There was a serious bug in earlier version of bbPress:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1150

If you delete a topic without any posts, you UNDELETE all posts, even posts on other topics.

Maybe a moderator did that, deleted a topic without posts? I think it’s probably something related to moderation.

It’s fixed in the latest trunk release.

[ph23man]

I’ve had this very odd issue suddenly crop up. All deleted posts on my forum have automatically become undeleted. Basically the post_status field in the bb_posts table is getting reset to 0 for all posts.

I’m running bbpress 1.02 that’s deep integrated with WP Multisite 3.0.1 (with Buddpress 1.2.5.2). It’s deep integrated, but I run bbpress by itself, NOT as a component of Buddypress (in the groups component). The site’s been running for a year and I’ve never experienced this issue until now.

Is there any code in bbpress that could cause something like this? Reseting all posts?

My web host recently upgraded PHP from 5.2.13 to 5.2.14 very recently, could there be some kind of incompatibility?

Another side-effect of this is that it throws off paging on topics and cuts off newer posts in the topic. The number of pages shown for each post stays the same even though deleted posts are visible again so this essentially pushes newer posts back. Doing a recount doesn’t fix this.

I’m having a hard time finding the cause although I somehow reproduced the problem. I had thought a moderator had restored deleted posts so I was going back deleting some posts that had been undeleted. When I was all done, I did a full recount. A few minutes later I found that all the posts that I had just re-deleted were restored again! I tried deleting some more posts and doing some recounts haven’t been able to reproduce the problem again.

I’m running the following plugins:

– Ajaxed Quote 1.2

– Allow Images 0.8

– BBcode Lite 1.0.3

– bbPress Moderation Suite 0.1-rc2

– bbPress signatures 0.2.0

– bbPress Smilies 0.0.8

– bb Topic Views 1.6.4

– BBVideo 0.24

– BuddyBar in bbPress 1.0.4

– Forum Last Poster 0.0.5

– Hidden Forums 0.0.9

– Post Count Plus 1.1.11

I’ve been running these plugins for a long time. The most recent one was bbpress Moderation Suite but I tested it pretty extensively on a development site (mirror) without issue.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I think _ck_’s plugin “My Views” can do this:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/my-views/

You can see it in action here:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/

Works only up until 0.9 though. Not sure if something similar exists for 1.0.

[chrishajer]

Chances are you are using PHP 5.3. If you can downgrade to PHP 5.2, these warnings will go away.

I’ve just tried to install bbpress forum, and during installation and after at the top of the screen I have got this warrnings:

Hi Pagal. Thanks for the answers

I didnt know that Menalto was out-dated. I’ve heard or Coppermine also….

1.

I saw Photosmash… nice integration with a WP blog… but how can it be compatible with a community (bbpress forum) ?

2.

What is the difference between WP + Buddypress -versus- WP + bbpress ??

[pagal]

Hi MPESGT01

I’ve an Idea, I hope you’ll like it.

You MUST consider WP and bbPress for your whole project. With this you can do everything….

An Awesome WP Theme for your info pages, blogs etc.

A seamless bbpress forums for discussion.

They can be integrated for Shared users, Database and Cookies Easily…

For Gallery

Never use Menalto for gallery. its out dated and less features and will be really hard to integrate it with your WP. Its my experience.

My Solution:

There is a really awesome / outstanding plugin for Picture Gallery. And It will definitely meet your requirements. I personally love this author’s work.

It’s PhotoSmash

Users can upload photos, for videos you can ask in his forums.

This gallery plugin is really really good, I can’t stop to write about it.

Dozens of cool features And…………….

Best of Luck,

Pagal

[chrishajer]

Pagal, you’re right: it’s not what we call integration. But other people have put their bbPress in an iframe to get it on their site. Your comment does not help answer the initial question at all. TangoTooL is looking for a way to change the text in the email confirmation message. Your comment is off topic.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Yo _ck_,

We also have a history of major changes in 0.1 releases. We might indulge in a little bit of inflation with a 2.0.

Matt didn’t give anything firm, or if he did , its in another discussion

John;

I appreciate that, and there is no crisis, but it would be great if you could keep us updated on this site going forward

[extremejacob]

Okay, figured out that two .htaccess files are okay. This is what I have in public_html/forum/

# BEGIN bbPress

Options -MultiViews

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^page/([0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/?$ /forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum/?$ / [R=302,L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^topic/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /topic.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

etc.

These rules seem to stay the same regardless of what kind of permalinks I set. Does that make sense?

As mentioned in the post at the top: The front page works fine. All the links are broken in named-based permalinks, but work fine with “None”.

[kai920]

I am using the default theme Kakumei (sp?). I don’t see any other errors of note in my MAMP log, and the Bluehost error log I don’t see anything useful either…

You know what, I disabled nicer permalinks (on localhost) and it seems to work now, so this plugin may be the culprit.

