It is a standard installation, no language or mod.

I have installed WordPress on the same server but not in the same folder, is that a problem?

Im using PHP4, should I upgrade to PHP5 to make bbpress work?

The server has “PHP – Register globals” set to OFF.

*update. php5 is now installed on the server, still ampty site

That looks like a server error, probably error code 500. Hard to say since the errors are not shown in the browser. If you have access to error logs, finding the problem will be easier.

Did you try to integrate bbPress and WordPress? Are you using a different language file? Anything else modified from a standard installation?

[chrishajer]

I believe this new error has to do with translations when you try to combine WordPress and bbPress:

wordpress integrate problem when enable BBLANG

Searching these forums for streamreader turns up lots of similar error messages.

I installed bbpress today, and the installation worked out great.

After installing, I went on to log in using my new password. then came up an empty site, all white.

I then uninstalled it and deleted the db, I reinstalled it, and the same thing happened?!

I cant quite fugure out whats wrong.

Heya,

i’ve installed a wordpress plugin for avatars which is integrated into my wordpress by the following code:

<?php if(function_exists(cmd_show_avatar)) cmd_show_avatar(avatar); ?>

Is there any possibility to embed this code into my bbpress just for showing the wordpress avatar (because of saying my bbpress to require wp-blog-header in the config.php)?

[stereopoly]

Hey guys,

i’d love to integrate my bbpress ( http://www.stereopoly.de/forum ) into my wordpress ( http://www.stereopoly.de ), but when saying to fetch the wp-blog-header (even when taking an absolute link, my bbpress is completely giving up its job and says

Failed opening required ‘http://www.stereopoly.de/wp-blog-header.php’

this is what my bbpress’ config.php last lines look like:

/* Stop editing */



if ( !defined('BBPATH') )

define('BBPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );

require_once( 'http://www.stereopoly.de/wp-config.php' );

require_once( 'http://www.stereopoly.de/wp-blog-header.php' );

require_once( BBPATH . 'bb-settings.php' );



?>

can anyone please help!?

If you have access to a log file, check to see what the fatal error was, or temporarily configure your webserver to echo errors to the browser, or redirect them to a file. A fatal error can be anything: you need to know specifically what the error is to have a chance at fixing it.

Hi, iam Using bbPress with a WordPressinstallation. My WP install is in:

/blog/

and my bbPress in:

/blog/forum/

If I now log in in my WP with IE and go to the Forums all is fine. But if I do the same with FireFox I have to login again.

I’am using WordPress Plugin bbpress Integration and the WordPress Integration Plugin for bbPress. Did i made something wrong?

thanks,

Jan

Edit: If I’am logged in and go to the register.php with FireFox he mean that Iam already logged in… confusing…

Edit#2: If I log out in bbPress my Iam logged out in WP too…

[hitec7]

Nice clean dark theme.

[hitec7]

I installed your plugin _ck_ but i when i activated it din’t auto inserted the math field in my registration page. Strange so i did it my self by inserting in my register.php / bbpress theme file the function:

<?php human_registration_test(); ?>

and then it worked ok.

[Vili]

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I had already got to the stage of banging my head against the wall a few times because of this, but now it’s finally sorted out and my forums don’t throw up those nasty 404s when validating and being indexed by search engines.

Thanks, beaulebens!

[chrishajer]

Well, let’s see. Your forum is in a directory called bbpress:

http://redsunday.net/bbpress/

So line 17 in config.php should look like:

$bb->uri = 'http://redsunday.net/bbpress/';

Create a folder, call it whatever you want. Just be sure you access the URL with that folder name, and be sure line 17 has the same folder name. That’s really all there is to it.

Hi Gang

Thanks for the reply chrishajer, but the suggestion did not work I’m wondering if I’m putting things in the wrong directory? The config-sample.php file references the forum address as “http://my-cool-site.com/forums/”. I’ve tried putting the bbpress installation at the root level as well as in a folder called forums, but I still have the same problem. When I set-up the forum how should I handle line 17? Should I leave everything at the root level or should I create a new folder and put the instal there and have line 17 point there? Does an example file structure exist in a FAQ anywhere?

BTW, the style sheet and such exists, it is however not being used.

Thanks!

I found this so cool and wonder if it is ever possible with bbpress too. http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/simple-forum/

The only problem i find with that plugin is the speed. A little slow to load the forum page.

Hope to hear from all of you soon.

Hi,

iam using the Private Forums Plugin with bbPress in wich i created two Forums. The first one should be visible to all, unregisterd and registered members. The second one should be private. But if I want to set the Restriced Role from the second forum to “Registered Members” or higher, then the first forum didn’t appear to for all visitors who are under the Restriction Role setting. Do you have any ideas?

thanks,

Jan

[janellers]

Hi,

I just installed bbPress and integrated it to my WordPress Site. It’s wonderful! But i have a Problem…

I want to create a second forum, so i go to content -> forums and fill in the two forms under “Add Forum”. After clicking the Add Button I get the Error Message that i dont have the permissions to create a Forum? How could this be? I’am logged in as admin, as key master. Do you have any ideas?

thanks,

Jan

Hi there,

Anyone know how to register users using foreign characters, such as Å, Ä or Ö?

When users on my bbPress register, the name might be “mårten”, but will be added to database as “mrten” instead.

Tips anyone?

[stereopoly]

Hey guys,

I’ve almost finished installing my bbpress on http://www.stereopoly.de/forum but there’s one thing doing wrong: The permalinks. I want to use pretty permalinks, but obviously my server does not support the easy .htaccess thingy (Multi Views).. Thus I have to run http://www.stereopoly.de/forum/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php right? But if i do so, I will get to the homepage (stereopoly.de/forum)

Any idea, how to solve this problem?

sorry for my bad english, i’m just german

cheers

[tholian]

Hi

I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction to solve this. I installed the forum at http://www.redsunday.net and got the message that the instal was successful, but when I try to open the page at http://www.redsunday.net/forums/ (the URL I got via e-mail) I get a 404 error. I can open the admin page at http://www.redsunday.net/bbpress/ but nothing works. The only thing weird about the instal was that I had to change the location of the MySQL database from localhost to the name of a different server, it seems my ISP (GoDaddy) set things up a little different then most. Can anybody suggest a fix?

Thanks!

Hello, I noticed a small issue with BBPress that I have. When a topic has been super stickied it no longer shows up in its original forum. It only appears on the front page. Was this how super-stickies were intended to function? I would think that it should appear on the home page as well as within its original forum. Just a tip!

Thanks

[darkling235]

I imported the wordpress functions I need but get_the_ID() from wordpress doesn;t seem to work in bbpress. Is there a bbpress function that does the same thing? It gives you the index number of posts or comments or whatever that is currently being printed by the system

[darkling235]

Is there a normal process or formula for converting a wordpress plugin to a bbpress plugin? Let’s say that it uses all the same tables and everything? Is there a way to switch it over or do you just have to re-engineer it?

[darkling235]

Ok I get it now thanks
