What plugins do you have installed? Does this work with those plugins turned off?

If not, file a ticket and be sure to include what version of bbPress you’re using.

I just installed mod_pagespeed, which Google developed.

http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/docs/module.html

However, it seems to be dynamically changing my template CSS file.

Has anyone else had problems with mod_pagespeed and bbPress?

I’m running v0.9.0.6 but I assume this applies to all versions of bbPress.

bump. after reading wordpress and bbpress forums and posts and … finally coming to the realization that what I’m looking for is this “bbpress channels” extension. I’d love to know when it might be available? We’re going to unleash bbpress on hundreds of sites via a multisite server if we can get bbmu to work… I ‘spose I can write my own extension, but it’d be more fun to install and tweak yours. thanks!

[Rich Pedley]

bbPress as a plugin is being worked on, it should work with multisite straight out of the tin, so to speak.

Before they are posted on internet,every topic or posts need to be under examination.

if not,there is big risk for the owner of bbs once there are not “good”content.

but the most important function plug-in is unavailable.

who will help us (from chinese) to develop a plug-in for content examination?

control ,control,control~ we have to face the problem.

looking forward to the plug-in birth.

thank you very much.

Hi. I have the same question… I’m looking at how to give a bbpress forum for each of our multisite blogs that get created. I have simplepress working that way, but we want to kick the tires of bbpress as it seems to be sweeter.

I ran into this problem, too:

Trouble with admin user and getting started

The reason I was having it related to our server requiring https and the admin cookie not being set correctly when it is initially established. see link for my workaround.

bbailie: if you no longer own the files, you’ll need to contact the support folks at your hoster and ask them to change the ownership back to you.

once you delete those files and are back to square one, try going through these instructions step by step:

Idiots guide to installing

If you decide to try again without deleting and re-unzipping the bbpress.zip archive, just make sure to delete the bb_* tables from your database and delete (or rename) the bb-config.php file. That will get you passed the “oh dear” message…

Resolved:

Here was the problem (this is probably a bug).

At the apache level we are requiring ssl on the server I’m installing bbpress on.

When I login as the admin user, it sets the cookie in “auth” not “secure_auth” mode, but then when it goes to check for the admin cookie, it checks “secure_auth” mode because the connection is https.

the workaround was to add:

define (‘BB_FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);

to my bb-config.php file. Log out and log in. Then the admin cookie is set in a way that it can be correctly validated.

Now I can login as admin.

@Ashfame: Thanks. Your reply reminded me to try installing bbPress with the WP’s DB, and then it works.

I thought WP and bbPress don’t have to share the same DB according to bbPress installer’s note and I’ve integrated WP and bbpress successfully in localhost with separate DB. However, I wasn’t realized that the webhosting company’s mySQL setting might be different from local.

Thanks again.

Thanks Rick Pedley.

Anyone has a demo of the plugin running in a webiste with a child theme?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

are WP and bbP in the same db?

what did you do to integrate them? you probably did something wrong due to which bbPress is not looking at the right place

@Rixos: Go to the database, find the “bb_meta” table, and kill the blog url, table prefix and blog ID. Then your bbPress will return unintegrated.

Hi everyone,

I have this problem, too. Not only keymaster but all user accounts in WP and bbPress can’t login to bbPress anymore after integrating user DB. Same symptom as Rixos’. My bbPress says the user does not exist while trying login with any user accounts.

I think my bbPress somehow just can’t find the WP user DB and is disconnected with the existing bbPress user DB. Therefore I can’t make any new registrations successful either after user DB integration.

Any idea to fix this problem? BTW, my WP 3 is MU enabled and runs BuddyPress plugin.

Google custom search is an alternative..

If it makes no sense to you, why post a reply?

Our server is on one of the largest corporate web hosts in the world, Peer One. They could resolve it, but professionally managed servers incur some fees when we have to have them go in.

Somebody must have written the script to create the folders, and done so without the correct user auth. I see this has been discussed on this forum in regards to others’ plugins. It appears to be the same issue.

My thought was that I’m not alone in having this issue with the current install, so maybe it would make sense to someone. Or perhaps they already wrote an uninstall script for it to test on a clean server.

Apparently many users had old copies of bbPress required manual creation of those folders. Thus, when installing a new version, the problem would not manifest itself.

Thanks to JJJ for pointing this topic out to me.

Right now, my forum plugin isn’t planned for public release. I’d much rather see a community-supported plugin because a lot more can get done. The plugin could simply be better developed and have better support if it’s a community-run project. Make no mistake, a plugin like this is massive amounts of work, more than one person can realistically handle. Honestly, I don’t want to be the only person developing and supporting a forum plugin.

The reasons I’ve been doing my own thing rather than fully devoting my time to bbPress:

1) I just wanted to see if I could do it for fun.

2) I had some projects that needed basic forum functionality that couldn’t wait for alternate solutions.

3) Everybody wants something, mostly things I don’t believe belong in a lightweight forum plugin.

4) I’ve been hesitant to get more involved in bbPress because I don’t want to deal with all the drama here.

I just finished three months of intense writing for a WP plugin book, so my time has been limited for a while. I’ve still got book-related things this month as well. Once this process is done, I plan to devote more time to the bbPress plugin.

What we want:

These are the things I believe most of us want, which is the reasons I put together a plugin and the reasons for the bbPress plugin. This comes down to two things:

* A plugin that easily integrates into the WordPress user/role and login system.

* Forums that can be managed from our WP admins.

It’s basically about being able to run forums without a lot of hassle.

The direction I’d like to see the bbPress plugin go:

* Stick with the philosophy: lightweight and basic.

* Allow plugins to extend anything needed beyond basic forum functionality.

* Use the functions WordPress provides where possible.

* Forget backwards-compatible hooks and functions. Build a new system.
