Hi im having a few problems posting posts with backslashes in (ie for a location on a hard disk) they all seem to be removed from the post once it is up. can i stop this from happening as the posts dont make much sense without them?
im using bbpress in a buddypress setup
thanks

It’s a known bug, fixed in [2400] if I remember correctly.
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top100
Top 100 is enough for you? No need to register.
Moved the bbpress directory to verify it wasn’t a possible collision between the old “forums” page and the “forums” sub directory. Does not appear to be the issue (in other words same symptoms).
Also verified no errors in my server error log (get undefined get_header() errors if i remove the require(blah/wp-load.php))
Having similar issues…
Symptoms:
1) Blank forum page if i navigate to http://www.drunkencoders.com/forums/
2) Forum loads if i http://www.drunkencoders.com/forums/index.php
3) Blank page if i follow any of the forum title links
I did however have a wordpress page called “forums” at one point (since deleted) which would have also resolved to this location…possible issue?
I am using bb-config to load wp-load.php on startup per the suggestions (seems to work as indicated by direct navigation to index.php).
I am using the wp functions to load header and footer info (this also works as i get my wp site blog wrapped properly around my otherwise plain bbpress install if i navigate directly to index.php)
Any suggestions or thoughts?
agh, who registers to see just a list of websites.
thankee kindly pagal.
I am awfully eager to join a good community that uses bbpress as their forum software. Could you post some, please?
Thanks in advance.
I’m new to bbPress and I’m having the hardest time figuring out how to enable/display gravatars on my site.
I’ve tried:
if ( $avatar = bb_get_avatar( bb_get_current_user_info( ‘id’ ), 80 ) ) {
echo $avatar;
unset( $avatar ); }
With the PHP tags on the start and end. I’ve added the code on the profile.php file of my template as well as on the post.php file and nothing is showing.
Do I need to do an img src as well?
Since a lot of people still say version 0.9.0.6 is still good i installed it but was unable to set pretty permalinks and there was a never ending story of solutions on the forums like adding bbpress rules to wordpress htacess file or adding multiviews but none worked i even tried to copy the rewrite rules from bbpress to the htacess but no luck i end up on 404 page….
so i went back to version 1.0.2 and instaled svn version 2540 and altough its istalled the following error popped up above the bbpress last installation step (the one that gives us the admin password)
Database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘)’ at line 1]

can anyone tell me what i’m doing wrong or maybe what i can do to use pretty permalink in 0.9.0.6.
Thanks
Gravatars are built in to bbPress 1.0.x. You just need to enable them in your admin panel, then your template needs to be set up to display them.
The user’s gravatar will be displayed on your site if the email at gravatar.com and the email they registered with on your forum are the same.
Hi,
For my website I need the forum to be the Frontpage (main site), but I need wordpress for things like Facebook Connect plugins. Could I install BBpress on the root directory and have WordPress on a sub directory like http://www.forum.com/blog. Whilst still creating a deep intergration between the two ?
I may have found a solution.
I deleted all the bbPress files from my server.
Deleted all the tables from my database in MySql that began with the bb_ prefix.
Then started the process all over again.
However, this time I left the SECURE_AUTH_SALT field blank since it doesn’t show in my wp-admin/options.php page (even though it’s in my wp-config file).
Either the full reinstall or simply leaving that field blank worked.
Also, once I uninstalled bbPress I added the bbPress Integration plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/) to my WordPress install (don’t know if that’s made a difference either) but it said to add a couple lines to my wp-config.php file as well.
define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.somethingbeautifulpodcast.com’ );
define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );
I’ve hit the same snag. I tried logging out of my WordPress admin and now I can’t login to the BBpress install or WordPress install.
http://www.somethingbeautifulpodcast.com
http://www.somethingbeautifulpodcast.com/forums
When I click the login button on both WordPress and BBPress it simply sits on the same page or reloads the page. It’s as if the Login buttons are broken.
I’ve tried changing the force_ssl_admin to true as mentioned here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/admin-link-doesnt-take-me-to-dashboard
function force_ssl_admin($force = ‘true’) {
I’ve updated all my auth keys in both WP config and BP config as mentioned here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cannot-access-bb-admin
(https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/)
And I’ve added define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ ); to my WP and BP config files as well.
Still no luck.
Any help would be appreciated. If nothing else I may start searching for the uninstall thread.
thank you! But I would like to have a startpage telling: this forum is for those who got an Subsidy only. (and I mail these persons a general-login username and password).
After these (chozen) persons login with the general login, they can register and then see the blog.
I just don’t know how to make a general RESTRICTION to the whole bbpress folder..
i loaded bavatars yesterday, but no luck, and i couldn’t find a plugin called “gravatar” in bbpress. any ideas?
There was a plugin but I think it might be too old now.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-add-user/
I am looking for a plugin (or code) to make a login to the page so only the persons who have this login can see the forum..? like a “Registration to the bbpress folder”. I tried some folder-registrations but then bbpress does not work at all.
Thankx for any tips.
lol @ vanilla forums. I’ve been testing them for two weeks and would not recommend them to anyone.
I would go with http://vanillaforums.org
I wouldn’t even consider any other software at this point
Hey all..
I’m about to start a hacky project to integrate bbPress into WP.. but am thinking of putting it off if it’s just going to be a plugin soon.
Have there been any realistic time-frames mentioned for when the next (plugin) version is set for release?
Thx
Very nice!
That’s the second great use of forums as images that I’ve seen.
(the other one is http://gallery.weddingbee.com/ )
Well I wrote one fairly large plugin to handle the image uploading and added a few template functions to then display them. I also made a few modifications of existing plugins to achieve the views and rating functionality. My original post echoes most of this in more detail.
Aside from some small modifications to the profile page code (why isn’t there a template for this?!) all of the additional functionality has been achieved through plugins and theme code. I wrote most of the functionality into a plugin I am called bb-gallery. I am also using ajaxed-quote (detective), bb-ratings (mdawaffe), bb-topic-views (wittmania, _ck_), my-views (_ck_), and front-page-topics (_ck_, mdawaffe).
