It’s probably a bug when starting a topic that immediately gets flagged by akismet.

Adding a post to an existing topic will probably just come back with a missing post.

Since bbpress sets the status to “2”, it will be treated like a deleted post/topic to the end user. Moderators and Admin will see deleted post indicators.

I’m using bbPress 0.9.2. When my posters have their posts flagged as spam by Aksimet, they see the following error message:

<h1>Not Found</h1>

The requested URL /topic/ was not found on this server.

<address>Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at [domainname] Port 80</address><address>

</address>

When my users see this, they assume that their posts didn’t go through and then they re-post their message again – and then get the same error message again. They usually repeat the re-posting from 2-10 times, before giving up…

I’d greatly prefer it if these users got a nice little message that said something like, “Your post has been put into moderation. We will review it shortly!”

Is giving an error message after an Akismet positive result standard behavior for bbPress?

[Sam Bauers]

Seems there is lots of ham being incorrectly sent from bbPress as spam. This may be having a knock on effect elsewhere. I’m trying to track down the problem with these false reports from bbPress at the moment.

[braddock16]

Ok it seems the only solution to my problem would be to reinstall everything.

It’s ok since the forum have not been used yet, it’s hidden in a folder.

How can I “reset” the forum installation and reinstall bbpress?

Or maybe try and install a different forum solution. Would a different solution clash with the new database tables that have been created by bbpress?

[johnhiler]

_ck_ – I’m using your skip-akismet plugin and thank goodness! At least my authors/moderators/admins are spared this.

Akismet is going absolutely bonkers on all nine of my bbpress and WordPress installs… it just started a few days ago. I thought maybe it was connected to skip-akismet, but some of the *press installs aren’t using skip-akismet and they are still having problems!

I assume you aren’t using any of my plugins?

Because I won’t be supporting alpha 7+ this year.

Now that there are options to use bbPress 0.9 with WP 2.7

there’s no excuse to use the alphas.

Sorry about that, I will have to look at it this weekend.

What version of bbpress are you using.

What is VIP Users?

I think the recommendation is to use the Hidden Forums plugin rather than the Private Forums plugin:

[braddock16]

I have the following plugins installed:

1. Private forums:

http://www.adityanaik.com/projects/plugins/bb-private-forums/

2. Akismet

3. VIPUsers:

I downloaded this on bbpress.org somewhere.

I don’t have the bbpress signups separate from wordpress. The 2 is integrated. But you probably know that from my first post.

In wordpress every user has the option to give themselves a “nickname”. I would actually like the forum to display that….if possible.

yep exactly the same …

[Ben L.]

It’s not the template. Line 4 of post.php is <strong><?php post_author_link(); ?></strong><br />, so it should be showing the post author’s name, not email. There’s no functions.php, so it has to be a plugin.

What plugins do you have active on your bbPress installation?

[braddock16]

I don’t think it’s the template either because inside the forum area, bbpress shows that the username is the same as the email used when signing up to wordpress. that doesn’t make sense because when they signed up with wordpress they chose a real username.

[braddock16]

My WORDPRESS theme/template shows the usernames correctly.

The BBPress forum template does NOT.

The template I’m using for BBpress is the “blank 3 column

1.0 by refueled”

BBpress version 0.9.0.4

I’m using wordpress 2.6.2.

I cannot change my wordpress version under any circumstances because I have certain vital plugins that only operate under that version and it’s a paid membership site.

So what can the problem be here?

Thanks for the support so far!

[chrishajer]

Wherever the username is displayed properly – what theme is in use there? And what version of bbPress and WordPress did you integrate?

If you are seeing the username displayed incorrectly in bbPress, maybe the template author used the wrong function to display the username, or something like that.

[braddock16]

Are you talking about the wordpress template theme or bbpress?

I wouldn’t mind paying for help also.

Braddock

My bbpress forum was working just fine for about 1 year – then last week this message came up when i went to to my forum :

Oh Dear!


An invalid configuration file was found at bb-config.php
The installation cannot continue.

Usually this is caused by one of the database connection settings being incorrect.

Make sure that the specified user has appropriate permission to access the database.

I did not set this forum up originally – a previous web designer did – who i can’t get a hold of –

now i need to fix this problem and have no idea how to do it.

I hope some one out there can help me.

Thanks in advance,

K

[Hermiony]

Yay, it works!

Thanks so much!!

[Hermiony]

Ok, that sounds a bit scary so I’m just going to double check with you… (Love the Llama, I thought it was a chicken at first)

So the folder in cpanel that’s called bbpress, I change the name of it to forums? Have I got that right?

[Ben L.]

First, go into settings and change the url. Then, the folder bbpress to forums.

[Hermiony]

Hi,

I’ve installed bbpress, and my forum is now called http://www.mydomain.com/bbpress

How can I make it so that it’s called http://www.mydomain.com/forums or something similar?

Does anyone know?

[braddock16]

The latter yes. instead of braddock16 it shows braddock16@email.whatever.

I viewed user profiles in bbpress and the usernames are also the emails.

I have no idea why or what to do to fix it?

[frooyo]

I read nearly 4 months ago from Sam himself that ALPHA #7 was “weeks away” from being release.

Curious to know what the current status is on ALPHA #7.

And yes, I have already read up on: http://bbpress.org/forums/tags/10

So please don’t post that as a reply.

[bobbyh]

Sure, that’s real easy. The hard part will be figuring out what UPDATE statements to write, and then writing and running them.

You should probably take your sites offline while you run this maintenance…

[lookfab]

Thanks bobbyh. This is very helpful.

user_id and username conflicts should be managable since the number of WP users is very small.

On schema, it looks like I need to add the user_activation_key field.

> That extra index on user_nicename is the least of your problems.

So I would just add it using phpMyAdmin?
