Looks like your host has disabled a php function (getmypid) that bbpress needs. See this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cannot-create-forum

[chrishajer]

No, do not post it here. If you like, you can email it to me as an attachment and I can check the syntax for you. You will find a way to contact me by clicking my profile, or just google chrishajer. I’m easy to find.

It’s important to not edit the file to hide passwords or keys because you could destroy valuable evidence.

Hi there

I have just installed bbPress in a new database, not integrated with WordPress. I manage to access the forum, which is located at thenokian95.com/forum, but I cannot login, it says:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/nokisat7/public_html/thenokian95.com/forum/bb-config.php:1) in /home/nokisat7/public_html/thenokian95.com/forum/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 188

My installation went successfully, and I can register users. Here is the installation log, with a changed password:

I have left bb-config.php and pluggable.php in CHMOD 755. I read other topics in this forum, and I had looked to see if there were extra whitespaces, but everything seems ok.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance

_ck_, yes, currently the plugin doesn’t handle errors if recaptcha.net is down. It’s not difficult to add, though, and I’ll do it later. However, I’m not sure what’s better: just stop registrations for the period of recaptcha.net downtime, or allow registrations without captcha (and get spammed)? Maybe even fall back to your math solution?

[_ck_]

Just out of curiosity, what happens if recaptcha.net is down or gets hit by a ddos attack? Do thousands of sites that rely on them suddenly stop being able to register people?

I need to upgrade my Human Test so it doesn’t rely on sessions and then it should be even more useful for a completely local solution.

We are using WordPress 2.3.3 and Bbpress 0.8.3.1

This sounds wonderful, and will be really helpful in driving traffic around inside our site. Thank you!

Do you guys know of a developer that might be available to do this implementation for us?

User rights is stored in usermeta not the main user tables.

You were actually the keymaster, not the admin, which is higher.

If you are user #1, try my fix admin access plugin to fix it.

OK, I’ve looked at the other thread and looked at the cookie interaction on my site and have it working. I did have to make a change to my wordpress installation to get it to work. Here is what I did:

My wordpress installation is at sacbikekitchen.org

My bbpress installation is at sacbikekitchen.org/forum/

I added the following to my /forum/bb-config.php:

$bb->cookiedomain = '.sacbikekitchen.org';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '/';

I added the following to my /wp-config.php:

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.sacbikekitchen.org');

define('COOKIEPATH', '/');

Then I made a couple additions to the wp-includes/pluggable.php file:

Around line 596 I added:

setcookie(LOGGED_IN_COOKIE, $logged_in_cookie, $expire, '/forum/', COOKIE_DOMAIN);

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, '/forum/bb-plugins', COOKIE_DOMAIN);

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, '/forum/my-plugins', COOKIE_DOMAIN);

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, '/forum/bb-admin', COOKIE_DOMAIN);

Around line 620 I added:

setcookie(LOGGED_IN_COOKIE, ' ', time() - 31536000, '/forum/', COOKIE_DOMAIN);

setcookie(AUTH_COOKIE, ' ', time() - 31536000, '/forum/bb-plugins', COOKIE_DOMAIN);

setcookie(AUTH_COOKIE, ' ', time() - 31536000, '/forum/my-plugins', COOKIE_DOMAIN);

setcookie(AUTH_COOKIE, ' ', time() - 31536000, '/forum/bb-admin', COOKIE_DOMAIN);

Hope it helps…

Hi all!

I run wordpress 2.6 at phonereport.info. I tried installing bbPress 1.0 Alpha so that it could integrate with WordPress, but just as I concluded the installation successfully, I get the following error:

‘Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/nokisat7/public_html/phonereport.info/test/bbpress/bb-config.php on line 20’

Line 20 is the following:

‘// the value of their equivalent keys in the WordPress file wp-config.php’

Here is the installation log, I changed the password:

Please let me know what else you wish to have.

There are two different databases: one for the wordpress installation, the other for bbpress.

Thank you in advance, and keep up the good work!

johnhiler: It should work with 0.9. It won’t work with some rare strange (perhaps, Windows-based) PHP configurations with 0.9 and earlier that have empty PHP_SELF variable.

[johnhiler]

Has anyone had a chance to this with bbPress v 0.9?

[jasonfrank77]

thanks guys for releas))

[Klark0]

I count the number of blogs and the number of the posts using two queries. All posts from all the other blogs are copied to blog_id 1. So i do like so

$count_posts = wp_count_posts();

echo $count_posts->publish;

and

$stats = get_sitestats();

$tmp_blog_count = number_format ($stats[ 'blogs' ] );

print "".$tmp_blog_count." blogs";

Can bbpress grab those ?

[dchest]

Thanks! Commited and tagged.

You might want to take a stab at validating the page:

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwrvna.org%2Fforum%2Ftopic.php%3Fid%3D9

It looks like there’s an unclosed div (plus a couple other minor problems that are not affecting this.) Maybe fixing that will help?

[chrishajer]

What is a “blog and post counter”?

If it’s a plugin, it might be easier to just adapt it to bbPress rather than load WPMU into the bbPress config, if that’s the only function you need.

[jonkristian]

Hm, turns out I still have trouble accessing admin panel in bbpress. Straange, I tested it with login via both bbpress and wp the last time, however now, it doesn’t seem to work.

Regarding the setup, i followed Deadpan’s setup down to the very last line, except that i kept the hash in

$bb->logged_in_cookie = ‘wordpress_logged_in_ikeptthishashin’;

[WebDev WaxLotus LLC]

@Jon: Curious. There is a difference between my setup and yours.

I have bbPress in a separate db but share the wp user tables…you?

[_ck_]

dchest don’t worry about the double submission, mdawaffe will figure it out when he gets a chance to check the requests (he does it about once a week)

You don’t have to post the whole readme in there. In fact anything you put there is only seen by mdawaffe and then it gets replaced automatically when you upload a readme.txt file.

update: well that was fast, he just added you to the svn

[glenncvance]

btw, I’m using 0.9.0.2.

[glenncvance]

This is something I’ve wanted for the forum I admin. I’ll be trying this out. Thanks.

[glenncvance]

Hello everybody – I’m having a formatting issue with bbpress and IE7. You can see an example of what my problem is here –

http://wrvna.org/forum/topic.php?id=9

In FF, naturally, everything works fine, but IE7 puts the username and status underneath/inside/within the topic post. I’m using a stripped down (even further) version of the 1col_fixed

theme.

I’ve searched the forum here and can’t find anyone else with this problem. My fear is that it’s a IE7 CSS problem….

Thanks.

[dchest]

I wrote a plugin to add reCAPTCHA to user registration page. (It’s inspired by _ck_’s Human Test.)

I’ve submitted request to add it to the plugin repository, however 1) the submission form didn’t have any feedback, so I ended up with two identical requests, 2) I didn’t realize you have to put the whole readme.txt to description field of this form. Could someone fix this, and write at least a few sentences describing the submission process?

Anyway, you can download it from http://www.codingrobots.com/files/bb-recaptcha.zip

IMPORTANT: You must get an API key from the reCAPTCHA project to use it. See readme.txt.

Tested under 1.0-alpha1, may not work with previous versions on some PHP deployments.

See how it works here: http://forum.codingrobots.com/register.php

Comments and code review are welcome!

@jonkristian and klarko:

Are you using bbPress 1.0.2a?

Jon, are you using WP2.6x? I see that klarko is using wpmu.
