I contacted him through his personal blog (which I felt very guilty about incidently).
I’m seeing him in Manchester in 3 weeks for the WordCamp, and was rather hoping my first sentance would be “thanks so much for the help” and not have him see a middle aged man crying the whole way through the weekend.
He didn’t disappoint.
http://backpress.automattic.com/ticket/18 (the blocker for 1.0.3) and http://backpress.automattic.com/ticket/25 (the annoying -> bug) have both been fixed and closed.
If you’re listening BackPress team, first drinks on me!
Thanks
Kev
It’s our pleasure.
You took screenshots, you gave us the info we wanted and we solved the bug.
Plus its a good place to point people (we get this question about once a week).
Enjoy your bbpress forum!
Great! Screenshots make life so much easier.
Ok so you physically know the files are there, but can’t load them in the browser (we get a 404).
If you’ve had htaccess issues before, I’d have a look there first, but really if it’s loading bbPress it shouldn’t be an issue (always good to rule things out though).
My gut, growing by the day sadly, tells me it’s a permissions issue. Which is not to say you’ve done anything wrong. Make sure that the “my-templates” directory and all directories/subfolders are at 0755.
Test again. if things work, then change everything under the “my-templates” directory to 0644, and confirm working.
Finally, and this is out on a limb a little, check you’re not running any caching plugins in wordpress.
If that doesn’t work, we’ll see what we can find in the back (the back is a mythical place apparently)
======================================================================
EDIT: Actually, do you have some form of htaccess command to change everything from http://www.shoeynet.com to just http://shoeynet.com ?
That might not be it, but it’s something else to knock off the list.
The files are not where you think they are, or the permissions are wrong. Or you have something weird going on with your WordPress .htaccess file. But if a physical file or directory exists on the server (like your forums directory) WordPress won’t handle the request for it.
Can you post a screenshot from your FTP program showing the location of all the theme files in relation to your bbPress installation?
Don’t worry about Deep Integration. If you don’t know it, you’ve not got it, and that makes life easier 
If you can’t load the stylesheet of the theme you want to use in your browser (and therefore independant of both wordpress and bbpress – as you’re essentially just loading a text file from a server), then that’ll be the issue.
Activating the theme you’re after would be great, as would telling us what folder it’s in and what it’s called
No I can’t
What’s deep intergration ? (Knew to this)
bbPress 1.0.2 and WordPress 3.0
Can you load the stylesheet of the theme you wish to load directly into the browser (by typing the URL into the address bar) ?
Are you using Deep Integration?
What version of bbPress and WordPress are you using?
Kev
Just ask if you want me to activate a theme for bbpress just to see, it doesn’t matter because no one can see it
I am running WordPress 3.0 on a Turnkey Linux based server that is my own (not hosted). I downloaded the latest version (1.0) of bbPress and put it in /var/www/wordpress on my server. I went to mysite.org/bbpress (that’s not my actual domain, but it’s an intranet site anyway so it doesn’t matter) and went through the installer. I created a mysql database and everything else. I skipped integrate with WordPress (for now) and the installer worked. I went to mysite.org/bbpress and I could see the front page of the forum and everything looked fine. When I try to log in using the Key Master username and password I got from the install, I get sent to a page with:

I went and deleted everything and started over with the same result. I don’t know if it means anything, but I didn’t get an email from the site with the Master Key password either. Can anyone give me an idea of what I might be doing wrong? I not a coding expert, but I can usually figure these kind of things out. I would really like to use bbPress as it looks like the best forum for my users (which includes a wide range of people many of whom are not technologically savy). If you need any more technical details let me know. Thanks in advance.
I’ve integrated bbpress on top of my wordpress installation
http://shoeynet.com
http://shoeynet.com/forums
No matter what I do, I cannot get the themes to work, all permissions are right and they are all in the right place, but I think it’s conflicting, I think wordpress is trying to take ownership of the theme files instead of bbpress
Can someone please help
(Because of issue, I’ve taken out link to forums from wordpress page)
Wow man, a 2 year old post…
I’d try here: https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/smf
3rd one down looks like a winner:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/successfully-convert-smf-20-rc1-to-bbpress-10
99/100 the best way is to convert from any forum to phpBB3 and from there to bbPress.
Good Luck
hy folks,
so there are new way to import smf forum in a bbpress forum?
I don’t believe you can.
I’m sure that bbPress requires a WordPress table prefix for integration, at least in the installer.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: My Profile Keys
*/
function my_profile_keys( $a ) {
$a['my_key_id'] = array(
true, // Required
'ID number', // Label
'text', // Type
'', // Value
'' // Default when not set
);
return $a;
}
add_filter( 'get_profile_keys', 'my_profile_keys' );
Untested, but should work. (Change the lt thing to a less than sign – the bbPress.org forums have some kind of glitch).
Not really. At least not easily, and there is no existing and easy to use plugin. That said, if you’re dilligent enough and have enough PHP skills you could probably garnish a solution from the threads _ck_ links to here:
Extra dropdown field in registration page
[EDIT chrishajer]
If you have bbPress integrated with WordPress (sharing database and logins), then I strongly suggest using WordPress for registrations as you can theme and plugin to your hearts content there.
Hey zaerl, how long till version 0.2 is out?
Howdy,
I’m after some feedback folks, and I’d really apprecaite anyone who could spare some time to jot me down some quick answers:
- If you use Deep Integration for a bbP/WP install, could you please list the reasons why?
- What data, if any, do you pull into your forum via a WordPress function?
- What WordPress plugins are displayed on your forum?
Any and all data from any level of bbPress user would be really really helpful.
Thank you,
Kev
What plugin you search? Maybe we help you?
I’m afraid that error has nothing to do with bbPress, but is a WordPress error. You’ll get a quicker answer if you asked on the WordPress supoprt forums.
Good Luck!
There should not be line numbers in that file. I wonder if someone on the WordPress side checked in code with line numbers?
What version of WordPress are you using? And honestly, this looks like a WordPress not bbPress issue.
Related to this recent report:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fatal-error-call-to-undefined-function-2
I’m loving the new theme but as someone mentioned above the plugin search page isn’t working. The title comes through but the link is broken. Can’t get to the plugin that I want!
Yes, I understund your vision, but in my experience with my wordpress blog (3 years of use …) before installing txfx subscribe to comment plugin, when someone reply to a comment, he never return however another reply was posted…
After installing the plugin, number of comments and reply increase 5x or 6x and really debats was engaged !
So whay not for bbpress ? is this really complicated to do ?
