Count me among those users who would very much appreciate having the automatic upgrade functionality built into bbPress – either as a plugin or as core.

(And, I’m loving bbPress 1.0.x!)

[Marcomail]

i’ve solved partially this problem moving bbpress in a subdomain

[Geezerjim]

I’m “pressing” on, if only for the bbPress (and MediaWiki) knowledge I’ll gain. I’ve been starting with the information here.

Its always hard to track what you missed as compared to a fresh procedure. If you are doing fresh installations of both then I would want you to take a look at my tutorial that I wrote yesterday : http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/07/integrate-bbpress-10-with-wordpress-28/

and if they already hold data, then we will try to trace the cause and get it fixed.

Hope that helps!

Hi friends.

I have a phpBB 3.0.5 forum.Now i want to convert it to bbpress.I have my database.Can any body please help me ..how can i do it ..

waiting for your reply..

thanks in advance..

[Marcomail]

I’ve moved bbpress in a subdomain, i’ve change the url of the forum….now what i must doing ?

[Gautam]

This shouldn’t be the case. However, check the topic.php of your theme and see if there is the currect loop. It should look like this:

<?php foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class(); ?>

<li id="post-<?php post_id(); ?>"<?php alt_class('post', $del_class); ?>>

<?php bb_post_template(); ?>

</li>

<?php endforeach; ?>

And did you follow the steps to upgrade written here – https://bbpress.org/documentation/upgrading/

hi,

I upgraded from bbpress-0.9.0.4 to bbpress-1.0.1, it all went smooth, the only problem is now, that the post content isn’t showing up, I tried also with the original theme, no change.

In the database the content is still there.

edit: and also in the bb-admin I can see the post content.

I did the upgrade, before on another installation, and it all worked out, so I’m a bit clueless now, what the problem is in this case.

I’m having login problems with my WordPress and bbPress integration. I have to login to both programs. However, when I log out of either program, I log the other program out.

I have WordPress 2.8.1 and bbPress 1.0 installed.

WordPress is installed on the main directory (i.e., my-site-url)

bbpress is installed as a subdirectory (i.e., my-site-url/bbpress)

I’ve checked to make sure the four keys in the wp-config and bb-config files match up.

I’ve checked to make sure the auth_salt and logged_in_salt keys match up between WordPress and bbPress

The cookies generated seem to be correct.

It creates a wordpress logged in cookie (e.g., wordpress_logged_in_f1f3…a00a)

with a path of /

It creates five wordpress cookies (e.g., wordpress_f1f3…a00a)

with the following paths

/wp-content/plugins

/wp-admin

/bbpress/my-plugins

/bbpress/bb-plugins

/bbpress/bb-admin

Since I’m setting up my site, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the programs with the same problem. Perhaps, there is a step I’m missing. Any ideas to correct this would be appreciated!

[azcs]

i just put in the new bbpress

it all works well apart from when i go into my posts i get this message

Fatal error: Class ‘BB_User’ not found in /home/a2583606/public_html/forum/bb-plugins/Gravatar/Gravatar.php on line 36

i hope that someone can help fix this, my forums website is http://www.forum.azcs.co.uk

thanks

If you have wordpress installed in the same database with wp_ as prefix, then use bb_ as prefix for bbpress, else it would conflict with wordpress.

[n8kindt]

when on the user page in the admin section i checked ‘bozos only’ and clicked filter and got this error msg:

Warning: array_intersect() [function.array-intersect]: Argument #1 is not an array in /home/gurrlieg/public_html/gurrliegirl.info/html/bbpress/bb-plugins/bozo.php on line 348

this occurred with an empty search field and the role selection box left at ‘role’

[Gautam]

As you have bbpress installed in forum directory, thats why its showing one more forum

if you have installed it in example.com, then only one forum would be shown

(though you already know this)

To fix this, you might do this (NOTE: I have not tested it, nor do I know if it might have a side effect on anything else, and this change will also be vanished when you upgrade bbpress):

Open bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php

Go to line number 711

This would be written there:

$link = bb_get_uri('forum/' . $forum->$column . $page, null, $context);

Change forum/ to category/ or anything you want.

[Marcomail]

I have installed bbpress in the folder /forum/ , so at the moment every forum pages have this url http://www.example.com/forum/forum/example-forum

do you think it’s possible delete one /forum/ from the url ?

[circulartrend]

Hm, thats what I thought. I was hoping they would have added in a plugin where users could change their own name like in 1.0 of bbPress. I think I installed that one you linked me, but it didnt do anything.

[MercedesAMG]

On clicking install it says

I use wp2.9.1 and stable bbpress 101

here is what i get

OOPS

BBpress is already installed

maybe u should upgrade

All I did was click the install button once

then went back to look at the step three settings and changed the advanced database settings to be wp_ instead of empty

everything else went according to hoyle

[johnhiler]

As I understand it, bbPress 1.0 supports “display names”… where you can have the name displayed be different from your actual username. Is that what you mean?

There’s an old plugin that lets you add display names to earlier versions of bbPress… but it requires a little hacking to get it to work:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/

Maybe you could clean it up and use it for 0.9?

Hi,

I wrote a guest blog post over on WP Tavern today about why bbPress is good for SEO:

Why bbPress Is Good For SEO

Will be interesting to see if a trackback from here shows up on the post considering that is one of the points I made about it being good for SEO.

[circulartrend]

I know, I just heard the new one allows for users to update their usernames to anything they want, as many times as they want. Some see it as a problem, but alot of users want to change their names. It was convert from pmachine to bbpress and usernames got changed.

[_ck_]

As long as it’s not my server you are crashing by using too many resources, go for it

(won’t go over so well for users on shared hosts however)

[johnhiler]

Is it urgent to upgrade to bbPress 1.0? I’m still on 0.9 – with all my plugins, I’m not really gonna consider an upgrade until early next year.

If your bbPress is working and you’re happy with how things are going, then there’s no need to upgrade!

[circulartrend]

Hey there,

Currently running 0.9.4 of BBPress and the installation was from several months ago before the new update. However I would like to avoid having to update BBpress to the new version as mine is linked with Word Press. Would there be an issue if I upgraded BBPress with WP linked with it, without updating Word Press?

Anyway, the forum was originally a different forum and alot of users lost their original usernames and it defaulted to their original username. The users want to be able to change their usernames back to what they were before without loosing all the posts linked to them. So is the only way to do that to upgrade BBPress? or go in manually and change it in the database?? There are alot of users that need their names changed.

Thanks,

Adam

[johnhiler]

Are you using bbPress 1.0? The official release only works through 0.9… but _ck_ patched it for 1.0:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-anonymous-posting/page/2/#post-2275

[chawarong]

Hi,

I’ve installed bb-anonymous-posting version 2.2 today and as soon as I activate it I’ve got:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bb_anon_get_bb_post() (previously declared in /home/tanthaic/public_html/wp/bbpress/my-plugins/bb-anonymous-posting/bb-anonymous-posting.php:21) in /home/tanthaic/public_html/wp/bbpress/my-plugins/bb-anonymous-posting/bb-anonymous-posting.php on line 24

Does anyone see this error before? I check the file bb-anonymous-posting.php, but see only one bb_anon_get_bb_post().

[jchildrose]

That seemed to be the only way I could get the integration between multiple wp installs to work without needing to login in separately to each install. Unfortunately, wpmu wasn’t an option.

I guess I will try to modify the wp-config on the other sites to allow the salts to be autogenerated on the root site and modify them on the subdomains to see if I can get the same result. That should hopefully allow me to integrate bbpress as well
