Oh, and not to mention this forum as well.
We have been running revisions which are only slightly older than 0.9.0.1 at WordPress.org and WordPress.com for a while now without fault.
0.72 is old yes. stable yes. quite fast yes.
0.9.0.1 is new and shiny but we don’t know anything about the performance. It seems fast but I wonder if anyone who runs it *live* have some real data to show for it? That would be great.
@_ck_: if you have some performance data please share. Thanks!
_ck_ might be able to give you some version performance comparisons.
0.72 is a very old version.
Seems to be broken in 0.9.0.1. Anybody else having trouble?
Can we not just give bbPress the URL of our WordPress installation, and have it make a best guess as to the location of the wp-config.php file, and then let it read all that databasey stuff out of there?
Seems like it would take a LOT fewer steps to get bbPress integrated with WordPress this way.
silent1643,
You can’t just drop bbPress onto a blog page. bbPress is a totally separate installation and you have to link to it from your blog. You have to modify the bbPress templates to make it look like your blog. If this is done well, the user doesn’t realize they are jumping between two different programs.
I’m sort of amazed that no one else has mentioned this as a potential problem. I have on average 50,000 pageviews / day.
So 50,000 pageviews / day * 35 queries / page gives 1,750,000 queries per day.
I’m at one million queries as it is today with one of my sites running bbpress, I don’t think an upgrade is an option with the above since memory consumption has started to become an issue with that installation.
The bb->load_options = true brought the load of the cpu to 5 times that of the one with 30+ queries but I guess that comes from not having that many topics in the newly installed Db so I really don’t know what to make of this.
I’m of course realizing that bbpress rocks. Totally. I wouldn’t be asking these questions if I didn’t think it was worth while pursuing so don’t take the above the wrong way but do please give me a hint as to whether or not you advice me to go with this release or to stick with the 0.72 which I’ve found to be very stable.
Any known issues with 0.9.0.1 so far? Anyone who has any reports on memory consumption? Very much appreciated.
@sam: you do marvelous work. Thanks again.
extract the zip file .. upload the extracted bbpress folder to the root of your websites location. Example: your website is located at http://www.hermiony.com, it will look like this http://www.hermiony.com/bbpress. You can, if you want, rename the bbpress folder to forums or something else. Go to http://www.hermiony.com/bbpress with you browser and the installer will guide you furter. Good luck…
Hi,
I followed the instructions and uploaded and unzipped bbpress to my server. I wasn’t sure exactly where to upload to so I put it in ‘uploads’. According to the instructions I should then be greeted by the bbpress installer at my url, but this didn’t happen. I assume I’ve uploaded it to the wrong place. Any advice?
Hi,
For some reason I can’t see at the moment, comments made on bbpress don’t show up in their respective posts in wordpress, but the comment count does reflect them. I tried deactivating all my plugins and changing the template just in case, but the problem persists.
No comments appear at all in WordPress in posts shared between forum and blog, but they appear correctly in bbpress. Older posts not in bbpress are not affected.
I’m using bbpress 0.9, last build of bbsync and WordPress 2.5. Ideas?
Thanks in advance
here is my latest theme
http://www.adityanaik.com/forums/
the site has a working integration of wp 2.5 and bb 0.9
Further to this, it happens when I change the permalinks to Pretty permalinks, name-based. Seems that change doesn’t take effect. Changing the permalinks back to None corrects the problem.
So I wrote Options +MultiViews into an .htaccess file in bbPress root directory and that fixed it.
RTFD!
I’ve installed bbPress 0.9.0.1 in a WordPress 2.5 site. It works for a while then when I try to access a topic I get:
Not Found
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.
and the theme displayed is that of the WordPress blog. After that, only the bbPress front page is useable.
@ Nosgroth
The functionality you describe is not available in bbPress/WordPress without plugins. You probably need to report this problem to the plugin author (I’m guessing bbSync).
I guess I’ll use this post.

EDIT: Ah, it’s worse than that. No comments appear at all in WordPress in posts shared between forum and blog, but they appear correctly in bbpress. Older posts not in bbpress are not affected. Sigh, my head hurts. Sleeping may be a good idea.

I am getting a 500 error now, so maybe you’re working on it? I was going to see what version bbPress and WordPress you are running.
If you have access to the database with phpMyAdmin, you can do something like this:
Create a new user in bbPress. Check your email for the password email. Save that password somewhere. Now, open phpMyAdmin and take the password hash from the new user, and paste it into the password hash field for the admin user. Now, log into bbPress with your admin username. Delete the new user if you like.
If you don’t have access to the database, then why not just reinstall?
I think you used to be able to put a line in your config.php like this: $bb->new_keymaster = true; Then run bb-admin/install.php again.

Why not move the forum to the domain where the blog is, so you can share cookies?
It was really bothering me how a page full of links was wasting so many bytes on full absolute URI’s with the domain name, etc. when all it needed was a tidy relative URL. The front page alone is 4k bigger just because of all the full URIs on the tag cloud and views, etc.
ie. http://www.bbpress.org/forums/forum/plugins
vs. /forums/forum/plugins
(multiply that by a few hundred)
So it dawned on me just now that it’s fairly easy using filters to make all the urls relative. Just for safety, we don’t kick in the relative URLs until bbPress has gotten past the header section of the template. This makes sure that redirects, stylesheets, and javascript is handled properly.
function bb_relative_uri($r) {return "/forums/"; } // change forums to your path
function bb_relative_domain($r) {return ""; }
function bb_relative() {
add_filter( 'bb_get_option_domain','bb_relative_domain',255);
add_filter( 'bb_get_option_uri','bb_relative_uri',255);
} add_action('bb_head', 'bb_relative',255);
.
In some cases, relative URLs actually makes Internet Explorer cache better so this may be helpful for subtle speedups too.
I haven’t discovered anything broken by this yet but be sure to let me know if you run into anything.
The installer will throw that error if it finds a file called config.php in either the bbPress directory or the directory above it (i.e. the parent directory that the bbPress directory is in)
Make sure there is no config.php file in either location.
All I can suggest is re-uploading the bbPress files. That function is not declared there.
Make sure that all files upload correctly, especially if you are copying them over an old installation.
I am installing an new bbpress forum and the following error happended.
‘An old config.php file has been detected in your installation. You should remove it and run the installer again. You can use the same database connection details if you do.’
How can I resolve it?
