If you try to add a tag to a topic that doesn’t have any tags yet, using the box below the topic title, the whole page refreshes in order to add the tag (whereas it should do it within the page using Ajax).

Even this is normal.

Then, if you try to delete all the tags in a topic which has more than one tag, when you attempt to delete the last one it flashes red to denote it’s being deleted, but it then pops up again and a message appears saying ‘An unidentified error has occurred.’

I had posted a fix for this on my blog – http://gaut.am/2009/12/tags-not-getting-deleted-in-bbpress/ (maybe this is your problem).

Hiya,

Very sorry for long post, hoping someone might be help to shed some light on this problem…

If you try to add a tag to a topic that doesn’t have any tags yet, using the box below the topic title, the whole page refreshes in order to add the tag (whereas it should do it within the page using Ajax).

If you try to add a tag to a topic which already has at least one tag, then it comes up within the page, highlighted yellow etc using Ajax. That should be normal.

Then, if you try to delete all the tags in a topic which has more than one tag, when you attempt to delete the last one it flashes red to denote it’s being deleted, but it then pops up again and a message appears saying ‘An unidentified error has occurred.‘

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago, with the tags ajax function not working, which I found out was due to a single space at the end of one plugin file.

Now though, I have disabled all plugins, am using the default template, I have re-uploaded both older backup versions and the latest trunk version of bbpress, but still have the problem!!

Am not sure if it could be a problem with the database? Looking at my database, the bb_tags and bb_tagged tables are both empty?? I do have tags in my forum though, where are they stored?

Does anyone have any clue as to the problem?

It could be the ajax is broken because of a random extra character somewhere?

Or the ‘unidentified error’ is due to the database??

And for integrate bbpress with wordpress 3.0?

[gadamiak]

Filed a ticket for this issue as it’s still present in r2442:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1292

[gadamiak]

Unfortunately, no change in r2442. I posted a ticket for this issue:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1293

[gadamiak]

Exactly. After that I manually deleted bbpress_been_blocked from usermeta table for that user but it got back somehow.

I just upgraded to latest revision from the trunk (2442), but the problem persists. This site is still in testing stage so I’m going to reinstall it and see if that helps.

I would contact the same person that installed your WordPress and ask them for help as it’s obvious you did not install it yourself.

You might also try an automated install but change your password afterwards and backup your database first:

One of the major things that bbPress doesn’t do well is make the forum easy to moderate in anyway. 7 clicks and 4 pages to delete 1 user, and no ability to mass delete is mental.

If you have a forum that needs constant moderation for any reason, bbpress might not be the best solution sadly

[kevinjohngallagher]

Did you change the user’s status via their profile page?

[kevinjohngallagher]

I am not happy about a lot of things with bbPress, specifically it’s management and communication; which have been shockingly bad for 2 years now. I also think tht Matt really dropped the ball on bbPress and then somewhat screwed us over with his comments against the “bbpress community” in his WordCap Keynote speech.

That said:

1) Don’t hide behind a fake profile. We all have opinions, and we all agree and disagree on many things. If you’ve got something to say, and you believe this is the place to say it, have the common decency to put your name to it.

.

.

.

2) One has to differentiate between Matt the person, and Matt the Founder/CEO/Employee of Automattic. I have no doubt that Matt 100% wanted bbPress to succeed and he did help reinvigourate the project for a little while, he just dropped the ball again; but breaking his own rules:

http://ma.tt/2009/08/kill-your-community/

As I said herein the link below, Matt should have delegated bbPress to someone and kept up communication as Matt is an insanely busy dude. There is no doubt that WordPress 3.0 would take priority over bbPress, and there’s all the other pies that Matt has his finger in.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/from-a-project-management-viewpoint

It’s not for you or me or anyone really to make demands of his or anyone else’s time. We can ask for information, especially really basic information that should be on this website – but Matt the person and Matt the head of Automattic doesn’t owe you/me/anybody anything.

.

.

.

3) I think Matt got it wrong and messed up. He did so a couple of times in a row imo. I think he then did really wrong by us publicly taking a go at the folks who keep this site going – I thought that was underhanded and a total slap in the face to all the moderators (sorry the ONLY moderator) and people who didn’t jump ship. I lost alot of respect for Matt the person when that happened.

I think he continues to allow this to spiral but not communicating with anyone in a moderator or higher position so that some of these same questions can be answered; but bbPress is not his focus, and really, thats his call to make not ours.

It’s not like it wasn’t like this for bbpress1.0’s release and bbPress0.9 release, and as Matt said, the’ve fecked this up before and nothing changes:

We’ve done this before. Relax.

