I developed a tiny plugin to remove the meta generator tag : http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/09/bbpress-plugin-remove-meta-generator-tag/
P.S. – I will add it to the Extends section when I will learn to use it properly.
Just drop all the tables in the database via phpMyAdmin and re-install bbPress
There are a number of different causes of this report… it’s a bit hard to debug without more specific error info.
Any of these reports look similar?
http://www.google.com/search?q=+site:bbpress.org+Forum+could+not+be+created
So I ran through the install, I thought I did everything right, but then at the end it said:
Your installation completed with some minor errors. See the error log below for more specific information.
Forum could not be created!
(and in the error log)
>>> Forum could not be created!
No new BBpress stuff shows up in the admin side, and if I go to the address where the forums should be it redirects to the install page and says:
Oh dear!
bbPress is already installed.
Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?
(clicking upgrade just refreshes the page).
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
We have a number of female developers on the bbPress forums… they’re some of our most active members actually. 
If you’re using a number of _ck_s plugins, I recommend you restore from backups and go back to 0.9 btw…
The problem seems to be that wordpress adds slashes to the input in its initialization, and them comes bbpress and adds slashes once again, and since the code assumes that slashes were added only once, stange things happen.
solution that work for me: in bb-settings.php change
// Sanitise external input
$_GET = bb_global_sanitize( $_GET );
$_POST = bb_global_sanitize( $_POST );
$_COOKIE = bb_global_sanitize( $_COOKIE, false );
$_SERVER = bb_global_sanitize( $_SERVER );
to
if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) { // no need to sanitize if wp had done it
// Sanitise external input
$_GET = bb_global_sanitize( $_GET );
$_POST = bb_global_sanitize( $_POST );
$_COOKIE = bb_global_sanitize( $_COOKIE, false );
$_SERVER = bb_global_sanitize( $_SERVER );
}
_ck_ has mentioned she own’t be updating her plugins to support bbPress 1.0 til December at the earliest:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/support-for-09-how-long#post-38034
I use a lot of her plugins and I’m staying on 0.9 until December at least… possibly longer.
Some users have posted fixes for her bb-attachments plugin to get it working on v 1.0+:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/page/15/
If you apply those, maybe you’ll be able to get it to work again?
Good luck!
Upgraded to the latest bbpress version (1.0) I think.
I can still upload images with the attachments plugin except for when I am creating a new topic. For some reason the option only shows up when I am replying to an existing post.
Has anyone else experienced this after upgrading?
I dont know what happened but my images have stopped showing up in posts…
http://harrismarine.co.nz/bbpress/topic.php?id=233
I didn’t touch anything. What the hell is going on. I am running latest version.
They are all showing up with the cross icon as in the can’t be found.
I’ve found a solution for this. You need to edit bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-posts.php and replace the function bb_get_post (it is the first function in file) with
function bb_get_post( $post_id ) {
global $bbdb;
$post_id = (int) $post_id;
if ( false === $post = wp_cache_get( $post_id, 'bb_post' ) ) {
$post = $bbdb->get_row( $bbdb->prepare( "SELECT * FROM $bbdb->posts WHERE post_id = %d", $post_id ) );
$post = bb_append_meta( $post, 'post' );
wp_cache_set( $post_id, $post, 'bb_post' );
}
//here is the only new line for stripping slashes
$post->post_text = stripslashes($post->post_text);
return $post;
}
Not sure that it is the elegant solution but it works for me.
I’m hoping for IntenseDebate Connect!
None of my wordpress logins can log in to bbpress.
gerikg, are you for hire? If I give you the credentials to login and change this stuff on my site, will you do it?
I cannot make this work, and to say it is frustrating is putting it lightly.
Okay…I did everything…it doesn’t work.
I cleared my cache and everything, and when I try to login to bbpress is says user “admin” does not exist.
I can log in to wordpress just fine.
I should also note that when I tried to execute step 4:
4. Get the information from the plugin and put it in line 20 in wp-config and line 13 in bb-config. (if you’re using WPMU take out the HASH line when you put it in bb-config)
that when I put the information in the bb-config file (at the bottom) I got all sorts of errors in the header of bbpress until I removed that define cookie line.
Any help?
kaz email me my user name at gmail dot com
c4central replace the four keys with the 8 keys from this link: https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt
and I don’t understand “the wordpress admin should be bbpress admin, correct?”
Also, when you say do not use any www are you referring to when I am entering the settings into bbpress or wordpress, or just when obtaining those keys?
Just to make sure I am doing this right, the wordpress admin should be bbpress admin, correct? Everything else I am going to make a member of bbpress.
I am going to try this now.
Thanks!
hey I am having troubles here too: my issue – I have generated the eight secret keys in both config files, made sure user role for user 1 is keymaster in database, using same table prefix in both config files, done the bbpress integration plugin in wp – combed the forums and thought I was following to a t all the instructions – left out www from all entered URLs – and here is what i keep running into (sixth install now):
I can log into bbpress as keymaster, but when I try to log in to wordpress, it says: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
needless to say, i want to scream. From the above info, any thoughts on what could be throwing this off? I’m really frustrated that there seems to be no current section of bbpress documentation that thoroughly goes through, step by step, given the large amount of issues people seem to be running into with integration. thanks.
wpconfig.php in the WP root. bb-config.php in bbpress root. Advance is only for people who uses two different databases.
ashfame – it was your tutorial that I tried so many times.
When I say the login doesn’t work, I mean when I try to login to bbpress it says the user “admin” doesn’t exist!
ashfame, I also sent you an email after trying your tutorial over and over, asking for help.
gerikg, I will give that a try. I did not upgrade from an old wordpress, this is a fresh installation. I should have a few minutes to try that this afternoon.
Once we get this up and running, maybe you guys can point me in the right direction to get the themes/header matching. Actually, that is a project for another day
I’ll post my results!
Use this link: https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt It has 8 keys.
NOTE: do NOT use any “www.” anywhere when entering information.
1. Open wp-config line replace your new keys with the one from that link. (lines 55-61)
2. Copy the same keys to bb-config just add BB_ after define(‘ in each key so it will be define('BB_AUTH_KEY', '(lines 41-44)
3. Install & activate BBpress Intergration plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/
4. Get the information from the plugin and put it in line 20 in wp-config and line 13 in bb-config. (if you’re using WPMU take out the HASH line when you put it in bb-config)
5. Log into your BBpress admin section and navigate to SETTINGS -> WORDPRESS INTEGRATION enter all the information it ask for, save.
6. Clear you cache and you should be ready to go.
If you upgraded from a previous WP version take out define( 'WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1 ); because it doesn’t work on 2.8.4
Guys, I know there are umpteen million threads about this on here, and I think I have read all of them. I cannot get wordpress and bbpress to integrate for the life of me!
I have my wordpress blog all setup, and I have bbpress setup and installed as well. I am using wordpress 2.8.4, and bbpress 1.0.2. WordPress is installed at the root (http://www.mysite.com is wordpress) and bbpress is installed at http://www.mysite.com/forums. I know how to create the page linking to the forum, and I have actually already done that.
My problem is that when I go through the bbpress/wordpress integration, when I hit “save settings” in bbpress it logs me out, and my login no longer works. IT IS KILLING ME!
I have tried this 6 times, and I have had another person (with more experience than me) try this twice. We both ended up with the same result.
Is this working and I am somehow missing the fact that it’s working? Why does my bbpress login get wiped out?
I need the most basic of step by step instructions apparently.
Thanks in advance.
