Thanks John, you’re right I should upgrade bbPress and see how that works.

No, I have not used bozo at on this particular forum.

Hello,

I use RPX, the easiest way is to redirect (a http refer in first line in register.php) to WP login.

By the way RPX is a very cool and polished solution for all weblogs that doesn’t want to manage user base.

It supports OpenID and the major so called “social” systems

Hi!

There are many posts about conversion from phpbb to bbpress.

however it seems the process is now more complicated??

Is there any developer who could be hired to do this conversion for our site? we have over 15,000 posts,

so would not like to loose them..

Thanks

Sam mentioned that 1.0.2 fixed some Akismet/spam stuff… maybe worth upgrading to see if that addresses it?

https://bbpress.org/blog/2009/07/bbpress-102-bbpress-0906-legacy-version-released/

If that doesn’t do it, do you have the bozo plugin installed now (or did you use it in the past)? That can cause weird problems…

[Josh Leuze]

I am getting some false positives with Akismet on an install of bbPress 1.0.1.

I’m ok with a few legit posts getting marked as spam as long as real spam is getting through. But for some reason I can’t get the posts to show up.

I did a search for spam, found several good posts marked a spam. I selected not spam, and they are no longer listed as spam. I did a recount, optimized my database, the posts are still MIA.

They show up as the latest topic, and when I am logged in, it will say “(60 posts +2 more)”, and when I click “+2 more”, the posts show up.

I even uninstalled Akismet, and checked the posts in the database to make sure there weren’t marked differently, but they are identical to the other posts.

Anyone run into this problem before?

[gardenfl]

Looks good.

I’m delighted to know that people are giving their time to work on new versions. I like BBPress and want it to continue.

hey, would really appreciate some help on this one so that I can promote (link back) to bbpress.org

For some reason I am getting errors when I try to install a custom theme. I took a default theme and copied it into the my-templates directory and it seems all permissions stuck as the default but I am getting an UNstyled site (CSS path is correct) and even the Screenshot sin’t displaying (just a blank image) in the Admin area.

See below (but permissions *are* all correct):

Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /wp/bbpress/my-templates/mythemetest/screenshot.png on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

[John Conners]

Unless I’m missing something I don’t believe you can log in with your email address to bbPress 1.0. You certainly can’t on this forum or my own (both running 1.0.2).

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

It was probably a cookie caching issue. Once in a while my cookies on FF go stupid and I have this exact issue. I have to dump ’em all, flush the cache, and magically it works again. It happens on any site, though, not just Akismet ones.

[spencerjw]

Do you mean after I lo into WP Admin or bbPress Admin?

When clicking on bbPress “Admin” I get taken to a page that displays the front page….OMG!!

Ok, as I was typing the above line I went to click on it just to verify exactly what I was seeing and to describe it to you. Then all of a sudden I am taken to the Admin Dashboard for bbPress.

Go figure that it doesn’t work for over 24 hours and as soon as I complain or ask for help it starts working. Damn ghosts in the machine…

[batrachoid]

What do you see? Do you see your Dashboard?

[spencerjw]

I’ve been browsing these forums for the last day and a half while installing the latest version of bbPress on my 2.8.3 install of WP. So far so good with one glaring issue. When I log in as my Admin and click the “Admin” link at the op left of the bbPress page I have no idea if I am actually seeing the admin area or not. I don’t see anything that says Settings or any way to customize my install, change themes, etc…

Am I missing something here? I’m kind of at a loss as to what I can do next to try to debug this issue. Even the login integration with my WP install worked out pretty well. When I log out of one system it successful logs me out of the other, same is true when I log in.

[balajimurugavel]

Thanks again,

I’ll check the above links, but I think its not that easy

[Marius-]

I’m not using any language files no. I wish I could, but bbpress did not have Norwegian.

I’m not using any plugins at all for BBpress. And I did not integrate BBpress with WordPress. It’s a perfectly clean install.

What do I have to do? Should I de-install it and do something different? You can see the installation on http://www.michaeljackson.no/forum

[paulandrew]

Yeah, looks like an openID wrapper of some kind. I tried it on a few sites with my google ID and it was really slick.

