to schedule tasks?

I never looked into how WordPress does pseudo cron…

WordPress 2.6 is not compatible with the current release of bbPress.

Dollar sign might have to be urlencoded? Also you can integrate bbPress 0.9 with older versions of WordPress using these instructions:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-integrate-bbpress-09-with-wordpress-23-or-lower

[771868]

Hello,

I have a problem with links like this:

http://www.forestry.gov.uk/PDF/fcpn9.pdf/$FILE/fcpn9.pdf

In case it’s been stripped out here as well, there ought to be a dollar sign before FILE. It’s in the db, so it’s being taken out on output.

I’m probably being a bit simple, but I couldn’t find the code that was doing this – I’d guess it’s something on the post_text filter.

I’m using WordPress 0.8.3.1 with the bbPress integration and WordPress Integration plugins. I would upgrade, but I don’t want to use WordPress 2.5 yet.

Thanks, Mike.

[davidbaldwin]

after upgrading to wordpress 2.6 i have a bit of a problem with bbpress

I’m trying to login to bbpress at:

http://lifelightcam.com/bbpress/

when i login, i am brought back to the same page, but I am not logged in.

Usuing the login form on that page, Does log me into wordpress.

what’s up?

[_ck_]

Not yet. They may one day import the code from WordPress or eventually BackPress may solve the issue.

I think they’re using the term “vanilla” to mean “plain.” In other words, any standard installation of WordPress MU can be turned into a social network platform.

Vanilla, the forum software, doesn’t have anything to do with it, as far as I know.

[724719]

can anyone please tell me is buddy press replacing bbPress? otherwise were wasting our time….

“BuddyPress will transform a vanilla installation of WordPress MU into a social network platform.”

vanilla is another forum, so im guessing BuddyPress will have its own forum… right so what the hell is bbPress for lol…

anyone help here?

[lelandf]

I wish I knew about the integration problem before I upgraded to 2.6. I’m experiencing more problems than the upgrade is worth. Like someone said above, 2.6 is not really anything special.

Is there any surefire way of downgrading back to WordPress 2.5.1? I have backups but made a few posts since then and don’t want to lose them.

[767427]

I’ve decided to go with bbPress for my new website because of my love for WordPress because of the relative ease of user integration and it’s light weight. I have everything nailed down except that I’d like to customize my installation to show categories like other forum software, i.e.:

Category

+Forum

+Forum

+Forum

Category

+Forum

+Forum

+Forum

You get the idea I’m sure. I’ve searched quite a bit and found only some posts from a year ago where this was brought up and supposedly this is in the trunk now. Has anyone managed to do this to a current stable installation or know how I could do it myself? It seems there used to be patches that did this for old revisions and I thought about playing with them to try to produce the desired effect on the current stable version. Has anyone else tried that?

I figure one option I _could_ use is trying out the current trunk (which I have almost up and running, got it installed but have an error that says it cannot find the uri) but I worry about stability.

I’d appreciate some tips and tricks if anyone has any. The lack of organization isn’t a deal breaker but it would be very nice. I don’t feel like waiting until version 1.0 which I know will be a long way off and I don’t want to try to cram together wordpress and another bloated beast of a forum like phpbb3.
