Hello, I’m interested in installing bbpress in the wordpress plugins folder. Is this possible?

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/

Then I want the forums to run on : http://website.com/forums/

I also want to integrate it with wordpress afterwards.

I have a site which I would like to set up both a forum and blog.

I intend to set up the forum first and I’m thinking of using bbpress forums.

Subsequently I want to add in the blog.

I’d like to ask for some opinions:

Should I put the bbpress forums under a subdomain or subdirectory?

Whether I put the forum under subdomain or subdirectory, how do I put it as the default page in the meantime? Like if I go to http://www.xyzdomain.com it will go straight to the forum page?

While I work on the blog, before its ready, I want to keep it hidden from public eyes.

How do I make it the main page without it being shown while its still in construction, and when its ready, I can unveil it easily?

Is it possible to setup bbPress and use it with buddypress as a global forum, rather than just for groups?

I want to do both:

1.) Use bbPress for forums within groups (I know it does this out of the box)

But also…

2.) Use bbPress as a stand-alone forum outside of groups for basic things like ”Site Feedback” and ”General Topics”.

I’m using the default buddypress theme. Thanks.

I wonder if anyone can help please. I have run an update to a WordPress site (created by someone else) that had bbpress integrated. I didn’t upgrade BBpress. Before the WP upgrade, the forum was working fine. However since the wordpress upgrade (from 2.9.2 to 3.1) we are having the following problems:

1) I cannot access the bbpress admin panel

2) The Forum is showing posts and topics but the reply form is missing (only the heading shows)

3) I cant see any way of creating posts, topics or threads so I presume something else is missing…

I had to rewrite the WordPress theme files as the original custom theme had been so badly coded / core hacked etc. I haven’t touched the custom bbpress theme so thought it would be something to do with that. So first thing I did was disable it and enabled the default bbpress theme (through phpmyadmin) but have exactly the same set of problems – which to me rules out a theme issue.

Anybody have any ideas where to start? Sorry I am not sure of bbpress version. Where do I find that?

[miruru]

Thank you for this fantastic plugin, even if it is still under development. Great work so far and well done.

However I just have one small problem and cannot work out why it’s happening.

I left the slugs as default in the Forum setting and went to view the admin profile. All data is being displayed correct, however the Page Title displays, “Nothing found for User Admin”. I’ve looked everywhere but cannot find where it is going wrong. I’ve tried a different theme to no avail. This is really annoying me.

I’ve checked all the other pages and they are fine just the user page. Is there something that is causing this? I’ve tried disabling the All In One SEO plugin and then the page title says “Not Found” and the data is still being displayed correctly.

Any help would be most appreciated.

I decided not to re-open ticket 1487 but wanted to share the actual resolution: site collapses after uploading latest files.

1. The theme was returned to WP default.
2. The bbpress plugin was deactivated.
3. The 2908 files were removed from the server.
4. The 2968 files were uploaded.
5. The bbpress plugin was reactivated.
6. Permalinks were resaved.
7. The “discussions” index page was resaved with the new template for index.
8. ALL forums were re-saved.

Now, the important distinction in the process is that the 2908 files were removed rather than simply over-writing files. Otherwise, errors are tossed all over the place.

Hope this helps others playing around with the bbpress plugin.

Hello there,

Anyone know this one:

WordPress Multisite, Buddypress properly installed. Installing BBpress, all goes well. After changing default user roles in the backoffice of BBpress, I can’t log in with the keymaster account. I’ve looked in the database, there’s only one user with ID 1 in bb_users. When I look in bb_usermeta the user with ID 1 has the meta value of a:1:{s:9:”keymaster”;b:1;}

I can log in with previously created users, but when I try the keymaster it keeps on saying “User does not exist”.

Anyone?

Hello I have installed bbpress and I got this error. I think in the folder includes/functions.bb-admin.php the file is there.

Any suggestion to solve this problem?

Thank you very much

[danzo123]

Not sure why I can’t change the theme to my bbPress at the moment.

I have created a new root directory called ‘my-templates’ and the permission is set to ‘755’

Yet, the theme doesn’t show up in my bbPress CMS.

I was able to change the theme yesterday, but not today for some reason. And my current theme (custom) isn’t even showing up in the root directory right now with the default kakumei themes where I uploaded it.

Any ideas?

[alexchenco]

The default works OK:

http://localhost/taiwantalk/?bbp_forum=technology

But setting the Permalinks to Month and name gives me a no found page.

http://localhost/taiwantalk/forums/forum/technology/

mod_rewrite is working as usual.

Any suggestions?

Upgrade the same way you upgrade wordpress.

You can install the new version over the old copy, just don’t delete anything.

Just make sure your template directory is not the same as bbpress default (kakumei) which you seem to be using “mytheme” so that’s fine.

These are the changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.3

https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/2958/tags/1.0.3?old=2339&old_path=%2Ftags%2F1.0.2

unfortunately the mime property was modified on files that were otherwise unchanged, so the file list looks huge, but most of them are unaffected.

also /jquery/interface.js was added in 1.0.3 but for some wrong reason they are using the packed version which is slower because it has to be unpacked on every page load, it should be the minified only version without packing and just let gzip do the compression work between the server and the browser

I’ve edited down the list and removed the property-only changes

They just announced it to the world this morning so I hope the 1.x users have upgraded to 1.0.3

http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2011/Mar/155

I suspect it was not enough time but there never is.

Note that my “block-long-queries” mini-plugin will protect you from this kind of attack and other yet unknown ones via the URL (GET requests)

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-103-released#post-84690

It will work in both bbPress and WordPress

There is really no reason to allow URIs to be longer than 255 characters but apache will allow up to 4000 by default which can carry a massive payload. I have seen some wordpress installs that need that limit bumped up to 320 or even 512, something about the akismet plugin needs very long URIs for some bad reason.

Alright, well I find a solution to my problem with a bit of SQL language tweaking. Apparently the issue deals with my MySQL version, but all I had to do was make a simple edit changing ‘TYPE’ to ‘ENGINE’.

So the line:

) TYPE = MYISAM DEFAULT CHARACTER SET 'utf8';

becomes:

) ENGINE = MYISAM DEFAULT CHARACTER SET 'utf8';

I hope this helps those who encounter the same problem.

Cheers.

Key master email not sent!

I have tried dropping all the bbPress tables and reinstalling it, but the problem still persists. I get this error message everytime after running the install script. I am running PHP 5.3.5 and MySQL 5.5.8 on a WAMP localhost server. Also, I am trying to integrate bbPress with my current WordPress blog…

Thanks in advance,

Well, maybe too risky.

I now use Instant Password, Private Forums and Role Manager to do the work, i.e. add member without sending email and random password and on a very basic level, limit unwanted registrations.

Instant Password lets member choose their own password.

Private Forums hides content from unregistered user.

Role Manager: I ticked out write permission for Member and added another role called “Writer” which is exactly the same with the default “Member” role. That way newly registered cannot post anything and that pretty much prevents some newbie from messing up the forums…

Try this:

– You first have to start the WordPress Loop

– Then call the get_template _part() function to get the forum template.

<?php

/*

Template Name: Forum

*/

@ePilipovic



/**

* @package WordPress

* @subpackage Default_Theme

*/



get_header(); ?>



<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php get_template_part( 'form', 'bbp_topic' ); ?>
