When I attempt to the install.php phase, the config.php file text loads onto the browser finalized with this error message:
Fatal error: Class bb_walker_forumadminlistitems: Cannot inherit from undefined class bb_walker in /home/cust2/user1080446/html/bbpress/bb-admin/admin-functions.php on line 582
I’ve monkeyed around with it for a while now and I’m not getting anywhere.
Thanks
(which if I remember from my signatures plugin has no action hook unfortunately and templates will need to be edited)
No, there’s been hooks for the post form for as long as I can remember.
pre_post_formpost_formpost_post_form
Charlie: ticking off boxes because other software ticks those boxes is feature creep. Goes against, as you say, what bbpress is about. And even if it didn’t, it makes no sense; feature ideas should be evaluated on their own merits. I’m not saying attachments shouldn’t make it in (personally, I don’t much like file attachments), but that you can make a much much better case for it than saying that it’s a square on the Forum Matrix that bbpress doesn’t have.
I can’t speak for the world at large, but I think that many people might be passing up a great product (bbpress) because they are looking for forum software with a few more “essential” features. A great number of other forum packages on the ForumMatrix offer multiple file attachments, and while I agree with the developer’s dream of keeping this thing nice and lite and agile, I think anytime a red X on the ForumMatrix is eliminated, it increases the overall appeal of bbpress to the forum dev community.
HowToGeek, I don’t know how much use I’d be to you as a coder, but I’m willing to do whatever I can to help you start a plugin like this.
I’m running the plugins listed below. However, even after deactivating every other plugin, the duplication issue with bbSync is still occurring.
Akismet 2.1.3
All in One Adsense and YPN 1.5
bbPress Integration 0.74
bbSync 0.94
Collapsible Archive Widget 2.1.2
dTabs 1.1
TubePress 1.5.7
Ultimate Google Analytics 1.6.0
wp-forecast 1.4
It’s fairly easy to test loading/decoding times using firefox+fasterfox or firebug but there are plenty of studies around the web if you want nitty-gritty details:
a quick search:

jquery with simple whitespace removal and variable name shrinking, *not* actual compression, sent via a server with proper gzip support (mod_gzip, apache2, litespeed, etc) is always fastest. Packed is always the worst. Not only that, packed has to be unpacked for EVERY page load. It’s never ready to run. So it uses more browser memory, and has a delay *every* time.
By the way, what does jquery actually do within bbpress’s topics for regular users? I don’t get it, there’s no javascript actions. bbpress used to have ajax posting but that was removed a long time ago (it should come back sometime…)
If you absolutely must distribute bbpress (and wordpress) with jquery in a more compressed form, please use the jsmin version but definitely not the packed version.
Hi folks… Love this software. The style and vibe just can’t be beat!
I’ve been running bbPress for about 6 weeks. I have received many complaints about registration emails not coming. I finally tracked down the following error in the Sendmail logs:
stat=Data format error
The frustrating part is that it is intermittent. Sometimes I see ‘stat=Sent (OK…’ and the user gets the email. Many times, no email.
Has anyone seen this? Any idea why this is happening?
Hi Guys,
This is prob a very simple thing to do, but after hours of scouring the forums I still can’t find the solution. I have bbpress installed with wordpress, I’ve done all the back-end integration, I know that front-end integration is possible but I’ll leave that for another day. So how do you go about creating a hyper-link on bbpress that will redirect users back to my wordpress blog ? All I need is just a simple link-type button.
Thanks!
Fir
Where can you download this plugin??? This link in the plugin repository does not work:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/avatar-upload.0.8.3.zip
It gives me a 404 File Not Found message
Sounds similar to my situation. All posts are appearing fine in bbPress (from the forum and blog comments). However, in WordPress I only see several duplicates of the most recent comment.
If I deactivate the bbSync plugin all the blog comments are displayed as normal.
Anyone know how to resolve this?

