Hello again everybody,
I apologize if I posted something against the rules? My last post was closed?
Well it was about getting support installing bbpress. I have done web design in the past but never integrated a forum. I would really like to add a bbpress forum to my site.
my problem is in the database configuration settings. I uploaded to my server fine but when asked for my database configuration settings I keep getting a message saying the info I put is incorrect. I says
“”There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.
Please check the settings, then try again.”
This is the information I have to work with.
» MySQL Database
a7609595_teammix
» MySQL User
a7609595_jasonb
» MySQL Host
mysql8.000webhost.com
Any help would be great. Thank you everybody.
Also, I heard from somebody that I have to create a table on my database for this to work? I did not see that in the bbpress directions, is this correct?
If you have access to the database, you can insert a password hash from a known password, then log in with your username and that password you just inserted. Do you have something like phpMyAdmin to access the database directly?
Also, what version of bbPress are you using, and are you using any plugins that affect the password, cookie or integration settings?
I would stop using the Mass Delete Users plugin. I suspect it’s doing something that’s incompatible with 1.0 and something is going on with the users it deletes and the ones that are left behind. I would stop using that then do a recount in the admin. I’m not sure if recounting fixing user-related things that might have gotten borked.
I don’t think Allow Images, either BBcode plugin, BBvideo or Social It would cause any problem like this. Unless the problem occurs on threads with (or without) images or threads with (or without) video.) The Social IT appears to be on every post.
I’m not sure about Human Test for 1.0 – I don’t think I’ve ever tried it. I do have it working with a 1.0RC, I forget which version though. All you can do is try it. If it activates without error, that’s good. If you try to register and it prevents incorrect answers and allows correct answers, and the registration goes through, then it works.
I don’t think disabling Mass Delete is going to make everything better right away. I have a feeling that it’s doing something to the user data in the database, and that will remain there even after you deactivate the plugin.
The other possibility is something going on with the host. But if all the other software is running fine there, that’s probably not a problem.
chrishajer, I use the following plugins:
Allow Images
BBcode Buttons Toolbar
BBcode Lite
BBvideo
Mass Delete Users
Social It
These are vital for me though, I got many users depending on these as core functions already. This problem did interestingly enough, occur after I had installed Mass Delete Users. Not imediatly though.
Deleting users works, but maybe it does something else that I can not see – that fucks up something else?
Do human test work for 1.02?
What if an incompatible plugin is creating problems for you? The problems you’re having are not normal. I noticed that the mass delete users plugin is good up to 0.9 only, but you posted there that it works with 1.0.2.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mass-delete-users/
How about preventing the spambot registrations with the Human Test plugin instead, and not trying to mass moderate users? Maybe it’s deleting some references to the users, but not all? Or there are stranded posts or something, and that throws off the numbering or something?
hpguru, what plugins are you using?
Marius-, what other plugins are you using?
It doesn’t happen by default in an installation with very few plugins running, so it might be a problem with a plugin, or could be a problem with the server. Software sometimes acts weird when a partition or MySQL runs out of space or memory.
I remember that i have this problem too on my bbPress 1.0.2 but no always.
chrishajer, the strange thing is it doesn’t always happen. But sometimes the last poster won’t be seen until much much later. I’ve crosschecked this with several users. I don’t know what the criteria is for this bug to occur.
In the thread “Post bilde av deg selv” – today I had to redelete all deleted posts, which was about 20 posts. These were duplicates of the previously deleted posts. Why did this only happen in one topic?
I’ve deleted alot of spambots lately, but they’ve done no harm at all, other than registering.
I’ve also installed the plugin Mass Delete Users, but these bugs doesn’t seem to have anything to do with that, and they did not start to occur imediatly after installing the plugin either.
It’s gonna be hard to tell you the next time this bug happens, maybe I can add you to msn and notifiy you the next time? As you see in my original post in this thread, thats the topic it happened to last time.
I was able to create an account, log in and make a new topic:
http://www.michaeljackson.no/forum/topic.php?id=130
I was able to add a reply to this topic as well:

Someone posted soon after me, but for about 10 seconds I was listed as the last poster.
So, it seems to be working well for me. Is it not working for everyone?
A decision was made to mark posts as deleted rather than delete them completely. Just a design decision. I prefer it this way; others want them gone forever.
First determine if you can send email from that server. Can you? Have you ever received mail from the server?
Also, what type of server, and what version of bbPress did you install, and are you integrated with WordPress? Using English or another language? All of these things can affect how mail is sent from your server.
You should open a ticket at trac.bbpress.org and voice your concerns there.
Yes, that’s been noted before. Luckily, it’s not important, it’s just wrong. I thought it was reported at trac, but I can’t find it right now: https://trac.bbpress.org/
If it’s happening at your forum, try a recount in the admin.
I did talk with sambauers in June, and the problem existed in 0.9. bbpress.org is using 1.0 now, so I’m not sure if it’s the same problem or a different one.
The divs appear to be nested improperly. There is one validation error regarding a closing div being in the wrong spot; maybe that’s the problem.

