Yes there is a caching bug in bb_location that is fixed in the newest 1.0 alphas but remains in the earlier versions. I caught the problem a month or two ago and Sam patched it.

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/999

So it’s impossible to add locations in bbPress 0.8-0.9. You have to work around it manually.

I see that you completed this, did you want to share the nl-NL.mo file?

There are about two dozen other Dutch bbPress sites but it looks like they hard-coded their template translations which is a shame.

Update:

My host was able to help.

“Due to the amount of posts contained within the treatment forum, bbpress was reaching the maximum execution limit set by PHP which in effect caused the software to stop processing the feed.”

They put in a custom php.ini to allow a longer execution time and now the RSS of the topics works fine.

I may still need a consultant some time, so the question still stands, but this crisis is averted.

I have just completed a brand new install of R2014, although the issue happens with A1.6 as well. The site works fine with with both database and cookie WordPress integration (WPMU 2.7).

When I add require_once( dirname(__FILE__) .’/../wp-blog-header.php’ ); to my bb-config.php I get the following error:

PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function hide_errors() on a non-object in /home/site/public/wp-includes/functions.php on line 345, referer: http://mydomain.com/forums/

Line 345 is $wpdb->hide_errors(); within function get_option

Obviously my BB install has not fully loaded up my WP environment. I have tried all sorts of ways to get this to work without any luck.

I even tried to build my bbPress templates by reproducing the WP functions I need but found that meant I need to re-write a huge portion WP which seems silly and a huge waste of time. Although the 8 hours I have spent trying to solve this might have built a fair bit .

Any tips on how to sort this out?

Aha… 2.7.1 and 0.9.0.4: got them integrated (light integration: logins only), using _ck_’s guide here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101

and Ann’s plugin: http://superann.com/2009/02/26/wordpress-26-27-bbpress-09-cookie-integration-plugin/

Hi. I have BBPress installed at: http://www.travelinsurancereview.net/forum/. When you click on a topic it will take you to: http://www.travelinsurancereview.net/forum/forum/buying-tips-advice-and-discussion for example.

I would like to remove the additional “forum” from the url (permalink), or at least change it to “topic” or “subject”. Can someone give me an idea of where to go with this? My first thought was to change the rewrite-rules.php, but that didn’t seem to have any effect when I uploaded it with changed values.

Hi johnhiler,

I’m actually integrating it into a website, so when users login there they’ll also be logged into bbPress so they can post there as well, I would think it’d be easy to get avatars work, but I really have no idea. I shall read the link you’ve posted!

I’ll definitely share results too.

Thanks!!

Hello,

I am trying to install bbPress in a directory of a subdomain: http://community.webzag.com/insurance. I went through all the steps of installation, and at the end it said everything was installed, then I went to the site, and it proposes me to do the installation again – nothing happened, no tables in the database got created. Do you know what might be the problem?

Thank you very much in advance!

[adeboy]

I just had a similar event. Using IE & FF that i had previously logged in to bbpress/wordpress and then logged out, i couldn’t get the registration form to work. But when i close the browser and reopen then the form works. This is with the alpha bbpress and 2.7 WP

Not sure if this is really a problem, as it stops someone repeatedly registering in the same session, but worth knowing. Thanks

[johnhiler]

You’re in luck – _ck_ just programmed a plugin to do this yesterday!

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-language-switcher/

[johnhiler]

Two things:

* Have you upgraded to the latest version of Human Test? It has new protections over earlier versions.

* There’s an alpha version of a plugin that identifies spammers who have never posted, and lets you delete them.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mass-delete-users/

Good luck!

Not sure if this has been brought up before but I am getting a huge amount of .ru and .gmail registrations,these are not being activated but are loading up my database.

Not allot of them, on average 20 to 30 every 5 or 6 days.

I have Akismet and Human Test for bbPress enabled, It is really not a big deal just annoying having to go in and delete them.

Anyone have any ideal how I can fight this.

