Hi Johnhiler
I am also interested in the bbpress bilingual, can you help?
Please PM me with your suggestions/proposal much appreciated.
@chrishajer – thanks for the tip on the folder names – even though the older version of bbPress did not have trouble with a space in the folder name, the latest version does – so I used an underscore in place of the space, and that fixed the problem for me…..many, many thanks again for your help!
@Rich Pedley, thanks for the tip. I had to move out the contained businesslike directory, delete my-template/businesslike. Then I replaced the contained businesslike and it worked.
Thanks @chrishajer for all your help. Much appreciated.
well that’s easy then, move all the files from the subdirectory into the main one.
they should not be in my-template/businesslike/businesslike but in my-template/businesslike.
How to fix? you can move them them up a directory, then delete the contained businesslike directory.
@ kevinjohngallagher … I’m not a techi person.. can you please tell me what code of bbpress will use in “Hardcode your form here” and”Hardcode your form here” to show the bbpress login form into wordpress…
Hey guys,
You’re really trying to do something here that was never intended.
bbPress was coded to create the same (or a readable) cookie from wordpress.
Deep Integration, the allowing of wordpress functions to be called in bbPress, is totally unsupported and unintentional. If you can hack it to make it work then cool, but really, you’re on your own for the most part.
Calling bbpress functions in wordpress is always always always going to cause issues in the long run. it wasn’t built for it in any way shape or form. It’s a square peg in a round hole scenario, and if you can push something through then awesome, but sometimes it’s just not worth it.
The simplest and most straight forward solution is to work out what you want to do, and code that directly.
In this case:
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() || bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {
// Logged in user
// Hardcode your form here
} else {
// Not logged in
// Hardcode your form here
}
?>
Remember, hardcoding is your friend, because YOU control it 
@ mr_pelle & Gautam … I’ve tried it.. but nothing happened… I’m also searching the same solution..but not found any answer yet.. can you people please solve this topic…
We really need it..
here is my topic…

Here is another screen shot: http://guywingfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Snap.png
Yes, I’m not sure why businesslike is inside the businesslike directory or how I would fix this. In the new shot, you can see style.css is present there.
The last time I recall hearing about a permissions thing it was on a mac client as well. I remember the screenshot.
Why is there no style.css shown in the my-templates/businesslike/ directory?
Also, why is there a businesslike directory INSIDE the businesslike directory? Shouldn’t there just be one level under my-templates?
What is inside the directory my-templates/businesslike/businesslike/ ? Is that where your theme is? Is style.css present there?
Where did this header information come from:

Also, I have no idea how to view error logs. I’m using Cyberduck for my ftp if that helps
@Gautam I tried renaming kakumei something else and the forum displayed an error message and would not load so I switched the name back.
@chrishajer Here is a pic of my ftp and permission for my-templates: http://guywingfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Ftp-.png
Also, there are no spaces in the folder names.
Try renaming kakumei folder and see if bbPress still displays that or not.
Ah, OK, I get it. I didn’t realize that the window.open stuff was a javascript method (I told you I’m a novice!). Thanks for the clarification.
I think I also found another way to get the target=”_blank” code to validate (sort of): I noticed that my main site (www.scopedin.com) doesn’t return errors on that same sidebar code. I think it’s because the DOCTYPE at the top of the page is 1.0 transitional. I suppose I could use this in my bbpress header as well?
Thanks again for the help.
Do any of the folder names have spaces in them? The Internet hates spaces.
This was the discussion of mod_security changes by Hostgator causing (admittedly different) problems:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/suddenly-getting-error-when-posting-videos
I think either or both you you (cillian and TrishaM) need to find someone you trust who may be local who knows what they are looking at. It’s difficult to troubleshoot without being able to look at things first hand.
Can you post a screenshot of an FTP listing of the files and directories, showing permission and ownership?
Also, do you have access to error logs? It’s possible some sort of PHP function is turned off that is required for accessing these files.
FWIW, I use 1and1 as well and have no problem on several servers.
I have 1and1, I use dreamweaver and it doesn’t change permission smoothly. SOmetimes I need it change it through admin.1and1.com
I heard back from Network Solutions about this issue. Their response was basically:
Our SSL proxy doesn’t allow server-side variables to detect HTTPS (secure). All server-side coding will always detect HTTP (non-secure), and for programs that attempt to redirect non-secure connections (http://) to a secure connection (https://) will result in an infinite loop and server error after 30 seconds (newer technology browsers such as Firefox will detect this loop almost immediately and give up before 30 seconds). We cannot change this setting on our servers.
There is a 2nd paragraph with their recommended workaround, which is similar to my approach above of looking for ‘https:’ in the scheme of the URL.
I’m going to see if the bbPress developers would include the above code in their core. Seems like a worthwhile addition, or maybe they are aware of this and intentionally do not include it for various reasons.
I have godaddy linux hosting. My situation is exactly the same as TrishaM’s
Yes, the my-templates folder and its two sub-folders are set to 755. I did find that suggestion when searching for a fix, and made sure of that before posting my question, but it did not make any difference – I still can only choose from the two default (kakumei) themes……
I use 1&1 for hosting, and I don’t think they’ve made any changes but if I knew what to look for I could check that specifically – also, the my-templates folder was fine before I upgraded from 0.9.0.2 to the latest 1.0.2
What I’m doing in the meantime is just modifying the default kakumei theme, but that is not ideal because I’ll have to remember to keep it backed up and not overwrite it on the next upgrade…..I’d prefer to find a solution to the problem.
I’m grateful for any help anyone can offer.
I’d be curious to find out what is causing this. It’s a pretty simple system. Only a few things can go wrong (that I know of)
1. permissions of the my-templates folder
2. location of the my-templates folder
3. permissions of the individual folders inside my-templates
4. improper header
Maybe it will be something else in either of these cases and we can add to the list. Maybe there is some server function that is not present or the host recently changed a configuration. What hosting do you use?
mod_security being locked down recently at a couple hosts has caused problems for some people.
You may install the trunk version of bbPress (it has that feature in-built) or install this plugin by _ck_ – https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/subscribe-to-topic/
@Gautam: yeah sorry, I suggested that because I’m testing with no users db sharing, so I’ve to use bb_is_user_logged_in() instead of WP’s function.
Hi. I’m new to bbpress, and I seem to be having the same problem. The theme folders in my-templates do not show up on the Appearance page of my bb-admin. I’ve tried the 755 fix to no avail. Only the two default themes show up 
We are running bbpress 1.0.2 and we have had several user requests for a function that will let users subscribe to a topic or get an email notification that another user has replied to a post. I’ve looked through the extensions here but cannot find anything on this.
