Sounds like you’re using WAMP or XAMPP with version 5.3.1 PHP? Those are not really errors but warnings.

errored when installed

If you can’t downgrade PHP, you can modify your PHP error reporting:

Hey you guys,

So I have a fresh install of BBpress with WordPress. This is my first time using BBpress…

So I have a few errors on top and I don’t really know how to get rid of ’em. Can somebody please

help me out? Here’s the link: http://www.urbanstart.nl/forum/

Hi Ashfame, great tutorial but before I go ahead and install bbPress using your method, is it really necessary to change the DB prefixes?

Thanks,

Gene

Well, aren’t I an idiot. bbpress is not a real plugin to WordPress! I saw that someone had used bbpress on their WordPress site and jumped right on it. I guess I will go back to the ever so slow VastHTML forum plugin.

[Transmutator]

Ok. I have seen a multitude of folks with successful installations of bbpress but I can’t seem to … I have the zip file of bbpress 1.0.2 and upload it in the add new plugins area. When I click to “activate” it I get this error message “The plugin does not have a valid header.”

so, what do I need to do?

[Gautam]

Do you have access to your database? If yes, then create a new user which you want to be the admin. Then open your database through phpMyAdmin and open the database used in your bbPress install. A lot of tables would load in the left, click on the box like thing in the left of bb_users (or TABLEPREFIXusers), see the user you just created and note the ID in the left of it. Next, click the box in the left of bb_usermeta and then in the above part of right, click the SQL tab. In the textbox that appears, paste this:

UPDATE bb_usermeta

SET meta_value = ‘a:1:{s:9:”keymaster”;b:1;}’

WHERE user_id = ‘%%USERID%%’ AND meta_key = ‘bb_capabilities’`

Don’t forget to replace %%USERID%% with the id you noted down before.

Recently I’ve installed the the mass delete plugin.. but by mistake I delete my admin account.

Now there is no email or user name of my admin.. And I cannot go to my admin panel.

How can i recover my admin account?

I don’t want to reinstall bbpress

Thanks

Chris, you say that WP Questions “doesn’t benefit the bbPress project monetarily”. But WP Questions could raise money for bbPress if bbPress signed up to receive donations from us:

http://www.wpquestions.com/support_open_source/create

To be good citizens of the open source communities we belong to, we offer to donate 25% of our profits to developers whenever we get questions marked with the custom tags related to their projects (plugins, themes, software). All you need do is register. Put down ‘bbPress’ as the keyword for this project, and then 25% of any profit we make from a question about bbPress would go back to the bbPress organization.

Day two of attempted upgrade.

I combed through the boards, without much luck in terms of issue resolution (gripe!). If I figure out the remedy to my issue, I will be sure to post it here (so we can benefit from my stupid mistakes).

I re-read the upgrade directions, and thought I would give it a fourth try. This time, I restored my 0.9 install and files, logged into the Admin control panel – everything okay.

I then moved all the new 1.0.2 directories over & replaced the 0.9 files (since I knew my backup worked). I verified my bb-config file was still good (shouldn’t have been touched).

I then ran the ‘upgrade.php’ script forum/bb-admin/upgrade.php

and got the message that my DB needed upgrading – so I select ‘upgrade DB’ and then receive:

ERROR: Could not establish a database connection

So – if I’m able to login to my bbpress 0.9 install and have full access to the DB, and I’m using the same bb-config values (same file!) – why would I not be able to establish a DB connection?

BTW – in another post, someone mentioned clearing browser cache helping…which I did. Nothing positive…

Any ideas out there?

[bforeste]

Anyway you can post your resolution to this issue? I’m going through a similar thing:

Upgrade Errors: It looks like your database is out-of-date.

thanks

[bforeste]

citizenkeith: did you ever resolve your issue?

I’m having similar (DB connection…DB upgrade requests) and I’m on MT GS, trying to upgrade from 0.9 to 1.0.2

Upgrade Errors: It looks like your database is out-of-date.

Just looking for some extra information before I wipe out the 1.0 install dir and try again clean from the top.

THIS!

Can anyone make that WP plugin a BBP plugin?

jcrens8392, if you would like this included in future versions, please open a ticket at trac: http://trac.bbpress.org – you can log in there with a wordpress.org username and password.

This is a pretty common complaint. They’re not included there by design.

Sorry everybody for my late response.

