Hi there,

My bbpress theme works fine in the latest versions of ie, safari, chrome and opera but the main content area shifts out of position when viewed in firefox. I would be grateful if somebody have a quick look at it please and offer any suggestions as to why this is happening.

There was some discussion of 503 errors on a bbPress install here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/second-page-gone

Maybe something there will be helpful?

I have been combing the forums and have found a variety of answers to this, but many are old and am wondering what the most current directions are for using WordPress headers and footers to unify the look and navigation with the BBPress section with the of my site. I have simple directory structure, i.e. wordpress in the root, bbpress as a subdirectory, and have completed cookie and user integration. Any advice or links to current threads would be great. Thanks.

I recently installed bbPress on a shared Linux hosting system (elief.com). It’s running a LiteSpeed web-server:

http://www.randysteerforanc.org

Installation went fine, and I posted a few “starter” topics successfully, but ever since it was first installed, I have to load almost every page twice. The first time any page tries to load, it gives a “503 Service Unavailable (The server is temporarily busy, try again later!)” error message. If I click the browser’s reload button, the page almost always loads correctly the second time.

So it stumbles along, but reloading every page and every post will be really annoying for my users.

I’ve run other PHP packages on this server before without running into this problem.

Any suggestions?

Honestly when it comes to basic integration there’s absolutely no difference. WP and WPMU are the same codebase after all. The only real difference is whether or not you want your blog owners to be automatically added to your primary blog and by proxy as members of the forum.

Deep integration is accomplished exactly the same on either platform too. Just stick with µ, eventually (as in anywhere from tomorrow to 2017) the two will merge anyways and if you install a second copy of standalone WP.org for your forums, you’re just going to wind up with two µ’s down the road.

I noticed you tagged this convo bbmu, just so you know (you probably do) but when you integrate bbPress with µ you don’t get bbPress µ as a result. When /bbpress is accessed, no matter the blog, the viewer will get the exact same forum.

here’s what I did to get a page in wordpress in my navigation bar that redirects to the bbpress part of my site: set up a page template and made sure it was selected when I set up the forum page in wordpress – the template simply included redirection code:

<?php

/*

Template Name: Forum Section

*/

?>

<?php

header( ‘Location: http://www.yourdomain.com/your-forum-name-directory&#8217; ) ;

?>

You might want to explore where that 500 is coming from, that probably shouldn’t happen. I did the same thing just to see if it was inherent to bbPress or maybe just bbPress.org, and it seems it might be just you. I got a blank page (would be nice to see that redirect somewhere else for non-existent tags) but it was showing a 200 ok, and not a 500.

I just realized bbPress doesn’t have anywhere to view/edit tags in the administration panel. Is that coming down the road?

[chrishajer]

Can you post a link to your forum where someone can see the problem?

Are you using any plugins that might cause this?

Maybe there’s a problem with your theme?

How about AJAX and JavaScript? I think tag removal depends on JavaScript.

I’m not sure if deleting a topic deletes the tags with it. I tend to think it doesn’t since there is an admin option to recount and find tags with no topics (stranded tags.) Also, bbPress would have to be smart enough to know if a tag was used only on that topic and no others. Maybe it’s that smart but I am guessing it doesn’t work like that.

[joseffb]

Not working.

The bbpress plugin didn’t give me a domain name so I added it in, but I had to leave it off of the wp-config because if I add it in then the primary domain (with a different domain name) can’t login correctly.

Primary = theitsites.com (blog ID 1)

Secondary = channeltechcenter.com (blog ID 15)

Forum = channeltechcenter.com/forum

This is how my config files look now:

bb-config.php:

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.channeltechcenter.com’ );

Thanks for the reply.

d) which credentials? login credentials through GET? u gotta be kidding me

Well, yeah. I was thinking more along the lines of using such a thing with the guest account w/o password, so I could load /bbpress?user=guest sort of thing.

