I am very new to this, I hope someone can help me.

I had wp 2.5 installed from fantasico or what ever it is called from Cpanel. any way every thing was fine. I tried to upgrade to 2.6. I followed the instructions. backed up the files then deleted all the files and folder that I was told to delete and kept wp-contents, wp-config.php and htaccess.

I downloaded 2.6 to my computer, unzipped it. Using fillezilla I transfered the files over. Now this is what is said when you go to my site. (I havnt published my main site being http://www.mgjewellery.com.au the the internet yet) my site is http://www.mgjewellery.com.au/wordpress

Warning: Unexpected character in input: ”’ (ASCII=39) state=1 in /home/mgjewell/public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1706

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/mgjewell/public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1706

Can someone, anyone please help me urgently.I need very basic instructions. Thank you so much for reading

Here is a screenshot of my iGoogle page with the bbPress.org Recent Posts feed right at the top/center. Your post is visible there All the items on this page are RSS feeds.

hmm – have to think about that one

chris, there are two parts to the key, you can’t define the other part via the bb-config.php

actually – have you tried completely clearing your cookies? Even with a mismatched key you should be able to login, just not sync with wordpress. The cookies might be scrambled until you clear them.

[chrishajer]

You need a feed reader, that’s all. With FireFox, when you click on the RSS icon, while viewing a topic page, I think it asks “subscribe to topic” and if you want to use “live bookmarks” which are RSS feeds built in to Firefox (this is probably different between FF2 and FF3.)

If you are seeing code, then the browser you are using is not equipped to handle RSS feeds.

Google Reader is one RSS feed reader:

http://www.google.com/reader/

The Google Personalize Home Page allows you to add RSS feeds right there too. I follow a lot of support forums that way. Just click “Add Stuff” then skip all the pretty icons and find the text “Add feed or gadget” which used to be called “Add by url” or something.

You just need a feed reader and I think everything will be fine.

energymv, there’s no real answer right now – I know it won’t happen in July and my educated guess is it’s not likely to be August. So for those that insist on a date, think September.

Sam has indicated he’s not inclined to release another version of 0.9 that changes to the 2.6 cookies, so maybe by late August there will be an early version of 1.0 beta that will be usable.

ps. sometimes Sam and MDA have been known to suddenly set a deadline and get cranking on code/bugfixes so don’t be surprised if they prove me wrong and magically churn out a new version in a few weeks – I’m just saying they have quite a bit of things to do before it’s ready…

Hi,

I entered the wrong Secret value when installing BBPress. Now when I go to BBPress Settings > WordPress Integration and try to change it, it logs me out of BBPress. The value obviously does not get updated. This only hapens if I try to change the Secret field.

How do I update the field as WP integration will not work otherwise? I don’t have direct access to the database, no PHPmyadmin option. My client is using PLESK.

Thanks!

Guys, be gentle – I am fully aware that this is a question as technically ignorant as it gets.

I have registered for a few RSS feeds on blogs etc without problem, but I have never been able to figure out how the RSS feeds work with the bbPress and WordPress support forums.

Whenever I have decided I’d like a feed of a particular thread I’ve posted on, for example, I click on the RSS button and get a page full of code I have no idea what to do with.

Could any of you kind informed folk explain in lay language how I can turn this page of code into a way of registering for a feed, please?

[RossB]

This is very dumb of me, but I can’t find anywhere under the bonnet to register New Posts RSS feed with Feedburner (it’s a while since I set up my WordPress blog, but I seem to recall in WordPress, there is a place to do this).

I guess I go to Feedburner to register, then? Once I’ve done this, does this mean that every post will be notified to anyone who signs up for the feed?

hi i want to install bbpress for the 1st time. i have WP 2.6.

when might bbpress update be available for integration with WP 2.6?

I’m using the name based permalinks. After renaming a forum title the slug or permalink did not change. Is there a rebuild permalink feature similar to wordpress?

Thanks,

Gio

Hi sorry for the bump, My bbpress is not integrated with wordpress, and the rewrite for profile edit “/profile/username/edit?q=” doesn’t seems to work, while the other works fine.. any suggestion for my problem? thx//

[davidbaldwin]

is there an ETA on a version of bbpress that will work with wordpress 2.6?

thanks!

david

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

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

bye

[chrishajer]

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

[chrishajer]

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!

[screenshot]

I also see they added Display Names to bbPress.

[screenshot]

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.
