I have this exact same problem as Sharpmouth in his first post up top here. EXACT, same error messages, same line numbers everything. DITTO for the second image he posted.

I also did the integration with wordpress during the install of bbpress and I followed it exactly, I had no trouble whatsoever, I skipped nothing but after clicking the final button to finish the installation I got the message it installed, but with errors.

@ ashfame you said, “Possibility is that you missed out something as the tutorial works flawlessly.”

I think your comment was snarky in my opinion. The tutorial got me through the installation but it doesn’t mean it worked flawlessly because following the instructions still ended up with results at end of install. Truth is I don’t think these errors have anything to do with the documentation on how to install, it has to do with the bbpress code itself. The code is broke regardless what a piece of paper (the tutorial) says about it.

@SharpMouth – your final message says you got it to work but to me it only sounds like a bandaid but the issue is still there even though you figured a way to hide the messages. You said you fixed it, does that mean you can click on the links to go to the bbpress Admin area or to LogOut, LogIn without getting the “headers already sent out” garbage?

How did you turn off error reporting? Better yet, what steps exactly did you take to fix everything to finally get it all to work? Remember, I am having the exact same results as you after the install, so please tell me what you did to get everything to work for you. Much appreciated, thanks.

Here are some extra screenshots, ones that SharpMouth didn’t post himself when he was having issues.

This first one was barely visible it had the error messages as white text on white background so I selected all the text so you could read it.

These next two are just showing the installation log. I blacked out personal info not needed by you.

For the screenshot below – As you see here in the red message box it says it completed but with minor errors. It isn’t referring to the error messages I highlighted in the first screenshot it is referring to the error about keymaster email not going out.

A little clarification: it seems like the converter is working, because when I go to the forum index, I see a whole ton of posts. But when I try to click into a topic, there are no posts in it.

When I run the converter, it goes through a few steps, but on the screen where it’s processing posts, it ends with a blank screen. No “success” message. Is that normal, or is it getting hung up somewhere?

(I’ve seen error messages, and I rectified those, so I recognize that difference, at least.)

[brightcoconut]

Wow, I’ve been at this for like 12 hours straight now…

The conversion of phpBB3 › bbPress seems to work, but it leaves me with no users in the bb_users tables. Is that normal?

Problem is, I have no idea what to do about it. I’ve tried importing into 0.9, and while it looked like it worked, I can’t get admin access, since it didn’t make me a user. I also tried importing into 1.0, but that looks even worse – on the forum index page, it doesn’t even show author’s names for the posts.

Either way, I can’t get Admin access to the forum, which makes the rest of anything (integrating, upgrading, etc.) impossible.

Help?

[gerikg]

Olaf just proved my point.

Here you go:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hot-tags#post-16484

Btw – I don’t really know all this stuff… I’m just using Google to search the bbpress forums!

[InvTrdr]

Oops. The link is http://invictatrader.com/bbpress/ and it is the welcome message at the bottom in most recent topics section on the top. I made it a sticky but it is not at the top.

Thanks.

[InvTrdr]

Is there a limit to the number of tags shown on the sidebar on a bbpress site? Can you control what tags to show or the number?

Thanks.

[johnhiler]

This will help with icons next to topics:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/topic-icons/

What type of sticky is your post… and where isn’t it showing up at the top? If you could share a link, that would also help a lot!

[InvTrdr]

As newer topics are added to my forum, my sticky post gets pushed to the bottom. How do I keep it on the top? I have also seen some bbpress sites that have little logos/signs next to different topics. How can that be done?

Thanks.

Hi everyone, I just started a site that uses WP and BBP together, and aside from a few outstanding issues, things are working out nicely.

I built a theme for the forum that matches the WP theme, and it has a sidebar. When the user is logged in, it shows Welcome [username] and shows the avatar, a link to edit profile, my favorites, and log out.

How can I have if the keymaster/admin/mod is logged in, a link to the dashboard? I tried some code from the default template, but nothing really seems to give me a direct link to admin. Is there a templates tag list for bbpress like the one for wordpress?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

People were asking for something similar to this before:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/combined-register-post

Best of luck to you if you manage to get something like that working, I found it a royal pain to bypass the various checks that non-fully registered users can’t pass.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Yep, you have to sanitize yourself, the database objects presume anything they’re passed has been already

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

My case is a little different then the search results I had, so a new topic.

