Same problem to me.

[buddha-trance]

Hi there. I’ve tried with different browsers, but get the same results. It seems that the footer is missing from the Plugins/Extend section on the bbPress site, so the pages are cut off half-way down. Plugins can still be downloaded, but one cannot read the discussions there. What’s going on? Is anyone having the same problem?

[federalist1]

Just redid a fresh install of bbPress with integration and everything worked until the error on the last step.

Now I have two problems:

Users can’t post in the forums. Is this because the restore of old posts from an SQL file failed?

Visitors can’t see the pages on the wordpress page without logging in.

Since the database is now shared, how can I clean up the bad bbPress restore?

@vanesta – You have a point. What I am hoping, is that this is only a transition phase after Sam left. Looking at the people interested in helping out with the development of bbPress, I believe that things will keep moving. I doubt that bbPress will die, considering the integration with BuddyPress, WPMU, the supposed merger with single WP, etc.

Hopefully, things will pick up momentum again…

Automattic is funded and have enough money to hire a lead developer to take charge (same way as wp), what Matt posted really gives me the chill when it comes to bbpress roadmap

“As to where bbPress goes in the future, I’d be curious to hear who wants to help with that.”

[buddha-trance]

When you say you added the line to the top, you mean after the opening tag

<?php

… just in case…

[buddha-trance]

Really? I doesn’t seem abandoned at all, according to this thread, started by Matt (creator of WP)

[vanesta]

It is truly dead, automattic has sort of abandon this project since Sam left

There is a thread discussing export capabilities for bbPress, where the project “bbxf.org” is mentioned by chrishajer. Maybe you can ask him there, if the alpha version of the plugin they have on Google Code can be used for your purposes. That is, export bbPress as an XML file and import it into WordPress.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/importexport-work

The alpha version can be also found on the site of one of the developers, Dan Larkin.

You could give it a try with a fresh “test” install of WP, and a full bbPress database backup…

Hi,

To change it open ‘bb-avatar-upload.php’ line in my-plugins/ 173

>> add_profile_tab(__(‘Avatar’) …. >> put ‘Image’

[xanderashwell]

Hi Olaf,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Thanks also for your plugin solution for changing user’s information fields, I actually found the solution on the finalwebsites’ forums, but re-posted your fix in the forum here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/change-profile-information

You’re a life-saving bbpress & php wizard, and you deserve a shiny gold star for your good work.

I just tried again, i got the white screen when i click on “check for configuration file” button.

I’ve also tried to chmod 777 the config file, i still get the same results.

I tried to put wrong dbname, user, password within bb-config.php and i got an error message telling me that mysql info are not correct, therefore i assume that when i put the good credentials bbpress was able to connect to the mysql database.

I’ve also tried to delete the mysql db and recreate everything (new db, new user) and i still have the same error message. This is driving nuts

It’s kinda dead atm. Even big plugin suppliers like _ck_ seems to be abandoning this project. It’s a shame

[chrishajer]

Here are the requirements:

https://bbpress.org/about/requirements/

What does this mean?

created/pasted the content of the config within bb-config.php

Also, the relevant info from your phpinfo(); would be the PHP version and the MySQL version. Thanks.

[asterix35]

Hi Guys,

I don’t know what’s going on, i’ve uploaded (twice in case files could be missing) BBpress inside a subfolder called /forum.

I could see the install screen, i put my db credentials, then created/pasted the content of the config within bb-config.php

When i move forward the only thing i see is a white screen.

Are there any specific mysql requirements ?

Here is an extract of my phpinfo():

MySQL Support enabled

Active Persistent Links 0

Active Links 0

Client API version 4.1.20

MYSQL_MODULE_TYPE external

MYSQL_SOCKET /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

MYSQL_INCLUDE -I/usr/include/mysql

MYSQL_LIBS -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient

I’ve already installed bbpress in the past without any issues, i don’t know what could i do to fix this ?

[alexglewis]

This is a VERY minor issue, but I think it’s worth pointing out.

I’m working on integrating a BBPress installation into a WordPress site. As I work with the client, I like to name the folders containing the current theme/template with the version number, to make it easy to backtrack to older designs.

