Cookies and caches.

Flush ’em all. Manually delete if you have to.

If you’re able to tweak a regular template to a wordpress theme than is the next step to bbpress not so far.

I embedded both applications into my own site:

http://www.finalwebsites.com/forums/

http://www.finalwebsites.nl/blog/

my advice start with the header and footer!

surround anything with one div container, open that container in the header and close it inside the footer

I don’t think that’s been released yet hpguru?

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1149

Lack of ability to delete old posts is a long-standing issue. If you don’t have access to phpmyadmin, someone wrote a script which does it… but I can’t vouch for it as I’ve never used it:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permanently-deleting-topocs-and-posts

Before trying anything like this, make sure to backup all of your data!!!

I have followed the instruction for database/user integration, and it doesn’t work as it should. It recognizes the users’ information, but it doesn’t recognize if they logged in to the other. So I can log into my WordPress but still be logged out in bbPress. The reverse is true too.

Simple Press managed to get it right, but the interface is a bit bloated. I’m using WordPress 2.8.2.

bbPress should integrate nicely into whatever template the blogger is using. It should be that simple. Am I missing something???

I like how clean bbPress is, but it can’t be that tough to integrate, as I assume it’s produced in part by the same group.

[hpguru]

You can delete posts from database in bbPress version 1.1. Read from trac.bbpress.org.

[batrachoid]

As far as I can tell, BBPress keeps “deleted” posts indefinitely, allowing the admin to restore them, if necessary. The only way I know of to permanently get rid of them is to manually remove them from the database.

Okay I have managed to fix the problem by using phpmyadmin and removing the salt keys etc in bb_meta. but the integration is still not working any ideas?

EDIT: I can’t login to WordPress at all now. It just reloads the login page after i submit it. Any ideas?

[driz]

Hi. I have just set up a new WP / bbP website at http://www.paperviewzine.com/ and http://forum.paperviewzine.com/

I have just done the Integration but its broke the login system, when I login to my BB site it NO LONGER classes me as an admin, so i cant edit anything anymore. And when i login into the WP site it just refreshes the login page and does not login to the Wp-admin.

This has happened after changing those keys and stuff. I have had a look in the phpMyAdmin bit to see if i can fix the issues, BUT i cant find a table called bb_options like WP has? Where are the wordpress integration options for bbPress kept? and also how do I fix the problem I am having thanks.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Gee, I’m terribly sorry that the people volunteering their time for no compensation had their own lives to take care of. Take a deep breath. Okay? Good.

What version of bbPress is this? I’m assuming 1.0.2, but let’s be sure.

What version of PHP and SQL are on your server?

While we’re at it, Windows or *nix server?

Any blank lines before <?php or after the last ?> in your bb-config.php file?

[Olaf Lederer]

Hello,

just upgraded to 1.02 and found some issues regarding the “unique email address” bug from before.

Btw. in older version that was a problem too

update the email address in your profile:

If you change the email address into an existing one, it works fine but there is no message about (This is a tiny one)

Register process

I was busy to find some better way to add the recaptcha to the register form and noticed that the login form field is only tested if the email field is already filled. That worked better in version 0.9

everything else looks fine

I can’t use this forum if someone doesn’t help me with this problem. And I really want to use it because I like the concept of BBpress. I’ve been searching for the simplest ever forum, and this was it.

[Josh Leuze]

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.

[lstelie]

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

[johnhiler]

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.

[reclaimyourskin]

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.
