It will indirectly fix the problem with page numbers.
Doesn’t actually fix the bbPress internal issue but avoids it instead. I still don’t understand why I can’t reproduce the error on my installs.
You are probably getting an internal server error because of a conflict with a rule in the root htaccess. Make sure you don’t still have the old rewrite rules in the root one. You can also post that root htaccess here for me to look at. Be sure to put it between code backticks.
I have the same exact same problem with wp 2.6.3 and bbpress 1.0-alpha, divided db but integrated login and cookie.
I guess it could be solved by making all login throgh bbpress but it’s annoying.
You need to make sure the .htaccess is in /Forums/ and not the root of the entire site. Your host’s directory structure is a little strange but I don’t think it will interfere with mod_rewrite.
There is a possibility that there is a rule in the root .htaccess that is interfering the lower .htaccess. But let’s first make sure it’s in the correct directory.
By the way:
/Forum/topic/forum-guidelines-please-read
is correct.
/Forum/forum-guidelines-please-read/
is wrong.
bbPress needs to know that the string following is a topic, otherwise it doesn’t know what to do with it (it might be a forum). /Forum/forum/forum-name is also legit.
I just moved WordPress and bbPress to a new host. Everything is working fine with both apps except I can no longer log into bbPress with my WP account and the posts using the BBpress Latest Discussions plugin are no longer displaying.
The bb-config.php file is configured correctly because the forum posts are displaying. Is there an .htaccess file elsewhere than the root that’s missing? Is it a permission issue?
Any clue what I’m missing?
Thanks,
Gio
The rewrite rules are correct to add the topic and forum in the URI. If it didn’t, bbPress would not know based on the permalink if you were talking about a topic of a forum. So, that part of it is correct. You have another issue causing the permalinks to not work for the forum. Maybe a .htaccess file one directory up?
Hmm that’s a really strange problem that I am going to have to explore a bit later.
You are using the final copy of the plugin correct?
And you didn’t modify it at all?
Even though I can’t reproduce the problem on my copies of bbPress, this may be an internal bug since I can workaround the issue by doing this (note the ?& )

ps. the best way to do pretty-permalinks is to use the .htaccess method with “rewrite” where you have to copy and paste the rules that bbPress offers here:
http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/bb-admin/Forum/rewrite-rules.php
Once you do that, then you have to turn on the option in your bb-config.php
Hi _ck_ – thanks for helping.
Here is a link from the front page to a topic:
http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic.php?id=43
I reported it working because the numbers showed up exactly how I wanted to see them, but I’m embarrassed to say that I didn’t actually “click” on the numbers at that point to be sure they actually worked correctly.
I didn’t change the plugin in any way. It does work perfectly on the other pages – the individual forum list of topics (forum.php) and the topic itself with the posts (topic.php)……I only get this error if I click on the additional page numbers on the front page.
(p.s. – I would LIKE to use pretty permalinks, but have not been able to get that working, even after reading everything I could find here on the subject and trying all of the suggestions – I’m hoping a future version of bbPress will fix this issue, but for now I’m stuck with the ugly permalinks)
I have bbPress 0.9.0.2 fully integrated with WP 2.5.1 using shared DB and tables. Everything seems to be working fine, except that when users register on bbPress they are shown as having “no role for this blog” on the WP side.
Role mapping defined in bbPress is: WP-Administrator==bb-Administrator, WP-Editor==bb-Moderator, WP-Author==bb-Member, WP-Contributor==bb-Member, WP-Subscriber==bb-Member.
I was expecting somemone who signs up to bbPress (with the default Member role) to be given Subscriber status in WP. I can see that there is an ambiguity as to which WP role should be chosen for a bbPress Member, but I guessed the one with lowest privilege, i.e. Subscriber, would apply.
Chrishajer: Thanks for helping out. I have tried clearing the cache and I’ve tried both IE7 and FF3, doesnt change anything.
Regarding the path, line 41 says:
require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);
I have tried using this instead:
require_once(‘/var/www/www.zulan.se/wp-blog-header.php’);
And then the error goes away, but as soon as I press the “Admin” link next to my login name and Log Out it just takes me back to the first bbpress page located at http://www.zulan.se/bbpress/
OK, I guess I should modify that last posting. I now have tabs off to the right called “Profile”, “Edit” and “Favorites”. I still don’t see any WordPress integration section of the bbPress admin area, however.
Zulan: this error says you have the path to the file wrong in your bb-config.php.
Warning: require_once(../wp-blog-header.php)
[function.require-once]: failed to open stream:

