I’ve been creating a new template to fit into my current WP install, and while doing so I noticed the new ‘Forum is Category’ checkbox in the forum management area of bb-admin. I tried it out on a few forums and noticed the different classes assigned and the ‘bb_get_forum_is_category()’ check in front-page.php of kakumei. I also noticed that you can’t post topics to forums that you check as categories.
So to get the point, is the intention here that you create forums, check them as categories, then create subforums of the category forum and theme things as you see fit with the different forum classes? Or am I misunderstanding the 1.0 implementation of categories?
ck–I can’t even get to the admin panel at this point as the install didn’t create a keymaster account.
benzilla–all my files are 777 and still the issue.
Also, I should note that I got the same error just now when I logged in to *this* site, so it seems like a software problem. I’ll check the known issues area in trac.
What we’ve come up with so far is that in in bb-load.php, there’s a loop happening when installation doesn’t complete. It could be something along the lines of what you mention, ck, in that the location is redirected. I’d change the settings but I don’t see where to do that. I’m going to see what I can do later today and I’ll be sure to post any updates.
I’m afraid I still don’t understand what you’re trying to do. You will have those other forums and sub forums, but they won’t be listed on the front page? What is the rationale? Maybe a plugin already exists to do what you want.
Maybe the Hidden Forums plugin will help you.

If the forums are not listed on the front page, how will you get to them otherwise? And if you can’t get to them, why are they there?
Hey, i try to add my own bbcode with http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/93
In BBcode-lite.php, i do that:
$simple = array('t' => 'h4','b' => 'strong', (etc)
but in my page, the source say that:
<p></p><h4>Quel statut?</h4>
so, the normal code must be:
<p><h4>Quel statut?</h4>
</p>
no?
why the formatting is not correct?
Bye
It’s not related to this is it?

All the forums set to categories? Just a SWAG.
It’s OK to start a new topic for a new problem.
To change the language, you need to make a change to the bb-config.php file, and you need to install the language files. There is an Arabic language file shared here:
check out this very nice R-t-L Arabic bbPress
To install a language file, the instructions are right in that area of bb-config.php:
// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define('BB_LANG', '');
You put the file (downloaded from Google Code) into the `bb-includes/languages/ directory. Then enter the name of the file here in between the single quotes for the BB_LANG constant. For Arabic, I think the file is ar_AR.mo, so your config line would be:
define('BB_LANG', 'ar_AR.mo');
There are more files available at that code.google.com site for an Arabic bbPress. It’s actually very nice that someone shared all their work. Looks like there is a localized version of bbPress there as well, possibly with more items translated that were not translatable with a language file.
I don’t think that’s possible, and probably something that the makers of BBpress should change. It says under settings that: “Changes do not affect users with existing roles in both WordPress and bbPress.” I’ll have to delete my user and then recreate it. Then that role will be assigned. But I don’t think it will change any existing members. Thanks again.
Hello everybody!
I’m working on a new software based on Perl. But I’m also a fan of bbpress and the plugin browser that this site has. I wanted to ask you, how I could do a similar one using bbpress. Especially the connection with SVN and the pages a plugin can have. How can I do this? Could you help me? Thx a lot!
Yes – you just need to do it for the proper user in the wp_user_meta table. Sounds like you’re getting somewhere. You need to look in the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables for your new bbPress users.
Thanks for the idea, I didn’t think of it that way. I just assumed that if I had accounts in WP then I didn’t need to create any in BBpress. Well, I tried that just now and something weird in the database. After registering a test member in BBpress I looked in the database and all I saw was the “non-existent” keymaster, the newly registered member wasn’t even in there. I looked in the WP user tables and the member was there but not in BBpress even though that’s where I registered them. This is a clean install, so there’s no plugins and editing the config file didn’t work either.
Hi fel64, how to adapt your plugin for integrate the ck’s plugin “forum last poster”: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/123 and show the exact date with the two plugins?
thanks
Are you using any plugins that could cause this? Maybe the Display Name plugin? I’ve heard that creates trouble for some people.
I’m sure there’s a way to fix this through the database. Have you created a regular member you can log in as? If so, then you just need to promote them to keymaster in the database. Try this:
Deleted Admin in WordPress- now no Keymaster in BBPress
There was this old trick too – not sure if it still works:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/no-site-keymasters?replies=6#post-909
It’s possible something in the content you were posting was not escaped properly and it caused a syntax error when bbPress tried to insert it into the database. I don’t imagine you have the text of what you were trying to post, do you? You could try posting it here and see if this errors out.
It’s possible with that old version that something was fixed in the latest release and it won’t occur here.
The first thing you do is search these forums.
Maybe you would have stumbled upon this.
Yeah, after the integration all of my members from WordPress could log in just fine into Bbpress. But the thing is that none of them can get into the admin. Only the keymaster had that access and it disappeared right after I set the cookies. I even tried setting the user roles before integrating so that my admin account would have keymaster access and it didn’t work. I’ve looked into the database and it says that the keymaster is there but when I log in it says that it’s username does not exist. Is there another way to fix this through the database?
*couldn’t edit my previous post anymore – hence the double*
Hehe, I’m mighty proud now! I figured I’d check the config-files for both installation and see whether the information was matched or not (not having any idea what so ever if that could be the problem) and I found the different security-keys wasn’t identical – so I fixed that.
Now I have commenced mapping the role-maps and everything seems to be on track again. Thanks a lot for this guide and for making the systems compatible, saved me (well probably) an immense amount of time!
Well, the installation (with full wp-integration) went as smooth as it could have, but the index.php doesn’t want to load. Not even when fully referred to in the URL (/forums/index.php).
My ftp-client sees the full installation and the content of the file seems to be ok. What settings could cause this error other than the URL actually not being valid, though I can’t figure out why that should be? 
EDIT: I found that Firefox can open and read the readme.txt and licence.txt just fine, but it wont execute the php-files properly… this is just wierd?? What the heck did I miss here?
The password normally contains special characters and that’s fine. That’s how I can usually tell if the bbPress is an old version or new version, based on the password being sent out when you register.
There is no problem with having special characters in the secret keys: it’s just that if they’re not properly escaped, the server will choke on the config file because the bb-config.php does not have proper syntax.
So, make sure the keys are the same for WordPress and bbPress, make sure the bb-config.php is syntactically correct (php -l bb-config.php from a Linux command line) and then figure out why you can’t log in.
You can also make the secret keys really short and easy to compare while testing to see if that’s the problem.
It’s also worthwhile to check any php file you edited for the proper syntax. Maybe once you log in, you are being served another page that has a syntax error (a template file?) and that is causing the blank screen.
Also, access to error logs will help with this, if you have them.
If beta is the new stable (thanks Google) then alpha is the new beta?
In a test installation (just copy all your WordPress files and database) you can’t really hurt anything. Just use it and see if it works enough for you.
I guess I’ll try then, “beta” is the new “stable” nowdays anyway, how bad could it get ^^
EDIT: wp is installed in /blog, what is the recommended path for the bbPress in that case, if any?
My advice would be to install it in a test instance and use it. See how unstable it is for yourself. Only you can make the determination if it’s ready enough for you or not.
I have a fresh installation of the latest release of WordPress and integrating it with an installation of bbPress seems to be easy enough for a non-hacker like myself.
But, how unstable is the 1.0 alpha of bbPress really? The site I’m working on is to be a soon-to-be-released homepage for a choir that will use it mainly for news, recruiting and general talk. Would you rather advice me to go for the wp 2.5.1 + bbPress 0.9 version?
