Sounds like several problems that are all fixable. First, I would turn off permalinks until you set them up properly:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/created-a-new-forum-but-profile-viewedit-not-working#post-24005

I would do that first so you can actually work with your forum.

Also:

1. What version bbPress did you install?
2. Did you integrate with WordPress and if so, what version?
3. Does this happen with the stock them?
4. Does this happen with no plugins enabled?
5. What server software, PHP version, MySQL version are you using?

If you can start with the permalink issue (I think) and then answer some basic questions, I think we can get it sorted without reinstalling.

Hi,

I’m looking for someone who has had a bit of experience with theming bbPress to help me port a HTML/CSS template (which I have also made into a WordPress theme) over to bbPress. It should be relatively easy seeing as the design is simple and already coded.

Please contact me at patrick.devivo [at] gmail.com if you know someone or are willing to help me out.

Is there anyway to define a custom URL structure? Specifically, I was looking to get rid of the “topic” and “forum” directories.

I found it shortly after from another topic: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hack-to-remove-forumsforum

Greetings,

I just installed BBPress today and was totally psyched because I have heard such great things about the WordPress products.

But . . . I am having major problems:

– New user testing – password doesn’t work. Login failed.

– I created forums and when I select the topic I get a “The requested document was not found on this server.” error.

– When I select a user profile (including mine) I get the same error.

– This is where it is strange and makes me think that maybe I need to reinstall the whole thing. I can’t create a new post. Nowhere does it say “Create post” on the forums.

I did install the Approve User Registration plugin by Aditya Naik, but I deactivated it and I am still having the above problems.

Thoughts?

thanks in advance,

Jeff

FYI, the if ($i <= 4) { is not needed because you already do a LIMIT on the query.

Hello,

I installed BBPress yesterday, and it’s working great. The only problem I’m having is that it won’t let me log out (when I’m using Safari)! When I click the “Log out” link, it refreshes the admin page, but I’m still logged in as admin. In Firefox, I can log out fine- it’s just in Safari that I’m having troubles.

Any ideas to log out would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Derek

I’m developing a WordPress Theme and I’d like it to work with BBPress too. My theme uses a function ( get_container(); ) to get all the information to go within the body. To change the content, within that container, for a particular page in WordPress, but leave the header, sidebars, and footer, I can reference a custom function to be added in there.

So for BBPress, I would like to do the same thing. The get_container(); function will be called and it will get the custom function defined in each BBPress template file. The problem is, is that when I do this BBPress says I’m logged out and will not allow me to login, because it can’t find the forums. Why is this? I do get the header, sidebar, and footer defined in my get_container();. But for some reason the custom function that get the BBPress forum messes the variables for the forum.

One note: I was using Private Forums for several years, and it had an occasional bug where if I saved my admin settings… the private forums would intermittently become public! I had to check the private forums every day to make sure they hadn’t been compromised…

The Hidden Forum plugin seems much more stable since I switched to it a few weeks ago, and there are no reports that I’ve seen of similar behavior:

Just a heads up!

What other plugins are you using, and what version of bbPress are you using?

Hey everyone,

I haven’t completely finished pimping my bbpress forum, though I thought id share it with you at this stage. Let me know what you guys and gals think, good or bad feedback is always good.

Look forward to your responses,

I have bbpress installed in a subdirectory (http://www.domain.com/forum), with WordPress in the root, and I’m using a Private Forums plugin (among various others) and it was all working fine until this morning, when suddenly I am unable to login. I have two accounts, but can’t log in using either of them. (I have sent an email out to find out if I am the only one with this issue or if it is more widespread).

Symptoms are that I get the login page, so I login and am immediately presented with the same screen again.

I’ve tried disabling the Private Forums plugin, which makes the discussions visible, as you would expect but I still can’t log in, and I can’t post, so I’m not logged in ‘behind the scenes’as it were.

I’ve requested a new password, but that hasn’t helped.

I haven’t integrated with WordPress, I haven’t uploaded any new bbpress plugins, or run any upgrades. I am very puzzled.

So does anyone have any suggestions as to what might have changed, or what I can do to restore functionality?

Hi,

1st of all, thanks for this screen-cast.

I have followed your screen-cast and succeeded with integrating WP 2.7.1 and BB 1.0 alpha 6 in different directories.

http://mydom.com/wp/ (WordPress)

http://mydom.com/board/ (bbPress)

My issue is that logging in and out is working fine as long as WP handles log-in and out! And not the other way when logging out from BB.

Issue 1:

When I log-in to my WP and go to BB log-in works fine, also the other way from BB to WP.

But if I log out fron BB and go back to WP – I’m logged out but the META link is not updated and WP thinks I’m still logged in (which I’m not!)

How can I make the log-out work through BB aswell.

Issue 2:

Registering through BB gives me no role inside WP!

I have bbPress integration plug-in (wp) installed and everything else is working fine! Roles are made inside BB-WP integration just like in the screen-cast.

Can someone please help!

Thanks.

When I click on this: “Subscribe to your favorites’ RSS feed.” which links to this: /forums/rss.php?profile=3

It is just a blank screen.

This just started showing after I removed a signature from my profile. No idea if they are related…

The WordPress plugins directory has improved searching now with Sphinx. See here: http://wordpress.org/development/2009/02/new-and-improved-plugins-directory-search/. Will bbPress get Sphinx too?

[suzkaw]

Thanks for the comments. I have just released v1.1 to hopefully fix the block issue:

we dropped vanilla because of lack of support. things were going out of date when wordpress was being upgraded so the integration was starting to break. we also need PMs and the system on vanilla was extremely unsecure. we’re much happier with bbpress as it’s a lot easier to customise.

With bbPress, Can you categorize people into groups? eg. investors, entrepreneurs, etc? so that you can ask questions directed at a specific group?

~Thanks in advance

[chrishajer]

Can you check your Apache access log and see what the browser User Agent is, so you can detect that and then craft some CSS specifically for that (or all) browsers?

This thread covered someone detecting mobile browsers and then serving up a different theme:

I’ve browsed the forums, but I couldn’t spot any details on the expected release date of another alpha or the beta?

[sumit1988]

ok guys i just can’t get it

i figured out, that the file where wiseacre brought me to is the pot for the Alpha 5! I found a pot file for the Alpha 6 @

1 Documentation

2 Installation

3 http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/

4 pot

5 tags

BUT: Big problem with that pot. I translated it two times and everytime i try to translate some phrases with:

“%d” e.g. “%d topic:”

then this phrase cant be translated. And after the try, the pot file is broken. i cant open it anymore and ALL TRANSLATIONS are gone. thats very very frustrating.

Problem of me or problem of this

Hey I just got:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function do_action() in /usr/local/gathera/bbpress/index.php on line 6

Apache/2.0.55 (Ubuntu) mod_jk/1.2.14 PHP/5.1.2

BBPress: version 0.9.0.4

I don’t know if it matters but, last week I installed bbpress on a server without any problems. So this week I try to install it on another server, but I just got the line above and a redirect to bb-admin/install.php. But when I click the link(“let’s get started”) I see the line above again and redirects to the same page. The only difference between the two I have noticed is that one have an WordPress Installation (I didn’t activate integration, I just ignore it).

I’m really lost. Any ideas?
