First of all, line 145 is blank – https://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/browser/profanity-filter/trunk/profanity-filter.php?rev=2946#L145

I already told you to try re-downloading it on the plugin page. There’s no need to post these error messages in multiple places.

The reason Profanity Filter makes your meta table bigger is that it caches the filtered text of posts, topic titles, and usernames to avoid having to filter through them and slow down your forum.

If the meta table did become a hundred times larger, it’s because you don’t have any other plugins that use meta.

Akismet catch in my blog 99 % of spam. In bbPress ck’s plugin Human Test works 100 %.

[Marius-]

But its common for all of these spambot registrations, that they have the exact same interests.

I would prefer that no spambots register at all, but when they appear so sophisticated, I hesitate with deleting them right away.

Human Test is kind of old now, and there are new programs out there like this: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/nospamuser/

That any good? Or better? Can you run both?

I’ve been using Support Forum plugin (by so1o, mdawaffe and SamBauers) since a couple of months now, but it was just today that I noticed its latest update is on November ’08…

Is there any chance it will get updates in the future? It currently has some minor bugs, configuration page display issues and it features A LOT of unnecessary queries to the database!

Recently I’ve begin wondering to heavily modify this great plugin on my own, but before actually start working I’d like to know from the authors if there is any updated unreleased version out there.

Thank you in advance!

Mmmm oh well.

[chrishajer]

You should contact your host or sys admin to configure permissions permanently for that directory. It’s not a bbPress issue but a host configuration issue.

[johnhiler]

Your best bet would probably be to find a premium WordPress theme that you like and then purchase that. Then I’m sure you could find someone to convert it to bbPress for you for a reasonably low rate.

[kevinjohngallagher]

I’m afraid that I don’t know of any quality premium bbPress theme website. There might be one or two out there, but as it stands I don’t know about it.

For the most part, this is due to people wanting a bbPress theme that matches their WordPress theme, and also for a lack of customer base. The idea of selling a theme is grand if you’re going to sell a significant number of them, other wise you have to decide if you get a significant Return on Investment.

If you’ve any special theme needs, please feel free to contact me on:

Are there any websites anywhere offering premium themes for bbPress? I’ve looked around and they all look pretty standard and not so great.

The default one is nice, but I do like the one used on this website but I doubt that is available anywhere.

So, premium themes anyone?

[frankpereiro]

I think this is great. I mean, I installed phpbb3 in my site and have been regreting it since users became more and more active.

I have a question, though. I’ve spent three days looking for some info (at google, wordpress, etc) and I think this is the right place.

Do I have to upload the bbpress files into the same directory where the phpbb files are right now or the new bbpress files can be anywhere? I’ve read that the database must be the same. My guess is that the files can be anywhere but I just want to make sure.

[chrishajer]

Not being an apologist for the lack of “subscribe to topic” here, but you can always create your own RSS to email subscriptions with either Feedblitz or Feedburner.

There is an RSS feed for this forum:

https://bbpress.org/forums/rss/forum/requests-and-feedback

Or this topic:

https://bbpress.org/forums/rss/topic/replace-the-mailing-list-with-a-forum

And there are additional RSS feeds throughout (recent topics and recent posts.) If you really want the information pushed to you, so you don’t have to check back, there are ways to make it happen.

Of course, subscribe to topic is in trunk now, but seems to be missing from this bbpress.org theme (in my view anyway, and possibly yours as well.)

[chrishajer]

I don’t see subscribe to topic here either. It’s supposed to be near the tags according to kevinjohngallagher, but I don’t see it when I am logged in.

What is your question about themes? You upload with FTP or SCP to your bbPress installation, into a folder called my-templates. Be sure the my-templates folder has 755 permissions, then your new theme folder has 755 permissions. And be sure it’s not inside ANOTHER folder. So, it should be like this:

bb-config.php

my-templates/

----bbpressblack/

style.css (with your header)

Should not be like this:

bb-config.php

my-templates/

----bbpressblack/

bbpressblack/

style.css (with your header)

I don’t think that would work

[copperblade]

(Oh and by the way, on this new theme at bbPress.org I don’t see subscribe to topic like I have currently in trunk…)

[chrishajer]

That’s not an error, it’s just a warning. If you turn off the display of warnings, does the plugin work?