Thanks for all the positive replays, I am very happy but I would like to hear some critique or input on how to improve the website.

To Michael R: I hope so too because I like bbPress a lot and I will use it for my future projects.

To: Sander B: Thanks. Or in Dutch : Bedankt!

To: Jim R: This is not an example of bbPress as plugin but it is just WordPress / bbPress integration without “deep integration”.

[bforeste]

Upgrading bbpress from 0.9.0.2 to 1.0.2

I also have WP installed, same DB & standard table prefixes (bb_ and wp_)

This is my test site, so I don’t have ‘active’ WP / BB integration

I’m on Media Temple Grid Server

DB Server is version 5.1.26-rc-5.1.26rc

MySQL Client is 4.1.11

When I followed the instructions on Upgrading, I mistakenly went to ‘install.php’ instead of ‘upgrade.php’. I don’t think this was a big deal though, because I wiped out the install directory and tried a ‘clean’ upgrade – with the same results.

I get all the way through to step 3, and I receive a ‘minor’ error that my Database is out of date & needs upgraded. I click ‘okay’ to upgrade…and I receive this error:

ERROR: Could not establish a database connection

I have gone through my wp-config and my new (and backed up versions of) the bb-config docs, and all are pointing to the correct db server, host, username, password, etc.

When I did the first install – it actually presented me with my main ‘forums’ page (I knew it was upgraded, because of the new theme). My posts were there. When I tried logging into the ‘admin’ area of bbPress, I got the ERROR: Could not establish a database connection reply again.

What am I missing? Is the ‘initial’ mistake of running the ‘install’ versus ‘upgrade’ script my downfall? How can I recover?

many thanks

External Install…almost there…..

Login to WP as admin, click on forums (bbpress) tab and see that I am logged in to BBpress as roger|Admin|Log Out. (I am roger)

But it is only a “partial” login. If I click “roger”, I go to profile page. If I click Admin, nothing happens!

But, there is a workaround.

If I logout and login at bbpress, then Admin takes me to dashboard.

Whoa, there is another problem. If I try to logout from bbpress dashboard, buddypress says page not found.

Workaround is to “visit site” and then I can logout of bbpress.

All of this is very weird behavior. Any ideas about what is going wrong?

[kevinator]

“bbPress and WordPress are not cross aware of role changes.”

So what is the point of WP/bbPress Integration plugin, in which you cross assign roles?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Just finish the installation. It will create a random password which you can change afterwards.

Forum URL – http://bit.ly/aDl62k

bbPress Version – 1.0.2

Issue – Check out the Forums (Letter of Recommendation and F1 Student Visa). On home page, it doesn’t display the Topic and Post Counts ( Grayed Out). When you click on the them, it has Topics within the forums.

[Moominmama]

Figured it out!

It was the bbPress Sitemaps plugin!

http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/bbpress-sitemaps

It hasn’t been updated lately and that was the issue. Thank goodness it was something easy! I was reading it as a BuddyPress plugin, which is why I didn’t disable it first. Doh!

[zreed]

I am trying to integration my WordPress site (the most current version of WP) with a bbPress but I can’t, for the life of me, get it to work. I can get it to share the user tables and user data but I can’t make it so if you login to the WP, then you are logged in automatically into the bbPress or vise versa.

The WP is on a domain and the bbPress is a subdomain:

-site.com (WP)

-community.site.com (bbPress)

^is how it is setup.

Would anyone be willing to help me setup these two up to work right? My lack of cookie knowledge is turning this into a huge headache! haha

I am running WPMU 2.9.2 with BuddyPress 1.2.1

When I post to a group forum I get a 404. If I hit the back arrow on my browser and then hit refresh, then the post is listed there.

If I click the title of the post, I get “There are no posts for this topic.”

http://supportforspecialneeds.com/groups/arizona/forum/topic/testing-yet-again/

(You can see even by that url that there IS a post.)

I didn’t install this BuddyPress install but I did upgrade it from the BP version just before this one and I’m thinking maybe something got lost in the translation?

I’ve asked on the BuddyPress site and haven’t heard back yet so I’m checking here to see if it’s exclusively a BBPress issue.

Thank you!!

Hi,

I have problem on step3, other than ‘keymaster user name’, it has no place let me setup the password, I’m not sure, does the step3 form is incorrect or it does not need to setup the password?

Thanks,
