I’m getting this error message
You must specify a table prefix in your config.php file
This is using the same Config.php file I used for 0.8.1, the enty in the config.php is
$bb_table_prefix = ”; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!
(I don’t use table prefixes)
Edit
OK the workaround – use PHPmyadmin to rename all the tables with a prefix (I used the default bb_) and then update the config.php file.
sorry, took a break. that looks right to me, given your wordpress blog is at http://www.sitenameishere.com/wp/
also, you’re missing the semi-colon at the end of the require line – after the end paren ); but you may just not have typed that in here. check for that, it would break a site. Otherwise, not sure. Assuming the bbpress install works fine with the default theme…
well, this plugin names the images by username I think. It also has a default image if no avatar has been uploaded… shouldn’t there be some sort of code there to reference a person’s username?
How do I edit hot tags so that they point to a site outside the borad (like the default bbpress tag that points to the bbpress web site? There doesn’t seem to be any table field where tag address information is stored.
You’re running this on WP.com? How’d you manage that? 😮
Anyway, you need this fix because the default setting should indeed be 0. Once the fix is applied, you also have to go to each affected user and set their status to 0 again.
Thank you – sorry, some other anomolies/bugs! The bozo setting is strange as the default setting in the user profile is (literally) “1” but there is no entry imn the meta table. Manually setting the setting to “1” (including quotes) then generates the row in the meta table with the value “1” (including quotes) with the user set to bozo! Perhaps the default setting in the table should be 0.
Chosen passwords might be preferable to having to wait 48 hours or more for registration password to arrive. This mechanism seems unreliable, but I’m not sure if it is a local server issue or a WordPress.com issue…
“You’re the admin, right? You could just bookmark the page.”
-> Well, this is an option that I have in mind, but then all users that registered through bbpress will appear with “undefined” role in wordpress. And I can’t insert bbpress <?php login_form(); ?> in wordpress sidebar because it doesn’t work 
“Otherwise I suggest you write a plugin that uses the WP wp_login hook and changes the hopefully global $redirect_to depending on whether or not the user is admin. That’s for wp. bb default login behaviour is okay?”
-> Unfortunately, I have no idea of how to write a plugin or a simple function I can badly modify already made code.

Yup. Replace <?php tag_heat_map(); ?> in your copy of front-page.php with:
<?php tag_heat_map('limit=20'); ?>
Replace 20 with whatever you want. The default is 45.
Depends on your theme/templates I think. The default template is very small; I think files go between 15 and 20 kB. Obviously avatars can add a lot to that and whatever else you want to add to your theme (if anything) can too. But it’s not really about the software behind it that determines the bandwidth usage.
My bbpress is having trouble displaying stylesheets correctly. I am using the default style that bbpress comes with. I have it installed locally on a test environment.
The admin section looks exactly how it should, but the forum itself does not. I have noticed that the path to the stylesheet is incorrect.
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://localhostbbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css” type=”text/css” />
notice how after localhost the “” is the wrong way.
Not sure if anyone can tell me how to fix it.
in the admin page, the stylesheet path is correct
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://localhost/bbpress/bb-admin/style.css” type=”text/css” />
my config.php looks like this
// If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.
// Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.
// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.
$bb->domain = ‘http://localhost’; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com’
// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.
$bb->path = ‘/bbpress/’; // Example: ‘/forums/’
That’s right. A typical template file in your theme will be like this: bb_get_header() loads header.php from your theme’s folder or otherwise the default kakumei one (header.php should contain what is now in your second div called header), then there’s a bunch of content, and then bb_get_footer() will get the sidebar and the footer elements in footer.php. You won’t need to modify this or add any files or anything like that to make your theme, at least in all probability.
