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 Any user post a topic it must not be published without activation by moderator.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

Hello, i need to use current page link for some code, how to get it from bbpress?

bb_uri(); returns main page link, but i need to get link where is user now.

bbpress 1.0.2

thank you

upd1: found after 1 min: <?php bb_location(); ?> don’t works (returns only current name of page, etc: topic-page, forum)

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

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.

[hpguru]

Try out https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/

http://www.wptavern.com/forum/bbpress/611-combating-bbpress-spam.html

[hpguru]

Yes, but i like this in admin pages index.php. How i create this manually or is this come to bbPress 1.0.3 or 1.0.4 etc?

You mean the overall installation age?

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

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mini-stats/

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

[Rohan Kapoor]

You have bbpress using the wordpress AND the bbpress css?-

[Rohan Kapoor]

Chances are your database needs to be looked at. You could email me at rohan [at] rohan-kapoor.com and I’ll look over database for you.

[Rohan Kapoor]

That would be painful because you would have to create topic slugs manually for anything coming in from phpbb/vanilla

[Josh Leuze]

You should be able to pull this off, but as far as I know there is no Vanilla to bbPress converter.

However, the phpBB to bbPress converter works well. Since phpBB is quite popular, you should be able to convert from Vanilla to phpBB to bbPress.

[1onely]

I want convert from vanilla to bbpress

I said, I would do it for free. That would be an optional donation if you appreciated my time and work.

I did an integrated install of bbPress today (WordPress ver 2.8.2) and it immediately messed up my main site. It deleted me as a user and I had to log back in as Admin to fix that problem. My front page went crazy and is still not fixed, and most of the time my site doesn’t appear at all when I type in the url.

I’ve removed the folder containing the bbPress files, but that hasn’t solved the problem. There are no bb_ files to remove from the database. Is there anything else that needs to be changed back?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

No, that’s expected behavior:

[hitboy]

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

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

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.
