Ya I’m not interested in paying $10 for you to “help” me but if anyone wants to make some real suggestions please do so thanks

I’m assuming you have it like this:

/site1/wordpress files

/site2/wordpress files

and not /site1/wordpress/wordpress files

Right?

If so, just put it the site1 folder as a ‘forums’ folder and you should be fine.

Hi

I have just registered as I am looking to add a forum to my wordpress website and need some basic advice.

I have read a number of posts on the subject and also the installation instructions, integration instructions and FAQ’s and I am getting very confused.

I guess I need to know where in my directory I install the bbPress. Do I have to install it in the root file, or in one of the WP files? My problem is that I have a number of websites, each using a different install of wordpress as the basis of the website, within my root file.

Will an installation of bbPress at root level affect all of the websites?

Or do I install bbPress in one of the WP folders relevant to the specific website?

How do I create a link from the specific website – do I simply create a new page on the blog called “Forum” and use the url address for the page within the bbPress installation at some point. I guess this might become clear to me as I progress with the installation, but not knowing where to put the installation at this stage I am unaware, so a heads up of what to expect will help.

Thanks.

Ditto here. It’s choking on the » character. No RSS feeds work, including here on BBPress’ own forum.

Fix please?

Did you import your data from somewhere else? If so, maybe it’s this same issue:

Hey Mate, you can email me at rohan [at] rohan-kapoor.com . I can help you get it working.

Yeah an iframe would do the job properly and it wouldn’t look ugly either,

1) https://bbpress.org/documentation/upgrading/

2) make clear installation of bbpress 0.9.5. at same domain and db and compare both bb-config.php (use another prefix)

Hello

I have installed bbPress 1.0.2 today here:

http://www.newlondonsingers.org.uk/blog/wp-content/bbpress

Step 1 & 2 of the install did not have any errors, but step 3 said could not create Forum

I selected options to integrate WordPress (v 2.6.3) which is here

http://www.newlondonsingers.org.uk/blog/

I also have the plugin Members-only installed (v 0.6.7)

Am using PHP 4 and MSSQL 4.1.22

I can’t access bbPress – assume I go to :

http://www.newlondonsingers.org.uk/blog/wp-content/bbpress

which then goes to here: http://www.newlondonsingers.org.uk/blog/wp-content/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php

– says Oh dear!

bbPress is already installed.

Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?

Please can you help?

Many thanks

followed the step by step BBpress installer. got close but not close enough. Here’s what it’s telling me. I understand the the bb-config was not writable, I know how to change file permissions. My question is: how / where do I go to manually update this info?

>>> WordPress cookie keys not set.

>>>>>> Your “bb-config.php” file was not writable.

>>>>>> You will need to manually re-define “BB_AUTH_KEY”, “BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY” and “BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY” in your “bb-config.php” file.

Okay, so I’ve integrated bbPress with my WordPress DB and theme. I’ve customized it quite a bit but I’m still having one very annoying problem.

http://scrawlfx.com/forum/topic/welcome-to-the-forums

See that huge space on every response? Why does that happen? How do I remove it? I’ve looked in the CSS but have found nothing. Please help me out.

[hitboy]

I am having problems with the cookies and login integration part. I followed the guide yet nothing seems to help. I edited both configure files and installed the plugin into wordpress everything seems good in the back system yet i cant get the user login part to work together.

My site is http://bloggerhouse.com/ and the forum is http://bloggerhouse.com/forum

Any help to getting this to work would really be appreciated thanks!

Bugs should be reported at trac.bbpress.org

[chrishajer]

You can use the “Admin can post anything” on anything up to 0.9.*. I don’t believe it works with 1.0.

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

That will allow the keymaster to post anything, including scripts.

[taboo]

How about going to http://bbpress.org/forums/tags/make-sure-no-tag-exists

Should be 404 is… null.

(if it’s not right place to submit bugs, where should I send them?)

Ive seen some forums have special links coming up on a topic when there is some new post that a member didnt read, and the link will take you to the last unread post instead of the last post.

Is this something that can be done in BBpress?

Hi there,

I’ve some strange problems upgrading from 0.95 to 1.0.x.

I’ve a fine running 0.9.5 installation. When I tried upgrading to 1.0.1 I got two error messages. One is “your configuration file is invalid”. Sometimes it works then but after this I got the error “ERROR: could not establish database connection”. Configuration data is checked a hundred times and right.

Today I tried upgrading to 1.0.2 same problem. Turned again everything back and updated to 0.9.6 -> everything works fine.

See it in action here: http://www.celtic-rock.de/bbpress

Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

Try this?

I currently have the function members online on my BBpress forum but it only gives me member’s name with links. I’d like to be able to output the member’s avatars, or at least getting some function do display a certain set of random avatars of members with links to their profile.

Is one of these ideas possible with some function or script? Thanks in advance.

I just installed bbPM and it works perfectly using the latest install of BBPress.

[cTubes]

Using version 1.0x

I have install step 1 successfully completed. When I hit ‘goto Step 2’ it tells me “Oh dear! bbPress is already installed.”

and I have no way going to install Step 3 – site settings. That’s where my problem starts.

When I browse the install directory: ctubeslabs.com/bp/ I get a rudimentary login screen where it tells me that http://ctubeslabs.com/forum/ can not be found. No wonder, this should be …/bp/

but where can I configure the forum path? I searched through all PHP files but did not find this config value.

I am stuck, thanks for any help,

You would need to iframe it to do that. A basic include would not work in that way.

Hello,

I saw a somewhat similar post on here about integrating bbpress into wordpress pages, but what I want to do is relatively simpler than that.

Basically all I want to do is to “embed” a given bbpress forum into a static webpage. I’d like to not have the top header and all of the navigational links appear, but I’ll take what I can get for now ; P

Using the <php include> tag I was able to embed a forum into a webpage, but the problem is that the area I want to embed into is 500px wide. The bbpress forum is inside of that area but also spills out onto the rest of the page. The php include is being placed into a <div> area and I want the width fixed while the height changes based on how much content is inside it.

My code looks like:

<?php include(‘http://example.com/forums/forum.php?id=12&#8217;); ?>

I’m sure the best way to do what I want would be something like:

<?php include(‘../forums/forum.php?id=12’/main_forum); ?>

but I’m not too sure.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
