Looks like you have permalinks enabled but not configured. You can turn off permalinks in your admin (set them to none) or you can configure your server:
https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks
See this part of the plugin, you need to change the bb_add_filter and to justadd_filterandadd_action`
/******************************************************************************
* - Define for bbPress interface
*****************************************************************************/
$bbemoticons = & new bbEmoticons();
bb_add_filter('post_text', array(&$bbemoticons, 'convert_smilies'));
//bb_head is not called always. 
//bb_add_action('bb_head', array(&$bbemoticons, 'bb_grins_head'));
bb_add_action('bb_feed_head', array(&$bbemoticons, 'bb_grins_head'));
bb_add_action('bb_grins', array(&$bbemoticons, 'bb_grins'));

i like the idea ck. Why not take it one step further and allow voting to promote it to the front page, ala digg.
I want people to be able to post to the front page without any approval. Kinda a no holds bar approach.
I’m putting this under installation because it’s never been “good” on my install. Several of the links from my home page are broken. Did I do something wrong with the install? It looks like bbpress may be trying to use a string as a full pathname instead of a relative path; perhaps one too many “/” snuck in somewhere?
Thanks…

Lester Chan has written a really good plugin along these lines for WordPress:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-email/
It’s GPL, so maybe it’s something that could be adapted for bbPress?
I can see there’s no plugin like that yet, however can anybody just hint as to what backpress functions I can use in order to hardcode this myself? I’m learning the php + bbpress stuff quite fast so I’d give it a whirl with a little help.
Think it may come useful for others as well.
hey ck
that suggestion didn’t make sense to me, since as i mentioned in my last post, the errors refer to my WordPress users table, not bbPress. still, after i worked out how i could change table names without using a query, i did as you said. the result was the same errors i got in my original post.
however as i now knew how to change table names, what Chris had said earlier suggested that i should try adding the database name as a table prefix to my WP users table. i did that, and when i tried to log in, one of the errors was gone. however the other error that came up was that bbPress was now looking for my WP usermeta table. so again i added the database name as a prefix to that and i was in!
unfortunately, while i got in with admin access, i no longer had access to the settings, so i couldn’t delete the database prefix to the tables.
i’ve decided that this is becoming such a mishmash that i’m going to uninstall bbPress and reinstall it again, trying to avoid the error with the database prefix. in any case, thanks to both of you and Chris for your help, i learnt some handy things in the process!
Just upgrade from bbpress 0.8 to bbPress 1.0-alpha-2 released.
database upgrade is successful. however, found an issue about tag removal.
user can add tags, however, as an admin, if I want to remove tags, it forward to a webpage:
like:
http://www.travelsuperlink.com/forum/tag-remove.php?tag=387&user=20350&_wpnonce=15badfc986
error message is:
Your attempt to remove this tag from this topic has failed.
Please try again.
I searched in the forum and found one similar post, but no answer yet. any idea? thanks.
thanks, _ck_, I tried do_actiion, but still no luck.
as you suggested, I move this post to the thread you recommend.
as _ck_ suggested, I move my issue here:
Just upgrade bbpress to 1.0 version, after active the bbpress smilies plugin I found an issue for previous post-form.php (previously I am using v0.8 and that plugin works.
The issue is at post-form.php, in my custom template directory.
<label for=”post_content”><?php _e(‘Post:’); ?>
<?php do_action(‘bb_grins’); ?>
<textarea name=”post_content” cols=”50″ rows=”8″ id=”post_content” tabindex=”3″>
<?php bb_quote_message(); ?>
</textarea>
</label>
Clearly <?php do_action(‘bb_grins’); ?> does not work anymore, because at the top of post form user can not see the smilies as before.
any idea? thanks.
There is no bb_do_action, only do_action.
bb_do_action has been removed.
Are you talking about the plugin created in this thread:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/emoticons-for-bbpress
Why not post your question there, where it will actually be relevant?
Just upgrade bbpress to 1.0 version, after active the bbpress smilies plugin I found an issue for previous post-form.php
<?php bb_do_action(‘bb_grins’); ?> does not work anymore. in another word, at the top of post form, user can not see the smilies which they can click on to select.
any idea? thanks.
If you have a problem with a specific plugin, it is best to ask the question on the plugin’s page so the author, and other people with the same problem, can find it easily.
New bbPress users typically encounter the same problems and ask the same questions over and over again – you should review all the posts on the plugin’s page in the “extend” section for common problems/answers.
Please do not start new topics about a specific plugin in the general forum to try to grab immediate attention.
Attention Plugin Authors
If you are a plugin author, please check your plugin page periodically. Each Plugin has it’s own RSS feed which you can put into a feedreader (or Yahoo Alerts can email you when a custom feed url changes) to track new questions. If you do not intend to support your plugin any further, please let users know by either stating so in the readme.txt or posting on your plugin’s page.
Ask this on the bbSync plugin page.
You can make bbPress look like WordPress and simply be installed at /forums/ on your website. But bbPress will never be a plugin, it’s way too complex for that and has it’s own structure.
Because bbPress 1.0 uses BackPress (parts of WordPress), when WordPress starts to use the same common core, it will one day be far easier to integrate the two. But that day is at least a year away.
Bbpress is very good forum for my wordpress. But I want that it be a plugin and when I click on name of forum, it open in my wordpress theme; not on other address. Can you try to create that? Thank you.
Yah it just happened to me as well. It’s definitely a broad issue… I wonder if anyone from bbPress reads these forums regularly?
Ah neat… it kinda sounds like something that could power the Slashdot frontpage?
Yes I’ve observed the same problem.
At first I though it was db sync, since Automattic uses three different datacenters with sync’ed mysql.
But now I think instead it’s bad no-caching headers of some kind. bbPress sends nocache headers to prevent the old page from reloading after a post. It’s possible that’s been broken somehow.
One plugin that I’ve been meaning to create for quite some time is a “promote to front page” tool where admin can mark a topic for special promotion, with their own custom summary that superceeds the title and first post and replaces (or suppliments) the Latest Discussions on the front page with the list. The list could then be re-ordered even further, independent of topic time.
I think such a plugin would change how bbPress is used in a positive way. Just can’t decide how to best interface it with how topics work and how to give the admin full access to existing formatting tools and other plugins within the summaries. It would probably be mostly like Wiki Post.
Change the bbpress tables prefixs to bb_ via phpmyadmin and then fix the prefix setting in bb-config.php
Yes, what I mentioned above is the reason to cause upgrade fail. I update the user_nicename with user_loginname, which is unique key, and the upgrade goes ok.