Because header.php and footer.php are always called, the unchanging HTML and php should all be in there.
header.php
html
head
//some head stuff, links and meta etc
/head
body
wrap
header
//header HTML for your logo etc
/header
whatevertemplate.php
.
content
//content HTML and php
/content
footer.php
.
sidebar
//sidebar HTML and stuff
/sidebar
footer
//footer HTML and stuff
/footer
/wrap
/body
/html
I hope that’s clear, it’s a little late so I might have some tired logic. This is pseudoHTML – body corresponds to <body>, but wrap corresponds to <div id="wrap"> and sidebar = <div id="sidebar"> etc. I hope that’s okay.
So there are usually only three files that directly contribute to the output of the forum. Most of the HTML you’re messing about with should go in header.php or footer.php.
bb_get_header() and bb_get_footer() deal with all the mucky stuff for you, you don’t need to ‘call’ them (if I’m understanding you right) from the main template individually. Just make sure they’re proper HTML inside header.php and footer.php.
Not by default install. Could be done by a plugin, but one to do it does not yet exist.
In the bbPress forums stylesheet (in the custom theme for bbPress.org, not the default theme), you have this:
.post {
overflow: hidden;
}
Can I request that you change the value to auto, to make it heaps easier to read users’ code postings (as they frequently overflow)?
.post {
overflow: auto;
}
The change in that ticket only covers moderators, admins and keymasters. Not members.
This is as it should be because members are not and should not be trusted by default. The automation of member signup, login and post is possible. Not to mention real human spamming by ill-intentioned “members”.
So this is behaviour by design as far as I can tell.
This could be done with a plugin. However there is no way to do this using a default install.
Hello
I’m having the same exact problem, with the same configuration: Win Xp with SP2 + Xampp.
Installation went fine, WP users (with the locally installed WP) are recognized, even the french translation file works.
The path to my stylesheet seems fine, I checked the source. But it won’t work.
I didn’t get how to fix it. I saw the PHP code but it doesn’t tell WHERE to put it. If anyone could tell, that would be great.

EDIT: I’ve tried to figure it out by myself but it didn’t work out.
I added the function in the “functions.php” file, and the add_filter in the “default-filters.php” file, both files being in the “bb-includes” folder.
What did I do wrong?
Doesn’t work for me… thanks for the suggestion though.
I’ve noticed that the URLs such as the profile links are broken as well.
I’m hoping there’s a plugin hook that I can use to override the default sanitize function… haven’t looked into it yet, but it seems like that’s where the problem is coming from.
Well, I was having those other problems, in my last thread.
I activated the mod_rewrite in Apache,
changed $bb->domain = ‘http://localhost’;
and $bb->path = ‘/blog/forums/’;
I had made the key_master “admin” which was same as my wordpress, which was a problem, but I fixed by altering the wp_usermeta as specified in another thread.
I believe that was it…. beside create a my-templates folder, and create a copy of the default one.
You don’t need that file. 
You have already installed, right? What did you last change?
I’m getting the following error:
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function load_default_textdomain() in S:Devxampphtdocsblogforumsbb-settings.php on line 143”
I get this whenever I try to access the Admin section logged in as Key Master, or whenever I try to go into bb-press/index.php or install.php.
That line is as follow in bb-settings –
// Load the default text localization domain.
load_default_textdomain();
Now….
Do I need a file if i’m using english?
My config.php is as follows:
define(‘BBLANG’, ”);
Any1?
I’m thinking it might have to do with the Apache modules. By default mod_rewrite wasn’t activated, I recently discovered. Any1 know of any other mods crucial for the bbPres to work?
Probably I found a solution: bozo status.
But there is another question, why all my registered users all bozos by default, how to change it?
The topic resolved thing is probably because that was written for an older version of bb which had that in it by default. I think installing the forum support plugin will add that column, worth a shot anyway?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/16?replies=7
Otherwise you could edit the php file and remove the bits about the topic_resolved column (remember to back up the original file in case it doesn’t work!).
Hello,
I’m installing this plugin for my forum. Evering goes well, I have the default avatar, the avatar tab but I can’t upload anything: when I click on the avatar tab, I have this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bb_get_current_user_info() in /home.13/s/p/l/spleenar/www/forum/avatar-upload.php on line 24
Can you help me?
