I’m having an issue along the same vain. I know where the bb-admin is but when I go to the URL it forwards me back to the main page.

In other words:

I enter http://www.yoursite.com/bbpress-directory/bb-admin/

and it forwards me to http://www.yoursite.com/bbpress-directory/

So I can’t think of a way to get to the admin area…

I want to setup a bbPress forum on my website EstateYard.com immediately, but my concern is what happens when eventually bbPress is turned into a WordPress plugin as they are planning to do? Will my forum members all need to re-register, and will I lose all my topics? Or will there be some way to integrate the entire database with my WordPress database?

Hi. My new forum can be found here http://cfdblaze.com/forums/

1. stationpro is the WP theme, and the bbPress forum, wordpress installed on main url and shares db with bbPress. I really don’t know code or php, but it looks like I am missing a file, see the warnings below, or at the site:

Warning: include(THEME_LIB/_contentfooter.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/cfdblaze/public_html/forums/bb-templates/BaseStationForum/footer.php on line 8

Warning: include(THEME_LIB/_contentfooter.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/cfdblaze/public_html/forums/bb-templates/BaseStationForum/footer.php on line 8

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘THEME_LIB/_contentfooter.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/cfdblaze/public_html/forums/bb-templates/BaseStationForum/footer.php on line 8

2. The mailchimp email widget in the lower right footer is jogged funny. On the regular site it looks fine. What can I do? I have looked at this on Safari and Firefox and it is the same on each.

I really appreciate any help whatsoever. Thank You!

New weird text replacements: TRAC tickets!

Oh, and forum header says: Welcome, username | | Log Out

[ghettobsd]

I was looking for where I could do this. Would it possibly be in :

bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/functions.formatting.php ?

Or would it be in one of the posting php files?

Any more tips you can offer I’d appreciate!

I had seen in another post someone refer to the following:

$str = preg_replace( ‘/`&[^;s]{0,6}$/’, ”, $str );

could that be modified to do what you said? Taken from functions.formatting.php

Thank you

Just want to be able to disable the visibility of the “username” as I feel this compromises security a bit.

You can hide it with a plugin but the user login is still in the URL:

bbpress.org/forums/profile/chrishajer

With a plugin of mine you can hide profile pages but it hide the entire page. Or in other words it spawn an error page with a custom message. I don’t think this is what you need.

Ah you mean you want to work under the display name in 1.x

The problem is the user functions in bbpress work with user login or the user id.

Security via obscurity never works for long.

But you’re probably working under user id # 1 which is also a potential security issue as it gives hackers a target.

[CSCLEGAL]

I mean like on this page: https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/chrishajer

Your username to login is chrishajer ? Just want to be able to disable the visibility of the “username” as I feel this compromises security a bit.

If you want the code tag to keep working but disable backticks, you’ll have to make a filter that encodes them into a html entity (`) before it gets to bbpress’s filters.

I think they mean where the admin is hidden on a system so the account is not a target to get hacked.

On each post, bbpress shows your level.

You can just create a different account to post with and another to administrate.

It’s your website, and you can do what you want within the terms of the licence. Sadly the links from this website to teh licence haven’t worked in about a week – I’m not sure anyone is working on it, it took the good folks at Automattic about 4 days to fix the homepage so I doubt links will be workigtn any time soon.

I would though suggest 2 things:

1) Just style it to match your theme. That way it won’t stand out, and you’ll be supporting the free software you are using for FREE!

2) Don’t download themes from “bbPress Themes” as they inject code into your website.

Hi all, just a simple question.

Am I allowed to remove the advertising from the bottom of bbPress and if so, how exactly do I go about it?

In the theme I’m running it really stands out, and it’s advertising three different websites.

XXX is proudly powered by bbPress. Design: Free CSS Templates – bbPress Port by bbPress Themes.

I’d like to remove it all or at an absolute minimum just all the theme advertising.

Cheers

Thank you for reply. Please send me link to download.

“White pages” means you’ve got a 500 server error.

If you open up your server error log it will say what’s going wrong.

Your code to me looks fine, as much as anyone can tell with the way this bbPress forum is currently handling code output

[JemzTouch]

Thanks for clearning that up.

I tried going to /bb-login.php/ but didn’t work.

All sorted now.

[kevinjohngallagher]

You cannot control bbPress from inside WordPress, so that one’s easy.

you have to go to http://www.yoursite.com/bbpress-directory/bb-admin/

[zaerl]

bbPress isn’t a WordPress plugin but a standalone software.

The administration panel of bbPres is at /bb-admin

[JemzTouch]

Hi,

This sounds pretty dumb and I feel dumb asking it but where is the Dashboard for bbpress?

I’ve integrated the wp site with bb using this plug in http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/

I cannot any way of controlling bbpress in my WP dashboard and I when I log into my bb-login.php it doesn’t show any bbpress dashboard.

Am I missing something right before my eyes?

Nice easy one for you hotshots – Help appreciated.

(I feel like one of those cases that use their CD tray as a mug holder)

The issue with loading WP header is that you don’t load a very important line for most plugins “bb_head()”

You could probably get around this issue by adding something like this in your bbPress theme’s functions.php:

function bb_head_in_wp_head() {

bb_head();

}

add_action( 'wp_head', bb_head_in_wp_head' );

Though this is true w/ deep integration:

(advantage you can load any WP functions in bbP. Disavantage it will slow down your forum because you’re loading WP & bbP at the same time constantly)

I’m using version 0.2 and it doesn’t the folders inside any plugins.

[chrishajer]

Chances are you did not set you database host. It’s hidden at the end of the database settings as an “advanced setting”. So, after you enter the database name, database user and password, tick the box and find the database host, and enter your host name there. If you don’t enter something there, bbPress looks on localhost. If your database is not located there, it won’t work.

Do you have a database host setting to enter?

EDIT: it seems sort of weird that you are getting this error now before having started the installation. Did you edit the bb-config.php manually before going to that URL? Or was there forum software installed here before?

[condos]

Hello

I uploaded, then uncompressed. bbpress is now in folder

http://www.site.com/forum

[chrishajer]

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/help-i-renamed-my-bbpress-file-directory-name

[amazingweb]

I want to exchange http://www.site.com/bbpress in http://www.site.com/forum

[Trent Adams]

It was my own stupidity. I never realized the hotlink until it was too late Thanks again
