Thank you for the clarification. I have now reactivated the plugin. It is indeed necessary to enter the bb-admin area, when logging in from WordPress.

[ovizii]

well, I made my siteadmin in wpmu the key master, and deleted the keymaster account I used ot isntall. now my key master is shown as inactive, if I refresh he turns back to keymaster…

do I need all the other roles? I’d have wanted to keep it simple, make all wpmu users memebrs and the site-admin key master that is all roles I need, can I ignore the others/

@sambauers: Thanks for your reply. No, i haven´t shell access. I´ll ask my hoster. Thanks! If none other users have any questions to the main topic this thread could be marked as solved.

Hmm.. upgrading……….

In the next release please also put auto update feature…. like wordpress notifies you to upgrade and then automatically upgrades in a single click….

[r-a-y]

Thanks Sam for the update and to _cK_ as well for posting just the changed files.

Question for you Sam.

Does this fix how user roles are mapped between WP and bbPress?

When a WPMU site administrator makes a forum post in bbPress, in the bbPress admin area, it shows the user as a regular member, instead of a Key Master (or whatever role you setup in bbPress’s user role map to sync up with WordPress).

The only person who seems to be a Key Master is the WP user who integrated bbPress.

Is this the way it is supposed to work currently?

I should also mention that I’m using BuddyPress, so that maybe a contributing factor.

[xiao bai]

I recommend continuing to use the plugin.

[_ck_]

Oh I totally forgot about backpress now being automatically dropped in.

I guess the changed files is not a good idea anymore.

I still recommend people install SVN as a client if they can on their server, makes life much easier.

Out with the old, in with the new.

If it wasn’t against the grain to open up a .9 legacy forum here specifically for supporting it, I’d say just do that and see who falls into it.

A majority of the audience of bbPress are people that want to be on the bleeding edge of WordPress development, and be part of a growing and maturing community. As such, people will remember .9 of bbPress as much as they remember .9 of WordPress (b2evo anyone?)

I personally think anything officially past the end of 2009 is a stretch, and is a very generous offer from Sam to not leave the early adopters on their own without patches and support.

[Sam Bauers]

Those folders are created with 0750 file permissions. If you can’t do anything with them then unless you have shell access you might have to ask your host to delete them and then you can re-create them yourself.

[John James Jacoby]

Woop woop!

_ck_, I love you, (and you are without a doubt the absolute best when it comes to plugins) but I for one am very excited to have the ability to use gravatars and voice built into the core bbPress program.

Respectfully to all, just because the ABILITY to use a new feature is built into bbPress DOES NOT force one to use it. It’s still totally up YOU. No one HAS to incorporate Gravatars or Voices into their site, but it is very cool for newbies to simply turn a core feature on or off rather than needing to download a plugin that is probably months or even a year old…praying it will work with the latest version.

Am I saying Sam should build an NES Emulator and a Weatherbug Widget into bbPress 1.2? HECK NO.

(Sam, start with the Atari emulator instead)

But things like Gravatars, (which Automattic owns) have tremendous potential use (goodbye individual avatar uploading for every single forum, hello universality). And the ABILITY to display voices makes sense to add in (being able to show the number of different people contributing to a topic certainly enhances bbPress).

Perhaps I am in the minority here, but I am hoping future versions of bbPress will continue to add these sorts of new features that make the bbPress experience more enjoyable for all users.

[Sam Bauers]

There are also changed files in BackPress which need to be copied over if you do it that way.

_ck_, I was fully aware when I upgraded, which I did first on a test install. I am glad I did. Everything works beautifully and it was worth it. All the plugins I am using are working fine. There is only this minor glitch and I thought it was clear enough that I understood you are not supporting the plugins with the new version, and that the question was not addressed to you, not to bother you. I said it’s understandable that you are not, and in no way I was expecting that you drop everything, nor I was thinking that I knew any better.

