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.

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).

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.

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.

[myballard]

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:

[Rohan Kapoor]

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

[Rohan Kapoor]

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

[jurasiks]

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)

[jscammel]

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

[hpcareernet]

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.
