very strange, i have converted phpbb 305 to bbpress 0905 with just one error in users (password filed was to short)

u installed some mods or etc that affect phpbb database?

and your phpbb db is large? better to convert on localhost

[jurasiks]

Thx again, will be that support in BBPress 1.0?

[Florian]

But how do I change the corresponding links? If I just translate “topic” in the htaccess, bbpress will understand the translated urls but still generate links with the original “topic”, wouldn’t it?

[johnhiler]

Ah I see. That exact error has been reported by someone else using the latest bbPress together with Hidden forums… and they even suggested a patch to functions.bb-forums.php that they claim fixed the issue!

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/when-there-is-no-forum-to-display-warning-is-generated

Or if I’m reading this correctly, you could also create a general folder and leave it as public… so that there’s always at least one forum, and it’s never null?

[johnhiler]

There are some discussions on the subject (and links to plugins) here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/accents-in-username

Hope that helps!

Hey Chris! I guessed the url from Steve’s profile link… and was able to reproduce the issue he mentioned:

http://www.stevenmbooth.com/bbpress/

I did notice one strange thing – when I signed up for an account and clicked on profile, I got a Redirect Loop error in Firefox:

http://stevenmbooth.com/bbpress/profile.php?id=3

Things like “tags” or “topic” can be translated directly within .htaccess file, as for the “post-name” – I think there’s no way to manipulate this yet, it is being sanitized deeply within bbPress core.

[johnhiler]

Ah shouldn’t have assumed it was htaccess. This is from an earlier post:

500 Internal Server Errors are usually either related to your .htaccess file or to your file permissions:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/500-internal-server-error-1#post-13073

Here’s a number of reports from users who ran into similar issues – it was usually resolved by one of those two solutions:

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/500-error

Maybe try the permissions angle? Or if not, you could browse the 500-error tag for other possible approaches…

OH, let me check that out… thanks!!!

But thank you for your time!

Before I spend a lot of time trying to customize this, I want to know if the discussions i have with clients in bbpress (I plan to download a plugin to allow me to make a discussion hidden except for a specified user), be also logged in the client’s profile on wp?

– also can thumbnail images be uploaded into a forum post?

– has anyone tried to integrate a shopping cart or even paypal button into a profile on bbpress before?

[johnhiler]

At first blush, I’d guess that it was an issue with your htaccess file. Did you set one up?

https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

[johnhiler]

Just did some research for ya – looks like this issue can be caused sometimes by problems with htaccess files:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/243002

Is it possible that when installing bbpress, the htaccess file was changed and that caused some of these issues?

[stevebooth]

I managed to get my 1.0 bbPress installed (after having to manually edit the database), and bb-admin works just fine (or appears to), but when I browse to the bb itself, all I ever get is a 404 error. First, I’ve checked the obvious. ‘index.php’ exists in the bb root directory, and everything *seems* to be fine. Is there a log or something somewhere that tells me what it was trying to do so I can debug this?

Thanks in advance, ye BB-ers!

Steve

[daniellejosh]

I am not sure how to determine that

[johnhiler]

Hmm, maybe post the code to the part of the template where the problems are occurring? We can look for potential conflicts with bbPress code…

[daniellejosh]

Thanks, I will. It was after I installed bbPress that this started to happen…

Well, there were lots of steps. Mostly it was changes to the CSS so the first step would be to take a look at my CSS. I didn’t change any non-theme related files. The plugins I’m using are BBcode buttons toolbar, BBcode lite, bb topics view, and post Count plus. Probably the main thing I do different is that regular users shouldn’t see the admin pages of BBpress. Instead they get redirected to the wordpress admin pages.

Sambauers put a great video together on how to get wordpress and bbpress working together:

One day we’ll start a install4free like wordpress but until then,

if they just want a basic install, start giving out this free service:

http://www.simplescripts.com/script_details/script:bbPress

supposedly works on most major hosts including:

* Bluehost

* Hostmonster

* Fastdomain

* LunarPages

* HostGator

* SiteGround

* GoDaddy

* WebHostingPad

* LiquidWeb

* StartLogic

* iPowerWeb

* Dot5Hosting

* MidPhase

* 1and1

Try creating a new role with this plugin (v 1.0 compatible)

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/role-manager/

Then use this plugin to set it up so that your new role always has access to all forums:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/

That way, you don’t have to disable registration… new users won’t be able to penetrate the hidden forums, no matter what.

[indivio]

Well, yes, it goes away. B/c that whole space is used by the forums instead. Weirdly, there’s another forum running 1.0 where it works fine. It is just this one that is having the issues…

I saw this thread too – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cannot-login-hide-forum

Which had a similar issue but was then fixed…

[johnhiler]

Maybe try posting to the WordPress forums?

Unless there’s a connection to the bbPress install that I’m missing…

[daniellejosh]

WordPress address (URL) and Blog address (URL) are both set to http://iphonecustoms.com.

I fixed the “Leave a Comment” links that were linking to my forum by changing the settings in Settings>Permalinks to “default”. (It had been set to iphonecustoms.com/forums/ somehow.)

So the comments on my homepage actually work now… however on all my other pages, my “Leave a comment” links are still not doing anything. The comment links came built in with my “Black Splat” theme, and I tried to replace comment.php from original theme and still nothing happened.
