With bbpress installed, my WordPress permalinks now throw 404 errors!

What is that all about?!

How do I overcome this?

Surely this is a very basic requirment of such a plugin!?

Any idea?

I got a hack for it if you are using MySql 5.5.

It reported on trac at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1486

Change TYPE = MYISAM to ENGINE = MYISAM in your bbPress installation’s bb-admin/includes/defaults.bb-schema.php

@ideoplasm Adding a voting or rating system into bbPress 2.0 is extremely easy.

You can use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-postratings

or this one: http://www.gdstarrating.com/

Then just add the rating function in loop-topics.php (inside the loop).

You can do the same for loop-replies.php

I’m working in a voting forum myself.

This is an example:

<div class="topic-rating-count">

<h4><?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?></h4>

<span><?php _e( 'rating' ); ?></span>

</div>

<div class="topic-reply-count">

<h4><?php bbp_topic_reply_count(); ?></h4>

<span><?php _e( 'replies' ); ?></span>

</div>

<div class="topic-freshness">

<h4><?php bbp_topic_freshness_link(); ?></h4>

<span>									  <?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?>

</span>

</div>

Hi,

Today, I installed bbPress on my WordPress blog site and most things are working. The install log said “>>> Key master email not sent!” but all else went fine including WordPress integration as I can see my forum user names (I created two) replicate in my WordPress Dashboard Users area.

As the Key Master of bbPress, I have also successfully created two forum categories and several sub-forums (children) where members can post messages…theoretically.

But, I’m experiencing the following issues that I have no clue how to resolve:

1. Signed in as the Key Master, I don’t see where I can create a new post

2. As part of registering as a forum user using a different user name, I did not receive an e-mail containing my password. So, I signed into my WordPress Dashboard Users area and assigned my second user name one so I could access my forum with my non-Key Master user name. Not having this forum registration process work without having to sign into WordPress is a problem.

3. No matter which user name I sign into the forum with, when I click on any listing in the Forum Main Theme’s area, I get the “The page cannot be found” error message. See: http://wolfetracksproductions.com/fresh_tracks/forum/

4. When I get the “The page cannot be found” error message, the URL repeats the directory where I installed the bbPress software and I’m not clear as to why this is happening: http://wolfetracksproductions.com/fresh_tracks/forum/forum/production

I did install the bbPress software in a folder called “forum” which is a subfolder of my WordPress.org blogging software.

Please help!

Thank you in advance for your kindness.

Hi, I also have a wordpress blog site. I’d like to put a “message board”-style Forums page on the site. Is this possible with bbPress? If so, how do I do it? I’m unclear how you get from the Installation to use on a WordPress page.

Thanks in advance for your help with this!

FYI I just got a bit more info from the user that was having this problem. Turns out it is NOT a forum error and is a WordPress specific error. He only gets it when commenting in the WP section of my site.

That’s one “downside” of sorts with the integrated forum plugin… users can’t tell what’s WordPress and what’s bbPress, if they aren’t real familiar with both.

This is how I start a custom loop for a WordPress loop:

<br />

<?php $custom_posts = new WP_Query(); ?><br />

<?php $custom_posts->query('post_type=post&category=Uncategorized&order=ASC'); ?><br />

<?php while ($custom_posts->have_posts()) : $custom_posts->the_post(); ?><br />

<div class="project"><br />

<a>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'twentyten' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a><br />

<h2><a>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'twentyten' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2><br />

<p><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'rw_services', true);  ?></p><br />

</div><br />

<?php endwhile; ?><br />

How to start a custom loop in bbpress 2.0, For example, topics from a certain forum or category? (and even show the reply count?)

Hi a have wordpress website http://www.smile.mk/ and i need to install bbpress, is there any step by step guide for this.

Thanks

[Greg]

I recently looked at bbpress.org for the first time in a while and was excited to see the progress on the plugin.

I run a bbPress install that has thousands of signed in members and receives about 500k pageviews per month (1,000+ new topics, 18,000+ posts). It ain’t no Facebook, but with WP deep integration it requires a beefy dedicated server to keep it running smoothly.

I was wondering whether bbPress 2.0 was designed with something like this (or larger) in mind, or whether it is more for small forum use only.

