Are the settings:

define( 'BBDB_NAME', 'bbpress' );

define( 'BBDB_USER', 'username' );

define( 'BBDB_PASSWORD', 'password' );

define( 'BBDB_HOST', 'localhost' );

equal to WordPress counterparts?

Individual files, like icons, php files, js files, can be 644. Directories should be 755.

755 forum

755 my-plugins

755 topic-icons

755 icons

I have hidden forum plugin: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/

How do I do If this is a hidden forum print out “this is a hidden forum”?

It looks like your page is crashing before it’s done rendering… this page seems to end abruptly on this line:

<li id=”post-4″ class=”alt”>

http://forums.moochyschwag.com/topic.php?id=3

Can you look in your template files and see what the next line of PHP is? I’m guessing it’s somewhere in your topic.php template…

http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/bb-templates/kakumei/topic.php

Once you can figure out what’s causing it to crash, maybe we can change your server settings…

[moochyschwag]

I literally just replaced every file on the server except the config file. I checked both themes: kakumei and kakumei blue. And it’s still gone. No plugins are active or even on the server except Askimet, Bozo Users and Hello Louis all of which are disabled. Is there another version of bbpress I can use?

Hello,

I recently moved a WP site + BBpress to another host (but im using the same domain), so I set up whole new DB for each, and imported the old DBs.

WP is working fine, I just had to edit the wp-config file and it connected perfectly to the new db (with the old data imported).

The problem is BBpress now. I thought that just editing the DB info in the bb-config file with the new DB would have been enough, but it’s now giving me this: ERROR: Could not establish a database connection

But I know that everything is correct! (i use a plugin on WP that retrieves all the topic from BBpress and it is retrieving everything from the new BBpress DB).

I wonder if there’s more I should edit? but where?

Could the problem be that WP and BBpress were integrated? Where can I change the WP integration info for BBpress? Maybe BBpress is trying to find the old WP db info on the old server?

Help please

[januzi2]

Thanks for the tip.

Info for the people having the same problem, there are two tables in mysql:

bb_usermeta

wp_usermeta

After integration (in “my case”) bbpress was fetching data from the wp_usermeta. I added new record: user_id = X, meta_key = ‘bb_capabilities’, meta_value = ‘a:1:{s:9:”keymaster”;b:1;}’ (where X = wp admin id, in my case = 15). Done, I have got all options.

forum/my-plugins/topic-icons/icons/bbpress.png

it’s in the folder but all I get is “Error 403 – Forbidden You tried to access a document for which you don’t have privileges.”

What should the permission be for:

my-plugins?

topic-icons?

icons?

individual files?

[januzi2]

Someone integrated wordpress with bbpress. Now admin panel for the bbpress shows only users, topics and posts. Is it possible to fix it ? Is there a way to manually (by the phpmyadmin) activate new plugins ?

[zaerl]

To go deeper into that code a code that does “forumS” for more than one and “forum” for just one?

$tf = get_total_forums();

printf(__ngettext('Viewing %d forum', 'Viewing %d forums', $tf), $tf);

functions.bb-statistics.php isn’t automatically included. The statistics.php file (https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/tags/1.0.2/statistics.php#L5) does include that file as well.

[chrishajer]

That’s a valid function in 1.0.2. What version are you using?

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/tags/1.0.2/bb-includes/functions.bb-statistics.php#L19

[gerikg]

I’m ahead of you! https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-names-immitate-wp_list_pages

[gerikg]

Okay I will have on my header the Forum Names as “Pages”

Installation – Troubleshooting – Themes – Plugins – etc

When I’m on the Troubleshooting page (https://bbpress.org/forums/forum/troubleshooting) the class of trouble shooting will be “selected”.

<li><a href="https://bbpress.org/forums/forum/installation">Installation</a></li>

<li><a href="https://bbpress.org/forums/forum/troubleshooting" class="selected">Trouble Shooting</a></li>

make sense?

[chrishajer]

You’re right. I had a different experience though:

I didn’t even know there was an “undelete topic” function. I deleted this topic, with your one post. Then I undeleted the topic in the admin, and while it was undeleted, there were no posts in it. So i was able to view a topic with no posts in it. When viewing that as moderator, I was able to undelete the post and then it was visible.

I’d say this is worth opening a ticket at trac.bbpress.org but I would like to see if we have two different problems here.

Might maybe be related to this as well:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1150

[chrishajer]

Derek, it’s not a common problem that happens with all installations, so it’s something specific to your setup. Can you upload the bbPress files again to overwrite the ones you have there now, to ensure that they were all transferred properly?

What version did you install? Was it installed over FTP or svn or something else? Anything interesting about your hosting setup (Windows, localhost, etc?) What is the PHP version?

Also, it’s just a warning, not an error. PHP warnings should not be displayed in the browser. Maybe that warning is masking what the true problem is? You can turn off PHP warnings and maybe then see if the forums work correctly? Eliminating the warning might just require a ticket at trac.bbpress.org to address, once we have more information about your hosting setup.

Is this a WAMP server with PHP 5.3.x?

[chrishajer]

There was a plugin called Read Only forums too, which would do what you want I think:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/read-only-forums/

That was good for up to 0.9 as well. Might need modification to work with 1.0.

[chrishajer]

bbPress and WordPress just add a digit to the end of the permalink to ensure the new one is unique.

[yoyopop]

if I delete a topic, then go back to the topic via the admin panel in order to ‘undelete’ the topic, it doesn’t work.

On clicking ‘undelete entire topic’ I am forwarded to a blank screen at a url in this format (had to break it up to fit on the page):

/bbpress/bb-admin/delete-topic.php?

id=2090&view=all&_wp_http_referer=/bbpress/topic.php

%3Fid%3D2090%26view%3Dall&_wpnonce=be30703be1

this is the case with no plugins installed and default template. Any ideas? I couldn’t find this issue anywhere on the forums already.

Hi, I’m making a navigation and was looking for help with highlighting the links, depending what page/forum you are on.

I have a homepage nav link like:

<a href="/forum">Mainpage</a>

how can I add class=”current” and highlight the link when on the mainpage?

I also run a list of the forums in a similar style

<?php foreach ( $forums as $forum ) : ?>

<a class="forum-link" href="<?php forum_link( $forum->forum_id ); ?>"><?php forum_name( $forum->forum_id ); ?></a>

<?php endforeach; ?>

Is there a way to add class=”current” depending on what forum the user is browsing?

I know this can be done on wordpress, but I dont know the functions for bbpress yet, and good info is far and wide.

[psycheangels]

based on http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/improved-spoiler/

instead only using css my mod using javascript based on spoiler plugin vbulletin

here is the php mod http://pastebin.com/ReTD7eJE

and this is the final look

http://i40.tinypic.com/2h5qlg8.png

you need to add this in your css template file

.spoilerbg {width:auto;height:auto;background:#e1e4f2;border:1px inset;padding:5px;}

the problem now, the Improved Spoiler Plugin doesnt build for nested spoiler like

the first spoiler will be broken, diffrent from vbulletin spoiler plugin

[moochyschwag]

I installed a fresh version of bbpress 1.0 at http://forums.moochyschwag.com/

I made a new post. Then I replied to the post. Then the reply form disappeared and the reply I made isn’t showing. It’s showing in the ADMIN area, but not on the forum. Thoughts?

[Alex Luft]

Awesome, thanks!!!

Go bbPress!
