Unless you have like a tech blog, very few people know how/will bother getting a gravatar. I’d say 90% of people that register upload an avatar now.
Yah, I know that. I eventually used the WordPress custom avatar plugin and updated my bbpress theme to call that function from WordPress side of things.
You guessed right! A newbe:-) I figured out how to have a link from WP to bb. But not the other way round. Help. Using the Kakumei 1.0 theme.
Trunk is very stable. If you can install by subversion, that will be best because you will get the required backpress. If you grab the trunk from trac.bbpress.org you won’t get backpress (or Akismet I think.)
Can you install via svn in a shell? If not, I can package up the trunk release and make it available for download for you.
Yep, that’s probably it. Thanks for pointing this out! At least now I know why it’s happening.
That IS a pretty serious bug, but there is no public, stable release of bbpress that contains this fix. Latest version is 1.02 and it’s affected by this bug.
How safe is it to run the trunk version on a production site with existing 1.x plugins? You guys seem very close to having a stable release – milestone 1.03 has no open tickets and 1.1 only has 3.
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.
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.
Chances are you are using PHP 5.3. If you can downgrade to PHP 5.2, these warnings will go away.

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 ??
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
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.
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.

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
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”.
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/
Options +FollowSymlinks
# admin stuff, not processed

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!)
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.
bbPress 1.0.2

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