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).

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?

[malfhok]

Try looking here: https://trac.bbpress.org/roadmap

[trex33]

Any idea when next major bbPress release will be? Will it be 1.0 or something in between? Thanks

[phaniraj01]

Figured it out by looking at the documentation. Silly me

The Trunk is broken because there`s still a lot to do and to change / integrate (wordpress functions..); so it is just normal that the bbpress trunk is not installing.. (backpress..)

use the 0.9.02 Version.. and if using wordpress trunk, remember, wordpress changed its cookies so there is a problem in logging in with bbpress if its integrated. With WordPress Final there`s no problem with integration – bbpress will sure be updated soon (i hope) to use the new logged_in cookie from wordpress.

Hi everybody

I’m finally going to do a proper BBPress forum, and integrating it with one of my sites (http://www.retrogarden.co.uk/). The forum is here (http://www.retrogarden.co.uk/forum/)

I have two small questions though:

1. How do I edit the look of the login form? At the moment it can be construed as confusing as the width of the column makes it look terrible.

2. On a topic page (http://retrogarden.co.uk/forum/topic/your-first-topic), how do I edit the look of this page? Which template is it in? I want to remove the border around the gravatar, and expand the size of the post content at the expense of the post author information

[psychoo]

Pokerlover:

Slug means URL, but I’m not sure .

You have to change the settings/premalinks option to day and name. After that you can change the “Slug” in the Page management to whatever URL you want, for example http://www.site.com/bbpress/.

After that your page links to bbpress, OK. But how you make it recognized as a “current page item” when you’re in the forums?

[rosebud]

Could it be that posts retain as metadata the forum in which they where originally posted and when you move the entire topic they do not change said metadata? If this is bbPress behaviour and I move a topic to another forum, then all the subsequent posts made under this topic (prior to me moving it) are linking (the forum_id field) to the old forum and not the new one.

Did this make any sense?

Because this turns to be a problem when using a plugin like “Hidden forums” for example. I move a hidden topic with a lot of responses to a public forum (not hidden) but only the first posts become visible to those users who can’t access the hidden forum. You have to edit the other posts so the forum_id gets updated and those posts are linked to the new forum.

[chrishajer]

I doubt it has anything to do with subversion.

What revision did you check out? I think the trunk release is probably broken (I could be wrong, but I still wouldn’t use it in production) so I would check out tags/0.9.0.2/instead of trunk:

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/tags/0.9.0.2/

[chrishajer]

To link your bbPress forum to WordPress, follow this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/link-to-forum-from-wordpress#post-15981

Create a new Page in WordPress. When you do that, the page is assigned a slug, which is basically the URL it will be accessed at. If you want http://www.example.com/forum/ , you create a new page called “Forum”. That page will appear in your WordPress navigation. Then install bbPress into a directory on your server, one directory lower than WordPress, called forum, and when someone accesses that URL, they get your forum.

They will never use the same administration pages.

[pokerlover12]

I still dont get how to link my bbpress forum from my wordpress blog?

what is slug? i have installed both bbpress and wordpress, they now use the same database but not the same administration pages…

thanks

[onekopaka]

I got to step one of the bbPress installer and I get this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_specialchars() in /Users/onekopaka/Sites/bbpress/bb-includes/wp-functions.php on line 35

Should I remove the call or do i need to find where it is defined?

I have a subversion installation of WordPress which works excellent. should i replace the wp-functions.php in bbPress with the WordPress one?

[redhousepainter]

Hey All,

Well, after a day playing around with creating my own template I’ve decided to go with an include. Any tips on including a WP header in a bbPress installation?

[chrishajer]

bbPress requires MySQL 4.0 minimum. I think 3.23 is too low:

https://bbpress.org/about/requirements/

[Göran]

I have just started a new forum at http://www.goranlindgren.se/diskussion/

I got a letter with the password with my name Göran but could not log in with, only after giving Gran as my name.

You can log in to the key master account with the following information:

Username: Göran

Password: xxxxxxxxxxxx

This is even worse than before as I think it means that if people with common swedish names register they will get log in information that not work.

Help!!!

[bramruiter]

Sorry, I don’t check this forum daily, so here’s a late answer:

1. From what I know, it has always been like this. It’s only when I perform a search.

2. The version is bbPress 0.9.0.2 and it was installed somewhere between june 26 and june 31.

3. I didn’t. I only screwed around with the template files.

4. No, they did no update or change whatsoever.

5. Like I said, it was there before the plug-ins, but here’s the list.

Private Forums, BBPress Private Messaging (not working), Post Count Plus – Dynamic.Titles & More!, Akismet, Avatar, Last-Post, Limit Latest Discussion, Bozo Users, BBcode Lite, Move It, Quote, Simple Onlinelist, Allow Images, Human Test for bbPress & Front Page Topics.

6. The second error appears only when someone perform a search. The first error is only noted in the admin area, in the first tab, beneath ‘User Registrations’.

7. Yes. It does happen.

The MySQL version is 3.23.58.

I’m not a big guy when it comes to coding/scripting, so I have no idea what these errors mean. I’m glad somebody wants to help.

I am very interested in the same question. I also use Mimbo (your implementation is very nice!) and I have just changed the footer wchih was easy. But adding the navigation bar at the top I do not know how to do. In by header.php in Mimbo I have the corresponding lines

<ul id=”nav” class=”clearfloat”>
