Ah, see that was your problem we didn’t know about because of how you weren’t explaining it – bbpress makes plain text links clickable.
Thanks for following up on that zaerl.
2 things:
1) I am still using 0.9.0.5 because when I try to upgrade to the later versions and log back into my site (www.mocog.com) it says the username does not exist, even admin. I have cleared the cookies in my browser and still have the issue.
2) I believe the trouble started when I tried to do a wordpress integration about 9 months ago, so I am a little fuzzy on what all I did. I was confused as the tutorials are written to integrate bbpress into wordpress. Problem is I already have databases in bbpress that I don’t want to lose. I had created a sub-directory called blog. When I go to http://www.mocog.com/blog it shows my forum. I am thinking I did something wrong there.
Perfect world I would like to have the forum integrated into the blog (that doesn’t yet exist), can I do this??
Unfortunately that plugin isn’t working in my bbPress 0.9.0.6
Does any one else have any other solutions?
You need to post far more details about what you are trying to do and what exactly is “not working”.
In theory that plugin should work fine and you can even make it conditional so admin can post html code but not members.
Not sure why he does it after bb_init, so try it plain like this.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: zaerl No HTML
*/
function za_nh_allow_tag($tags) {return array();}
add_filter('bb_allowed_tags', 'za_nh_allow_tag',999);
?>
Should be all you need.
I decided to delete my admin name in an integrated 3.01 wordpress with bbpress 1.02 and associated all links/posts to a new admin. I obviously did forget about my rarely used bbpress and now I cannot enter the admin login for bbpress.
Can someone tell me how to fix it? My wp_usermeta for wp_capabilities is:
a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;} and
wp_usermeta for bb_capabilities is:
a:1:{s:6:”member”;b:1;}
I tried changing to “s:9:”keymaster”” for both but didn’t do anything. Any one have suggestion? Thank you.
bbPress 0.9 is just about to break 150k downloads
(that may include all previous versions too, I am uncertain if it was reset after 0.
bbPress 1.x has been downloaded over 121k times!
_ck_ plugins this weekend will break the 100k total downloads mark!
These are the top 10 _ck_ plugins:
bbPress Signatures
BBcode Lite
bbPress Smilies
Human Test
BBcode Buttons
bbPress Attachments
bbPress Polls
Hidden Forums
Post Count Plus
Topic Icons
I opened a topic asking how to disable html http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-disable-html-on-the-posts
Although the topic isn’t solved yet (well I was guessing it was gona be solved soon) but someone has closed the topic
Strange!
Just get working the meta description generator using Kawauso’s code on topic posts.
Although it seems it garbled the forum home page description so I am guessing that has to be done manually.
It also take tags as keywords (if provided)
Since the SVN only has a dozen languages in there, I’ve built a list of over 50 languages I have found over the years that bbPress internals have been translated into.
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-translation-internationalization-into-local-languages#post-1133
Some are more complete than others (people made a half hearted attempt and gave up, ie. on the backend). But some languages are hard to find so it’s handy to have a starting place and then you can fix them up with poedit.
It depends on what you’re after.
If your forum needs a specific Mobile version, then you’ll need to scout around.
If your forum needs a specific mobile stylesheet/theme, then creating one for bbPress is very simple, but there isn’t a public one out there that I know of.
Forums are tricky things. Worth it, but tricky.
Define your requirements, whats a must have and a nice to have, and you can make a decision alot easier that way 
Joel Spolsky has released StackOverflow to replace the current WordPress forums (powered by bbPress)
I’m also frustrated with the slow pace of work on bbPress, but “replace” what? The Stack Overflow folks have simply launched their own WordPress support (questions and answers) site, using their own technology platform, Stack Exchange. How does that “replace the current WordPress forums”?
FWIT, I run a WordPress support site using PHPBB3!
*(you cannot move a post from one forum to another*
I think I came across to a plugin which allows you to do that. Sorry can’t remember the name.
Just spoke to my hosting company. Unfortunately they don’t provide error logs.
Hola,
1. Plugins: Bozo users + Delete all bozos + Akismet + Skip Akismet (for admins and moderators) + Human test
2. bbPress is going to be in glotpress soon (I hope), meanwhile you can download the translation on your language made by the community
3. You can restrict access to bots with a robots.txt too
4. I recommend bbpress because is great for SEO, simple to use and friendly with your hosting needs (very light). It comes with some lacks yet (you cannot move a post from one forum to another) but it have a great future, much more when it will come as a wp plugin
¡Saludos!
Sorry, yeah, the error log on the server will let us see what’s going on.
The plugin doesn’t do anything fancy, nor make any native calls to the database or anything, it simply calls exisiting bbPress functions. That said, I might need to just accept that it’s bbPress1.0 only (though I was kinda sure it wasn’t).
Any info you could give us would be benefitial,
THANKS
its php 5. Are you talking about the error log on the server side?
The white screen is a 500 Internal Server Error. If you have access to error logs, you should be able to see what error is being logged. If not, you’re going to have to either display errors or log errors. Then you can see what’s happening.
What PHP version are you using?
1. Spammers – use Human Test to prevent them from registering the first time around. I can’t recommend Akismet because of the false positives and the fact that it doesn’t block all spammers.
2. Translation – not sure what to tell you. Translation takes time.
3. What needs to be managed with search engine traffic? If you have an XML sitemap, the search engines will follow it. If not, they follow links, unless you don’t want them to.
4. I don’t recommend anything other than bbPress, but only because I have never used anything else. The versions available now are standalone and in the future bbPress will be a WordPress plugin.
It doesn’t give any error messages, it just present you an empty white screen.
tried with the default theme too, still it gives you an empty white screen
After activating the plugin, you can’t access the forum. Actually it is more like you will see just an empty white screen.
Great, much better info, thanks.
Now what’s the error message please?
bbPress version = 0.9.0.6
This is probably the reason, but I’m sure I have it working on a bb0.9 version. i’ll double check.
Theme is Hybrid but a little bit customised.
And does it work on the default theme?
Also, is this plugin suppose to give any option to set up on the admin side?
No.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I am having this same exact issue. Running WP 3.0.1 and bbpress 1.0.2. Have tried the fix mentioned in this thread, however it did not work.
EDIT: Upon further research I found this plugin to work:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/apostrophe-and-or-quotation-marks-cause-backslash-to-appear
Nothing is over unless you don’t know how to code and are in a rush.
bbPress is very stable and very fast and there are literally ten thousand sites using it.
Every month that goes by you’ll simply have more options.
hmmm ! actually this SEO plugin blocks the forum.
Could you find it in the goodness of your heart to give a little more information?
What do you mean by block?
What version of bbpress are you using?
What error message did you get?
Basically, anything that gives actual information would be benefitial, and I’ll try and get a fix to you.
