ashfame I appreciate your enthusiasm but I personally will have to comb through all the changes in 1.0 and look for new problems it’s causing my techniques- some things will not be immediately noticeable as a plugin will appear to run but then not in all cases or not update database info, etc. I’ll organize a way for people to report specific problems as it gets closer towards December.
As I have repeatedly mentioned it’s also a matter of waiting for 1.0 to settle.
I see many little problems with it that will have to be fixed – there will likely be at least a couple more releases by December and probably many more little tweaks put in the trunk for 1.5 that might affect my plugins again.
Your energy is better spent debugging bbPress 1.0, or writing/porting other plugins for bbPress as there’s always something else needed.
These rewrites posted are correct. This is pretty much what we have.
Our environment is very different and we have a few in-house modules to handle ‘missing files’ in place of the ‘!-e’.
As far as the rewrites go they’re good, and obviously you must enable pretty perms for bbpress.
If your having problems ashfame, just cut/past the rewrites outside the file check conditional (if).
My first attempt with bbPress and it’s pretty basic at the moment:

As I get my head around templating and the like, I’m sure I’ll make future changes 
Hello,i have a site called azcs.co.uk, im using wordpress and bbpress and im trying to make the forum like my word press with no joy yet, i also whant to know how can i the Latest Discussions show only latest 5 posts only and on the forums i have forums saying modding, software and gaming i want to make these in bold and the background a different colour so that they stand out i also would like to know how to put a background image on the bbpress.
i hope this is not too much to ask
the forum can be found at forum.azcs.co.uk
I hope this is the right place to ask but I don’t know where else to go about it.
I’ve recently added bbpress to my site, and I’ve been trying to carry over the theme I use for WordPress. I’m not all that great with CSS, and there’s some weird problem with the positioning of the forum. I’m not quite sure I got all the div tags, as I’m still not 100% sure of the internal structure.
Here’s the forum link: http://www.nyahalcyon.net/forum
And here’s the website, as a reference: http://www.nyahalcyon.net
As you can see: the whole of the forum should be in the center, aligned with the background, and right now it’s very much on the left side no matter what I try. I’m obviously missing something somewhere, or I didn’t get the CSS right…
I’d really appreciate any hints or advice about this.
(I’m going to have to sort out the other pages, like the topic, forums, etc…. but for now I’d just like to get the front page working 100%.)
Hi, I have the 1.0 and my moderators BBPress I would put a panel of administration on the web without having to go to the administration, I want to put on ipod touch type images, like this:
http://i26.tinypic.com/15xo18w.png
but only the buttons that I see the moderators and not users, to hide some code exciste buttons for normal users?
These buttons are in the sidebar
My skill level: html: good
php: bad
css: well
I await your reply, Thanks!
I suspect the akismet plugin will eventually have a permanently delete feature like it does for WordPress.
If you have that much spam on your forums you have a bigger problem in that so many spammers are able to register so easily.
I can probably put a real delete button into Mass Edit
Your caps seem to have a problem of being stuck half the time, please fix that.
bbPress does not have any way currently to make a post sticky (I assume you mean inside a topic)
As an alternative you can use the new Edit Post Attributes plugin to change the post date and position to something earlier than the first post and that might make it the first post.
THIS IS NOT IN NEW VERSION BUT OLD VERSION OF BBPRESS BEING VERSION 0.9
STILL LOOKING FOR EXPERT to help with Reputation Plugin, POLLS and Avatars. My current expert seems to make things work less as time goes by. HELP!!
Son of a gun, I’m a dummy.
turns out i had permissions set too high. Chalk another one up to checking your error logs.
In checking my error logs – these are the only relevant lines I can find, which don’t really seem to have much bearing on my problem, but I’m including them for the sake of complete-ness.

You can have both, relative time as the main text and then when you mouse over, the real date:

I’ve got WPMU latest, BuddyPress latest and BBPress latest installed.
Everything’s mostly working how I want it (few minor quirks here and there, but i’ve been ironing them out pretty handily so far)….
… except BBPress. I did the full integrated install, and it went through without too any major issues, everything seemed to work fine. The database has been modified how it should be, from what i can tell, and everything looks fine in the directory structure…
… except I get this error on all bbpress pages now:
500 Server Error
A misconfiguration on the server caused a hiccup. Check the server logs, fix the problem, then try again.
URL: http://siliconangle.com/ver2/bbpress/bb-admin/
I doublechecked everything in the config files, and database stuff is configured properly. Permissions checked – no issues there that I can find.
i’m up against a wall, i can’t figure out what the deal is. any thoughts?
@marcomail
Nope! I have installed bbPress into a sub-directory. I will look forward to install it in a sub-domain also.
Yeah, I had the same problem when I updated to the most recent version of BBpress until I noticed this post over at https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/
transom wrote
To get Avatar tab in the profile working under Alpha-2 –
edit avatar-upload.php in the bbpress root
change line 7 from
bb_auth(); // logged in?
to
bb_auth(‘logged_in’); // logged in?
It worked like a charm for me.
I was able to resolve the problem and get it working thanks to my sloppiness.
The problem was created when I generated the four keys. I simply copied and pasted them to the wp-config file and the bb-config file. However, the defined keys are different in each file. For the wp-config file the auth key is defined as AUTH_KEY. Whereas, in the bb-config file it is defined as BB_AUTH_KEY. Once I put the BB_ prefix in for the four keys in the bb-config file it worked.
I do have the two programs working without the bbpress plugin.
I still have it setup as separate databases. The users are shared by defining it in the bbPress WordPress integration page by checking the “Show advanced database settings” and input your database information.
Thanks for your help.
On to the next step — Theme Integration!
@grassrootspa – I’m not sure why they did it that way… I guess so that you could restore the post if you wanted. WordPress doesn’t have a comments trash – if you delete a comment, the comment is gone. I think blog posts work the same way too.
So I guess the two systems work somewhat differently? That’s not the only difference either – WordPress also has a “moderated comments” layer in addition to the Akismet Spam layer, but bbPress only has the Akismet Spam layer. Dunno why bbPress doesn’t have a moderated layer either… maybe because bbPress doesn’t (yet) easily enable anonymous comments, so spam isn’t as huge a problem as it is in WordPress.
but you use bbpress in a subdomain ?
thanks, yes, load the environment it’s simple, but i’d bbpress quickly
Hi
Just uploaded the bbpress files to a folder I called /forum
went to mysite/forum/index.php and got this odd error report:
Secure Connection Failed
‘mysite.co.uk’ uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is only valid for web34.secure-secure.co.uk
(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)
Im lost here – any ideas?
Thanks
I think the script is one of those rare ones that works only with 1.0.
There’s no official support for permanent deletion of posts, but it’s a fairly often requested feature:
http://www.google.com/search?q=permanently+delete+post+site%3Abbpress.org
The only clean solution for now is to do it through phpMyAdmin?
Thanks for help. I’m using bbpress 0.9.0.2 any idea if this script works with that? I guess I can always do a backup and try it anyways.
There’s no official support for this… but someone wrote a script a while ago to unofficially pull this off for 1.0:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permanently-deleting-topocs-and-posts
I haven’t tested it though and it hasn’t been packaged as a plugin. If you try it out, definitely backup your database first – and test carefully!
It looks like my bb_posts table is growing out of control in size. As I was browsing I noticed most of the posts in it are spam/bozo/deleted posts that do not actually even show up on the forum. It looks like bbpress is really good at moderating spam and blocking bozo posts, but how do I delete all those posts from my bb_posts table?
