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:

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.

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:

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,

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)

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

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.

[hitboy]

I am having problems with the cookies and login integration part. I followed the guide yet nothing seems to help. I edited both configure files and installed the plugin into wordpress everything seems good in the back system yet i cant get the user login part to work together.

My site is http://bloggerhouse.com/ and the forum is http://bloggerhouse.com/forum

Any help to getting this to work would really be appreciated thanks!

Bugs should be reported at trac.bbpress.org

[chrishajer]

You can use the “Admin can post anything” on anything up to 0.9.*. I don’t believe it works with 1.0.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-can-post-anything/

That will allow the keymaster to post anything, including scripts.

[taboo]

How about going to http://bbpress.org/forums/tags/make-sure-no-tag-exists

Should be 404 is… null.

(if it’s not right place to submit bugs, where should I send them?)

Ive seen some forums have special links coming up on a topic when there is some new post that a member didnt read, and the link will take you to the last unread post instead of the last post.

Is this something that can be done in BBpress?

Hi there,

I’ve some strange problems upgrading from 0.95 to 1.0.x.

I’ve a fine running 0.9.5 installation. When I tried upgrading to 1.0.1 I got two error messages. One is “your configuration file is invalid”. Sometimes it works then but after this I got the error “ERROR: could not establish database connection”. Configuration data is checked a hundred times and right.

Today I tried upgrading to 1.0.2 same problem. Turned again everything back and updated to 0.9.6 -> everything works fine.

See it in action here: http://www.celtic-rock.de/bbpress

Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

Daniel
