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.

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?

How about this:

[amazingweb]

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

how can I do that?

[Trent Adams]

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

gerikg, to make a feature request, open a ticket in trac and mark it as an enhancement under “type”.

Would it be wrong to suggest that 1) moving from 0.9 to 1.0 wasn’t done yesterday and 2) shouldn’t we test before rolling out this stuff?

I mean, Homepage being down for 3 days. Plugin directory not showing a months worth of updates. etc etc

Sadly quoting…

[kevinjohngallagher]

I guess most of these problems were from the plugin section previously using a semi-custom version of 0.9 and then they replaced it with 1.0 at stock settings

Try the original Plugin Browser Plugin, I had fixed it.

The plugins section needs a little love, not just the backtick problem but all of the “more” pages are not using the same template for some reason (the formatting is different).

It would be nice if those “more” pages also had the download count if that’s in the topic meta (can’t remember what Sam told me, I think they are tracked by day, but there also might be an easy summary right in the meta so the template could show echo $topic->downloads or something like that rather easily.

Oh and tags are not being imported on new plugins into the system.

There’s a much better way.

My “Hot Tags Plus” plugin makes the output into a static file, already compiled so there’s zero overhead the next time you want to display it.

You can then just use php’s readfile to include it on any page you want outside of (or even inside) bbPress, you just have to figure out the full path to it on the server.

Please do not make your own “fake” signatures on posts here at bbpress.org

First of all it’s likely to get your posts marked as spam by akismet which mods are not likely to restore to non-spam status.

But secondly, that’s what the profile fields are for, you can spam away in your profile all you’d like. Heck there’s a whole section here to post a topic/link to your own bbpress forum, so there’s no excuse.

Blocklist is now available:

bbPress 1.x feedback appreciated as it’s not been strongly tested on it and making the UI compatible with both versions was a little tricky.

Sorry about that Trent, I had only posted the theme as you left it.

I’ve now updated it with your newer copy so you don’t get hit with the hotlink.

[gerikg]

try this:

I had a better solution but I can’t remember it now. The code above only works if bbpress is in wordpress folder which 99% of people do.

[gerikg]

Can I request or how do I request that all views have their own class.

Hello,

I have just completed integrating bbPress into my WordPress MU installations. Buddypress is also installed, but I have not taken other steps in order to integrate Buddypress with bbPress significantly. It works really well: when a user signs up on WordPress, they appear as a user in bbPress.

I have only run into one problem, which is this.

On post.php in my theme file, I use <?php post_author_link(); ?> as a link the author’s profile. By my understanding, this should link to the Buddypress profile without any additional set up. Instead, when I click the link it goes to the post author’s site as defined in the user’s Profile in the WordPress Admin Dashboard. I want post_author_link to go to their Buddypress profile, not an external website. Obviously their Buddypress profiles are more important since the site focuses on community. Linking to an external site will detract from that quite greatly.

Thank you for any help on this matter.

I’m not sure I’m using the ‘WordPress bbPress cookie plugin’ you mention

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/

I have only tested it in my XAMPP sandbox (Debian) cause I had only few minutes for it. Apache/2.2.12, PHP/5.3.0, MySQL 5.1.37.

The “email is required” error can be spawn only from register.php file line 33 and only if $_POST isn’t defined (well I just made a quick look so I could have written something that isn’t true.) But it’s very strange. If you want to make a quick test do print_r($_POST); and see what you got.

Damn I can’t help. Maybe it’s the first time in my life in which I would like to have a software bug.

[rainbow_lazer]

OK, I figured it out. Here’s a link to my solution:

[Trent Adams]

That would be greatly appreciated _ck_ ! I still have a few major sites that I can’t seem to contact using the original theme with the call to the script, but I hope that they will eventually get tired of seeing the authentication screen on every page load with specific instructions to remove that particular line from their bbPress theme!

[_ck_]

Oh I can fix that Trent, sorry I just posted it as it was.

[Trent Adams]

Please don’t download the copy from bbshowcase.org as it still has a reference to the Anarchy Media plugin for wordpress in the header.php line 19 which needs to be removed. Since I was getting a call for every single page view for every single hit to every single site using it, the cheapest bandwidth was protecting the site. That being said, I have a copy that does work fine at:

Thanks,