Here’s the WP plug-in. Will let you know if it works with bbpress once I try it.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rpx/

And yes, good thinking about the log-in–would probably redirect people to always login through wp/rpx just to be sure.

[Mark-k]

It is probably unwise to make this very premature announcement, but I’m working on integrating BB as a plugin of WP, with seamless installation, integrated users, login, search, themes (header, sidebar, footer and as much styling as possible), XML-RPC, Tags, RSS, compatibility with relevant WP plugins like goggle analytics and tinymce comments, and new widgets to show bbpress info. Right now the installation, user integration and login are working.

This is a spare time project, so there is no ETA…. (and if you think that I’m looking for a sponsor for this project, you are at least partly right )

Since it is a challenging project, I sometimes wonder if it worth it. More specifically, does someone in Automatic currently making an high level design for a similar feature and I’m practically wasting my time?

Sam, can you comment about this?

[kriskl]

Oh!

Thanks CK

[chrishajer]

Are you using any plugins? If so, disable them.

Are you using a different language file? I see the .no in your domain name.

Also, do you integrate with WordPress, and if so, what version. And what version of bbPress too.

The only other error I found close to this is here:

http://support.bbpress.de/topic/anmeldung-nicht-moglich-bitte-hilfe

That’s in German, which made me think of the language file. The complaint there seems to have something to do with a XAMPP installation. What server are you running on?

[hpguru]

Bug 2…

http://keskustelu.hpguru.net/search.php?q=iskelm%C3%A4

Try this search results. Many links don’t work and without text. Check Aiheeseen liittyvät viestit posts 1 and 2. More posts below. Posts link doesn’t work. Is this a bug? Check on my friend new bbPress install, doesn’t work search and index navigation.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/navigation-on-index-doesnt-work#post-55938 Navigation seems be a non-work… <!-- navigation code here --> I put this to theme.

[chrishajer]

You can just delete the files from the file system, if that’s what you mean. If you use an FTP client, there should be a way to delete the whole bbPress folder/directory (normally right click and “Delete” then answer the prompts). That will remove bbPress. You can remove the database tables next with a tool like phpMyAdmin. Hopefully your host provides something like that. You can log in and delete any table with a bb_ prefix, or whatever prefix you chose when installing (default is bb_).

Good luck.

Here’s the current state of deep integration – along with hints at the future path.

There’s no known way to access bbPress functions inside of WordPress:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/first-pass-at-a-fix-for-deep-integration-in-trunk#post-21621

Sam has said he’s willing to support WordPress function calls from inside of bbPress

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/what-is-the-opposite-of-deep-integration#post-36853

But WordPress isn’t returning the favor:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-access-to-bbpress-functions#post-37451

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-access-to-bbpress-functions#post-37460

So essentially, we’re looking at one-way integration being the probable future. bbPress is working hard to make sure it itnegrates deeply with WordPress, but WordPress isn’t making the same effort.

But- keep in mind that there’s a performance hit for “deep integration”! I personally use simple integration on my sites. _ck_ highlights the advances of simple integration here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/display-bbpress-on-wordpress-page-inside-the-blog#post-25353

It’s pretty disappointing that WordPress isn’t using BackPress… especially since Sam made such a huge effort to integrate BackPress into bbPress. Also, bbPress took quite a performance hit from integrating BackPress.

I’m hoping for a miracle somehow to redeem bbPress! In the meantime, I’m preparing contingency plans…

[johnhiler]

It sounds like a plugin which lets you use OpenID or other commercial services to sign in…

If users sign in using your WordPress domain using RPX, then they should automatically be signed into your bbPress (I can’t say for sure though, since I’ve never used PPX).

But to have it work 100% of the time, you’d probably have to disable registration and signin from the bbPress side of things…

[DennisH]

Deep integration is what I meant when I said we intergrated our theme. Outside of a few minor adjustments we used this method:

http://tinsology.net/2009/05/seamless-wordpress-bbpress-integration/

It worked very well in terms of using WP within BB. The issue now is getting BB within WP.
