Looks like creating a new topic results in the error message, but replying to an existing topic works fine. I tried to create a new topic and got the error, but I was able to reply to the existing topic.

I also registered at the forum, not the blog, even though there was no register link there.

Have you tried this with the default theme? Maybe something with the theme integration is causing the problem.

Akismet isn’t activated on my forum. Do I have any options?

[chrishajer]

Did you try what Trent suggested?

Also, WordPress 2.7 does not integrate with bbPress 0.9.*

[Buca]

I’m using bbPress 0.9.0.2. Yes it is integrated with my WordPress 2.7 blog. No active plugins at the moment.

Hi!

I was trying to show the latest threads when you get a bbpress 404 page.

I just copied front-page.php code into 404.php template but it didn’t show anything

Why?

[Trent Adams]

Login as a keymaster as well and check if there is anything in the akismet queue. It will show topics closed if you are logged in as a user that akismet picked up as spam sometimes.

Reading https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/71562 I can’t say are you “tag spammer” or not

[bijan23]

I wish it was mentioned in one of the steps of installation process. What can I do now to fix my WordPress?

None of the authors and administrators can login to their account. The admin area is completely inaccessible.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Actually it’s a lot easier to figure out who made the tag than you seem to think.

ID’s are set in every single tag. <li id="tag-85_71562">tags</li>

Go to https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/71562 and you’ll see that I added a tag Easy as pie to see I’m a spammer

[wiseacre]

OK let have one bad guy and one good admin. How admin can identify and fight this bad guy without PHP or SQL knowledge?

chrishajer, I will explain with your own words “The member id is recorded in the database when the tag is added, so if it’s a member doing inappropriate tagging, you can deal with them individually.”

But in other point of view bbpress admin/key master MUST know PHP & SQL because of undeleteing “deleted” topics and posts.

WordPress 2.6 does not integrate with 0.9.0.3.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101

Do NOT try to integrate WordPress 2.6 with bbPress 0.9 – only use WP 2.5.1 – the reason for this is simple – WordPress has radically changed the way cookies are used.

[chrishajer]

Are you using any plugins?

What version bbPress did you install? Is it integrated with your WordPress 2.7 installation (user logins I mean)?

[Buca]

Whenever I try to post on my bbPress forum I get the following error: This topic has been closed.

If it helps anyone my forum is http://coolmac.org/community/

All help is appreciated.

I am trying to integrate bbPress into my WP-operated website. My WordPress is 2.6. I installed bbPress “Brubeck” (version 0.9.0.3) in a subdirectory titled “forum”. I chose the integration option. I created a separate database for bbPress with separate users. Everything went well but at the end I got this message:

“>>> WordPress cookie secret key not set.

>>>>>> Your “bb-config.php” file was not writable.

>>>>>> You will need to manually define the “BB_SECRET_KEY” in your “bb-config.php” file.”

I was able to login at first but later I opened the “bb-config.php” file and entered a secret code there. Then I tried to login again but I got this message:

“Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://thepublicsphere.com/forum/bb-login.php”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.”

I tried to login to my WordPress admin but none of my user names and passwords worked. I tried to reset the passwords but the emails I receive do not contain any new password, neither the link they provide leads to any reset page.

What should I do?

[am5]

I downloaded bbPress into my wordpress directory, as I am planning on integrating bbPress into my wordpress site, and I go to http://www.mysitename/bbpress and the installer comes up. I put in what should be my database “name, user, and password” and I get the errors:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/usr/local/mysql-5.0/data/mysql.sock’ (2) in /home/content/m/y/g/mygreensprout/html/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 123

and

! There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.

Please check the settings, then try again.

Any suggestions?

[chrishajer]

That’s a very common question. You might start here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/integration

There’s no way I know of to just put a bbPress forum in a WordPress page.

[Anonymous User 1502623]

Hey, was wondering if there’s any documentation out there on integrating bbpress into your site’s design. My site is http://www.audioscribbler.co.uk – I’ve made a forum page – is there any way to just like… stick the guts in the big white space? thanks in advance

[chrishajer]

There are 2868 lines in that file. You’re missing from line 2125 to line 2868.

You might want to make sure all the files were uploaded properly to prevent unforeseen problems down the road.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Re-upload functions.bb-template.php (and probably all files in bb-includes). It sounds like they got truncated for some reason. You should never need to edit those.

[Immelody]

I believe it needs a close parenthesis at the end.

ETA: and it’ll need a ; after the ) as well..

[nextical]

I’m running WP 2.7 in my site (www.ins-ide.org) and because it, I choose BBpress Alpha and then I install the bbPress 1.0-alpha-4 into my /forum/ inside the ‘public_html’ (thought from I read, it supposed to be the easiest things to do for installing bbpress).

after I extract the ZIP file, I send all the content (via FTP) to the /forum/

Then, I opened the bb-config-sample.php & wp-config.php

I use ‘localhost’ and only matching the MySQL DB user & pass

After that went to http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/bbpress/

and copy&paste the result into my bb-config-sample.php

and DONE!

i just save it as bb-config.php

then with the Force in my mind, I opened http://www.ins-ide.org/forum

*D’oh!

I got this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting ‘)’ in /home/insideor/public_html/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 2124

with the curiosity I’m opened the functions.bb-template.php and seeing whats going on in line 2124,

well.. it is the last line and it says

Code:

function bb_profile_password_form( $id

could anyone helps me to get my forum build?

many thanks!

[Fernando Tellado]

I’ve solved it. The guilty was the plugin Forum Restriction: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-forum-restriction

[Fernando Tellado]

I’m really shocked by this problem. Today, when I’ve visited my forum several forums have disappeared. Then, I go to the admin area, add some other forum and they appear again, made some changes in order of forums and disappear again … but the forums are there: if you click in any post of the forums disappeared you can see that the forum exists 🙄

What can be happened?

I use bbPress 1.0.4, by the way, and the forum url is http://ayudawordpress.com/foro/

[chrishajer]

Do not install the 0.9.0.3 version. It won’t integrate at all with 2.7 If you don’t need integration, then use 0.9.0.3 since it’s considered stable.

[chrishajer]

The member id is recorded in the database when the tag is added, so if it’s a member doing inappropriate tagging, you can deal with them individually. Normally, regular members won’t sh*t where they eat. It’s not something I would worry about. Instead, install _ck_’s Human Test plugin to keep bots from registering right off the bat.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/

Also, I think it’s been like this for a while with tags, going back to the 0.73 release I think.