Could it be a conflict because my bb-press is installed in /forum?

Here is what my .htaccess looks like when Nicer Permalinks is enabled:

# BEGIN bbPress



Options -MultiViews



<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On



# /forum/ and bb_get_option( 'path' ) must match

RewriteBase /forum/

Thanks Kev! It appears my students are back in and able to post as well, so I’ll mark this mystery as resolved (but far from solved!)

[John James Jacoby]

I don’t even know what to say right now.

I want you all to know I’m reading everything, but I’m speechless.

@_ck_ I think that’s a good idea. Anything to minimize confusion.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/moved-forum-to-subdomain-frontpage-loads-but-forum-doesnt-work-now

[extremejacob]

I tried looking around for a solution, but I only found enough info to mess my system up slightly. I think I am missing one crucial part of the solution.

I have installed bbpress as

website.com/forum

with a folder

public_html/forum

This works great.

However, I want to move this to a subdomain like this

forum.website.com/

If I make such a subdomain on my host, this will also use the public_html/forum folder. So far so good. (I used my host’s cpanel for this, no redirects.)

I went to Admin/General Settings and changed the URL from

website.com/forum/ to forum.website.com/

What happens then is the all the forum names come up and you can log in, but the posts are gone. Also, I get a lot of 500 errors.

I use name-based permalinks. (I suspect the problem may have something to do with this?)

I figure I need to do some 301 redirects in my .htaccess for whenever someone has ahref’ed a forum post, that’s no problem—I’ll do that later.

The problem right now is that I can’t see the forum posts anymore?!

It’s like some of the databases work but others (the post) do not.

Did I do something wrong or am I missing something?

[chrishajer]

What plugins are you using, and what version of bbPress, PHP and MySQL?

[zaerl]

There isn’t a converter for bbPress neither for more advanced and used forum software (e.g. phpBB) as far as I know. You must write one.

[jebro]

This might be a really obsure question.

I have a huge MSSQL database from Telligent’s Community Server. Anyone know of a reasonable way to convert all this data into a bbpress MySQL database?

[pagal]

In which bbpress file?

Which Line?

[_ck_]

Didn’t Matt agree to call it 2.0 instead of 1.2 as a compromise to try to somewhat reduce the massive confusion that is going to happen?

This forum is about to become a complete jumble of 1.2 vs 1.1 vs 1.0 vs 0.9

Since 100% of the plugins are now useless, can some kind of header be put on the plugin section to warn people not to try to install any of them?

[mr_pelle]

Maybe when you make posts about bbPress on other websites, you could do us a favour and make a little 2 line forum post on this website too

I agree: after all, isn’t this supposed to be the main bbPress website?

[kevinjohngallagher]

Yo Gatuam,

I’m in a real positive mood mate, it’s a glorious day here in Edinburgh (ha, that don’t happen that often) during the largest Arts festival in the world, at a time when we have 8 festivals overlapping in 6 weeks. I am like a pig in the proverbial

And if they were subscribed to feeds, most of them would also have subscribed to BuddyPress feeds

That’s a massive presumption matey

All i’m saying is, hasn’t 20 years of the internet as we know it shown us not to presume about users?

or they would be using WordPress (so they may get to know about it from the dashboard)

If they happened to log in on the 20-24 hours it was on the dashboard

Which gets harder depending on timezones and y’know life. If it was up there for a week, well yeah, I think you’d be closer to being right

All i’m saying is this JJJ: Maybe when you make posts about bbPress on other websites, you could do us a favour and make a little 2 line forum post on this website too. All that’s needed is “hello folks, FYI, link”.

From my point of view, this covers 100% of bbPress users, where are not doing it covers less than 100%. To me, in a really positive sense, taking 1 minute to post “FYI, link, ” and make sure no-one feels lift out is really positive

bbPress users have a history of hearing things 3rd/4th/5th hand, and rarely do those things turn out positive. I believe that JJJ’s plug-in will be positive to countless people, and i’m positive he’s the man for the job. Lets communicate about something positive, in a positive way, to all users

As opposed to posting about software X, on software Y’s website, and hoping people use software Z to read the news about it for the 24 hours it showed it. That’s just comical – haha actually I wonder if there’s already a dilbert comic that covers such convoluted messaging…

Have a great day folks, i’m off to see my 3rd favourite comic ever tonight

[Gautam Gupta]

Kevin, let’s be positive.

Couldn’t you have even posted a blog post here or a forum post here just with a link “hey folks, wanted to make sure you saw this ” ?

If bbPress users don’t use WordPress, then 99.999% they would also not be coming to bbPress blog each day to check for updates. And if they were subscribed to feeds, most of them would also have subscribed to BuddyPress feeds or they would be using WordPress (so they may get to know about it from the dashboard). And even if anyone would have missed, he/she would have got to know about it via other blogs like wpmu (I am talking of the people who like to be up to date with bbPress happenings).