I did see an LDAP login plugin. I’ll have a look at that.

thanks,

Linus

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Technically its all feasible.

a) you can override bbPress login functions with the ones matching with your portal

b) that’s again feasible (I think CK was working on a plugin for this, try some searching)

c) its feasible but I don’t have any idea of going about it

d) which credentials? login credentials through GET? u gotta be kidding me

[lkemsc]

Hi,

I would like to integrate the bbpress forum into a portal site that has its own login/authentication.

Is there some way I can either

a) not require logging in?

b) provide external authentication

c) provide a guest account that doesn’t need a password

and/or

d) provide credentials through query parameters

or… Is there an other better way?

thanks a lot,

Linus

[ailusia]

Yes, I removed the database tables and everything else, then I extracted bbpress from zip again, reinstalled and now it works… thanks.

[chrishajer]

Maybe you could add that capability to the member role?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/role-manager/

[chrishajer]

If you want to reinstall, you also need to remove the database tables, in addition to bb-config.php.

You can also edit your bb-config.php and add a line like this to override the configuration:

$bb->uri = 'http://klikerlab.pl/forum/';

Help! I renamed my bbpress file directory name…

You have to rename the folder where you installed bbPress as well, from bbpress to forums. You can’t just make the configuration changes.

[ailusia]

Hi,

I wanted to change the forum url from /bbpress to /forum through the Settings in admin panel, and after doing it it shows a 404 error when I enter the /forum url, and this:

http://klikerlab.pl/bbpress/

with bbpress url. I can’t access the admin panel now. What should I do?

I tried to remove the files and install it again, but it showed a message that bbpress is already installed.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

On line 2368 of functions.bb-template under bb-includes dir of your bbPress resides the code you want to change.

bb_current_user_can( 'edit_users' )

Editing a core file is not recommended but I am unsure of how to mask it to call a custom function instead of the core function.

If its unmaskable for now (architectural) and you want a fix, then either you can change that bb_current_user_can( 'edit_users' ) with bb_is_user_logged_in() but you will have to do it again when you upgrade (or till someone posts a recommended fix) or you can append this line in your profile.php after the call to the bb_profile_data()

<?php

if ( bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {

echo $user->user_email;

}?>

[untested but should work]

You may have lost keymaster capabilities?

If so, you can restore access with this plugin:

Hey everyone,

Just started with bbpress.

I have been trying to do an integration with WP, but as soon as I set it all up and saved it…

I visited the test ‘forum’ and logged in (with WP log in info) and now I can’t figure out how to reach the forum admin,. It’s disappeared.

What’s going on?

[chrishajer]

please start a new topic for your new issue regarding tags.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Abbpress.org%2Fforums+bb_tag_heat_map

The tag will never show up twice. Try adding the same word to a topic and see what happens, and try adding that same word to another topic and see how the relative size in the tag cloud grows.

[chrishajer]

I think you could probably add it an allowed tags, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-can-post-anything/

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-using-the-strike-tag#post-3709

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/allowing-html#post-5279

To align the text, you’re going to need to allow a div or span I think, with a limited number of attributes.

There was some recent discussion too, with someone posting a lot of code, but I can’t find that reply right now.

[chrishajer]

That’s the best way of doing it. I think I would concentrate on why it wouldn’t allow you to do what is a normal function in bbPress.

[johnhiler]

The tag cloud would show “sample” only once, but it would be larger than the other, lesser-used tags.

You can see an example at the top of the bbpress forums, under the section entitled “Hot Tags”:

https://bbpress.org/forums/

[InvTrdr]

I was talking about duplicate tags. For example if ten users had “sample” as a tag, I do not want to see it under Tags ten times also. Is that possible where bbPress will let me see duplicate tags and give me an option to delete them too?

Chris did you mean it will “grow” in size only if used once already and not repeat itself several times under Tags? That might work too. Just want to make sure if “sample” is the only tag used by a hundred users it does not show up a hundred times under Tags.

Thanks.