4) I truly think this post covers my thoughts in a nice concise manner. And before making any posts like this, I strongly suggest reading it:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/whats-happening-with-bbpress/page/5#post-64410

It followed a post by Gautam, who’s done stellar work since Matt’s departure, and was followed by the only moderator left asking a simple question and then Matt leaving the project. I think it shows the difference from where “we” the community are and where Matt is. And that’s ok, we’re all allowed to be in different places.

But posts like this is never going to be helpful.

.

.

.

5) I think it’s very very wrong to state that Matt doesn’t have “heart, soul and brain”. The man is a really nice, wonderfully warm and smart human being. He’s just fracked up on this, and for teh first time in a long time, hasn’t looked at things objectively and help up his hands (which is one of the things I admire most about Matt over the years).

And bro, with all due respect to _ck_, without warning she left the project too and closed down her forum so we couldn’t access the code or discussions on it. I think _ck_ is an amazing amazing developer, and knows bbPress inside out; but I’m not sure on what you’re basing this presumption that she (or any of us) would be better at leading a community based project. _ck_ has in the past shown some signs of not being the happiest bunny when people start asking questions.

6) I’m still laughing at how childish your fake profile name is. “wtfmatt”. Ha, you really should have just called yourself “impatient13yearold”.

7) I was trying to reference this earlier. I wrote this alomst 18 months ago now. Crazy how much of it still holds true:

Hey,

I would love to be able to run a widget from my WP-blog in the bbPress forum. I know that bbPress doesn’t have a widget bit, but is it possible to do it still?

[haose]

Hi guys! I have a curious with this plugin. When a unregisterd user leave a comment on my blog, the username will be transfered correctly to forum, and a voice will be created. But i can not see the content of the comment.

But if i edit the comment on forum, i do see the content.

Plz help!

[Gautam Gupta]

That can be achieved by this patch – https://trac.bbpress.org/attachment/ticket/538/bbp_538_stas.diff

[Gautam Gupta]

The truth is that Matt DID come here to help the project and take on the development but it was the community (including me) who troubled Matt a lot that he left the project. Check – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/whats-happening-with-bbpress/page/5#post-64425

Also, mdawaffe has come back and most probably bbPress development would start after WordPress 3.0’s release. And, I and several others have also been contributing to trac and chrishajer has been committing the patches to SVN.

And please do not make fake profiles, you should have guts to come here and ask this with your own original profile.

[wtfmatt]

Who in god’s name is running things now? Why in god’s name can’t anyone fix the issues with bbpress.org? Why in god’s name can’t Matt ever grow up and let _ck_ or someone with a heart, soul, and brain, run the bbpress project?

Stop sucking up everybody and demand some answers! This could be the best forum software on the internet if it wasn’t chained down by laziness and politics a.k.a. selfishness and stubbornness!

How to unblock a user, who once got blocked?

Changing user role doesn’t unblock. Removing bbpress_been_blocked from usermeta table doesn’t either. What’s the trick?

Running 1.0.2.

[hope1]

Hi ya, I just installed it but I don’t plan to use it for WordPress so is this possible? I would like it to stand on it’s own as a link to a new website except I get this http://www.hope-gaming.com/bbpress/ and the url i specified is this http://www.hope-gaming.com/forums/ except the latter is giving me a 404 error and the 1st one is damn basic of which I cannot log in as I am then given the error again. Is it just a case of it taking time to show up? Thanks all.

[chrishajer]

I would just turn off registration (remove all links to the registration form) and then user something like this plugin to create the user accounts:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-add-user/

That is an old plugin but instructions on how to make it work for 1.0.2 are in the comments.

I thought there was a plugin by user zaerl that could help but I can’t find it right now.

[btko]

Thanks Reboot and Kevin, for your answers. That really cleared it up for me; and yes, it would be great if this information was sticky’d or something. For my site it’s basically a blog with a forum for under 100 users so bbPress sounds like exactly my solution.

Thanks again for the answers. And I hope to be around and help this community as well.

Regards,

[Beer]

Is it possible to restrict registration, so that only the admin can create new users? I want to run a small invitation-only forum with bbpress.

[chrishajer]

I saw that, but this post from sambauers led me to NOT recommend that:

Apostrophe and or quotation marks cause backslash to appear.

“magic_quotes_gpc should be off – always, it’s evil.”

So, if it does not work with magic quotes on, it’s probably a bug somewhere, with the integration, and for that reason I prefer the plugin solution here:

Apostrophe and or quotation marks cause backslash to appear.

Not sure what’s best as I’ve never been affected by the problem and therefore never tried to fix it.