Thanks

Chris

hi,

i’ve looked around but haven’t found a solution for a language switcher — i.e. a plugin or instructions on how to make it possible for the user to load different localizations of the bbpress. there were some threads about integrating bbpress with wordpress etc., but i am interested in a purely bbpress solution.

any tips will be greatly appreciated

I think so

I’ve translated bbPress in to the Dutch language, no problem at all. I just found a old translation file, and edited a bit. So, evry thing just works just fine

Hi, I just installed WP MU 2.7 and am trying to merge it with the latest bbpress install but have some major confusion with the config file secret keys. In new 2.7+ versions of WordPress and WPMU there is no mention of SECRET_KEY or SECRET_SALT, the config instead lists the following 7 keys:

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

define(‘AUTH_SALT’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

While the BBPRESS config only lists one key:

define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);

Which key in WPMU 2.7+ is equivalent to BB_SECRET_KEY?

Or, do i now need to define all 7 of the WordPress secret keys in bbpress as well? Eg. BB_AUTH_KEY, BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY, BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY, etc…

Any help clearing up this config confusion would be great. Thanks!

Silly question but did you rebuild the .mo file?

The po/mo on the automattic svn is very outdated and is from 0.8

Try this version which has many more stings, even thought it’s for 1.0 it might work well on 0.9

http://ayudawordpress.com/bbpress-espanol-alpha-104/

[chrishajer]

I haven’t seen an answer to that question yet. There are issues with integration and the alpha versions (and to be fair, it is alpha software which no one has recommended we use.)

[chrishajer]

What version of bbPress did you install, and which translation?

[mspecht]

I’m having the same issue it seems line 212 of functions.bb-topics.php is where things go south. I am running bbPress is 1.0-Alpha-6 and WPMU 2.7.

Effectively bbPress tries to insert an empty string into the topic_id field, which is an INT with auto increment and of course MY SQL returns in error “Incorrect integer value: ” for column ‘topic_id’ at row 1″.

Digging into the code further the defaults array is setting topic_id = false on line 151, remove topic_id from the defaults and things work fine. Looking at trac it seems this was fixed in r2014. I’m going to install and see what happens.

what am i supposed to do then?

Hi!

i am installing a bbpress forum for my website… Eveything is right but the translation to spanish its not running good. Some words are translated and some others no. I have modified the es_ES.po so to have all the english words translated to the spanish. But… some words are running and some others no… why could be that? What do i have to do so to fix it up? Do i have to touch all the theme file´s so to put each word directly to spanish or it is another way i am not seeing?… please HELP!

Thanks!

Not sure why, but it has happened before:

I run an integrated bbpress / wordpress site. It has been live for about a year. I check in at least ever 2-3 weeks or so, but infrequently based on most standards.

I tried logging into my bbpress site (cross log-in has never worked for me) using my administrator ID, and I get an error ‘user does not exist.’

I tried loggin in as other users (moderator, subscriber, etc.) and I get the same error for those as well.

I cleared cache, retried – same results.

I try logging into the WP side & can login without problem. I can get to my WP dashboard (2.5.1 btw) but not my bbpress dashboard (0.8.x – can’t recall & can’t access my dashboard).

I did try the ‘reset’ PW option from the WP side for one of my failed bbpress users. It gave me a new PW, and still not able to login to the bbpress side.

I see the database still has all of the users in wp-users, and the passwords are updating.

The last action I took ‘knowingly’ was to delete a spammer user ID from my role about 2 weeks ago. I tried logging in a couple days later & no access. I’m not saying it is correlated…

I also remember fumbling through my Yahoo domain management page, and I recall resetting the PW for one of my DB’s (but not my wp DB).

So – I’m inclined to think that I either accidentally reset an administrative PW that allows the link between BB and WP to hit the same wp-users table?

Or – something far more nefarious from my spammer friends (who seem to be the ONLY readers of my blog…thank you!).

Thanks for any input / advise. I hope to have included all the relevant info.

Im using BBpress Version 1.0-alpha-6 with WP 2.7.1.. i also have it intergrated cookies and database.
