I’ve had a look through the forum and this seems common, but my problem seems different.
The forum is there, but almost everything I click on goes to a 404 page.
I’ve tried changing the config.php back to mod rewrite = false, and I’ve tried deleting the database and starting again.
I’d be grateful for any help and advice.

Thank you.

How long does it take for Google to index your bbPress posts? Minutes, hours, days?
I think i’m going to take your advice ck and not include the call to wp in bbpress.
There’s little reason to run WP *inside* bbPress and it only makes for headaches. Running them integrated but standalone makes each of them faster and has a side benefit – one can work while the other is down for some reason.
Virtually any of the data you might want from WP can be accessed with a few creative PHP/mysql calls from bbPress. If you let me know specifically what you are trying to do, I will try to help.
Regarding incompatibilities between WP and bbP, see this:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-038-wordpress-integration#post-13713
There *are* incompatibilities right now. Things are in flux.
Still, the only thing i can think of that is causing this is some sort of incompatibility between WordPress 2.3.3 and BBpress 0.8.3.1.
I don’t think problem is with plugins, I think the problem is with the way WordPress is being called by bbPress, in both cases here. Hard to keep things straight with two people reporting problems, but since they’re the same type of problem, I think it’s good that they’re both in the same place.
dreamsofthequill: since _ck_ caught the session issue, I recalled that dotq.org also had a session in the response:

Maybe the issues are the same?
The server that Chris tested did have a few of plugins running at the time (Allow Images, Avatar Upload, Quote, Comment Quicktags) but regardless, the second test forum has no plugins and has the same errors.
As far as why i’m running wp and bbpress, thats so i don’t have to change multiple files whenever there’s an update to the header, footer, sidebar etc. and so i can use wordpress functions in sidebar to show recent posts, etc. Its one website so i’d like it to have just one set up templates.
noyz319: I would try a stock installation of bbPress without the WordPress stuff. The require_once wp-blog-header.php seems to be fouling it up.
Just out of curiosity, why are you trying to run WP at the same time (within) bbPress? I don’t just mean integration, but simultaneous loading of WP within bbPress.
It’s a massive load that should be avoided if possible.
The command line test Chris made shows a PHP session.
bbPress by iteself without plugins does not initiate PHP sessions.
So what’s causing the sessions?
On the second test site i have setup i am not using any plugins in bbpress. I think the problem might be bigger than just IE, as indicated by the command line test Chris made and also since validator.w3.org is returning a 404 every time.
You’re possibly getting 404’s only in IE because of session issues in Internet Explorer.
bbPress doesn’t use sessions by default so some other plugin must be putting them in (I have one that does and so does bb-post-views and possibly a few others).
IE is *very* picky about how sessions are done.
What plugins are you using?
Also, are you using multiviews in the .htaccess for bbPress? That could cause some issues. If so, use the real rewrite rules instead.
I have the code to work with the new field in the DB all ready and tested. To test it I just created a new column in the user table manually. Is there a way to do it automatically on install?
I.E. bbpress creates a bunch of tables and fields when it is first activated, how can I alter what tables are created and what columns they possess?
Since godaddy takes a few hours to recognize htaccess files i did the php5 thing on the hostgator hosted site (formatmag.com) instead and it’s still giving the 404 errors despite the change.
http://clutchmagonline.com/forums/phpinfo.php (running 4.3.11)
http://formatmag.com/bbpress/phpinfo.php (now running php 5.2.2)
Also, one other thing i noticed with the hostgator hosted site is when i login into the admin and click the Users link it gives me this message “You are not allowed to do this here”.
As soon as i remove the call to wp-blog-header.php then the 404’s stop and the validator sites work with the forum URLs again.
To test things further i did a fresh install of bbpress on a different server (this one hosted by hostgator) and again did the require_once wp-blog-header.php etc… and i’m getting a similar problem with these weird 404 errors. They occur much less frequently than the last forum but they are still there. And further, I just ran it through http://validator.w3.org and its giving me a 404 just like the other forum did. Here’s a link to this second test forum i just setup: http://formatmag.com/bbpress
I think this might be some sort of incompatibility between WordPress 2.3.3 and BBpress 0.8.3.1, since those are really the only similarities i can think of between these two test forums, since they are seperate domains and seperate servers and have the same problem.
I’m still getting the 404 about 95% of the time in IE. The front page of the forum usually loads, but clicking back and forth into some of the sub forums etc.. gives me a 404 pretty much every time, does this not happen for you in IE?
Not exactly sure what that command line response means, but in the forum directory there isn’t a .htaccess file, there used to be one in there when i had first tried to setup pretty permalinks, but i removed it that a few days ago when i found out bbpress + slugs + godaddy hosting does not work (which i don’t really understand but have given up on for now).
And our wordpress .htaccess file is pretty standard i think:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
A pretty large segment of our visitors use IE, so i don’t think we’ll be able to launch the forum as is with this error occuring.
kernow, i don’t think that is it, since our actual wordpress site runs just fine as do other wordpress sites in IE7, its just the bbpress forum. And i’ve tried this on a couple of computers running IE7, one with a build from yesterday and one with a slightly older build.
This would take care of the anonymous posting I think:

Not sure on the CAPTCHA.
Hi,
I need to create a board for a group of people that don’t want to bother with registration, login, lost password, etc.
So, I would allow guests to post, asking them to verify they are human with a CAPTCHA.
Can I do all the following with bbpress??
Thanks !
They DO become links automatically, unless the URL is not well formed. Then maybe bbPress can’t handle it. Why not try posting a URL here that does not work at your forum to see if it works here. I will post a URL to google here without markup and let’s see if it is made clickable:
http://www.google.com
I had installation problems when I first installed bbpress integrated with my wp and followed the instructions in this thread:
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/errors-in-installphp-line-10-and-functionsphp-line-1898
Now I can get in my forums, but NOT as administrator (at least I don’t see any admin panel) and nothing will open. Any link I click goes to a 404 error page.
I do not have my pretty permalinks on now. I DID orginally have them set to ‘slugs’m but changed that to ‘false’ after reading through the above mentioned post.
You’ll see an update on the above thread that says I couldn’t open any pagesin wo either now, but that has been resolved. Apparently when I installed bbpress, it enabled my pretty permalinks in wp? I don’t know for sure, but I found that setting in my wp admin dashboard and turned it off ~ so now my wp pages are opening again. My bbpress pages are still not, though.
When I installed, I pre-made the my-plugins and my-templates and I put the wp integration plugins in that folder ~ then I uploaded everything and ran my install.php file.
I amreally hoping to make this work because I feel like my site visitors would be mych happier being able to sign in just once to the blog and the forums on my site ~~~ and because I think I can probably create a template that follows the rest of my site. Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!

When clicking the reply button, the ‘reply’ string appears in the url, but the comment form does not appear.
When I enable pretty urls, the urls do not work. This is because I don’t have a .htaccess file, though. Why don’t I have one? I thought that bbPress creates it, like WP does.
