Hi CK,

SMTP mailer for BBpress is not working for me.

I have installed on the local machine the Easy Php and set up the bbpress.

I have internet connection and I used my office SMTP address and changed the file mentioned in the plugin, but still the same problem I am not able to send the mails to the users who registered.

Please look into this and help me with this problem

Hey guys,

as many topics in this forum, this is another one concerning permalinks. I have read the FAQ here: http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks and I have tried both, using Options +MultiViews and also using the code generated by /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php but I cannot seem to get my permalinks working.

http://www.mitstil.com/community is the link to my forums.

The bbpress installation will use pretty permalinks but my host calls it a 404! Please help!

Solved somehow

i`ve updated to WP 2.8 rc 1

and now it does work!

There is another SEO plugin for bbPress:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-meta-tags-or-seo-option#post-27178

It is also rough but it does a good job altogether.

There’s no secret to it. All the info you need is in these forums. You mostly need to make sure that the […] in the following:

define('AUTH_KEY'[...] matches define('BB_AUTH_KEY'[...]

define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY'[...] matches define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY'[...]

define('LOGGED_IN_KEY'[...] matches define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY'[...]

and define('NONCE_KEY'[...] matches define('BB_NONCE_KEY'[...]

between your wp-config.php and bb-config.php.

Make sure you use different table prefixes for WP and bbP.

bb-config.php shouldn’t have anything extra defined in it past that, if you had left in WP2.8. Since you downgraded to 2.7 your bb-config.php needs to have define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1); until you upgrade back to 2.8, at which point you need to remove that line again.

Your wp-config.php needs to have define('COOKIEPATH', '/wordpress/'); where ‘wordpress’ is the path to wherever you installed WP, or define('COOKIEPATH', '/'); if WP is in your site’s base folder.

Visit the WP administration settings and fill out the bbPress Integration Plugin settings (but mind what I said above, you probably shouldn’t add what it suggests adding to your wp-config.php file).

Visit the bbP administration settings and fill out the WordPress Integration settings there as well.

As I said in the posts I linked earlier, everything works fine for me with WP2.8-RC1 or any of the betas, and bbP1.0-RC1, except that if users log in from bbP, they can’t log out from WP (which seems a somewhat trivial issue since I doubt many users will need to do that).

Hope you can get it working.

peace~

This came up once before here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/install-issue-fatal-error-line-72

Is it possible you attempted to install bbPress as a plugin inside of your WordPress install?

It’s a separate program and should be installed separately…

[soupviking]

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_option() in /home/ironogre/public_html/worldsworkshop/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bb-plugins/akismet.php on line 72

What did I do wrong? I got this before Akismet was deactivated and after.

[Atsutane]

Nothing secret. My forum is on subdomain while my blog is on main domain.

All i need to do is define define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.atsutane.net'); and define('COOKIEPATH', '/'); inside wp-config.php

And if you are using Bbpress 1.0 RC1 with WP 2.7.1, you need to defind this define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1); inside bb-config.php.

Another thing is, i let bbpress handle all registration and log in/log out process.

Hope this will help you

[bzmillerboy]

Good job, I can’t even get bbPress to install within my wordpress directory so your ahead of me!

I got an error when I clicked on the only topic you have posted.

An un-related comment…I think your glare is upside down on your logo, the white should be on top, not bottom. I would recommend you glare the city and not the text…just being helpful. Site looks clean, great job!

[mattlay]

I would like to put up a bounty for anyone who can make me a converter for my Xoops 2.0.14 (CBB 3.05) forums to bbPress. If anyone is interested in doing it I will reimburse them with the stipulation that I must test it to ensure it works and it must be freely available after the bounty is closed.

Send me an email if you are interested.

Thank you.

Hi Everyone!

Just got a WordPress and BBPress integrated site working. I adapted the default theme to make it match our custom WordPress theme. Comments appreciated!

Yay – got it! I removed the ‘fix nofollow & _blank’ code, and discovered how to add the _blank in by experimenting. bbPress wraps the URL in double quotes, so I used this;

Click here to get it.

Works fine. Just got to add the nofollow bit back in, though that affects forum spidering from what one of those other posts says. Well, at least I can open external links in a new window (or tab in Chrome). Thanks for the help!

I just re-added _ck_’s code to bb-tweaks;

add_filter(‘post_text’, ‘bb_rel_nofollow’);

but it isn’t adding the rel=”nofollow”. No worries though, this is fine;

If it’s just you doing it and never a member, how about the “admin can post anything plugin”?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-can-post-anything/

[amyhello]

What’s your secret, Atsutane?

I have the blog and forums kinda working — but when you go from the blog to the forum, it doesn’t carry over the password/username. It requries you to sign in again.

[chrishajer]

So you want links that are in replied to open in a _blank window? Just certain ones, or every one automatically? This would make any link posted in a reply open in a new windows (i.e. adds target="blank" to any link)”

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/open-links-in-new-window#post-15587

[chrishajer]

Has anyone, including yourself, posted the procedure or a how to on how this was accomplished? I would say a good 50% of the currentl questions in the forum are related to integration of [WP|WPMU]/bbPress and possibly BuddyPress. If it wasn’t that difficult, there wouldn’t be so many questions. Please point me and everyone else to a definitive guide on how to pull it off, and we can resolve all these troubling integration issues.

Thank you.

[Atsutane]

I do mine perfectly with WP 2.7.1 and BBPress 1.0 RC1

[amyhello]

I read that. So did you ever get it to work?

So I downgrade my WP back to 2.7. Is there a way to do one sign in between 2.7 and BBPress 0.9.0.5 – without having to sign in again?

[johnhiler]

Sam mentioned that he might set up a codex for us to start documenting bbPress… so I thought it might be useful to round up useful links with info we could cleanup for a bbPress codex:

Sam, very interesting. Could you possibly quantify that a little more? I think it would be really helpful for folks who have growing forums and are thinking about how they will scale.

A rough user count and the infrastructure investment (servers) for each bbPress installation, for example.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

bbPress isn’t a plugin anyway. It’s a separate app.

[lukeishere]

The place I work have started using BBpress so I thought I’d give it a go on my doctor who fansite,

http://www.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/forum/

I have to say it’s really easy to use and customize (like wordpress) so thank you to everyone involved!

[John James Jacoby]

This isn’t that difficult, and there are many sites that have been doing this for months now, including my own if you excuse my defense.

Glad to see someone is taking charge of this however. Best of luck to those guys.

[wordsmithbob]

I installed the bbPress plugin and that went fine using the auto install. (I have WP 2.7) Then I activated it and got a fatal error. I tried re-installing it but now it won’t install because it’s already in the directory. All I remember about the fatal error was that it concerned Line 72 and said something about Akismet. I’m pretty clueless about this stuff. My WordPress expert is incomunicado so I’m hanging out here on my own. Any ideas?

Thanks!
