This should be put into TRAC

If not use for production site, but I am using WordPress 2.6.1 and want to use bbPress stable version. What can I do?
bbPress would have the same requirements of a host as WordPress. So you can check this or ask your host:
https://bbpress.org/about/requirements/
https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
If the host already runs WordPress, they can do bbPress.
Never use an alpha of any product for anything other than testing. Otherwise it’s 100% at your own risk.
bbPress 0.9 is very stable.
There are sometimes daily updates to 1.0 alpha (via the SVN of the trunk) but it will not be “finished” for many weeks.
Who is reviewing 1.0 alpha? You can’t review 1.0 alpha, it’s not finished. That’s like reviewing a car that has no interior.
I love bbpress, and am anxiously waiting for bbpress 1.0. I’d love to put up my forum now, but have heard mixed reviews on alpha 1. My question is, what is wordpress.org and bbpress.org using? The obvious answer I would think is some form of bbpress… correct?
Since I don’t want to use an ‘alpha’ launching a new site, how do I get the version that bbpress.org is using now, or what wordpress.org is using now? With the thousands of users and posts, it seems like that would be my best bet for stability.
Should I launch my site with the 9.x version or does anyone think a more stable version will be released within the next few weeks?
I’ve just installed (yesterday) the newest stable versions of WP and BBPress but am having problems with the cookie integration.
Account information is working and shared (you can login and register on with BB or WP), but being logged in/out of one does not effect the other.
My bb-config.php didn’t have a SECRET_KEY, but i’ve added one now :-
define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’,’blah-blah-blah’); // (ok not exactly blah blah blah)
and put the same (omitting BB_) in wp-config.php.
I also set the following in wp-config.php
define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘mydomain.co.uk’);
define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);
This doesn’t seem to be required in bb-config.php (? is that right ?)
bbPress is installed at mydomain.co.uk/forums
I’m not sure what i’m doing wrong, it’s probably simple, but I just seem to find lots of conflicting documentation for different versions and nothing i’ve tried seems to have worked.
Other question, will there be a conflict between mydomain.co.uk and http://www.mydomain.co.uk as I’ve set cookie_domain to omit www. but when public users will likely prepend www to the domain name.
Hi I have a forum http://peopleandlanguages.com/ I used the kakumei template and changed the image. Besides that its a pretty easy install and like bbpress. I am using the alpha 1.0 However,
I try to log out I get this: Thank you.
Database error: []

Hello,
I was wondering if you can install BBPress and a Yahoo merchant Store?
any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Kent
no i have a default install of bbpress 1.0 trunk. and yes, the javascript is not loaded, why?
No, if you have bbpress and wordpress integrated, and you are with bbPress 0.9, you should stick with WordPress 2.5 because that’s the only version that works with bbPress 0.9
There is nothing wrong with WP 2.5 and no need to upgrade to 2.6, because if you do, you’ll need bbPress 1.0 alpha which is unstable and has bugs.
Okay, carefully edit your /etc/my.cnf (ask if you don’t know how to edit) and REPLACE what’s in there with this:
[mysqld]
max_connections = 400
key_buffer = 16M
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 32M
join_buffer_size = 1M
read_buffer_size = 1M
sort_buffer_size = 2M
table_cache = 1024
thread_cache_size = 286
interactive_timeout = 25
wait_timeout = 1000
connect_timeout = 10
max_allowed_packet = 16M
max_connect_errors = 10
query_cache_limit = 1M
query_cache_size = 16M
query_cache_type = 1
tmp_table_size = 16M
skip-innodb
[mysqld_safe]
open_files_limit = 8192
[mysqldump]
quick
max_allowed_packet = 16M
[myisamchk]
key_buffer = 32M
sort_buffer = 32M
read_buffer = 16M
write_buffer = 16M
[mysqlhotcopy]
interactive-timeout
After you edit it you’ll need to restart the mysql engine by typing this in the ssh:
service mysql restart
(optionally there’s also a mysql restart in cpanel)
Then do a couple of refreshes on your bbPress pages and it should seem a bit zippier.
For now you should be okay with cpanel and whm – they do make life much easier running a server. There are things we can fine tune eventually.
However you have one HUGE problem.
You have no mysql cache enabled, at all!
When we get it fixed you will see a big difference in bbpress (and wordpress) performance.
Thanks a lot for your help _ck_, I’m doing all the changes you said… bbpress config file and super cache…
That’s what I get when I type the command:
root@node2 [~]# cat /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
skip-bdb
skip-innodb
I’m on 0.9.0.2 bbPress version…
The cookies in bbPress 1.0 and WordPress 2.6 are based on recommendations from a security whitepaper by a top researcher.
Half of the key used in the cookie is kept in the database and the other half of the key is kept in the configuration file (bb-config.php / wp-config.php)
The idea is to make it harder for an attacker to compromise the system. They may gain file access but not db access or visa versa – therefore the other half is safe.
When I say “half” it’s not literal – but essentially the secret keys are “salted” with the secret salt. “Salting” is a much more complex operation than needs to be explained here (see wikipedia).
Probably your installation is not loading the javascript libraries. Are you using WordPress’ header instead of the bbPress one?
Okay I’ve figured out why it happens.
It’s a very serious flaw in how the new 1.0 db caching system works. Apparently they now suddenly base everything about the WHERE clause. If the clause is slightly different for any two queries, it doesn’t use the cache and instead does it a direct db query. It’s stupid.
There is absolutely no way I can fix it in the plugin, it has to be fixed inside bbPress 1.0 and I am not sure if or when they will bother.
Hidden Forums has not been tested yet again 1.0 alpha.
I simply don’t have time to modify every plugin for all the changes.
This is why people should not use the alpha yet for regular sites.
Update: I’m unable to reproduce your problem however.
I have no extra queries with using Hidden Forums on the 1.0 trunk. Are you using the Alpha from the download on bbpress.org, or are you using the SVN trunk?
How well do existing themes work with the latest alpha release? And is that likely to change with the final release? I’ve made lots of modifications to my existing theme, and would hate to have to start from scratch. (Although, admittedly, I knew I was running that risk using a beta release of bbpress!)
> Do we really need the plugin for making sitemaps
> for search engines?
No
> Does it make bbPress forum more SEO friendly?
No
All the sitemap does is submit a list of URLs to a search engine. It doesn’t do anything else.
this should be default option of bbPress
bbPress Sitemap Generator 0.61
I had the plugin installed for some time and on one sunny day I couldn’t post any reply
I deactivated the plugin and everything went back to normal
Hello,
I would add to the list :
Admin Can Post Anything 0.5
Ajaxed Quote (very last 1.0 release)
bbPress Attachments 0.1.11
bbPress Sitemap Generator 0.61
Google Analitycs 0.1
Weird, it works for me. What seems to be the problem with it?
