Did you lose the password… or did you lose admin/keymaster access after integrating?

If it’s the latter, try this plugin:

• bb latest discussions wordpress plugin now reports an error.

This was not actually true… Seems I only needed to remove the trailing slash on my bbpress URL and voila! It works fine.

• No more images… bbpress just eats the code. allow images plugin installed, and activated.

This, however, is still true. Has anyone else encountered this trouble?

Trying to determine if it’s a plugin in need of update, or if it’s an error on my part, or an actual issue in RC3

However, it looks like integration actually works (for the very first time ever!)

This remains true. So happy about that!

Just updated to RC3 with WP2.8

• No more images… bbpress just eats the code. allow images plugin installed, and activated.

• bb latest discussions wordpress plugin now reports an error.

Johnjamesjacoby could you give us some more information ? Thanks

[aditya2311]

Thanks for your reply.

I have installed WordPress 2.8. and bbpress 0.9.0.5. I have used the same database named “wordpress” for both. Please check http://bits-oasis.org/blog and http://bits-oasis.org/forum

[johnhiler]

You’re in luck (I think) – ck wrote a plugin that I believe does just that:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/counting-forums

[jfcarter]

I am using bbPress 1.0-alpha 6 and the bbpress-forum theme (same as the one used on these forums).

I have forums and subforums and have hidden the subforums on the main page, so that only the parent forums and latest topics are showing.

The challenge is that the parent forums are showing 0 topics and 0 posts, even when their subforums do have topics and posts.

How can I get the number of subforum posts and topics included in the parent forums’ count on the main page.

Thanks in advance.

See this topic for Swedish translation files: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/swedish-translation-completed-bbpress-10-rc-3

[plrk]

I have finished a Swedish translation based on a .pot file found in Subversion repository, specificially revision 438 if memory serves me right. Info in Swedish about the translation and how to install it can be found at: http://luftslott.org/2009/06/ny-svensk-oversattning-av-bbpress/

The actual translation files, both .po and .mo, cna be found at: http://dropbox.jobjorn.se/bbpress-sv_SE.zip

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

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

Good luck! Let us know how it goes…

What versions of bbPress and WordPress are you using? And what was your method for integrating the two?

[aditya2311]

I have installed both wordpress blog and bbpress forums. But on integrating them, i am facing a problem of login into my account while using firefox. Although it is working properly in other browsers. Please check http://bits-oasis.org/blog and http://bits-oasis.org/forum

Hi,

I’m involved with organising a community project which is to be launched shortly. We’re intending to create a community driven theme development project for bbPress.

We’re working out the details behind closed doors at the moment before launching the project in public. We would like to chat with Sam Bauers about the project if possible but I haven’t had any luck in finding contact details. If you are out there Sam it would be great if you could drop me a link on my contact form … http://pixopoint.com/contact/

Thanks

Hello – I have a WP blog running and I want to add BBPress forum. I have added a folder on my main site : http://www.givemebackmygame.com and it should simply be /forum to take me to the folder where all the files are uploaded.

However, I have tried and I get a 500 server error.

I have tried with the files exactly as they are d/l and I have tried doing what has to be done with WP – namely changing the bb-config-sample.php file to bb-config.php with the same information added as in the WP installation, i.e. DBName, DBUsername password.

I’m stuck – and I’ve only just started!

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Could solve my problem by adding new keys to wp & bbpress.

[Sam Bauers]

They have to be changed separately. You might be able to write a plugin for WordPress that syncs them up or even deletes the bbPress role for recreation (based on the role map) when the user next visits bbPress.

[Sam Bauers]

It should be faster, unless your forum is completely empty, then it might be slower.

may not be helping if the user is already logged in before the status was changed from Member to Blocked. I have the Online status plugin and I still see a few blocked users in there, who had logged in before their status was changed. Any info on this?

I have the database relation in bbPress set to if WP Contributor = then bbPress Blocked ; if WP Author = then bbPress Member

At times the way our site works some users in WP are moved from “Authors” to “Contributors”. Will bbPress automatically move the status of that user from “Member” to “Blocked” or will we have to manually convert the status of the user in both WP and bbPress. We though did try testing a few and found that in WP if we changed the user from ‘Author’ to ‘Contributor’, there was no change of bbPress user status (they still remained ‘Member’ though they should have ‘Blocked’)

[johnhiler]

Ah I see – you’d like to add a theme editor to bbPress?

The Theme editor is what I mentioned earlier as a huge existing potential security hole in WordPress. It seemed to be a major attack vector in the recent Bablooo spammer attack, which hit one of my sites; it allowed the virus to add spam links to existing posts. If they had wanted to, they could have easily overwritten the posts completely – or even deleted them.

I would highly encourage you to delete the theme editor file from any existing WordPress installs… at least until WordPress has diagnosed the vulnerability and if appropriate, issued a patch.

But if you feel safe behind your firewall… I suppose you could pay a developer to build a plugin which lets Adminstrators and above write to your file system using the bbPress admin. There’s definitely no existing bbPress plugin that I’m aware of! Maybe WordPress’s code could be ported…

Good luck!

[yakusha]

I installed bbpress alpha versions 5-6 mounth ago…

i updated my forums 2 mounth ago beta to rc1 or rc2

rc3 published a few days ago… ı installed directly. but my forums is slowed…

rc3 slower than rc1?

[rafff]

Why this translation can’t be in the official package version of bbPress?

A very big Thank You to everyone working on bbPress and in this forum.

Sam “The Man” Bauers (it has a ring to it, I think), any other coders behind the scenes, all of you who write such cool plugins to add great features, and those who respond to questions in this forum so promptly and in great detail. Many thanks indeed for your time, thoughts, and hard work.

I was just adding a note to a forum of mine, and realised that after a lot of hours getting it the way I want it, well, it just works. It does everything it’s supposed to, and I’ve learned tons about CSS and PHP into the bargain. This one helps new mums who’ve come to live in the UK, so in a roundabout way everyone who’s helped me has helped a mum and her baby too. Ahhh – all soft and fluffy feeling.

@johnhiler: Sorry for the confusion. I am not talking about a role permission with bbpress. I am actually talking about the Theme editor that wordpress has. That way theme modifications can be made without having to use ftp. It looks like though that I am not going to get that luxury.

[_ck_]

It’s kind of hilarious they have blocked ftp yet template upload and edits via php can completely open your system to security vulnerabilites. We’re still trying to figure it out but I have a strong suspicion of the WordPress theme-editor.php causing a large number of WordPress sites to get compromised recently:

babloo/blyat spammer attack on many WordPress blogs

The day bbPress gets a built in theme-editor, delete the file immediately.

Also delete xmlrpc.php unless you absolutely need trackbacks/pings.

And never, ever, use a dictionary word within a WordPress password as there’s no limit on login attempts.