What path do you have listed to wp-blog-header.php on line 41 in your bb-config.php?
Core hacks would not be needed for this, just special views and filters. The same way my hidden-forums plugin works, you could make topics available or hidden based on location.
Do you really want to track at the POST level or rather the TOPIC level which would create far less data to churn through?
There is already someone using bbPress for a travel agency of sorts with dozens of destinations all linked together. Each city is like a forum in itself. I remember it well because it was very difficult to filter out the dozens of pseudo-forums from the top1000 list.
I’ve installed this on three sites so far and have the following issues:
1. I don’t have the admin setting that is in the file that comes up with the link on the integration settings page for wp. If it isn’t there how am I supposed to give the setting to bbpress? I was able to find everything else. That setting isn’t in any of the three WP-MU sites I’ve installed bbpress alpha 2 on. They’re all using 2.6.2 or 2.6.3.
2. As keymaster, I cannot undelete a thread. I just get an error saying “An unidentified error has occurred.”
3. The “new topic” link is active even when no one is logged in. This link shouldn’t appear if no one is logged in. I normally get a 404 error page when I click on it without being logged in.
4. One one site, I couldn’t start a thread. as soon as it was submitted, I was told it was deleted or moderated or something like that.
Hi,
I was wondering whether there’s a plug in which creates a new forum topic in bbPress and links to it everytime I post a new WordPress post?
This has three plus points:
-Forums are a more organized/structured system than a blog comments system
-In addition to being a comments system, users can also start their own threads
-Topics per post encourages users to join the forums/register at your site
Here’s an example of how it’s done (WP + PHPBB topics per post plugin)
http://www.alfredodehoces.com/wp2bb/
I hope there’s a WP + BBP version of that plugin.
I have the exact same problem, luckily the site isn’t online yet, but I really need wordpress 2.6.x and bbpress to work together..
Anyone know when they are planning to bring out a (more) stable version of bbpress 1?
If you have a large number of members, this is a positively guaranteed way to get your server IP banned by most major email services like gmail, hotmail, yahoo and aol.
What is your advice to send a newsletter to 10.000 bbpress forum members?
Nah, still didnt work. If I dont use require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’); I cant get to the admin page, it just redirects to the bbpress frontpage. And if I use it, I get:
Warning: require_once(../wp-blog-header.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/www.zulan.se/bbpress/bb-config.php on line 41
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear’) in /var/www/www.zulan.se/bbpress/bb-config.php on line 41
I have tried both 1.0-2 Alpha and 0.9.2
And for the modifications you are doing I would recommend 0.9.2 as it’s a stable release, and I have intergrated both database and theme into my forum without problems
By the way, this only happens on my front-page.php. When I use the pagination on my forum pages I don’t get the error……
Started new topic:

Hi there,
My bbPress forum (0.9.2) has been theme and databased intergrated, I’ve just decided to test sticky topics, and this occurs on a sticky topic:
http://www.james-blogs.com/forum/topic.php?id=3
What is this [sticky] code doing, Is this meant to be how a sticky topic is identified to someone or is broken bbcode?
Regards,
James
Sure, it’s possible with bbPress.
If you are set on modifying the bbPress core, then what I would do is download two exact copies of bbPress. Use one, then save one. You can always compare your current version to the pristine one you never touched, in the event you need to upgrade and you need to recreate your changes in the updated files.
I would say the 0.9.0.2 is pretty stable, for sure. The Alpha releases are less stable, but I haven’t had any problems with them either. I installed an old, old alpha version about 18 months ago and am still using it, but YMMV.
Maybe someone else can recommend a specific version or revision as a starting point for your project. Good luck.
I’m about ready to start integrating bbPress into my site. I plan to make extensive modifications, so much so that it would probably not resemble bbPress at all when I’m done.
This is my idea. I’m going to have 51 forums (1 for each state + DC) and then tag each forum post with latitude and longitude of the city from which the user posted. So if a user posts a message from my New York City page, it will be tagged with the longitude and latitude of New York City.
Then I would like to sort of auto generate forums for each city by using proximity searches. So say the user loads a page in Rochester, NY. I can search the NY State forum for all the posts within X miles of Rochester, NY.
I have all the MySQL latitude/longitude stuff figured out using MySQL spacial indexes.
My question is whether or not you think this is possible with bbPress, and second if I go ahead and make extensive modifications to bbPress and can not easily upgrade, is the current version stable enough to “live with” for quite awhile?