I am very grateful for the plugins you have written and that I am still using on 1.0. There is nothing wrong with asking if other testers (starting from the alpha) are also using the anonymous feature and if the display name was working for them. It’s a support forum, after all!

[Sam Bauers]

The meta bug was pure stupidity on my part. It only caused visible problems in the profile page somehow, but there you go.

Both that and the “get user by email” issue were enough to force a new release.

[_ck_]

A reminder to those using 0.9 not to upgrade to 1.0 yet as many of my plugins (and others) do not support 1.0. I will not be addressing plugin upgrades until December.

1.0.1 changes:

https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset?old_path=tags%2F1.0&old=2294&new_path=tags%2F1.0.1&new=2309

to download changed files only:

https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset?format=zip&new=2309&old=2294&new_path=tags%2F1.0.1&old_path=tags%2F1.0

The meta issue seems the most serious to me.

[Sam Bauers]

A number of issues have come up since 1.0 was released, mostly minor, but one that was found today justified a minor point release for security reasons.

bbPress 1.0.1 released

All bbPress 1.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.1

Read Only Forums has not been tested or fixed to work on bbPress 1.0 which is why you are probably having problems. If any of my plugins work on 1.0 it’s mostly luck at this point.

As far as hosting, I wrote this little bit last year:

Try deactivating bbPress Moderation Suite for a minute, I want to see if it reduces the load at all. You can see the queries count yourself if you do a “view source” in your browser and scroll to the very bottom where it says:

This page generated in 0.53 seconds, using 34 queries.

[foodadelphia]

these are the plugins i have activated:

Akismet

bbPress Moderation Suite

bbPress Polls

bbSocialize (since deactivated)

Check For Updates

Google Analitycs

Human Test for bbPress

Instant Password

New User Notification Email

PollDaddy for bbPress

Read-Only Forums

[protobuilt]

Turns out you need to properly name your bbpress directory identical to the desires url path…

ie: if you http://example.com/forums you have to upload the bbpress press directory to /ftp/path/root/forums/

This needs to be better explained.

[protobuilt]

Hi,

I installed bbpress, had to do it twice since the first time failed. The second time is installed without errors, however, if I go to the link it emailed me http://domain.com/forums/ I get a 404 error. Do I need to edit a .htaccess file or something? I’m using permalinks if that makes a difference.

Windows has a “large font” mode under the advanced display settings which turns everything into 120dpi instead of 96dpi, it makes some fonts larger. I would guess that at least 25% of the people out there use it because at high resolution the fonts are too small on most monitors.

Something is wrong though with the number of queries used on your pages, I am worried a plugin is malfunctioning under 1.0 – can you tell me what plugins you are using? Queries are how bbPress gets data from the database. Each kind of info needs a query, a user, a forum, a topic, etc. A clean install of 1.0 with some forums/topics uses probably 15-20 queries for the front page, yours is using 35 which seems excessive.

[foodadelphia]

yikes, i don’t even know what query count means, but yes i’m on a shared host from whom i’m looking to leave (they don’t provide any ssh or RoR support). I’d appreciate an explanation of query counts, _ck_, thanks, man.

as far as the fonts go, i installed ie 6 and 8 on my girlfriend’s pc running vista, i made .posts show up as 1.2em because i kinda like when the content itself grabs attention, and it didn’t look to bad (also increased line height to 1.3em), but it’s hard for me to test xp and ie. i know that macs see 72px and win sees 96px but i didn’t realize it changed it that much. should i just inherit the 1em, which is 62.5% in kakumei?

not sure where the “remember me” thing is. i’m going for the “large text, where the content is the focal point” kind of community, ala phorum (which i considered before deciding on bbpress) but if there are problems with any users i definitely want to fix em. mac w/firefox is a small market share, i know, but those are the on-the-fly-fixes.

anyway, i appreciate any and all input.

thanks again, _ck_, you lead a community of great developers.