As soon as I change my permalinks for bbPress, I get 404 errors for bbPress (even for bb-admin) so I lost control of everything and i had to manually delete the .htaccess file

Now when I switch to the 2nd permalink option then the forum loads up, admin panel is accessible too but any topic page or forum page gives a 404. And now when I switch back to none settings of the permalink everything works fine.

I delete the WP .htaccess too but it looks like that its permalink are working without any .htaccess file

I am a little lost here to what could be the problem.

Also when I delete the .htaccess file, the admin panel keeps redirecting me to the front page until I log out and login again from bbPress side.

I am stuck with the default permalinks option now.

Ok…after further testing and striking out, here is what a guy helping me and I have found out. We go through the ‘deep integration’ process, requiring the wp-load.php file in bb-config.php. Then we change all the bb_get_header(); with get_header();. That passes through the Hybrid News header’s style information but not the navigation.

When you link directly to the front-page.php, it shows the whole header, which is navigation, a banner ad I have in the header, everything. The same applies when you link directly to any of the affected pages in bbPress. However, it stops executing from there. So you just have the header and that’s it. There aren’t any errors showing up either.

So using my limited knowledge of PHP and my only slightly more developed since of deduction, one thing we can think which is different is we are bypassing:

path to bbpress / index.php

Here is that code:

<?php



require('./bb-load.php');



bb_repermalink();



$bb_db_override = false;

do_action( 'bb_index.php_pre_db' );



if ( isset($_GET['new']) && '1' == $_GET['new'] ) :

$forums = false;

elseif ( !$bb_db_override ) :

$forums = bb_get_forums(); // Comment to hide forums

if ( $topics = get_latest_topics( false, $page ) ) {

bb_cache_last_posts( $topics );

}

if ( $super_stickies = get_sticky_topics() ) {

bb_cache_last_posts( $super_stickies );

}

endif;



bb_load_template( 'front-page.php', array('bb_db_override', 'super_stickies') );



?>

This has to be easy (for those who really know PHP and WP). Right? Sadly, I’m not that kind of guy. It’s a bummer to have this kicka$$ WP theme and not have it be able to merge thematically with bbPress.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Read this – http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/09/fix-lost-admin-access-bbpress/

[brokenclock]

The steps I did:

* install bbpress without setting any WP integration,

* access the dashboard as admin, and configure the WP integration, but I did not touch the roles mapping,

* install and configure the bbPress WP plugin,

* relog in bbPress with my WP admin account…

and then I was not able to access the dash board…

Any idears?

[davidbolufer]

¡Muchas gracias Fernando por tú colaboración!

un saludo

[johnhiler]

There was a similar report on the plugin comments page:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpm/page/7/

The developer said you don’t need htaccess if you have pretty permalinks on… try removing your htaccess, and see if that helps? (Make sure to back it up, of course!)

[brucini]

have the latest version of bbpress and installed bbpm

when i try to send a pm all i get is a 404 Not Found message.

any idea why?

[johnhiler]

We should be ok. Best case scenario, Automattic will bring on someone to continue developing bbPress. Worse case scenario, we can fork the code from bbPress and continue development on our own… Since WordPress is open source, maintaining cookie/user integration is definitely possible.

But we can discuss all that in a separate thread… mostly just wanted to express appreciation for Sam in this thread! He wrote a huge amount of code and chimed in a lot of threads here on the forum – thanks again!

Sam, I hope the team at Automattic appreciates how hard you worked, and just how much they lost when you stepped down!

[chandersbs]

I really don’t hope that too.

Wow, really hope development doesn't stop on bbPress.

[johnhiler]

Olaf – The big reasons for me to stay on the older version are:

* Many plugins work on 0.9 but aren’t compatible with 1.0.

* 0.9 is really stable and battle-tested, while 1.0 is just a few months old.

* 0.9 is very fast, but 1.0 has a lot more overhead (like BackPress) which slows it down considerably.

It’s really a decision that each webmaster has to make for themselves!

In my case, I’m sticking with 0.9… but I recognize that as time goes on and 1.0 matures, the upgrade will become more compelling for me! But YMMV…

[Olaf Lederer]

I used the 0.9 branch until version 1.02 got released. While there are not so much reasons to upgrade from 0.9 to 1.02, people should always use latest versions. Why should I start with an older version?

makes no sense…

[frooyo]

Thanks Sam

Wow, really hope development doesn’t stop on bbPress.

I also hope the 1.0 release wasn’t rushed solely because Automattic knew Sam was about to leave.

[gerikg]

yeah but putting the same name on two “different” product is confusing. It can be called something else rather than lite, the reason I said it is because I think someone said that .9 is almost half the size of 1.0+
