It’s weird. I had that exact thing happen to me on an alpha install, not integrated, and I thought I was going crazy seeing things. Maybe not. For me, I just restarted the browser or used another browser and registration went through fine. I have no idea what it is; it’s an esoteric bug for sure.
Hi,
Is there a way for me to easily merge Forums, topics, split topics and so forth?
I would like to merge a couple of my forums. I just imported my phpbb2 40 meg forum to bbpress. It works super! But I have so many forums and would like to merge them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Chris
I didn’t see your post.
BBPress Alpha is in its own database. All the tables appear to be there, numbering 12. This is a standalone BBPress. The only thing I have done differently is to put the hidden forums plugin in “my-plugins”, but it is not activated, nor are any other plugins like Askimet or Bozo.
Thanks for the input. I’m pretty sure I’m off in the wrong direction, I’m just trying to dig through what the WP and BB code are doing under the covers so that I have a better understanding of where this problem is coming from. It’s simply the analytical part of me wanting to understand the whole system.
As for why, I am currently calling a few bbpress functions from my wp pages.
I’m actually reviewing what I’m using now to see if I can just eliminate the use of the bbpress functions on the WP pages. I think I can probably just eliminate the need (at least for now).
That said, I still want to dig in and get to the bottom of this. It seems like there should be a really easy answer for this (btw — I don’t think it’s the 404 problem from the other thread you linked).
Thanks again for the feedback. Given I’m doing this on my own time, I may not get back to it for a while (I have funded development to finish for work). I’ll post back when I have a chance to re-review this.
I restarted Firefox 2, checked cookies which was allowed for this site, and the same problem occurred. I didn’t mention before that after I click on the Register button, my username appears in the top left of the page, again with the form as I completed it. I also tried this in IE6 with cookies allowed too. The same problem occurred.

This happened to me once before. I thought I was seeing things. In my case, it was cookies or something because when I restarted the browser and tried again, it worked fine. Can you recreate the problem in another browser?
So you have bbPress alpha in its own database, and there is just one table, the users table, or all the other tables are there as well?
Is this integrated with anything, or just a standalone bbPress installation?
Also, why are you loading bb-load.php into WordPress? Do you need to use bbPress functions inside WordPress?
To me this sounds like you are way off on the wrong track. I’ve never heard of anything like this before. I use a static front page for WordPress and have never had this problem.
Did you install bbpress and wordpress into separate folders? Is bbPress in a subfolder of WordPress?
Did you create an .htaccess for bbPress and are you using permalinks?
Is this relevant at all?

Not trying to distract you from the work you’re doing, but I’ve never heard of anyone going off in that direction before for a problem like this.
When I register (click on the Register button) there appears to be a transfer. But then when all it done, I am still on the register page with the form filled in. I would think I would get a thank you, your password will be sent to you. And yes, the two required fields are filled in properly.
I didn’t change the database table prefix from the default. This is the only table in the new database. The database says ‘bb_’, and bb.config.php says ‘bb_’. My keymaster shows up in ‘bb_users’. So if the keymaster is there, then the table prefix is not the problem. It is something else.
Are you sure you have the database table prefix correct, and you’re looking in the correct table for the new user?
The test registered name is not in my database, just the original keymaster user.
I installed the alpha on its own database. When I test register, I am not sent a password, nor password sent when I try to recover password.
So I have confirmed that this happens even if I set both bbpress and wordpress to the default themes, so it is definitely not something in the themes I’ve customized.
I really wish I could find the code where wp is determining the post ID of the home/front page as I suspect that is the best place to start trying to tackle this.
It seems to me as if search in bbPress 0.9x neither uses tags, nor uses headlines to find posts/topics.
Can anybody confirm this?
Is there an simple solution?
Viva Chile Mierda !!!
Great work, _ck_. Thanks.
Just in case this thread (and bbPress development) is still alive:
The question was: How to handle feeds with no items. Currently bbPress responds with an empty page when a feed wouldn’t contain any items.
The expected behaviour would be to respond sending a valid feed with no item entries.
The file /rss.php (see http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/rss.php) calls die() in all cases when no posts are found.
Comment out all “die()” calls and you’re fine!
I’ve set up dozens of bbpress forums, but this has got me stumped. This is a fresh install, with NO WordPress integration.
The install appears to work fine, but afterwards I cannot access the admin pages (it just redirects to the homepage). I AM a keymaster (I can see this from editing my profile). I do NOT have any .htaccess files anywhere.
I have tried everything I can think of – deleting bb-config.php, dropping all the tables, re-uploading all the files, even deleting the subdomain and database from the server and re-creating it.
This is BBPress 0.9.0.2, on Apache 2.2.9 (Linux) and PHP 5.2.6
Well that’s all for now, hope you enjoyed it.
Your feedback and ideas are encouraged.
I should note that sites that seem to be spammer operated or that I detect are infected by XSS scripts have been dropped from the list. There are currently eight sites affected by XSS and I have attemped to notify the owners (apparently without success). These infections are not from a bbPress fault but rather the overall security of their server and other software running on the site (otherwise it would be rampant).
A new feature this month is an analysis of Server and PHP software popularity. What’s interesting is how Apache use is slowly being eroded by other options. Also, PHP4 is still VERY popular (1 in 3 servers use it!)

bbPress is currently installed on at least 5,000 sites.
Here is a breakdown of bbPress forums by total posts:
Posts Count
0 - 99 3,000+
100 - 999 640
1,000 - 4,999 180
5,000 - 9,999 52
10,000 - 49,999 44
50,000 - 99,999 12
100,000 - 499,999 7
500,000 - 999,999 2
By my calculations, a bbPress forum will break a million posts by the end of this year!
