I installed bbpress in MySQL5. Install went fine. Now I get the following error when I go to my bbpress url:

Warning: bb_load_template(/home/greenpre/public_html/discussion/bb-templates/kakumei/front-page.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/greenpre/public_html/discussion/bb-includes/template-functions.php on line 17

Please help.

Thank you!

Why is this listed as a stylesheet in the source? It gives a 404 then includes the whole WordPress page as a stylesheet:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.audioscribbler.co.uk/oldboards/my-templates/bbpress-forum/style2.css?v=8" type="text/css" />

 

I don’t know if that has anything to do with it, but it’s not right.

Also, does the problem you’re describing happen with the stock template as well?

First, every time I go to BBpress.org I get happy because you all do amazing work.

I am struggling to set up a few different things on my forum.

The forum can be found on http://www.proveit4cash.com/bbpress

Here are the 2 things I want:

1. Post Counts for each individual (ie. Member has 150 posts) both somewhere in there profile and next to each post.

2. I need help figuring out how to set up restrictions on Forums.

I have 3 forums.

I want 1 to be open to everyone to start threads and to post.

I want 1 to be open to any member to start threads and post

I want 1 to be open to only admin to start threads and only a certain member class to reply.

i have downloaded bbpress and uploaded files to server.

on the first step, where it asks for database name, username and password, the username and password are correctly filled in already. when i manually fill in the db name “forum” i get this error:

“There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.

Please check the settings, then try again.”

I have read through the forums and not found anything that works…

.

I am trying to install on an add-on domain (www.roninbrush.com/forum) and as per other help threads I have tried reinstalling one level up, as well as on the main user domain (guysunderpressure.com). none of which worked

in another thread it said to fill in the db host with something similar to:

mysql.roninbrush.guysunderpressure.com rather than localhost.

this did not work either.

i’m sure i’ve missed something incredibly simple, but it’s beyond me. any help you could give me would be much appreciated.

also listed below are the perl and php connection strings (if that helps at all)

Perl

$dbh = DBI->connect(“DBI:mysql:guysu2_forum:localhost”,

“guysu2_bradford”,”<PASSWORD HERE>”);

PHP

$dbh=mysql_connect (“localhost”, “guysu2_bradford”,

“<PASSWORD HERE>”) or die(‘Cannot connect to the database because: ‘ . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db (“guysu2_forum”);

That won’t do anything at all for your bbPress installation I don’t think.

Just FYI everyone, I’m currently developing a site based around WP 2.6 and BB 1.0a and it’s working really well. I’m not using any plugins, but it seems to be working absolutely fine right now. I’ll share the site when it’s close to completion.

If you are building a site and don’t need to go live in the next couple of weeks, I would suggest starting your development with BBPress 1.0 alpha – it’s working well for me!

[peuter]

I installed my bbpress and all works fine, but then added a “secret key” to the config.php file after all was installed. It still works fine, but is that OK? Is my secret key doing what it is supposed to?

[chrishajer]

If you mean WordPress 2.6 and bbPress 0.9.0.2, then no, they’re not compatible. Choices seem to be:

1. Go back to WordPress 2.5.1

2. Install bbPress alpha release and take your chances

3. Wait for a new bbPress release that’s compatible

4. Live without integration

[chrishajer]

That was my point exactly. It’s just in the template, like things are in WordPress. Remove them or comment them out if you don’t need them.

[_ck_]

You can fix this if you have phpmyadmin.

Do you have it?

go into your bb_usermeta (or wp_usermeta)

and find that last administrator you made, it will look like:

bb_capabilities a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}

and just change the meta_value to

a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;},

user_id meta_key meta_value

[_ck_]

You want WordPress for that, not bbPress.

There’s no need for that in forum software.

[_ck_]

The search box is not hard coded in the core, it’s only in the template – it won’t be forced on other templates.

Just look in header.php

<?php login_form(); ?>

<div class="search">

<?php search_form(); ?>

</div>

The three “search” lines can be removed or just comment out this:

<?php // search_form(); ?>

[_ck_]

Yes, 1.0 alpha is required to integrate with WordPress 2.6

bbpress 0.9 <-> WordPress 2.5.x

bbPress 1.0 <-> WordPress 2.6.x

[_ck_]

The way I deal with fixing topicmeta is like this, though there may be other ways:

old:

if ( $topics = (array) $bbdb->get_col("SELECT topic_id FROM $bbdb->topicmeta WHERE meta_key = 'rating'") ) :

new:

if (bb_get_option('bb_db_version')>1600) {$item="object_id as topic_id"; $table="$bbdb->meta WHERE object_type='bb_topic' AND";}

else {$item="topic_id"; $table="$bbdb->topicmeta WHERE";}

if ( $topics = (array) $bbdb->get_col("SELECT $item FROM $table meta_key = 'rating'") ) :

[articles2u]

Does the 1.0 alpha allow for integration with WordPress 2.6?

[hanjra]

I have read all related scripts on the forum, but i cant login. I installed whole bbpress twice but still now success.

[hanjra]

I installed the bbpress today but whenever i try to login, i receive a blank screen and i cant login. Please help me. my forum site is http://www.pimpsymbian.com/pimpforum

[chrissydunno]

i have latest WP and latest bbPress. Looks like integration results in every bb registrant being automatically given ADMIN login role in WP. Role mapping doesn’t seem to make a difference. Is there really no solution to this other than recommended downgrading?

[chrishajer]

bbPress 0.9 is not compatible with WordPress 2.6. Read the first sticky thread for more information. If you cannot wait for a 1.0 release of bbPress, you might try the alpha release that was just packaged up, but I wouldn’t try it on a production site that you care about.

I did find a way to make it work. First install bbPress without WordPress integration. Next go to the bbPress settings and configure the WordPress Integration. Where it asks for the AUTH_SALT, copy the SECRET_SALT. Finally update bb-config.php with your wpmu specific defines.

[parthatel]

I had my WordPress installed by fantastico automatically. Therefore, the AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, and LOGGED_IN_KEY were all different. When bbPress asked me for the SECRET_KEY, I put in the key for AUTH_KEY. Now, integration didn’t work. So…I removed all bbPress tables from the database and changed all the KEYS so that they are the same. I tried installed bbPress again and it still didn’t integrate users. The installation of bbPress says that integration works, but in reality, it didn’t. What do I do now?

*By the way, my wordpress is running fine and I’m not willing to unistall it or delete its database.

[ejacobsh]

I’m having the same problem and haven’t been able to work around it. bbPress did successfully install without WordPress integration. So, now I’m trying to do the integration manually.

[flywitness]

got it working by doing this
