How about a little more information?

URL?

What happens when they try?

What happens when you try?

Any error messages?

What version bbPress?

Integrated with WordPress? If so, what version WordPress?

Stock theme or custom?

Any plugins active?

Has it ever worked or never worked since installation?

What host are you on?

You never know which of these items will be important, but starting with a little information is better than nothing.

[chrishajer]

bbhack, you should take your arguments to Automattic.

This is something Matt said a while ago about MySQL and Oracle:

http://ma.tt/2009/04/oracle-and-open-source/

There have been discussions before of using different databases, or abstracting the whole thing, but I still feel there are many other bbPress features that need work before they tear out something that is working completely fine right now.

[bbhack]

The reason why bbPress needs Oracle support is because if you are trying to integrate it into any existing site run by an actual company and not a hobbyist, there’s a good chance their user database is in Oracle (or MS SQL Server).

PHP supports Oracle so why should bbPress be tied to just MySQL. I don’t think it is really using much (if any) MySQL specific code.

This is one of the main selling points of PHPBB – it supports FireBird, MySQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL and SQLite.

bbPress doesn’t touch WordPress by default, so you must be running some plugin that adds that

BBPress is a bit new for me so sorry if this question sounds stupid.

I installed BBPress along with WordPress. After the BBPress installation setup a connection between those two. No problems till here. I also installed wordpress-bbpress-syncronization which also works fine. I noticed that only new posts on WordPress are copied to BBPress. So I wonder; Is there a way to copy all wordpress posts to BBPress and then start syncing from there?

[chrishajer]

Yes they should change the documentation, but right now the project is without a leader, so a few things have fallen by the wayside, including documentation.

[chrishajer]

You can use browser add-ons for Firefox like Firebug or the Web Developer Toolbar, or you can use a command line tool, or there are places online that you can submit your URL to and they will show the headers returned.

Using the Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox, I get this:

Response Headers - http://fakeplasticfish.com/discuss/



Date: Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:27:42 GMT

Server: Apache

Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=99

Connection: Keep-Alive

200 OK

Which is correct, and different from before, and it looks like you fixed it.

[fakeplasticfish]

Oh my god, I love you. Will you have my babies???!!!!!

Changing from wp-blog-header.php to wp-load.php fixed the problem. At least it looks that way. The pages are loading in IE now.

How would I check to headers to make sure this problem is truly fixed? I don’t know what “check the headers” actually means. Sorry.

Oh, and maybe bbPress could change the instructions here

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

to indicate that wp-load.php should be used instead?

Beth

[chrishajer]

I think you should be including wp-load.php instead of wp-blog-header.php

I think the difference between browsers is due to your forum returning a 404 but still displaying the content. Some browsers ignore the 404 and display the content (Safari and Firefox, apparently) but others treat the 404 as a 404 (IE8).

Check the headers being returned from http://fakeplasticfish.com/discuss/ :

Not sure if this question should go to the Installation forum or Troubleshooting. I actually posted this question last night to the forum, and this morning it has disappeared. So trying again…

I have spent all weekend installing bbPress and modifying the kakumei template to integrate with my site. It all looked great in Firefox and Safari, but when I view the site in Internet Explorer 8, I cannot reach any pages besides front page, and only then if I browse to http://fakeplasticfish.com/discuss/index.php. Simply browsing to http://fakeplasticfish.com/discuss/ in Internet Explorer brings up a 404 Error, as do all the other forum pages.

Here are details of my install:

WordPress 2.8.4 installed at the root: http://fakeplasticfish.com

bbPress 1.0.2 installed at http://fakeplasticfish.com/install/

bbPress is installed into the same database as WordPress on a GoDaddy Linux server.

I have added this code to my bb-config file as instructed:

/** Integrate with WordPress */

require_once(‘/home/content/b/e/t/bethfish/html/wp-blog-header.php’);

This is because I want my WordPress plugin menu bar to appear in bbPress as well as other WordPress functions.

I thought perhaps the issue had to do with pretty permalinks, as I read some entries in this forum on that issue, so I actually switched back to the original ugly permalinks, cleared the browser cache and restarted IE. IE will still not open any of the bbPress pages besides index.php and returns a 404 error from the server (not my WordPress 404 page.)

I have two .htaccess files, one in the root folder created by WordPress and one in /discuss/ created by bbPress. I tried deleting that file after switching back to ugly permalinks, and now there is a new one there.

I am a novice. I don’t understand the information in the .htaccess file, but I am happy to copy the information from both files over here if that would help.

I just really don’t understand why the bbPress pages work fine in Firefox and Safari and not in IE.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bloginfo() in C:wampwwwgm_wordpresswp-contentthemesdefaultfooter.php on line 12

Do i have to call every file in wordpress with “require_once”… Or is there any other solution ?

I ll be great if you guys can help me out..

Thanx

Hello,I’m a wordpress user and I just downloaded bbpress for a project I’m working on since I can’t get some key features on wordpress. My project involves polls that can be created by users of the site, and also regular forum topics.

I have gotten the polls plugin bbpress polls and it adds ‘[poll]’ in front of the topic title. now I want to use this feature to display topics with polls separately from topics that don’t have polls since this seems to be the most distinguishing factor.

My question is how can I get the topic title in the loop for use in my code? the Function topic_title() displays the topic i.e. it echoes it, but I would like to get it as a string that I can use in functions.

Also, I would like to know how I can get a reference of all the index keys in the $topics array so I can use them in my code.

Hi all,

just installed bbPress at http://www.autogas-umruestungen.de/forum

Do I have to protect this directory somehow? The index.php is in the same directory with bb-config.php etc. and other vital files?

Seems unsafe? Or am I wrong?

Thanks for your help..

Great tool this bbPress

Sebastian

[chrishajer]

I suggest you contact Brian Gardner, the creator of the Revolution themes. That theme was created over a year ago and I suspect there are at least a couple problems with 1.0.

http://www.briangardner.com/blog/revolution-finally-meets-bbpress.htm

http://www.studiopress.com/support/

If Brian is not interested in updating that theme, if that is the problem, you may need to pay someone to make the modifications you need.

Hooray! This actually worked for me. I’m on Bbpress 1.0.2! Thanks mate!

[Bagi Zoltan]

I faced with the very same problem with two bbpress installations along with a WP. I slightly modified the function is_404() in the /wp-includes/query.php so the function returns true when the requested uri belongs to the forums.

function is_404 () {

global $wp_query;

if (preg_match('/(firstbbpressfoldername|secondbbpressfoldername)/i', $_SERVER))

{return true;}

else{

return $wp_query->is_404;}

}

After saving the irritating 404 issue has gone.

I have installed BBPress and integrated it with my WP install and theme. The issue I am running into is the BBPress seems to be aligned left, I am using the default kakumei theme, any help on how to center it onto my page would be greatly appreciated. Link to my BB install is below.

felabria, keep in mind that at WordPress.org, they do not have cookie sharing setup; so logging into the forums does not mean you’re logged into the codex, etc…

We fixed it by changing it to an echo call. But I think the problem was just a missing ‘;’.

As for Peacemaker, so far so good. I know it’s old, so I am looking for a good three column bbpress theme compatible with 1.0.2 and with a similar header feature to Peacemaker. But I haven’t found one yet.

Thanks

[chrishajer]

Did you see this?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-bbpress-theme-peacemaker#post-15554

That theme is over a year old, before bbPress 1.0 was out. There are probably some incompatibilities.

[chrishajer]

You will need to create a bbPress theme that looks like your WordPress theme. If you’re not comfortable creating a theme, you will need to find someone to do that for you.