So for example, theme version 0.1 is in a folder named client_theme_v0.1, version 0.2 is in a folder named client_theme_v0.2, and so on.

This works fine in WordPress, but NOT in BBPress. If I include a period in the BBPress template folder name, it breaks the template—BBPress doesn’t find the style.css file. So instead of using periods in the version number, I have to use (shock! horror!) underscores. As in, client_theme_v0_1. *Shudder.*

It would be nice, in a very minor way, if I could use periods in BBPress template folder names.

[Steven Hodson]

Does anyone have a copy of the files provided by the originator of this thread (wmnasef) and originally found here?

For some reason the file is no longer available from that link.

Failing that does anyone know of any working methods to convert from phpBB 3 to bbPress 1? I am really trying to get from an SMF 2RC1 install and have no problems moving to phpBB3 but stalled at now migrating to bbPress.

[Peter A. Gebhardt]

Try putting this line at the beginning of your .htaccess file in the bbPress home directory

eg. into yourdomain/bbpress/.htaccess:

AddType text/css .css

Had this problem once with 1&1 webhosting in Germany.

[latestart]

I took some screenshots. Where do I send them?

I changed it to forum1, thinking maybe reuploading some of the files and changing the name would fix the problem. So, yes it was originally /bbpress/ but now it’s /forum1/

As you will see in the screenshot, I believe all the folders are in public_html

[chrishajer]

It’s styled perfectly here with the default kakumei theme:

http://chrishajer.com/bbpress/iappleit.png

And that stylesheet is right where you say it is:

http://iapple.it/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css

[~/]$ curl -I http://iapple.it/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css

[chrishajer]

You never mentioned where you installed it. Your host said it was here:

http://latestartermusician.com/bbpress

You say it’s here:

http://latestartermusician.com/forum1

So, where is it? Can you print a directory listing of the folders on your website showing where bbPress is installed in relation to your Blog folder? Screenshot is OK. It’s almost impossible to help with something like this remotely. Someone needs to be there to look at the directory listing and be able to say “oh, it’s installed over there, you need to access it at THIS URL.”

If this is your web space:

/hermes/bosweb/web077/b775/ipw.latestar/public_html/

Then Blog needs be be here:

/hermes/bosweb/web077/b775/ipw.latestar/public_html/Blog/

And bbPress should be installed here according to what you said about ‘forum1’:

/hermes/bosweb/web077/b775/ipw.latestar/public_html/forum1/

[latestart]

Thank you Chris, but the only folder title that is capitalized is my Blog link. The rest is in lowercase letters.

The folder is in my server. My domain name is http://www.latestartermusician.com. The “Blog” part is wordpress which I would like to integrate with bbpress. I put the bbpress under the directory forum1. But it still brings up the page not found error http://www.latestartermusician.com/forum1/bb-admin/install.php

Wow, I really hope I can get it to work. Bbpress seems like the forum I’ve been looking for.

Thank you for all of your help so far.

[chrishajer]

On an apache web server, the file and folder names are case sensitive. I noticed you used Blog before (capital and Install.php here (capital I) – are you certain the folder is actually bbpress (lowercase) in the root for your domain (on the same level as the Blog folder you already installed)?

If bb-admin were actually at http://latestartermusician.com/bbpress/bb-admin/, these would come up fine, but they do not:

http://latestartermusician.com/bbpress/bb-admin/install.css

http://latestartermusician.com/bbpress/bb-admin/style.css

http://latestartermusician.com/bbpress/bb-admin/images/menu.png

So where did you really put the folder and what is the name? Capitalization matters too, so post here what it actually is.

[latestart]

I downloaded the bbpress1.0.2 files from this website–bbpress.org. And yes, the folder does have install.php in it, but for some reason is not being seen on the server….

[okohll]

Hi,

Downloaded bbpress to http://gtwmbackup.dh.bytemark.co.uk/bbpress

However, clicking ‘Go to step 1’ doesn’t do anything. There’s nothing logged to Apache’s error.log. I’m using PHP 5.2.4 on Ubuntu with Apache 2 and MySQL 5. Any ideas please?