If not, what version of bbPress are you using, what version of the plugin, and have you tried contacting the plugin author?

[nacclan]

Just a quick question. I have installed bbPress and I use the Blue theme but I would like to change the white background to a dark gray so the whole page looks the same.

I edited the style.css in the kakumei and found the ‘fff’ color for white and changed it but the large header text is black (default) and looks bad. Is there a main style I am missing to change this so It looks correct?

I would like to completely customize it to the site to blend it in.

Any help is much appr.

Google – Your best friend

[worklife]

I am having the same problem you had when you installed bbPress. The install went well with a message of 1 error and then notified me that “Installation was successful” and I received the Welcome and Login email. However, when I try and login, it defaults to the “install.php” and gives me the message: “bbPress is already installed.”

Can you help?

[kevinjohngallagher]

Unread post/topics – Is it really hard to made this?

1) Yes

2) There’s a plugin for this for just over 2 years.

Quoating and Posting reply

Roughly 2 years. But uses JavaScript.

i cant stay manual formatin of text with HTML. Its such waste of our time!

Loads of plugins for this. I know mine are from early 2008, and I’m sure _ck_’s bbcode lite and bbcode buttons are from before then.

Allowed quicktags.

That function. I dont know how change allowed tags. Right now Its not soo important…

“Tags are over-rated. People simply don’t use them – especially non-techy people who see the value. We have 7038 topics on bbPress.org and yet 35/39 Tags have less than 25 topics, the other 4 have more (but pagination doesn’t work in the new theme). Even if we don’t attempt to count duplicates, bbpress.org has less than 10% of all topics tagged. If we were to check for duplicates, it would definately half”

Automatic tags

Apart from my answer above.

There has been a plugin for this for 2 years.

Slug

I see where you’er coming from on this, but it’s not a great idea.

A forum is an N-to-N system. A blog is a 1-to-N (or few-to-N) so control of such things is needed and easier.

I am sure there will be some folks out there with good examples, but I’ve never ran into an issue with a slug of any forum I’ve used in all my years.

Thanks for your suggestions and time though

I know of at least one very complex, very high volume bbpress site that uses cloning very well. And stand-alone makes the site much more responsive. It even uses several installed copies of bbpress linked very well.

It’s the cost of the environment you chose. If you absolutely insist on using WordPress, you better be ready to throw a ton of hardware at it if you need to scale and insist on deep integration.

It’s perfectly possible to create cached portions of a site or common segments that can be included across WP and bbPress. It’s a matter of intelligent design.

When you start banking on 1mb of code loading per instance and a few dozen queries per user per page because of deep integration, you are guaranteed growth failure sooner or later – it just won’t scale.

[_ck_]

This is a long time bug with bbpress that I’ve pointed out a few times but it’s too late now I guess to change it’s behavior.

The problem is that repermalink is not called before the bb_init hook so little is known about the page you are on.

If you try to call repermalink manually, it may mess up things later because it doesn’t like to be called twice. However in some cases you can get away with it.

Note it’s almost ALWAYS more efficient to bypass the bbpress API unless the data you need is already loaded in memory/cache.

You can calculate the last page with a single get_var query, so it’s more efficient to do that yourself if you need it right away and can’t wait for when the templates start loading (or are bypassing the templates loading).

Since bbpress does not re-calculate post-position when a post is deleted, if there are deleted posts in a topic, the page calculation from the API will almost certainly be wrong (the more deleted, the more likely wrong if the user is not admin). Hence using your own query will again be better.

Somewhere I have a really fancy mysql query to calculate the real page a post is on, let me know if you want me to dig for it.

He wants the user wall plugin which I cannot release at this time.

And he’s starting to nag because he also asked last month:

[pagal]

Plugin have used in bbShowcase Forums….

No Personal intentions involve… If _ck_ share it with public then It will be a good addition in bbPress. Or any developer have another idea about it?

Thanks,
