Are permalinks meant to work with a WordPress integrated forum?

I configured my bbPress installation to use permalinks but clicking on one sends me to a 404 error page on my blog.

So I have intergrated bbpress into our website and it seems to be working pretty well. I used two plugins “private forums” and “approved registration”, which has also worked well.

A couple posters pointed out to me an issue today? The “add new topic” link pulls up the form to add a topic… but when you “send post” it gives an error message:

“This topics has been closed”

The only way for users to add a new topic is to choose the forum they want to add it to and then scroll down and use the form on the forums page. It works and with the small number of users is ok… but hopefully the number of users grow, which it will become an issue.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a fix?

Here’s the link to the bbpress on our site: http://www.ditschfitness.com/forum/

What domain is it at, and what directory did you put it in?

If your site is example.com and you made a directory called bbpress, then the intended URL is probably:

http://www.example.com/bbpress/

I thought the installer guessed and prefilled that anyway?

Hi, I’ve managed to integrate a fresh install of both WP and bbP successfully up to the point before integrating the WP header/theme.

Despite the overhead I’d like to use the method described at http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/ but when I use this method nothing happens; the forum remains looking the same.

I’m using a full URL address (i.e. http://) to call the blog header because a relative address doesn’t appear to work and I can’t seem to get the absolute address correct.

Any ideas?

I have made some progress. I took the head from WordPress and managed to get a separate head by copying to Dreamweaver and keeping only the head as can be seen on http://www.enkelwebbplats.se/dig9.html Then I took this head and pasted it into header.php in bbPress. It was partly successful as I got a forum with the content I wanted but the formating is not as I want. I had earlier a Kakumei format with only changed colors (form as in another forum I run http://www.32astolf.se/forum/).

I guess I need to change which style sheets that are used but I do not understand how to get the styles I want for the discussion in my forum from bbPress header.php.

Any help would be most welcome!

Hello

So a user posts an obnoxious comment and I mark him as a bozo. He is now listed under Users – Bozos. I can still see his comment in the forum though, so perhaps that’s because I’m logged in as a keymaster. So I log out, and the comment is still there.

Please could someone tell me how the Bozo setting works? Now that he’s marked as bozo, will it make any future posts from him ‘invisible’? Does it work by IP address or user login? How does it show him his posts, but nobody else?

Using 0.9.0.2 BBPress intergrated with WP

Thanks!

Hi I’ve got these two problems which may be related.

Login problem

I believe I followed the instructions for integrating my blog and bbpress correctly.

However if I log into my blog (which is here) I am not also logged into bbpress (which is here). If I then log into bbpress, I am logged into both.

How can I make it so that when someone logs into either they are logged into both?

Editing profiles

None of my bbpress users can edit their profiles, including me. If they change anything on their profile page and click Update Profile, nothing happens

Can anyone help me with these two problems? Are they related?

[bradstinyworld]

in wordpress to integrate digg in a posts automatically I use code like this digg_url = '<?php the_permalink() ?>'; This does not work (obviously) in in bbpress, so can anyone tell me what the equivalent of the permanlink is?

[chrishajer]

You can search the forum for dreamhost and see what other people’s experience has been, but according to this post from a year ago, it appears to work OK.

You want the Human Test plugin by _ck_:

I’ve installed 2 plugins which are 1.bbPress Attachments 2.Allow Images on my bbPress site. However, when users attached image files it shows only file name. How do I make the attached image files to be viewable on the post straight away? Please advice?

Thank you very much.

My new install of both wordpress and bbpress seems to linked successfully, as when I login, i am automatically logged in on the other.

However, logging out of one, does not log me out of the other.

Additionally, when this occurs, it is possible for me to log back in under a different account and find that each now as a different account logged in.

bbpress 0.9.0.2

wordpress 2.5.1

[chrishajer]

You can do those things with plugins.

Images:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/allow-images/

Admin can post anything (like video):

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-can-post-anything/

Attachments:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/

Look around, search the forum, you’ll probably find people have already asked about the things you’re asking about.

[chrishajer]

Depends on what you mean by embed, and how much work you consider cumbersome. I don’t think it works too well to put bbPress into an iframe in your website. But other sorts of integration work just fine. There’s nothing special (that I know of) that makes WordPress integration any different than the presentation in any other website.

[mciarlo]

I’m trying to integrate WordPress 2.5.1 and bbPress 0.9.0.2.

I have matched SECRET_KEY in wp-config.php with BB_SECRET_KEY in bb-config.php and matched WordPress “secret” database option with bbPress “secret” database setting.

I have also setup compatible cookie domains and paths in config files and mapped user roles.

The only thing I haven’t done is share user tables because it isn’t required and my bbPress database is separate.

I am still having problems integrating. When a user registers on bbPress, they are not registered in WordPress.

The site is http://www.cheshirecrossingii.com. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the end, is it possible to embed bbpress within any web site? i mean is it cumbersome?

[bobbyh]

To quote chrishajer, your best bet will probably be to convert to phpbb and then from there to bbpress.

[bramruiter]

It indeed was aMySQL issue. It’s been solved now.

[bramruiter]

Ah, I thought it was something like that. I’ve just ordered a new hosting, which works on MySQL 5.

Thanks for the help.

Adding only

Options +MultiViews

in my .htaccess in the root of my directory where I installed bbpress did the trick. It was like magic!

[chrishajer]

This is an old post, but the concept still applies:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/title-tags#post-9045

bb_title is the function you need to override with a plugin, such as this one. To see what bb_title and bb_get_title do, take a look at bb-includes/template-functions.php starting around line 305 (in version 0.9.0.2).

[trex33]

much obliged malfhok!

[pftaylor]

There still appears to be no answer to this problem. I would very much like to use BBPress, but it will not be possible, until categories are included. I wish I was better at php.

[pftaylor]

The question was actually meant to be about categories. How are they to be added to BBPress? This is a pretty standard feature for forum applications. Why does it not appear to be available in v0.9, or am I looking in the wrong place?
