Thanks Ben. That certainly helps.
I’m hoping there might be another way to truly load bbpress signatures last, so I won’t mark this “resolved” yet.
I followed gerikg’s instructions & all seems well, except, when I log into bbPress, then go to WPMU it appears as if I’m logged in. Until I try to admin the site, then & have to log in again. Seems to be that a cookie is not being set.
Thanks! I an now following him on twitter and will keep my ears open for any news. In the meantime, back to bbPress.
Bozo is used to describe spammers.
Voices is the number of individual members of the forum that have posted on a thread.
A view is a list of topics that fit into a category, like topics with no replies and topics with no tags.
“Halting installation!” is used when an error is encountered and is (as far as I know) the last thing that shows up in the log.
The REQUEST_URI and PATH_INFO don’t look like they should be translated, but they are used in a debug message.
XAMPP on local machine, here is one line of several that appear at top of bbpress login page after installation was apparently completed successfully.
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:xampphtdocsbbpressbbpressbb-settings.php on line 186
and when I try to log in a bunch more error messages. XAMPP works fine with wordpress by the way.
Thanks, Roger
Thanks, good to know. Issue is that I’m using Buddypress so I can’t access the BBpress admin to activate BBpress-specific plugins (so far as I know). So I think I need to go into php and edit it directly.
Instead of loading zlib via .htaccess, you should use Apache’s built-in module mod_deflate because it is better for server’s performance. By using code below, you will compress all textual content from your site (html, css, javascript, rss). Simply remove type you don’t want to compress from list and it won’t compress after that. Note that you shouldn’t add any more types because other file types can’t be compressed this way.
Just copy/paste this code in your .htaccess file in root of web site. You can use this on ANY kind of website, no matter if it is powered by bbPress or not. Just watch-out that some script you use doesn’t already compress some type, because it will than double compress which will be worse than using uncompressed type.
Also note that on some bad configured servers this can make additional load on servers so be careful (this applies to zlib comrpession too).
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/javascript application/x-javascript application/x-httpd-php application/rss+xml application/atom_xml
</IfModule>
You can test your site before and after with tools like WebPagetest (just click on images on result’s page for detailed information) and Web Page Analyzer. And share your results here.
what do you think about hosting ga.js locally and keeping it up to date?
You shouldn’t store popular JavaScript files (like from Google Analytics, AdSense, StatCounter etc) on your server because they are probably in visitors’ cache so he will not even load that files while visiting your site.
This is because most sites nowadays use Google Analytics and when man without that file in cache visits page that use it, that file is saved in it’s cache for seven days (because Google gives information to browser in file’s HTTP headers) and it is not loaded again until it expires from cache.
Here are some questions related to translation of bbPress.
Is there any other word for “bozo” that is more common, because I don’t know how to translate this? In 0.9 branch I left this untranslated, but now I want to do complete translation.
What are “voices”? This is introduced in 1.0 branch.
What is “View” in this strings: %1$s » View: %2$s and <abbr title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</abbr> feed for this view?
There is sting “Halting installation!” used in error log on install/upgrade. Does install/upgrade stop at that moment or what happens (I’m not sure how to translate it)?
In file bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php, there are strings REQUEST_URI and PATH_INFO. Should we translate this or leave it (because it is mistakenly wrapped in __() function?
Thanks in advance
You set WordPress Administrator to bbPress Administrator instead of bbPress Key Master.
Run this on your database: DELETE FROM bb_meta WHERE meta_key='wp_table_prefix'
That should allow you to log in with your bbPress account and fix the setting.
Hello
I installed bbPress ok and had admin rights under a user named admin. Then I finished integrating with my wordpress site. It logged me out as the admin and now when I access with my WordPress admin account I cannot see any settings to change.
When I try and log in with the bbPress admin it says there is no admin user. Basically I have no way of changing settings.
Please could someone help with my problems?
Thanks
I would recommend dropping the bb_ tables from the database, and try installing again at the URL you provided. That error occurs when there are old bb_ database tables in the database. If you changed the bb_ table prefix, then just drop the tables with that prefix. Then complete the installation again.
The url is http://forum.easyushistory.com/bb-admin/install.php
The intended domain is forum.easyushistory.com
You can’t call a WordPress function (or even a function in a WordPress plugin) without doing deep integration between WordPress and bbPress. Normally, someone would create similar functionality in a bbPress plugin so you can use that instead of trying to call the WordPress plugin:
How about this bbPress plugin from Gautam Gupta:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/social-it/
It’s a WP plugin that works for posts and pages, but not for anything else, so I want to put it directly into the BBpress template – not sure where. Here’s the plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-to-any/
And my site: http://www.selfpublishingreview.com
There won’t be anything in your WordPress dashboard about bbPress. What happens when you try to access the forum URL? (and what is the forum URL?)
Is this a plugin for bbPress, or how are you getting the functionality?
I’d like to add the Add to Any code to a single forum post and I’m not sure which of the many php files to add it to. Code is here – from the WP plugin page:
<?php echo '<ul class="addtoany_list">';
if( function_exists('ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_ICONS') )
ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_ICONS( array("html_wrap_open" => "
<li>", "html_wrap_close" => "</li>
") );
if( function_exists('ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_BUTTON') )
ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_BUTTON( array("html_wrap_open" => "
<li>", "html_wrap_close" => "</li>
") );
echo ''; ?>
Wary of adding it anywhere because I just tried a BBpress sitemap plugin that broke the forums. Thanks for the help.
Hi community,
Happy new year everybody 
Just installed bbPress 1.0.2 to complete a WordPress 2.9 installation. I’m trying to add custom themes, as indicated in all tutorials i could find. This is what i did :
– created a my-templates directory at the root of the forum (same level than b-templates)
– uploaded the custom themes into this directory – themes coming from several repository on the Web, none that i did myself.
Then I cannot see any of my themes on the “appearance” tab in the admin. I tried to upload raw zip files or extracted directory but nothing is detected.
Any help is greatly appreciated !
Thanks,
Jeremy
How? there is nothing about bbpress on my WordPress dashboard, and when i visit the subdomain it just says bbpress is already installed
Open up BBcode-buttons.js and change the occurrences of “load” on lines 2 and 3 to “DOMContentLoaded”. That should make the BBcode buttons toolbar load without waiting for all of the images on the page to load first.
Ths SVN is the repository where all the plugins are stored. It is completely safe to use it.
This link does NOT work for downloads:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/
What is the -svn and is it safe?
Thanks!
I highly doubt there is a way of doing this as the only way to add things to posts is by calling post_text() – I think.
Whichever way it’s done, it has to load with each post as it runs in a loop.
I just wish there was Async loading in PHP so it could perform loops without having to wait for anything.
EDIT: I know this can be done in jQuery, however. Though I wouldn’t know if it could be integrated with the bbPress system in any way.
