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?

Can I import old posts and users / passwords from a phpbb board?

I am looking to possibly switch over to using bbpress. Is it better than phpbb?

The phpbb board is having a lot of spam problems that I am working with. Thank you,

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

[Sithu Thwin]

I have the exactly the same problem. I’m using MySql server version 5.5.12 on iis . When I look at database from phpMyadmin. bbPress post tables are missing. So although everything fine on forum, I can’t view post nor add new post.

@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>

Hello, I’m very interested in that plugin. I have been waiting for something similar for months because my skills with bbpress and simple-press are not good enougth, but it seems a miracle someone build it.

How it is supposed can it be used?

I have wrote a file called import.php in the my-plugins folder, activated the plugin and tried to fire it with myforum.com?bbpressimport=1, but it does nothing.

I’ve also modified the statistics.php and added directly the function mbbb_init() and then loaded directly on index.php, but it also does nothing.

My bbpress is not integrated, but sits on the same database (different table prefixes)

Could you help with that?

Thank you in advance

I would like my bbpress forums to sit on the URL: http://www.mysite.com/forum/

Just like on this site: http://bbpress.org/forums/ displays all of the forums available. On my website the URL http://www.mysite.com/forums/ just throws a 404 and I don’t know ‘where’ that page is…?

Many thanks for your help in advance,

Paul

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.

Im using the simple-avatars-upload plugin on my WP site, and i was wondering if it was possible to be able to show those avatars on my bbPress forum? Basically link them across?

Im using latest WP 313 and latest version 1 of bbPress.

Thanks,

Jon

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!

If this is solved please explain your suggestion

Wanguard is helpful. That said, I have migrated over to BBpress, which has the same issues with registration: NO ADMIN CONTROL!!

I tried it with myself and i lost my data. But I think their should be some alternative method to change it. So any one have this method then please tell me too.

Hello,

I’m looking for a swedish translation of the bbPress 2.0 plugin. I’ve seen people here with swedish translations of bbPress 1.0, so I thought I’d ask if anybody are sitting on a translation for 2.0 before I start translating it on my own.

Thanks in advance.

[The 12th Doctor]

Is it possible to change from bbPress 2 to bbPress 1 without losing data etc?

[tooltrainer]

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.

@JJJ – Will the plugin update be available via the WP plugin panel? Just want to make sure I am looking in the correct place.

[GoBangAshley]

Sorry, i’ve just seen that the bbPress forums can be disabled from the component setup page. This allows the forum links to work again but i’m still not able to get the BuddyPress links to work.

Could I ask why we need to turn off the bbPress support – is it just designed for the standalone bbPress install?

[GoBangAshley]

If I go to BuddyPress / Forums / Use an existing bbPress installation, it says:

Existing bbPress Installation

BuddyPress can make use of your existing bbPress install. Just provide the location of your bb-config.php file, and BuddyPress will do the rest.

Do I just ignore this?

How do I turn off the forums, do I have to do something additional to ignoring this setup page?

Thanks

Ashley

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.