If you linearize the page with the web developer toolbar in FireFox, the links are accessible – see here:

And how come deleted posts aren’t really deleted? But instead just hidden?
I’m really pissed off right now. Is there any reason BBpress is starting to ruin everything for me all of the sudden?
Now posts I’ve deleted becomes undeleted again, and then duplicated.
I have just started with bbpress and I think there is some problem with it.
It is said that the user Confirmation mail will receive in Minutes but it hasn’t received yet. What should I do now?
Orelse please tel me the way to avoid ’email confirmation’ in user registration.
Been debugging a while now.
I can stick a topic, it shows up correct in the admin interface and is marked as sticky. However it does not show up as sticky in my latest discussions. Noticed that get_sticky_topics() is not returning my sticky topic. Echoing the sql executed gives the answer: “get_sticky_topics()” returns topics where topic_sticky=2, while my sticky topic have topic_sticky=1. All other (non-sticky topics) have status topic_sticky=0.
Running bbPress 1.0.2
What is wrong here?
I was exploring bbPress tables before importing data from vBulletin and noticed that post bodies contain <p>…</p> and I was wondering why this choice was made, wasn’t better keep plain text and then, only when formatting the output, applying the markups if needed?
I don’t use Akismet or Bozo plugin at all.
Some topics just won’t show the last reply, until someone else posts more replies. Why does bbpress wait with showing this? Why are the last replies not visible instantly?
I am having problems with bbPress-WordPressMU User Integration.
Under the WordPress Integration Settings, I have correctly set the User Role Map and User Integration Cookies like AUTH, Secure AUTH KEY, etc. according to my wp-config file.
My question is, how do I know whether I have integrated correctly? By what I know, if integrated correctly, user should be log-in from either bbPress or WordPressMU and have the same access throughout. But under Users tab, I see only my account, (admin log-in) and no one else. If I try to log-in to my bbPress using my WPMU account, it doesn’t work.
Stickies should already be in the core? More info on how they work here:

Hi, what about the theme I am using?
I have little knowledge in webdesign. Therefore I just modified the Kakumei-Theme as good as I could.
I was looking for a simple theme which is userfriendly, offers a lot of opportunities for google ads and an overview over the different categories (=main forums).
It also has a drop down menu. If you move with the cursor on the menu to forum you will see some submenus which direct you to the different categories. In my opinion an easy way to keep the overview.
Problem: I have no idea if it looks well on all browsers and all different screens. I only tested it with FF, Safari and IE7 and with the screen of my laptop.
Another problem: I had to remove the footer because it moved to the top of the page and I wasn’t able to keep it at the bottom.
Further I am looking for a way to show the last authors avatars on the topic and discussion boards of the front page and the forums pages.
sure. thanks for the reply.
notice here: http://www.pagelines.com/
there is no ‘articles’ page..
here (the forum): http://www.pagelines.com/forum
the ‘articles’ page shows up.
I’m using the WordPress plugin ‘exclude pages’ (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/)
to hide the page on my WP install.
The forum is deeply integrated but notice that BBPress doesn’t reflect the changes from the plugin
Having run sites with WordPress, bbPress and Joomla, I have had less security issues with WordPress and never one with bbPress. bbPress is certainly less used, so it’s less of a target (like Apple for viruses, for example.) WordPress security releases seem to be fixed fairly quickly. There was an update this week to 2.8.6 for example, to fix some security issues.
I’ve done 3 sites with Joomla and about 40 sites with WordPress, and 3 bbPress forums. I would never recommend Joomla to anyone either.
Drupal had too steep a learning curve for me, and with 2.9 WordPress is adding custom post types, which was a strong point for Drupal in the past.
10 Things You Need to Know About WordPress 2.9
I would use WordPress. But before you install bbPress, define what you want in your forum installation, and post that here. Integration is not a strong point with bbPress and WordPress right now. If you desire integrated logins between WordPress and bbPress, you might want to consider a WordPress forum plugin instead of bbPress.
