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

Thanks to chrishajer for pointing it out earlier in the thread… I think it sums things up nicely.
rickxxx’s reply was deleted. This is not a topic for feature requests, it’s a place to offer to help with bbPress.
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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.
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?
bbPress Attachments is only compatible up to version 0.9 of bbPress.
Hi all,
Just started playing around with my first ever install of BBPress. Have added the BB-attachments plugin and it all works perfectly except for the icons which do not want to display for some reason.
They are all uploaded to the correct location (http://www.domain.net/forum/my-plugins/bb-attachments/icons/) but they just won’t display on screen. Any ideas?
Cheers
Mike
PS – forum is at http://www.flykiwi.net/forum/ if you want to have a look
What version of bbPress are you using?
I’m sorry, but this is the bbPress support forum, not the MyBB support forum. You’ll want to post this at http://community.mybboard.net/forum-81.html
It might have something to do with the path and forward or backslashes, since it is Windows.
Did you try the debug stuff listed at ashfame’s page? specifically ?bb_attachments_debug to find the path?
Here is something recent about problems with the path and plugins on Windows servers:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/error-activation-plugin#post-62287
and the next post for the resolution.
According to my set up the folder has to be one level above the bbpress folder. You have it on the same level as the bbpress folder.
I am looking for any help possible because this plugin isn’t wanting to play nice at all.
I have already checked this referenced post – http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/10/fix-bb-attachments-plugin-of-bbpress/ – which helped straightening out the DB problem of the bb-attachment table not being created.
However while the file is being entered in the DB table nothing is showing up in the bb-attachment folder (http://screencast.com/t/NzYzNzIy)
All I am getting it the ‘Failed’ notice on first view (http://screencast.com/t/MGNkOWJm)
Then when you refresh the page even that is gone (http://screencast.com/t/ZDNiZjdk)
It might be important to note that this is is being hosted on a WinServer (no smart ass remarked needed)
If anyone has any suggestions on what to try I would greatly appreciate the assistance.
thindery is no longer using bbpress.
Casemon, it depends how you integrated the theme. Are you using BBpress’ header.php or WordPress’ header.php?
