You are right! It happens with any other directory on my site!

So maybe this is a hosting set-up issue. At this point it seems it has nothing to do with bbPress.

I so appreciate that you folks were willing to take a few minutes to help! Because of you I am closer to sorting this out.

I will lurk around inside my hosting settings on GoDaddy.com and see if I can figure out what’s up.

[chrishajer]

For example, try this directory with and without the slash:

http://authorstock.com/media

http://authorstock.com/media/

Same sort of redirect happens. Looks like it’s a configuration issue with the server.

[chrishajer]

Checked from command line on Linux and it redirects if you don’t use the slash:

[~]$ curl -I http://authorstock.com/forum

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently

Content-Length: 168

Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

Location: http://authorstock.com/authorstock.com/forum/

Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.0

X-Powered-By: ASP.NET

[~]$ curl -I http://authorstock.com/forum/

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Content-Length: 0

Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.0

X-Pingback: http://authorstock.com/forum/xmlrpc.php

Can you access any other directories and get the index file instead of a redirect? Is there a way to ensure that index.php is the index file for the directory?

1. In the IIS Manager, double-click Default Document.

2. Click Add, then enter index.php and click OK.

I just tried again using Apple Safari 4.0.4 on a Win XP SP3 system. Problem is reproducible.

In all three browsers the OS stayed the same.

@chrishajer: Your test was also on Win XP. Common element?

[dougjoseph]

Thanks.

Well, at least I’m not crazy.

OK, I am using IE on a Win XP SP3 system. Problem is reproducible.

Now, I am using Firefox 3.0.16 on a Win XP SP3 system. Problem is reproducible.

@ipstenu

What OS are you using? And what browser?

Thanks for your help.

[chrishajer]

It’s broken for me, using Firefox 3.5.6 on Windows XP. clicking without the slash gets me http://authorstock.com/authorstock.com/forum/

Thanks Michael.

Just a precision : ‘a canonical WordPress plugin’ means that it will be something like “akismet” ?

Could it be a standalone, then ?

Wordpress is a very heavy “small forum”, no ?

for citizenkeith :

this is more a philosophy than a features list, but I agree …

I think it also miss a point from which we are suffering now : a “viable future”. Every software need to be sure that the support will be continued for a long time. Specially when it is meant to build a community, which is much than needed for bbPress (just thinking about plugins)

[dougjoseph]

I should have mentioned I am on an IIS 7 server, so there is no .htaccess file, and I removed all “rewrite” rules from my web.config.

Thank you for clicking, and for reporting that the site is working fine for you.

That must mean my problem is local only to my PC. How could that be?

It is definitely still showing the same problem. Just tried again even as I was typing this.

???

Would anyone else be kind enough to click and report if you can repro the problem? Thanks.

[jag35]

This one looks great… but the Release page isn’t available, any chance it’s still out there somewhere?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

What’s in your .htaccess?

I can’t repro that and if I use forum or forum/ it works fine for me…

[jag35]

So has anyone found a way to convert painlessly from Vanilla to BBPress?

[dougjoseph]

Hello!

I just downloaded and installed the latest version of bbPress — version 1.0.2.

In the database ( bb_option | uri ), we see the full URL to the forum:

http://domain.com/folder/

Now, if I type that address into a browser, the forum loads fine.

However, if I type it this way (without the trailing frontslash)…

http://domain.com/folder

… I get redirected to this:

http://domain.com/domain.com/folder/

Which leads to nowhere!

To see this in action, paste or type these two URIs into your browser:

http://authorstock.com/forum/

http://authorstock.com/forum

…With the only difference being the trailing frontslash.

Argh! Can anyone help me know how to fix this?

Thanks!

Hi, I tried again. This time I uploaded the team inside bb-templates – and it works just fine.

Why am I supposed to put themes in folder named “my-templates”?

[arpowers]

Just launched a couple more to match our other WP themes.

[citizenkeith]

This is what I want from future bbPress releases:

1. Open Source, always and forever

2. Less (code) is more

3. Simplicity is a feature

4. Speed and security are the foundation of any good user experience

5. Put the user first

This list can be found here:

https://bbpress.org/about/

Thanks to chrishajer for pointing it out earlier in the thread… I think it sums things up nicely.

[chrishajer]

rickxxx’s reply was deleted. This is not a topic for feature requests, it’s a place to offer to help with bbPress.

If you have pretty permalinks on: http://bbpress.pastebin.com/f3edbcfa1

thierryyyyyyy:

A lot of ideas are being thrown around at the moment, and things are going slowly. It’s like that for a reason. The next version of bbPress will be one that is clean, robust, and easy to use.

At the moment, it looks like bbPress will become a canonical plugin for WordPress. As with most Automattic products, I think this was the idea in the first place.

Closer to the time, Matt will share updates as to a more narrowed path for bbPress.

[thierryyyyyyy]

I’m a long time bbPress user, and invested quite a big time to update from 0.9 to 1.0 some months ago.

I really, really don’t want that bbPress dies.

I need a standalone version of bbPress, even if I somehow integrated it into my wordpress but just for user.

I really don’t ask for another new complete bbPress version. For me, that means a very long time for re-adapting (some customs plugins and hacks and integration with a custom website-script)

Like Chrishajer, the basic features of bbPress are my ground requirements. Specially since the old plugins usually works with small adaptation.

I participated some times in the forum for such adaptations.

The best part of bbPress features, is “Fast and light”. Which is not anymore the main characteristic of Worpress.

enougth said about what’s my point of view, I would like to ask one more time

“What’s happening with bbPress?” (topic title)

The bbPress blog is not that clear, and the “meetup”s are not really easy to read.

[Ben L.]

You’ll need to hook get_user_profile_link and get_profile_tab_link. I don’t think there’s anything else you’ll need to do.

[gerikg]

@Ben L. Thank you! It was “User Roles Table for bbPress” it was installed, activated but not “on”. Once I turned it “on” it worked.

[Gloria]

Sorry.

I installed bbpress in a sub-domain, but some days ago I had installed an other bbpress in a main root of the domain. So I edited the wrong folder!

And now I have uploaded the folder called “my-templates” (with the theme) in the sub-domain and it works.

Thanks.

That error can only be caused by plugins. What plugins are you running?

If you can, search for WP_Users::update_meta in their source code.

[Gloria]

Hi!

I have some problems with the themes.

I edited a theme and i uploaded it in a directory called “bb-templates”.

When I go in “appereance” (into admin panel), i dont’ see the theme.

When I delete the themes pre-installed, they yet are in “appereance” and they work.

So, how can I install a new theme in bbpress?

[citizenkeith]

bbPress Attachments is only compatible up to version 0.9 of bbPress.
