So my bbpress is broken, and I don’t know how to fix it.

I built my site with wordpress in a sub directory. I integrated my bbpress with my wordpress and it worked great!

Then I decided that I wanted my URL to look like its own domain, instead of a subdomain. My wordpress went from being

brandonmdennis.com/oxhorn

to

oxhorn.com

I saved my pagelinks and presto, everything is snazzy. I went to check my forum, however, and it was broken. My forum was missing, but I still saw the admin section. So no sweat, I logged into the dashboard and proceeded to change the URL in settings from

brandonmdennis.com/oxhorn/forum

to

oxhorn.com/forum

Thinking that this would solve the issue. I clicked update, and got to an “oops! page not found” screen. But now I can’t even log into my bbpress install dashboard. Everything I do now sends me to an “oops” error page.

I tried uninstalling bbpress by removing the folder and removing the wordpress bbpress integration plugin. I tried doing a new, clean installation of bbpress, but when I get to step two I see the message “Woops! Looks like you already have bbpress installed” and it wont let me go further. I even tried installing it in a different subdirectory and got the same problem. My questions are:

1) How do I re-install bbpress?

2) Is there some code I need to remove from my wordpress installation?

3) How do I re-integrate my bbpress with wordpress so that they share the same database? I had it working splendidly until I changed my WordPress domain name.

WordPress site:

oxhorn.com

Bbpress installation:

brandonmdennis.com/oxhorn/forums

Thanks all!

Then you can create a PAGE in wordpress called Forums and it will link to the forums folder automatically.

That entirely depends on your permalink structure. You shouldn’t need to make a page for ‘forums’ at all, if WP is set up correctly, even as a subfolder under the main wordpress folder. I never do

This lets you mark a forum as admin only:

You’re not snoooping around enough. bbPress development is still occuring, just on a much smaller scale than WordPress. In the past couple months we’ve had a couple alpha version of 1.0, a 1.0 release, 1.0.1 release, 1.0.2 release, 0.9.0.6 release and a new theme at bbpress.org.

You can always watch for activity here:

https://trac.bbpress.org/

Or subscribe to the bbDev mailing list if you really want the nuts and bolts:

https://lists.bbpress.org/mailman/listinfo/bbdev

What versions of bbPress and WordPress did you integrate?

[chrishajer]

Need a little more information. What software did you integrate bbPress with? Is the warning a browser security warning or warning from that software? Can you post a URL?

Some progress. According to my geek, it seems the installation process reset a variable showing all posts as unpublished. He reinstalled WordPress and did some tweaking of the modifications bbPress did to the database, so now at least we have the archive back and all the old posts are visible. The front page seems to be working as well.

However, I still can’t publish any new posts.

We’re working on it.

I figured it out. I had access to the server logs, but they were still returning 200 ok and looked fine. After disabling plugins, it looks like WP-reCAPTCHA was conflicting with bbpress’s reCAPTCHA. I should have realized that, haha.

Yes. Check out https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/topics-per-page.

Hi everyone,

I just want to know how to integrate bbpress with other CMS like Frog CMS, Jaws ,Concrete 5 etc.,

I mean I want installation steps ( although I love WP but still want to know how to install bbpress with other simple CMS that are available)

[jurasiks]

don’t works with google translate http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=en&tl=ru&u=

works only at main page

[mikeumus]

So Godaddy(my host) updated/migrated all of their databases recently and now my forum at http://www.redvets.com/forum gives me this error:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘p50mysql77.secureserver.net’ (4) in /home/content/m/i/k/mikeumus/html/redvets.com/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 123

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_die() in /home/content/m/i/k/mikeumus/html/redvets.com/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 614

and the same error when I try to access the back end at: http://www.redvets.com/forum/bb-admin

Now http://www.redvets.com/forum/bb-login will successfully open the login page, fully rendered with no errors, but I believe that is because this page has nothing to do with integration or the databases.

Is there a way I may be able to tell the database directly through PHPmyAdmin that the database name has changed?

Also, why does it feel like all developement for bbPress has died? Is this just my comparing it to Worpress or am I just not snooping around this bbPress.org enough?

It’s PHP 101

Hello friends.

I am using WordPress since lst 2 year has I must say it just AWSOME. I have just installed bbpress a week back just wondering that bbpress has many thing missing as a complete forum.

1. Moderator. Any user post a topic it must not be published without activation by moderator. I tried the plugin”moderator suite” but its nt working.

2. Number of view: Each post in the forum must display the number of times it has been read. I Could not find any suitable plugin for this.

If I am wrong some where, please guide me for the same

[arnet7]

I have bbPress running for a class reunion program but some users are having trouble loging on after registering.

“I had a password sent, but when I tried to log on, message was that I had to send message from non secure site? and would not accept. Thanks.”

What can I do to fix this?

[bock-the-robber]

It looks like a database issue ok. I’m getting somebody to look at it now. Obviously the bbPress integration messed something up.

I have now created a way for all the new and undiscovered bbPress powered forums to submit their site for inclusion in the next list:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top100?add

It’s getting harder and harder to find them all as there are so many themes and customizations being created, so feel free to submit any forum you know is powered by bbPress to help me.

@sam

thank you sam and sorry for the request ;P

[k70]

If anyone has got one working with latest versions of bbpress, please share. Also any special steps or alterations needed to get it to work? Key features would be a user report option and ability for moderator ban or block.

Thank you.

My plugin – https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/recaptcha-bbpress/ – does work with the latest version of bbpress.

However, if you are using a customized template, you may need to change that, as a 0.9 template I had didn’t work with it.

You mean the overall installation age?

You can also get that from the Mini-Stats plugin (among other info).