Wordpress 2.3.3
bbPress 0.8.3.1
That really should work… you might try adding a RewriteBase to it. Do you have a regular .htaccess for bbpress already?
But WP 2.4 should be out in March perhaps?
So it would be a nice co-release at that time.
I’ve got the two trunks purring along together, though I had to smack WP into submission to reduce the default mysql queries per page (27 for the default install with a single test post is a little high, wouldn’t you say?) Still trying to figure out if I can disable the new tag system in WP to reduce the load further.
I’ve now made an early 0.0.1 openid plugin available:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/openid
@ __ck__: I was planning on tackling this, since I just love OpenID. But it would be nice to also offer support for phpMyID (http://siege.org/projects/phpMyID/). That’s what I use to make my own domain, my openID.
Why doesn’t bbPress allow to login users already logged to WP? I can see them in the list of my forum users (a-bishop.com e.g.). But when I try to login, bb-login.php strips the dot and login name becomes “a-bishopcom”.
Guys, and what about OpenID? My users are able to login to WordPress, but bbPress just strips all dots while trying to login. E.g. WP login: a-bishop.com, bb Login page shows a-bishopcom and says that password is incorrect. How can we fix it?
Thank you so much for replying and posting such valuable information.
You’ll be pleased to know that I followed your tips and got a local hosting company (in Australia) that are just a phone call away without having to listen to Santana while on hold for 40 minutes.
The transfer went smoothly and the DNS propogated in like 5 hours. It all went pretty good.
Before the migration, my site had been without email for 4 days because the old host (IX Webhosting) was so fucking useless. I am pleased to report that the site is generating as much email as a spammers computer.
Thank you again
awsome t hanks for your help i just hate db’s so much
Unfortunately there are cookie and password hash incompatibilities between 1075 and the current release of WordPress. Otherwise we probably would release it.
Build 1075 has gotten pretty good on the nearly auto-install part.
It’s smarter than previous versions.
Since it’s password compatible with WordPress 2.4, if no other build is public-ready by then, I’d suggest releasing 1075 as bbPress 0.8.4 to somewhat match numbers.
Hi, I did a brazilian portuguese translation for last version of bbPress. Portugal users can use it too since I cared about using words used for Brazilian and Portugal Portuguese language.

Also, BackPress may or may-not be incorporated into WordPress. bbPress is a testing ground for the concept. If it doesn’t get incorporated into WordPress it doesn’t really matter, hopefully we’ll at least have a better structured core in bbPress as a result.
Sending email to hotmail and aol accounts is impossible from any host that you can’t setup a proper rDNS and more importantly SPF.
SPF is critical (only gmail seems immune – thanks google, whew). If hotmail doesn’t see SPF or doesn’t like it, you’re screwed. Microsoft also caches the SPF results so if you change it, you have to write a support message to them and wait a week until someone sees it.
As far as host reliability, here’s my strange take on it over the years: you’ll never find a large host that you’ll be happy with. They all have issues. If someone thinks their large host is perfect they either just have been lucky or not with them long enough. Large hosts are constantly changing employees so customer service quality varies tremendously. And the more you need customer service on any host, the more you are in trouble.
For bbpress (and wordpress) make sure you find a host with locally attached storage to the server and not NFS like Dreamhost which makes file access very slow. There’s no caching module like wp-cache for bbpress so file access is even more critical.
The two first big questions I always ask are: what kind of hardware is my server running on and how many neighbors will I have. Backup quality is probably the next question. Everything else is either hype or irrelevant IMHO. You might also ask if the host is within their own datacenter and can literally reach out and touch their own hardware if they need to replace a hard drive or if they are at the mercy of yet another third party’s technical support to do it for them.
If you can afford it, get your own VPS with a low number of neighbors on the same node. But that’s definitely more expensive than shared hosting so you have to be willing to pay for it. At least with VPS you can migrate the entire setup within the same host fairly easily if your neighbors turn out to be abusive.
As I was reverse integrating the WP trunk with the bbPress trunk this weekend I was thinking a lot more about this – and the more I think about it, the more I am getting confused about what is being planned.
If WP and bbPress are being coded to use to a unified function library that would definitely break wordpress hooks. But Matt would never do that as it would break 1000’s of plugins and themes for the far more popular WordPress.
In some ways, bbPress’s db/load process and hooks are slightly more thought out/evolved than WordPress because they came later and WordPress has to maintain some backward compatibility.
So then it occurred to me that to leave the WP hooks alone, I hope you are not trying to replace the core of bbPress only with WP-like functions? I don’t see how that could be done without breaking every single plugin and theme for bbPress? Will the next (non minor) release of bbPress have a nearly-unified WP core?
In trac I see BB functions being renamed to their WP counterparts. But no wrapper functions for backward compatibility are being written. I see the backend of bbPress being hammered into backPress and I imagine the next bbPress as simply a front-end being re-written to only use the backPress, ie. wordpress, hooks.
So I guess the final question is: is there a plan to write wrapper functions or is the general attitude just to abandon all third party work to date for the next bbPress release and just hope we go along for the ride?
I use http://www.1and1.com and have for the past 4 years or so, since their 3-year free preview began. You will find lots of negative things online about 1&1 if you look around, but honestly, I haven’t had any major issues with them. I did have a problem at one point with the box they had me on being overloaded, and it took some work to convince them that the problem was some other site dragging the whole box down, but since they moved that site (or my account, I’m not sure which) things have been great. Convincing support to escalate a ticket is sometimes difficult, but if you know what you’re talking about, they do it. They always follow up via email as well. I have called for things and been on hold, but I don’t know of a hosting company out there where that won’t happen occasionally. Thankfully, I haven’t had to call them much in 4 years.
They have been rock solid reliable for me, and I have never had a problem with email delivery. MySQL, Perl, PHP4 and 5 all included on a shared Linux server.
I also have two root servers with them which I’m entirely happy with.
