Fixed my fatal call by re-uploading backpress. THAT was weird. And I show as ‘Site Admin’, jjj.
Speaking of reintroduced, I’m logged into my forum and WordPress, but for some reason I am listed as Inactive on my posts when viewing a topic. I thought this was fixed in alpha2?
Why do I get the feeling that alpha5 was bolted on top of an outdated 1.0 version and things went cross eyed?
Personally, I would start a trac ticket. They can determine there if the issue is valid or not, and how to fix it. There have been problems with the WordPress API-generated keys in bbPress before, maybe something was reintroduced.
hello..
i already recognized that there are many posts about the problems of permalinks. but nobody have the same issue. i created htaccess and tried both modes (Multiview and manual copy from bbpress). I have no wordpress installation, but guess that is no problem. My permalinks does not work.
site url: http://bauklimatik-dresden.de/forum/
but the permalinks are like this: http://bauklimatik-dresden.de/forum/forum/climatic-data
i saw a lot of posts which have instead of forum forums? however i am not able to get it work…
thanks for any help!
Not sure if this is new since alpha5 or not, but on a fresh install the auth key seems to die when there is a quotation mark " in the key.
Basically a WP key like
define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', '-"r642fed3E1d>}MdGFlh@tR!QPU%/!S_6;CjO0}^>6TclyZM9mEKqEn+ <?)3 U#*X;');
Ended up like
define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', '-');
This actually messed up the installer at one point too, displaying part of the key inside an area where it wouldn’t normally.
Should I trac this Sam?
Thanks for the fix Sam.
What’s really scary is the code it replaced.
I can’t believe what I was seeing – did they really build the $table on EACH and EVERY call instead of making it static? That’s some serious non-performance thinking.
I mean just look at it, ugh:
function htmlspecialchars_decode( $str, $quote_style = ENT_COMPAT ) {
$table = array_flip( get_html_translation_table( HTML_SPECIALCHARS, $quote_style ) );
$table = array_merge( array( ''' => "'" ), $table, array( '&' => "&", '&' => "&" ) );
return strtr( $str, $table );
on EVERY call it builds $table?
Well it’s gone now so I guess that’s what counts.
I hope the error catching routine doesn’t slow things down too much.
Personally I am waiting for PHP 5.3 to finally “upgrade” from PHP 4
It won’t be worth it until then.
I have installed it this morning, it’s working fine for me now.
Thanks to sambauers,
Weird charset (MBCS) errors for PHP 4 users are now fixed in trunk.
Thanks again for the swift response. I am somewhat familiar and comfortable with phpMyAdmin and MySQL. I’m not at all familiar with the bbPress schema, though.
I regularly backup the database anyway, but I’ll certainly make a special backup just before running any manual modifications just in case.
_ck_, thanks for the query. Could I delete all the users returned by that query? I notice there’s also a table of user meta data; could I delete those based on the IDs returned by that query as well? Again, I’m not familiar with the bbPress schema, so I don’t know if there are any dependencies or foreign keys to worry about.
Okay instead of commenting it out, do this instead
error_reporting(0);
I commented-out the error_reporting line in the “stable” 0.9 download and still get this installation error:
Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/forum/bb-includes/wp-functions.php on line 113
Can someone put together a working version of bbpress for download?
Ok. I downloaded the 1.0 alpha-5. I added the include to functions.core.php. I commented out the error message statement in bb-settings.php. I get through the first step.
But at Step 2, I get this screen:
Oh Dear!
bbpress is already installed, but appears to require an upgrade.
Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?
How do I avoid this error screen?
Okay, with 1.0-a-5 trunk I get the same old inactive user when I register via WP. No errors on the page or in the log, though.
Also I got this error, which I fixed by flipping back to the old file:
Call to undefined function wp_check_invalid_utf8() in
/home/XX/public_html/forums/bb-includes/functions.wp-core.php on line 60
Almost made it all the way through.
I added the include line to the alpha 5 download and got to step 2 before this error:
Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /home3/wifirepo/public_html/wpmatrix/forum/bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php on line 389
This is the same warning I get when trying to install 0.9.04.
To remove the warnings when using PHP 4, until Sam fixes it, go into bb-settings.php and change the error_reporting line (line 51 in 0.9.0.4 and line 29 in 1.0a5)
old:
// Modify error reporting levels
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
new:
error_reporting(0);
OK, so you can’t use the WordPress user management functions. With MySQL 4.1.* you can use subqueries. Are you comfortable making a database backup, and then are you comfortable with a tool like phpMyAdmin? I ask because I will explain how I would do it to take care of the problem one time. I wouldn’t necessarily call it the best way or the only way, just the way I would do it with things I would check beforehand.
Might as well make a backup of the bbPress database now.
Hopefully, you’ve added the Human Test plugin to prevent spam registrations.

I don’t know of a way to mass moderate users in bbPress. If you’re integrated with WordPress, I believe there is a mass edit for users available there.
If you’re not integrated, I think you need to use some SQL with the database directly. If you need that, please post the MySQL version you are using (since subqueries were added in MySQL 4.1, and the solution would be different if you’re using MySQL prior to 4.1)
I’ve been playing with the SQL to do this, but my MySQL version is 4.0.27, which does not support subqueries.
I confirmed on a 0.9.0.3 installation that this is the case. I had a topic with a tag, clicked “topics with no tags”, the topic does not show up (others do.) I deleted the tag on that topic, topic still does not show when I click “topic with no tags.” I went into the admin for the Recount, and even after recounting everything, the topic still does not show up in the view “topics with no tags.”
I upgraded the installation to 0.9.0.4 and the problem persists. I didn’t look into why it does not work as expected, but this is not what I would have expected either. (It’s like the topic is marked as having a tag, but it’s never set to “no tags” after the sole tag is removed.)

Hey Ipstenu,
The plugin you suggested seems to work after a wp-bbpress integration! thanks a lot 
In my case, I’m forcing registration and login through wp. I tried registration through bbpress before, and I think you run into a lot of problems.
The sanitize_user() function is the same in bbPress as it is in WordPress. Even the filter names are the same. Still, WordPress plugins don’t generally work in bbPress without some modification.
If it is the same function, in my opinion this feature should be in the core of both, wb and bbpress. It has no sense to allow double registrations like “John” and “john”, don’t you think so?
sbouazza: I added the include before the <?php. I’ll try as you’ve outlined.
I’m on the current trunk as of writing this post. (1903) I’ll try testing the live forum.
Edit: Using the default theme made the problem go away, but the line of code that shows the edit/delete/undelete links is exactly the same as Kakumei’s and there’s no functions.php file.
My bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php begins with :
<?php
include "functions.bp-options.php";
// Last sync [WP9916]
