You should check all the PHP files for syntax errors. Especially any file you might have modified. Did you modify a theme, install any plugins, modify the bb-config.php?
The files from bbPress are probably OK, assuming they were uploaded properly, so check anything you modified or edited.
Are you using a shared DB with WordPress and, if so, did you happen to use Fantastico or some other installer app to install it?
I’ve seen that (latin1_swedish_ci) borking recently with a weird WP install, but not with BBPress.
Hi,
I’ve just tested an upgrade of my bbPress 0.8.2.1 forum. The upgrade goes to bbPress 0.9.0.4, but after the upgrade has finished and the upgrade/installation script has asked, and been given permission, to upgrade the database, it seems like theres some problems with special characters. The forum is in danish, and therefore æ, ø and å is very common, but after the upgrade they just show up as their respective UTF8 codes. I can’t figure out, and but the header and my browser is set to UTF8.
I can tell, that the forum was and still are in UTF8, but the collation on the database tables is latin1_swedish_ci
Anyone with an idea of the problem?
Gosh, it’s 1:16 in the morning, and I just checked out rev. 1910 with and still no success with installation.
Using WP 2.7
I hope I won’t see a nightmare — my client, an old blogger, coming over to my house and torturing me for not installing his special request: bbpress.
Hey Guys,
I’m very confused with this, as I keep reading different instructions and looking at this threads, some of the links are broken! http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-avatar-upload
Can someone give me the “idiot guide” on installing a plugin to let my members load their own avatars, thank you folks!
All the best,
Cal
@eclipsenow – For now, the bbPress philosophy is to keep those 20 features in plugins and out of the core. But judging from how WordPress has grown in features over time, I’m sure bbPress 2.0 will have all 20 features in the core!
Personally, I want most of the functionality of phpbb3! If bbpress only had a “phpbb3 emulator and converter pack” I’d be won over. I just can’t be bothered installing bbpress only to have to turn around and add 20 plug ins to give it the essential features I need, like email notification on reply to post, and a million other basics. Also, WYSIWYG formatting, smilies, etc… it’s all just basic configuration stuff that users expect from a forum and I don’t know why BBpress hasn’t made a core version that automatically installs all. Could have bbpress “lite” and bbpress “full”. That’s what I’d do if I ran bbpress.
I renamed the folder to forum. Prviously it was bbpress.
@Chrishjer- Which file should I check for syntax error. Please help
Not sure where to post this comment, but I’m wondering if the functionality of having wordpress entries appearing in the forums and comments synchronizing (like bbsync plugin allows) will become a feature of an upcoming release?
WordPress needs a plugin to allow you into admin on bbPress. Just search “bbPress Integration” in the plugin search.
This page gives a 500 Server Error:
http://www.aboutonlinetips.com/bbpress/
That means there’s probably a syntax error in one of the files needed for the front page.
I’m pleased with bbpress.
Very simple forum I’ve put together here without many scripts or plugins… just keeping it simple.

The error goes away in bbpress trunk 1910 with 190 backpress but the re-mapping has no effect.
I reported here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-0904-and-10-alpha-5-released/page/3
ok, I just tried bbpress trunk 1910 with 190 backpress.
Users are still no mapped.
Whenever you go to the edit user profile page, the php error in line 2009 goes away but you can’t change the role of any user. You change the role to “memeber”, hit the update profile button and the change has no effect, the user appears again as inactive.
Hey Ipstenu, thanks for your help
Giving it a try right now
http://backpress.automattic.com/browser/trunk/includes doesn’t have the backpress folder and it’s a little confusing but I think it’s like this …
- Download this: https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1910/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip – This is your TRUNK build.
- Download this: http://backpress.automattic.com/changeset/190/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip – This is for the backpress folder
- Take the includes folder from Step #2 and rename it backpress
- Move that folder into
/bb-includes from Step #1 so you have /bb-includes/backpress
Sheesh. It’s almost easier to get SVN.
You will have to manually add BackPress files from here into a directory at bb-includes/backpress (zip link an the bottom):
http://backpress.automattic.com/browser/trunk/includes
I didn’t catch this. How do you download all these files?
BTW, what did it happen with 1.05alpha? Does it work?
how? Where? I think I have everthing setup okay, but everyones account on the bbpress side states:
Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in /home/user/public_html/forums/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 2009
This problem comes from 1.04. I have the same error whenever I want to edit an user;
Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in 
wampwwwwordpressbbpressbb-includesfunctions.bb-template.php on line 2009
In line 2008 is this code;
// Keymasters can't demote themselves
if ( ( $bb_current_id == $user->ID && $can_keep_gate ) || ( array_key_exists('keymaster', $user->capabilities) && !$can_keep_gate ) )
$roles = array( 'keymaster' => $roles['keymaster'] );
elseif ( !$can_keep_gate ) // only keymasters can promote others to keymaster status
unset($roles['keymaster']);
Had anyone had success with alpha 5 (actually r1910) cookie integration with wordpress mu 2.6?
Please create a Trac ticket. I know what is wrong here, we just need to deal with it better. http://trac.bbpress.org
When you installed bbpress, what folder did you put all the files in? Your server’s acting like nothing was uploaded to ‘forum’
I’m noticing a time discrepancy between the post time on the forums and the post time (pubdate) on the RSS feed. I have the time offset set to -6 in the bbPress settings, but it appears that the feed date is being offset by another -6 hours for a total of -12 offset from GMT.
Any ideas how to fix this?
So, the nightly builds seem to be stuck on an old version!!!
You can get the latest trunk from here (zip link at the bottom):
https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk
You will have to manually add BackPress files from here into a directory at bb-includes/backpress (zip link an the bottom):
http://backpress.automattic.com/browser/trunk/includes
Even though that error is there, if you change their role from “Inactive” to “Member” the error will go away and the user will have member access.
I can’t change any role, whenever I go to the profile page I have a php error. Maybe using phpmyadmin but this is a pain.
