Hmmm Got this error message:

Warning: Unexpected character in input: ” (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/bajentes/public_html/bbpress/my-plugins/no-duplicate-displayname/no-duplicate-displayname.php on line 2

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/bajentes/public_html/bbpress/my-plugins/no-duplicate-displayname/no-duplicate-displayname.php on line 2

What to do….

Ah, well, that did help me at least get into my admin area, thanks. Now what else needs to happen, other than deactivation the integration plugin? There have to be some settings in WP and/or bbPress that need to be set back to something, no?

I doubt that too but I am wondering if that didn’t work out

[msmeritt]

A while back, I added bbPress to my website. I used the bbPress Integration plugin and followed the screencast instructions, but it never quite worked right. Since then, I’ve seen too little need for integration, and I’d like to just get rid of it — keeping the bbPress installation, but getting rid of integration.

I can’t find good instructions on how to do this. Further, I can’t even properly get into my bbPress admin area. I log in, but I just get the regular bbPress screen, and when I click Admin, it just redirects me right back to the regular screen. And I do believe this is the result of things going wrong with cookies because of the integration plugin.

Help! Thanks

1. Created the database;

2. Uploaded the bbPress files to the destination directory;

3. Went to my forum URL and got the appropriate install screen;

4. Proceeded to Step 1, where I entered the pertinent info (Database name, Database user, Database password);

5. Upon entering the requisite info, I hit ‘Save database configuration file’ button;

6. The next screen tells me “Your settings have been saved to the file bb-config.php You can now continue to the next step.” I click ‘Go to Step 2’;

7. Blank white screen (http://www.mywebsite.com/forum/bb-admin/install.php).

Note: I have tried starting from scratch I have installed a new database, then re-uploading the bbPress files, creating the ‘bb-config.php’ file manually from the sample version, then uploading it via FTP. When I do it this way, I get the blank white screen immediately, without getting any introductory/installation pages.

I have installed many wordpress blogs on the same server on various domains with absolutely no problem.

Hi, is there a way to make a link for the latest post on the forum homepage, so a vistor can go directly to that instead of navigation through the pages.

I am using bbPress 1.0.2

Thanks in advance.

i use human test for bbpress and no 1 spam user on my 2 forums.

[Vietson]

Is there a better way to stop spam registration? My bbPress forum is bombarded with spam registration.

I have askimet, bozo, bb-nospamuser, and php4bbpress but it still doesn’t help. Anything else I can do to stop the spamming?

You could use this: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/disable-display-name/

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

A threaded forum layout could be achieved using a template, you’d just have to code it yourself by loading the titles from each thread (and add titles, either yourself or with a plugin) or find someone who has already done it. Why isn’t bbPress like that? It’s made to be as simple as possible so you can build what you want from it.

nice work.

but I think avatars is too big!

[Olaf Lederer]

check your profile page or the profile page from someone else

the forum you have mentioned is not a bbpress forum

[Josh Leuze]

It looks like the original poster’s link still works Adam:

Maybe it was a temporary outage?

[grassrootspa]

My money is that Sam was simply implementing the new site template.

[gerikg]

kawauso, Would this work https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/

[gerikg]

I just found this: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wpmu-enable-bbpress-capabilities/

[gerikg]

I click on Rebuild and it worked.

[gerikg]

It’s happening to me. WPMU 2.8.4a+BB 1.0.2+BP 1.0.3 I’m going to try to use

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/user-roles-table-for-bbpress/

I’ll let you know, I have a lot of users so it might take a while…

– how to quickly see my own posts ?

– any chance to search for posts by username ?

I do see this issue elegantly solved at Gossamer-Threads-software.

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/forum/

Any chance to have this search-feature at BBPress-software ?

[rickxxx]

why is BBPress-software not a threaded forum ?

I do see this issue elegantly solved at Gossamer-Threads-software.

Any chance a threaded forum-layout is being integrated into BBPress ?

WordPress itself just underwent a pretty serious security attack:

http://www.cmswire.com/cms/web-cms/wordpress-under-attack-upgrade-now-or-forever-live-in-fear-005489.php

Since bbPress 1.0 shares a lot of code with WordPress (through BackPress), it may or may not be vulnerable… hopefully Sam can weigh in definitively on this one!

[johnhiler]

Yah I’m guessing it’s either a bug with 1.0… or someone needs to use the recount feature in the admin!

[Mark]

Everybody needs a break from time to time. They were probably just sleeping in.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Mine was to check the bug tracker… oh dear

[johnnydoe]

my first reaction was to check the sourcecode haha