The reason I ask is because I notice that (1) all topics/replies will go into the same db table and (2) some things that were denormalised in bb_posts/bb_topics for performance are no longer denormalised in the plugin. For the latter I’m thinking of the number of replies per topic, the last poster in a topic, etc.

It seems that the queries to build paginated topic lists might involve some quite complex joins over very large tables as a result. Is this the case, or am I missing some aspect of the design?

I know that the WP engine handles all of this for blogs, but blogs (even on wordpress.com, where each individual blog has its own post table) do not typically scale to 1000s of posts per day.

Bottom line, will bbPress 2.0 be advisable for larger installs? Or is that still a job for the standalone version?

Thanks.

And finally: auth_cookie_bad_hash gets fire up in the wp-auth.php. So: $hmac != $hash. bb-config, bb-settings, wp-config and wp-settings weren’t changed since I set up wordpress+bbppress.

Hi, I’ve just installed bbpress and I’m having problems with table spacing. The first few letters get cut off in the main index, I’m left with “opic Title” instead of “Topic Title”, and the thread titles are missing the first 2 letters as well. I’ve done a string search for “topic title” in the bbpress directory, but I can’t seem to find the related code. Any advice on how to fix this problem?

Hello

For two years bbpress and wordpress were working together just fine. Today something happened. For some reason people can login to the wordpress ($user_ID has got proper value), but they can’t reply to the topics (they can’t also create new topics). I print_r $_COOKIE and there is everything normal. The strange thing is also with the bb-admin. It redirects me to the front-page.php. I dug down and found bb_get_current_admin_menu, then bb_current_user_can and finally $bb_current_user (which is 0). So, the questions are: why bbpress stopped working with wordpress, how do I debug bbpress and where do I find queries/functions that matches $_COOKIE against database ?

I am trying to create a custom theme for the bbPress Plugin (v 2.0-beta-2b) using the steps outlined in the Theme Compatibility Post (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility).

The original WordPress theme was created by me so I am following the steps in method #2 in the Theme Compatibility post. I copied all the files in the plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten into the root of my theme (themes/[my-theme]). I made sure to include the single- archive- and page- files.

I also added theme support to the functions.php file in my theme folder:

add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );

However, on the forums main page (/forums), I see the main forum index multiple times. It looks like each forum I have created is being shown as a post and under each post the forum index is being shown.

Am I missing a crucial step in getting the custom bbPress theme setup?

Thanks for your help.

Apologies on the delay. I was out of town until today. I really have no idea what I’m doing in the trac system, I hope what I’ve submitted is acceptable

@JJJ – Will you put an update on http://bbpdevel.wordpress.com/

[miruru]

bbPress Plugin Version 2.0-beta-2b

WordPress Version: 3.1.3

Whenever I am creating a new category or forum, I always end up with a duplicated category or forum and it is always nested for example:

Category 1:

-Forum

–Forum

And if i edit it, it adds another category or forum.

I’ve even deleted all the categories and forums and the same thing happens.

I’m confused as to what is going on.

Hi guys

New to bbPress but have developed a couple WordPress sites.

My latest project needed a forum so I decided to give bbPress a try. First installed WordPress, then installed bbPress into its own directory (permaculture-bb-forum) and did a deep integration. THEN found out WordPress bbPress plugin, installed it, activated it and now see bb stuff in the WordPress admin.

Unfortunately, that interface shows nothing of the posts/topics/forums setup in bb-admin and stuff added via WordPress dashboard does not show up in the bb.

What’s this all about? Can the plugin <i>NOT</i> be used if you first have already installed bbPress? Are there any docs, videos on this?

Hiya guys, im using bbPress 2.0 and i was wondering if it was possible to have an avatar gallery with it? Or somehow use an Avatar gallery? Would i need to find a plugin from WordPress? Or is there some other way to do it?!

Thanks!

Hey thanks, that helped.

Now here’s another issue. I first installed WordPress, then installed bbPress and did a deep integration. THEN i found out about a WordPress bbPress plugin, installed it, activated it and now see bb stuff in the WordPress admin. Unfortunately, that interface shows nothing of the posts/topics/forums setup in bb-admin and stuff added via WordPress dashboard does not show up in the bb.

I’d use a custom taxonomy, and a creative UI. Seems it could be done pretty easily with the right developer.
