Maybe you need a plugin to send email using an external SMTP mailer?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/smtp-mailer-for-bbpress/

I’ve heard a couple times about bbPress on IIS not sending emails, but I’ve never been able to nail down why. I think people have successfully integrated SwiftMailer into bbPress as well, but that was with 0.9 or earlier. The plugin is good for 1.0+.

When do you get bumped to the top? After posting a reply, or when you go to view a topic, you always start at the top?

Also, what version bbPress are you using?

[chrishajer]

Yes, just click the hash (#) next to the time posted and you’ll see that that’s a permalink to the one specific reply. This is yours. Might not look like much unless your browser window is very small, but you can check the address bar to be certain it’s working.

This site isn’t too bad:

http://www.w3schools.com/css/

But if you just search the internet, you will find lots of tutorials and references. You’ve already gone about modifying your template files, so modifying the CSS is not going to be too difficult for you.

One topic per thread please.

There’s no need to have all those folders. Just put bbPress into a folder called whatever you want (forums?) and call it a day.

If you took the database connection details from your wp-config.php, be sure you don’t copy the CONSTANT names as well, just the variable part (the part about your database.) The constants are named differently in bb-config.php and wp-config.php.

If you copied over just the variable portion, then you did something wrong because it will connect in both places (WordPress and bbPress) if you have the connection details correct. It’s telling you right here that it’s not.

There was a threaded posts plugin a while back:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/threaded-posts/

I have no idea what version you’re running or if that plugin will work with it.

[chrishajer]

What version of bbPress did you install?

I believe the plugin page for Avatar Upload has a few suggestions as to how to use it in WordPress.

Hi all, just wondering if it is possible to add the forum description on a topic page?

I’m using bbPress 1.0.1 by the way…

[chawarong]

I would like to know the database schema, too. I have about 2000 posts from a flat file database and want to import it to bbpress. Anyone has any suggestions?

[Tommie Hansen]

Yes, you’ll just have to fetch the username and then have the same username in bbPress and then edit your comments-template.php inside your WordPress template. I don’t have the time to fully explain it though, but i will do it myself soon actually so…

I have an older theme, basically a hack of and old version of Kakuemei, and recently upgraded to bbPress 1.01. Now when users edit their password I’m seeing this message:

Password Strength Disabled (requires jQuery)

Everything still works fine, but I’d like to fix it if possible. How can I include jQuery and remove this error?

Thanks everyone,

Matt

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I’m experiencing a similar issue with BuddyPress, bbPress + XMLRPC.

Using the XMLRPC debugger that mypop used (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/forums-not-being-created?replies=14#post-11107), I get this error:

-32700 >> parse error. not well formed

My issues are explained on the BuddyPress forums as well:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/group-forum-post-not-posting-to-bp-but-does-to-bbpress

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

I’ve tried the script at http://62.233.82.132/illuminatus/bbpress/delete_directory.php but it doesn’t delete the two erroneous directories. I’ve also tried using plesk file manager but don’t have permissions to either delete file or change the current rwx r-x —. If I try to upload a theme to my-templates I get an ftp error ‘directory doesn’t exist’ so it appears to me that the two directories, my-plugs and templates, don’t serve bb1.0 automatic creation of directories well.

Hi all,

I have an irritating minor problem with bbsocialize plugin.

I used the hack of LidiaAnain (http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsocialize/) that adding facebook to the other social networks already in the plugin .

In the admin the Facebook display button can’t be selected for “yes”. It automatically reverts to “no” when the settings are saved.

Anyone knows how to fix this prob!

[jdschu]

I’ve been digging through a lot of the bbPress code trying to find a way to do this with no success. I want to require people to have a certain email address (_____@certainwebsite.com) in order to register. I feel like this should be really easy to do, but I’m still not very skilled in both bbPress and PHP.

There are only 150 plugins for bbPress and at least half of those don’t work with 1.0 because 1.0 is only a week old.

So spend a few minutes in the extend section and you can answer your own questions quite easily.

If you want to use plugins made for bbPress 0.9, use bbPress 0.9

Every rispectable forum got a Post Preview forum.

Is there a plugin to enable this basic functionality for bbPress.

After a simple research, it looks like the only one is Live Comments Preview, but it feels like it’s abandoned. It’s that the case, or does it work with 1.0.1.

Any alternative to that, or if I want live preview on my forum it’s the ony choice (if it works…).

Thnaks.

Since bbPress 1.0 is now making directories on it’s own from PHP it will cause problems for people on many hosts, because it will be created by the root/nobody owner and a local ftp will not be able to delete it because you don’t have the permissions as a regular user.

You’d need a short PHP program to delete those as the PHP owner.

<?php

rmdir("/var/www/vhosts/illuminatus.tv/httpdocs/illuminatus/bbpress/my-templates");

rmdir("/var/www/vhosts/illuminatus.tv/httpdocs/illuminatus/bbpress/my-plugins");

?>

I expect quite a bit of problems because of this from people on shared hosts.

The proper way for it to be done is with posix_setuid before file disk activity but I doubt they will ever do that (or just let people put the files in place like they did with 0.9)

ps. actually your directory names seem too long, what happens if you try to

rm /var/www/vhosts/illuminatus.tv/httpdocs/illuminatus/bbpress/my-templates

rm /var/www/vhosts/illuminatus.tv/httpdocs/illuminatus/bbpress/my-plugins

[okso]

Apache has created these two directories with permission rwx r-x — I get the following when trying to delete them:

Error: Unable to remove file /httpdocs/illuminatus/bbpress//var/www/vhosts/illuminatus.tv/httpdocs/illuminatus/bbpress/my-templates: filemng failed: rm: cannot chdir from .' to/var/www/vhosts/illuminatus.tv/httpdocs/illuminatus/bbpress/my-templates’: Permission denied

filemng: Error occured during /bin/rm command.

filemng: Error occured during /bin/rm command.

How do I delete them as Apache? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I’ve a problem with the Bavatars Plugin in bbPress 1.0.1 – integrated with WordPress 2.8 (User). I’dont understand where is the Link to the Upload-Page? I can’t see no effect on the Profil-Edit-Page. Do I miss something?

On http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bavatars/ I found an entry about the differance between Bavatar and Avatar Upload. One thing there was the statement: Avatar Upload is different because “Avatar Upload requires template editing.”

Where lies my fault?!

Greetings Markus

Hi,

I was wondering how I could display the bbPress plugin, Avatar Upload, in WordPress. Software: bbPress 1.0.1, WordPress 2.8.1

I am using bbPress as the profile’s home so to speak since I’d rather not use WordPress’ Dashboard and want to display the avatar of the user on the home page.

I have done deep integration both ways by using this snippet of code in [wp/bb]-config.php

if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) ) {

include_once( ‘/home/path/to/forums/[bb/wp]-load.php’ );

}

Then pasted this bit of code where I want the avatar.

<?php avatarupload_get_avatar(ID); ?>

However, as I expected it doesn’t work with the error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function avatarupload_display() in blah3 on line x

I tried adding <?php bb-head ?> and <?php if ( bb_is_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?> to the header but both result in an error

I am no programmer but I don’t think bbPress is being load correctly. Can anyone offer a solution or some advice?

Do a recount and make sure you upgrade to 0.9.0.5

These are the only changed files between the two that you’d have to replace to save you some time instead of changing them all:

https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset?old_path=tags%2F0.9.0.4&old=1898&new_path=tags%2F0.9.0.5&new=2131

(there is a zip download link at the very bottom of trac)
