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!)

[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.

[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).

[kevinjohngallagher]

Bro, there is zero doubt in my mind that you were always thinking of us, and your plug-in will please a great many people.

since both blogs feed into the WP dashboard you’re all going to see it regardless

But is it ok to suggest that not everyone who uses bbPress, also checks a WordPress install’s Dashboard that regularly? Especially as your post was bumped off that list in under 24 hours (it only shows the last 5 posts pulled in from entire 31 feeds it aggregates).

We’re not afflicted matey, thankfully many of us are in good health, but it’s hard sometimes to not find it difficult when we’re treated with presumptions.

Having to log into a WordPress install once every 24 hours ad infinitum just to check if someone’s posting bbPress news on another website, just seems a little daft.

Maybe when you make posts about bbPress on other websites, especially ones that have more info than has been posted here, 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”.

[John James Jacoby]

Thanks Rich! Me too!

[Rich Pedley]

Looking forward to it JJJ.

[John James Jacoby]

Aw, you’re all so afflicted.

A few of the more vocal people in the BuddyPress forums raised concerns about me dual wielding projects, so it made more sense to address it there than here. Plus there’s a bigger audience over there, and since both blogs feed into the WP dashboard you’re all going to see it regardless.

It’s easy to assume that no one is thinking of you guys, I am, I was, and I did.

And yes, I’d like to have /something/ usable in a month or so, like I said in that post “give or take a missing feature or two.”

So, buck up.

[mikkelsen]

Thanks for the link Gautam. I’m really looking forward to the plugin.

I would however appreciate some more info on THIS site. It feels a bit strange that we don’t hear information like that on bbpress.org.

[pagal]

Its not integrated at all…

you’ve just used

<IFRAME SRC="http://tangotool.com/gmodforum/bbpress/" WIDTH=870 HEIGHT=1600></iframe>

I’m sorry but we don’t call it seamless or deep integration.

[chrishajer]

You can learn about the capabilities assigned to each role in the file bb-includes/functions.bb-capabilities/php

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/tags/1.0.2/bb-includes/functions.bb-capabilities.php#L56

[pagal]

Well, According to my little bit experience in bbPress World, its really not a good method to use just iframe to make forums seamless.

You’ll actually need to make your forums seamless / deep integrated with wordpress by following these Instructions. I hope it will work. Thanks

[chrishajer]

Try this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registration-email-1#post-71361

You can modify the registration email and add the proper link there.

You could also do it with Mod Rewrite and .htaccess. But since you are not using permalinks on your site, maybe you don’t have access to mod_rewrite with .htaccess.

[chrishajer]

Shane, if you would like to talk to someone about having this work done for you, please post your contact information here and then we will close the topic and people can contact you directly. Thanks.

Specifically, Key Master and Administrator?

They seem pretty interchangable… I know the BBPress Doc files are pretty infantile at the moment, but what are the key differences between all the roles?
