Hi Kevin,
Thank you for your prompt reply. I am using WordPress 3.0.1 and bbPress 1.0.2
I will look into your links now, and let you know how it works out.
Thanks again!
MobileMe does not support server-side scripting languages, so it wouldn’t work. bbPress runs using PHP and MySQL. https://bbpress.org/about/requirements/
Actually it might be this:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/zaerl-wordpress-3-integration/
with the fix for it here:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/zaerl-wordpress-3-integration/
If only we could add some documentation like an FAQ this would be alot simpler…
What version of WordPress are you using?
What version of bbPress are you using?
please 
Hello,
I have set up a WordPress/bbPress integration at http://www.southwoodsmagazine.com . If you click on The Grapevine Forum, you will be directed to http://www.southwoodsmagazine.com/wordpress/bbpress which is where the bbPress installation resides. I have used ThemePress (From http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/ ) to carry the header, footer, etc over from the WordPress install.
I have successfully created the forums and kept the look consistent. The problem I am running into now is with the Registration process. When the visitor clicks on “Join Now” or “Register” they are directed to the Registration page. There are two required fields, Username and Email. I have filled both out, with a valid email address in the email field, and clicked the Register button. Upon doing so, nothing seems to happen. This is in Firefox. I then tried doing the same in Safari and it returned “There was a problem with your email; please check it.” beneath the Email field.
I can’t seem to figure out what would be the cause of this error. Does anyone have any thoughts? Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Since the plugins area is a separate copy of bbPress, it’s very possible a permission didn’t get copied over.
What happens if you logout and then login from the plugin area specifically, any change?
Thanks very much for the input _ck_
No, bbpress itself is stateless and does not use sessions.
Topic Views is one plugin that comes to mind that adds sessions to track when the same visitor sees the same topic over and over again to prevent the count from increasing.
Other plugins that deal with a multi-page registration process may also use sessions.
Does bbpress use sessions for anything? If so, what?
If it does, where are the files that the sessions are set in?
Many thanks
I know Alex popped up here once when we were mentioning Akismet, though I cant find the link, so i thoguht i’d quote this from him:
Akismet is for web spam
Akismet is not a blacklist nor a list of spammers. It takes into account all available information about each comment, and makes an individual decision based on the [forum] owner’s feedback. If you don’t want someone posting comments on your blog, just use the Spam button – Akismet will make a note of your preference and stop them from commenting on your [forum] in future (unless you subsequently use the Approve or Not Spam button).
So either it’s not happening, or its not working.

Amazing how many big guns come out of the woodwork to help bbpress when Matts here…
Latest Test:
For all examples below, “require_once” represents the command line: “require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-load.php’);”
At no time are errors displaying, nor are the error logs showing “internal 500 error.”
Test 1: Embedding “require_once” command line into “bb-config.php” causes blank page at forum (http://website.com/forum/) and no themes will load; including bbPress themes.
Test 2: With “require_once” command line still in “bb-config.php,” entering http://website.com/forum/index.php/ in browser FORCES any bbPress theme (no 3rd party themes) to load, BUT clicking on bbPress “admin” from within the bbPress forum (http://website.com/forum/index.php/) displays another blank page at (http://website.com/forum/bb-admin/).
Test 3: Removing “require_once” command line from “bb-config.php” file allows bbPress forum homepage to load (http://website.com/forum/) AND allows the bbPress admin page to load (http://website.com/forum/bb-admin/).
I host a website through a MobileMe account, and build the website with the iWeb app on my Apple (OS 10.6.4). Is it possible to host a bbPress forum on a website built and hosted this way? If so, how? Any help would be much appreciated.
Chris,
This just in…
Wasn’t able to get error log because page “wasn’t loading.” Apparently, the BLANK page in this scenario is an indication that no errors are occurring because nothing is attempting to load.
So, I forced the page (bbPress index.php) to load by entering “website/forum/index.php in the browser. Bingo, that forced a visible error. Here it is:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare pagelines_localize() (previously declared in /home/content/08/123456/html/website/wp-content/themes/iblogpro4_dev/core/globals.php:53) in /home/content/08/123456/html/website/wp-content/themes/iblogpro4_dev/core/globals.php on line 61
Thoughts?
Thanks.
@korti did you try these plugins?

They really work, the author of bbpress plugin nospamuser also talking in this topic.

Chris,
PERFECT! Thank you.
That said, I’m rounding up error log(s) now.
To think the code WAS right, but the BLANK page was sending me down a rabbit hole even after mentioning it to web host company several times. Arrrrgh!
Hello everyone,
I am very new to bbPress and BuddyPress but very familiar with WP. I love WP 3 and I use the BuddyPress plugin which works nicely, but when I activate the bbPress forums, it seems to lose most of the functionality. It doesn’t appear to install the full bbPress. How can I be sure it installs the ‘normal’ version of bbPress?
Wouldn’t a simple solution be to add a captcha key when they sign up as a user? I am by no means a programmer, and really just impressed myself that I could install bbpress with my wordpress, but it seems captcha codes work pretty good.
Maybe someone can make a plug in for it?
I cannot do anything about the users. I mark the posts as spam, but that info is not getting back to akismet (if it’s even supposed to.) So, all I can do here is remove the posts but cannot affect the users at all.
Actually, it is. Akismet is sent all the posts that you mark as spam or not spam.
If Bozo users is installed, Akismet can mark newly registered users as bozos but will not change the status of people that are already registered.
I personally think that a plugin such as bbPress Moderation Suite (or a modified version of the bozos plugin that allows moderators to mark users as bozos) would do very well here.
Marius,
Though I’ve given you code before and you’ve never came back to me when I’ve asked if it worked (or God Forbid) say Thank You:
May I suggest:

Maybe it is interessting but we have just modified the moderator new post modification plugin (https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/moderator-new-post-notification/) a little for the very same reason so we can moderate the first posts of new members. Those are now set to spam automatically and then can be reviewed first. It works together with the Akismet plugin for the moderation naturally.
You can download the modificaiton here (we use 0.9.0.6 so not sure it works with 1.x):
http://www.zenphoto.org/trac/attachment/wiki/ZenphotoPlugins/moderator_notification-moderate_firstposts.zip
Besides, I actually wanted to post this on the plugin’s comments but it seems I can’t.
Looking at the two images, you now have the correct location of wp-load.php. It’s up one level from the forum directory. But we’ve already established that. Now to see what the error actually is when you include that file.
This:
require_once('/home/content/08/123456/html/website/wp-load.php');
and this:
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wp-load.php');
Are ultimately doing the same thing. Method 2 here is going “up” one directory. Method one here just spells out the whole path. Both are including the same file and both are giving the white screen, which means there is a 500 Internal Server Error being logged somewhere. We need to see what the error is.
The first problem was the path to the file was incorrect (with some methods.) The problem is now that you are actually including the file, it’s erroring out. We need to see that error.
You can mass delete the posts using this Mass Edit plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mass-edit/
This is also useful – it lets you put certain IPs into a blocklist:

Good luck!!
