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

“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.

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

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.

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

when i go to the above i get the message

ERROR: Could not establish a database connection

any ideas?

[chrishajer]

How about this:

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

how can I do that?

[Trent Adams]

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

[chrishajer]

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.

[_ck_]

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.
