Thanks for all the help so far guys. I think I know what the problem is now. Since the site is integrated with WP, I’m using the WP headers, which are responsible for throwing the 404 error even though the page generates fine.

The relevant discussion on this forum is here.

I still haven’t fixed the problem though. Should I give up on using a single header for both WP and BBPress? Is the plugin fix suggest the best bet? Other ideas?

[icesar]

Thanks for the reply Chris. Yes, I’m using 2.3.3 right now. The content of the plugin code is exactly as above:

function mbob_flush_rewrites() {

global $wp_rewrite;

$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();

}

add_action('init', 'mbob_flush_rewrites');



function mbob_add_rewrites($wp_rewrite) {

add_rewrite_rule('forums/topic', 'forums/topic.php');

add_rewrite_rule('forums/forum', 'forums/forum.php');

add_rewrite_rule('forums', 'forums/index.php');

$wp_rewrite->rules = array_merge($wp_rewrite->non_wp_rules, $wp_rewrite->rules);

}

add_action('generate_rewrite_rules', 'mbob_add_rewrites');

And I’m not getting a specific error really. Simply that when I upload no404s.php with this code to my wp-content/plugins directory, there is no listing in the Plugins tab to even activate it.

Start by sharing a link to your forum and describing how you would like it to look unless it’s completely obvious to anyone viewing exactly what is wrong with the positioning.

Thanks.

I have integrated my wordpress theme into my bbpress theme but even though it looks the same, the text and forum is not in the same postition as they are supposed to be. How do I fix this?

[chrishajer]

What does the content of your plugin look like, and what is the error you are getting when you try to activate it (do you have access to error logs)? Also, what version WordPress are you using( 2.3.3?)

[icesar]

So close! I have this same issue with my regular installation of WP, and I only realized today (after 3 months) that this is the reason my forums – http://argentinastravel.com/forums/ – are not getting indexed!

I tried creating a plugin from the code above, but I couldn’t activate it. Can someone please help me with a step by step fix for a regular WP install? Gracias!

[chrishajer]

What are you entering there? And are you using a language file other that the default US English? Any plugins? Are you trying an integrated install with WordPress? What version bbPress and WordPress are you using (if you’re using WordPress at all)?

Should be fairly straightforward to mimic.

I might give it a try sometime this month if they don’t release it.

How about in your WordPress header.php try to wrap the breadcrumb call with something that happens only on bbPress pages. So, if your forum is in a directory called “forum” or something, maybe you could check the REQUEST_URI for the presence of forum. Then you wouldn’t show the breadcrumbs if you were on a forum page. Something like that?

Breadcrumb script: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/breadcrumb-navxt/

I’ve integrated it so that bbPress calls WordPress functions, meaning I use get_header and get_footer. All the forum CSS is in my WordPress CSS.

In the WordPress header.php I use that breadcrumb plugin, but obviously on the forum pages I don’t want it to appear.

Hey,

I just got done redesigning my forum section to match my main WordPress theme. I would love some feedback. If it’s positive, I probably will release the WordPress and bbPress theme to the public.

http://www.refueled.net/forum/

Let me know what you think.

Thanks in advance.

[chrishajer]

Do you have a link to what you’re talking about?

Of course you can do a conditional in PHP, it’s just a matter of how you integrated things and if the functions are available between WordPress and bbPress.

What breadcrumb script are you using?

[Sam Bauers]

There are two people committing code for bbPress and one of them (mdawaffe) was heavily involved with the WordPress 2.5 release.

If there have been two release candidates for WordPress, that means there have been changes to WordPress that we have to match in that time.

It’s just a matter of limited resources at this stage. We also have identified one blocker which needs to be fixed before we can release 0.9

Hello there,

i upgraded wp to version 2.5 succesfully.

But now i have a small problem. It seems that bbpress and wp do not communicate anymore as before as if the integration is broken. I am not more logged in into bbpress if i am logged in into wp and vice versa. I did not try to create a new testing user to see if he/she will appear in wp and bbpress yet. Is anyone experiencing the same?

Could this be a cookie issue with WP 2.5 (hashing method?)? The intergration between wp 2.3 and bbpress 0.8.3 worked smoothly until now.

This method http://bbpress.org/blog/2006/09/simpler-integration-with-wordpress/ ceased to work for me since the wp upgrade. Will it be fixed with 0.9 version?

Hi

I’m integrated.

I use a breadcrumb script in my WordPress header.

Any idea if it’s possible to display the bbPress breadcrumb script INSTEAD of the WordPress one when on the forum?

Something like if (is_forum()) or something?

[John Conners]

I believe the new support forum theme was designed by the same people who redesigned the WP admin screens (Happy Cog).

Here’s an explanation of how to get avatars working in WP 2.5:

[nisus]

I really like the new theme they are using and was wondering if anyone knew if they had released it or where they got it from?

Also on a non-bbpress note, how do you turn avatars on in WP2.5? I can’t find it at all.

[Sam Bauers]

Release of bbPress 0.9 is imminent.

We need to test against the final release of WordPress 2.5 before we can release bbPress.

[chrishajer]

You need a plugin to post images because bbpress out of the box is very lightweight. Many forums don’t want or need images, so that functionality comes in the form of a plugin. For example, the largest bbPress installation ( https://wordpress.org/support/ ) doesn’t allow images.

If you post a link to your forum and possibly a little better description of what you are doing, what happens, and what you expected to happen, maybe someone can help you.

[Sam Bauers]

bbPress 0.9 is imminent.

We will do some final testing against the final release of WordPress 2.5 first though.

[pad]

Disappointingly that build does not feature a redesigned admin – is this not in the pipeline? It would be nice if it matched the new WP style!

Any update on a release date for 0.9?

[_ck_]

Well that was a sneaky WordPress release.

They usually seem to wait for Mondays.

If you don’t want to wait for the formal official release of bbPress 0.9 , this is technically 0.9 beta (or release candidate) directly from the trac/svn:

https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1381/branches/0.8?old_path=%2F&format=zip

You’ll need it to match the new password method in WordPress 2.5

There are a TON of subtle (and not so subtle) bug fixes in bbPress 0.9 – Sam and MDA have been hard at work.

[jom]

I think WordPress.org already had Gravatar support for quite a long time, but I’m also interested, if they do run 0.9 by now?

[felixbruin]

Some thing like this !?

[bryan868]

Just a shot in the dark, but I’m guessing the new WordPress.org is using an updated version of bbPress. Looks new-ish! (has gravatar support, etc)
