– I put BBPress into a folder called /forum off of the root.

– WordPress is on the root.

I am trying to use the same database to install BBpress into as WordPress.

I’ve checked with host and my DB name, username, password are all correct. I’ve also copy pasted the DB Host into the advanced settings field.

I still get a msg back that there was a problem connecting to the database. Any suggestions? The only thing I can think of is I’ve installed in a folder that I shouldn’t have? Or I need to specify a path or something?

any help is much appreciated!

hello! i am a beginner at bbpress. I want to create a message board on my website. I’ve been referred to bb press. But as much as i look thru this site – i just do not understand.

I installed the bbpress plug in, and and activated it.

But – i do not comprehend – what is WordBB Options — what is myBB URL and MyBB absolute path on server?

I just am aiming for a simple message board on the bottom of my site…can you please help?

It seems that there is an easy way to do that.

Add the text in options at tagline and call the code on front page only:

<p>

<?php if ( bb_get_option(‘description’) ) : ?><p class=”description”><?php bb_option(‘description’); ?></p><?php endif; ?>

</p>

I also have put together an small plugin which could offer an WYSIWYG editor for formatting purposes.

There have been talks about retrieving Sam’s work and getting it done, but I doubt it’s a priority. Consider it to be planned for ‘further down the road’.

bbshowcase is not an official part of bbPress (i.e. no direct affiliation with Automattic); I believe it was once maintained by an active bbpress community member and plugin contributor, who sadly does not think as highly of the project any longer.

how can you integrate the bbpress forum in your wordpress site ??

Hi Gautam,

I have some problems with the placements of the images in a post. Is it possible to determine where a image appear in a post?

Thanks, DKB

Install this plugin, and modify it as needed:

There should already an RSS feed for all posts to your site!

Here’s the link to the one for this forum:

https://bbpress.org/forums/rss

I think I found your forum – in which case, this should be the RSS feed for all your posts!

Hello,

I’m planning to start a new forum based on bbpress.

My only problem is that the actual version (1.0.2) doesn’t have email notification working (topic subscription) working.

My idea is to install the latest 0.9 version and add some plugins for email notifications. But at the same time I saw that the trunk version already have this feature implemented, so I’m wondering if I should go with trunk version and them change to the stable version when this feature is implemented or if I should stick with 0.9.

What do you think about this?

Thanks inadvance!

“Make sure you have inserted the code.

Refer to the installation notes you should have got with your download. “

The notes refer to files that dont even exist in the newest release.

ie. there is no “post.php”

Can anyone help me, please?

Im willing to give reward $$ if anyone can fix / reinstall my wp x bbpress integration

I’ve been trying to integrate wp and bbpress in almost 3 weeks, and I still have lil problem. If you have ever integrated wp and bbpress, or you own bbpress forum, im sure its very very easy. It just that im not a techy person. So i have no clue. I’ve seen so many people here show of their forums, and they can marry the two perfectly.

my bbress forum is justinbieberzone.com/forums, and the blog is justinbieberzone.com

I believe I have already (deep) integrated the two, because wp and bbpress have succesfully shared my 100+ blog members. However, there’s something wrong with the theme. The background supposed to be very dark like the main site, after integration, it turned out white.

Also, theres something missing, in the forum page, there is no login and register button/link.

Can anyone help me please? Im willing to give reward $20. I know its not much, but im so desperate right now. If its too difficult for u, i can increase $$ litte bit.

email or messenger me at ipunkbali [at] yahoo.com please please.. thank youuu…

Up.

Do anyone know a solid plugin to parse bbCode ( , , … ) per the latest version of bbPress?

[Lucian Florian]

I have just tested it on a separate server and I get the same error.

I did the same: installed a fresh BBpress. Created database and user for it in backend, went to: http://domain_name/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php and the page shows up correctly. I insert the connection info and connects successfully.

When I press go to step 2, I get the same error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in /home/domain_name/www/www/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/class.wp-http.php on line 281

I will try on my localhost, but for me seems that the bbpress installation folder is corupt!

[chrishajer]

I guess no one has seen it before. The only information I can find about that error is from Google, and not pertaining to bbPress.

The only servers it’s buggy on are localhost installations and some WAMP servers, with PHP 5.3. Other than that, it normally works just fine.

[chrishajer]

If you’re using pretty permalinks, the rewrite rules in your .htaccess will need to be changed:

There is also a way to override the information in the database by adding it to your bb-config.php:

Remember the “its all fine so I made a BBpress Fan Page on Facebook”?

Yeah, I remember.

Hi Thomas,

if you have some deeper knowledge in php, mysql and regular expression – you can use the phpbb3 converter and make some change to the code. The code of the phpbb3 converter is understandable – you only must change the tables and row to match the database structure of the Woltlab Burning Board. Its only the question of understanding …

I see – I’m assuming you’d have to move everything manually using PHPMyAdmin – though you would need to know the format of the bbPress MySQL Database.

Is it a big issue to restart with a blank, fresh forum?

[johnhiler]

It looks like someone has built a *press module/plugin of some sort which allows users to vote on compatibility:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/

But nothing like that exists on the bbPress plugins side of things.

The bbPress Plugins install actually has a separate signin cookie from the forums – even if you’re signed in on the forum side of things, you won’t be signed in here:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/

Plus, the “stats” tab has been “Coming Soon” for at least two years:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/delete-all-bozos/stats/

All these things exist on the WordPress side of things, so I’m guessing it’s a matter of lack of resources and/or a lack of prioritization.

Hope someone can help

installed bbpress OK but chose to change the URL from nexus1forum (this was where I created the bbpress folder/files) to nexusoneforum when offered the option to do so.

I just keep getting a 404 every time I try to login with my usual wordpress admin/password combination

http://www.nexusoneblog.co.uk/nexusoneforum/

Do i need to uninstall and start again?

Thanks !

[bedbugger]

arpowers,

Your system requirements state that your bbpress themes can only be used with your corresponding blog themes. Is this true? Or could they work alongside another theme?

Also, have they been tested with IE5 and IE6 (I know, I know… don’t ask.)

Thanks!

Having to re-post due to forum marking original post as [array] and then as closed!:

Hello,

I’ve been using bbpress forums for around 2 weeks now and I’m very impressed with it.

However: during the weekend a young child with basic mouse skills got to my office and did something to my Admin page. Now when I attempt to view my forum I get the following error:

Not Found

The requested URL /bb-login.php was not found on this server.

Can anyone please help me fix this without having to re-install the forum?

Many thanks,

Fred.

I’ve seen this in other forums – rather than scrolling the topic with lots of new posts saying “wow, thanks man, that link was exactly what I needed.” people can opt to click a button/link on a post to register a “thumbs-up” / “vote of thanks”.

The template would then present these “thank you” votes in some form – perhaps a bar across the footer, or just below a given post, or in the meta-information somewhere. The presentation could be a simple count (“35 people said thanks for this post”) or maybe a list of names.

Putting the “thank you” bar between posts lends itself to the forums that host ads in that space also. In most bbPress themes, I’d (personally) add the thanks message in summarized form to the space left of the post, under the poster’s name.

It wouldnt be hard to collect the data (in the post_meta) table, or to add a link to add my vote of thanks to a given post. The challenge would be to modify the various themes – to “thanks enable” them – to display it correctly somewhere.
