Any interest out there in a plugin that would make it possible to output bbPress content into an XML file similar to the WordPress Export so that we could move easily from one server to the next?

Sounds like you just need to logout and then log back in to WordPress once you have changed the WordPress Secret Key

You may not have a config.php file here:

http://www.obiztek.net/newbb/config.php

But you do have a config.php file one level up here:

http://www.obiztek.net/config.php

Which the installer is detecting. Move that file and you can get going with the install.

I think the most important feature for bbPress’ future will be importers / converters.

People are going to want to integrate their forums with WordPress. And those of use already running vBulletin or IPB are going to want to convert to bbPress!

I’ve installed bbPress on my development machine (a Mac Mini) where I don’t have sendmail configured (or at least configured properly). This usually causes my own scripts to fail with a message or throw warnings. In previous builds of bbPress it managed to not care about this and added new users just fine (especially upon install – it just showed me the password & moved on gracefully).

Now, in 0.9.01, I can’t install – it fails after I enter my username and first forum details. And by fails I mean my browser says it can’t connect to the server after I hit submit.

I worked around this by copying over tables from another installation of bbPress on another machine, but then I can’t add new users through the normal registration process. Fails in the same way when I submit the user.

This bug might be too specific to my own environment, but my thought is that it should at least get caught by bbPress and a nice error thrown up (even nicer would be if it just ignored this).

hi, I figured that out around the same time you commented.

Unfortunately, that addition breaks WP 2.5. I can no longer login… it says “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

… it does that anytime I try to do anything admin related.

As soon as I remove the secret-key that I added, everything is back to normal… *sigh* of course this would mean that the secret key in bbpress is no longer valid.

[lostdeviant]

my question is what happens to bbPress when I remove the key from wp-config?

[lostdeviant]

FYI – I tried creating a secret-key according to what I read which lets me finish the install of bbPress however when I try to log in to wordpress I can’t. In fact, I get a message saying that I don’t have permissions!

When I remove my invented secret key, I can login like normal…

[NeutralX2]

@lost, It is a new, optional entry for WP 2.5. You can just add it to your wp-config and pick any key you like:

define(‘SECRET_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

Anyway, 0.9.0.1 is great! Good job all!

What is the code for posting the author’s name in bbpress? I know <?php post_author_link(); ?> is the name with the link, but is there a different way to get just the name?

[lostdeviant]

I just went to add a bbpress forum to a site I upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.5. On step 2 of the bbpress install, it requests a “cookie secret key” which is supposedly in my wp-config.

I don’t see a secret key there so what am I supposed to do?

“This value must match the value of the constant named “SECRET_KEY” in your WordPress wp-config.php file. This will replace the bbPress cookie secret key set in the first step.”

WP 2.5, BBP .9.0.1 whenever I try to post or log into the bbpress admin I get the following error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/virtual/mywebsite/forums/bb-config.php:1) in /var/www/virtual/mywebsite/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 689

The posts acutally go through but the redirect seems to choke. Admin no can login.

I have checked both bb-config.php and pluggable.php for blank spaces/lines after the tags. None there. I’m mucho confused. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Chad

My wp-config doesn’t have a secret-key yet step 2 requires it.

Having done a completely new install of bbPress 0.9.0.1 (to make sure there wasn’t a problem with my existing templates / plugins), when I log in and browse to any topic page I get a javascript error on the following line in bb-includes/js/topic-js.php:

favoritesToggle[ 1 === isFav ? 'removeClass' : 'addClass' ]( 'is-not-favorite' );

Apparently favoritesToggle[....] is not a function, according to Firefox.

Apart from that, great work!

also for some reason when using the bbpress.org theme it doesn’t load correctly? any clue?

[obiztekworld]

I have tried to install new forum 0.9 but during installtion it shows the error ” 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.”

Please check out the error details at http://www.obiztek.net/newbb/bb-admin/install.php

We do not have another forum so no question of old config.php is there

okay not sure if this is the right forum category but i’ll ask here

how can i make the forum display on a wordpress page? is there an object html code or something for doing this?

ie i want the same header, footer, and sidebar as my blog, i just want the bbpress forum to show up in my content window where a normal blog post would be shown

thanks in advace

Thanks, Sam! Love the new version. I stopped using bbpress until yesterday when one of my clients needed a complicated setup. The new wp integration is so easy

[Sam Bauers]

Set up the user role map in the “WordPress Integration” section of “Settings” in the admin area of bbPress. This will apply roles for each existing member and for subsequent members who join.

[Sam Bauers]

We’ve just released a new version that fixes the log in failure occurring in upgraded installations. Version 0.9.0.1 is now available for download.

Labnol’s solution worked for me.
