There isn’t a single bbPress plugin I am aware of that deactivates itself.

Any particular reason you didn’t mention which plugins were behaving like that?

There is an undocumented safe-mode option which deactivates all plugins but I can’t imagine why you’d have that activated in bb-config.php

[chrishajer]

What plugin are you talking about and is it a WordPress or bbPress plugin? Are you integrated with WordPress or WPMU? Maybe you are using an incompatible or unnecessary plugin.

[chrishajer]

Link to the plugin please, and what version of bbPress are you using?

You might have gotten a quicker answer by just trying it in your installation. You’ll have to share more information here for us to be of any help.

[chrishajer]

You can safely delete all the bb_ tables, unless you happened to use bb_ as a prefix for something OTHER than bbPress. Normally, bb_ is just the prefix for bbPress tables.

Are you trying to remove EVERYTHING from a bbPress installation, or are there some users or posts that you want to retain?

[chrishajer]

> I’m sorry mate but deep integration doesn’t slow anything down.

I think there would be many here who disagree with you. What sort of empirical evidence do you have that it does NOT slow anything down? Loading all of WordPress has to take some amount of time.

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#func

Doing this will add quite a lot of weight to your bbPress installation as it will cause WordPress to load in it’s entirety. Your best option is to try to emulate the functionality you require inside a bbPress plugin.

Tony did this the right way to get the functionality he needed.

Can you please link us to your site, It would help with debugging.

I get the same message.

[Rohan Kapoor]

Sure there is. Go to the admin, general and then you will see the option bbpress address: change that.

I have just set up WPMU with BuddyPress and BBPress. When I try to post a test message to a group from BuddyPress, I get “There was an error posting that topic.” I have followed all the instructions in the set-up. Can anyone give me any ideas about what is going wrong?

Hi,

I’m an old school computer person and feel it is very sloppy to display application subdirectories on your host site.

I’ve succesfully masked the URI of my WordPress 2.2 site to remove the ./wordpress/ subdirectory. I would like to be able to do the same thing with bbPress.

Is there a way to mask the bbpress subdirectory?

Thanks,

Amy

Hi there,

Another question for someone! So I figured out how to add last poster and first poster to a post. However I have the pages separated for the forums. Example:

Main theme — topics — freshness

section one 4,000 2 days

section two etc etc

You have to click each section to view the posts in that section. However the last poster and freshness show properly in the actual sections but not on the main theme.

I want the freshness column to show (3 mins, 2 mins etc ) on the main section as well as for each thread (it already shows for each thread but not on the main theme). Also when I add freshness like normal, it makes every section say the same thing (1 day, 2 days etc). Also when I add topic_last_poster, it just shows the same person posted for every section).

If you need to see what I am specificly talking about check it out:

http://www.ghostdroppings.com/bbpress/

See the main theme on that page. I need the column that says freshness to actually display who posted last in that section. But its not properly saying who posted last, I even posted in a section and the last poster didn’t change. I was hoping to combine them, (Name) Posted 12 mins ago or 3 days ago. If I can’t get the (posted 12 mins ago) I at least want the accurate person who posted last in that section.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Ps, I know there is this plugin http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/forum-last-poster/

However when I activate it, the bbpress forums won’t load at all. It totally freezes it up. I am using 9.0.4

Hi,

I’m looking for a way to prevent direct access to the bbPress system from the outside. I have some user communities and I would like to have the users sign onto the WordPress site, then access the BBS only from there. This way, the users would be forced to undergo SSL authentication and then access the BBS as a new window from a Page entry at the top of the site. (PS. I’m trying to do the same thing with phpFreeChat as well.)

Once they are logged on, they don’t need to keep their WP session alive (at least for now).

Is this something that is possible?

Thanks,

Amy

I agree. Deep Integration is the way to go. See my site: http://wpmu.zyrot.com/forums/

[Rohan Kapoor]

I’m sorry mate but deep integration doesn’t slow anything down. It is really the best way to get it working. Email me: rohan [at] rohan-kapoor.com I can work with you over msn or something.

[Rohan Kapoor]

Just click the upgrade script and it should be fine.

Hi smf, I tested Simple forums (I also tested Joomla with Kunena and ccborad, and phbb, and Vanilla).

In the end, I am settling for bbPress for forums because I need single-user sign on with my content system, and I settled on wordpress for that (Joomla was too slow and I wanted a very fast, responsive site).

So if you need forum integration with something, you have more factors to consider than just the forum software itself.

Simple Forums does provide single-user signon with WordPress, but it’s UGLY and there are no good-looking themes. That said, simpleForums is a highly functional forum system and seamless integration with both user and menu-system.

[gravitydk]

Just found this thread, and wanted to say I am using WP 2.8x and bbPress 1.01 succesfully together now; user integration is just what I wanted. Only catch remains the style (user interface) integration, which I’m hoping to sort out eventually (hard when I don’t know CSS at all).

[gravitydk]

You got the integration plugin installed? It specifically fixes cookies both ways.

Hey.

I was clearing my test forums on my bbPress install, I deleted all forums and when I try to load my forums I get this message;

Oh dear!



Please complete your installation before attempting to include WordPress within bbPress



bbPress is already installed.



Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?

What on earth has gone wrong? All I have done is deleted forums?

Thanks.

Something like this?

Hi all,

A little patience please. I’m trying to uninstall bb press to prepare for a fresh install to make the intigration with BuddyPress easier.

I’ve removed the bbpress folder. And now I’m ready to delete the database tables. I just need to know if I should delete ALL the tables with the “bb_” prefix, or if I should keep some in place.

I’ve read advice from a key master not to delete bb_meta and bb_posts.

I’m running WPMU 2.8.1 and the site is http://www.threesheetsnorthwest.com

Thanks for the help.

Hi all,

I followed all directions I have been able to find on the web but I still have a problem: logging in to bbPress logs me out of WordPress and vice versa. All settings and config files look ok.

The site is at http://www.stereostokey.com, and the forums are at http://www.stereostokey.com/forums

Any ideas? Could it have to do with the theme modifications I have made?

Cheers,

Tom
