I remember when bbPress had AJAX posting:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/718
Not post preview, but still, the AJAX was there at one point.
Thanks for the replies; I’ve upgraded the forum to the newest version 0.8.3, and then I’ve apply recounting. Now the problems I’ve stated in my first message are solved.
Thanks for the response.
Okay, I tried to patch all the files with the changes in that ticket and I seem to get the same error.
Here is my config.php:
<?php

define('BBDB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old config.php does
define('BBDB_COLLATE', ''); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them
// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

When I run the testdb.php I get

Here is the text php file that connects to the database and works:

I think if you post the config.php and the test script with connection details, someone will be able to help. Seems like a simple connection issue, assuming you followed the instructions in the other post you found.
Rather than replacing db-mysqli.php with db.php, did you try to apply the patch attached to this ticket?
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/745
Also, using a test script, I entered the same database information that’s in my bbpress config.php file and I can successfully connect to my database. The user, Disco, is the default user and is database administrator so there’s no reason why I should get access denied.
I am installing bbPress to integrate with an existing WordPress. After the second step of install I get this error:
Second Step
Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some
default data.
bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to
database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress2']
SHOW TABLES;
bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to
database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress2']
CREATE TABLE bb_forums....
It seems to be similar to this post,
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/step-two-database-error?replies=4
And this one,
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/db-access-problem-in-the-first-installation-step?replies=19
I tried to resolve it by replacing db-mysqli.php with db.php in the bb-includes folder and that didn’t work.
The username and password are correct. They are the same as for my original wordpress blog. And the database is correct as well. When I change it to something else I can’t even get to the second step.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Here is an example for deactivation hook
//bb_register_deactivation_hook(__FILE__, 'GADeactivate'); // Bug in bbPress 0.8.3, do same thing using next line
add_action('bb_deactivate_plugin_' . bb_plugin_basename(__FILE__), 'GADeactivate');
just remove “de” from above, that should work. For example,
bb_register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'hook_fct');
However, I haven’t used activation hook, therefore I don’t know is there a problem with it.
Strange. Doesn’t your profile page in this official forum show your profile information?
https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/Lookfab
Are you using a theme other than Kakumei on your forum?
This is not a plugin just a quick hack to Aditya Naik ’s popular private forums plugin.
If, like me, you need to add some private forums in your BBPress setup but you don’t want to make those users moderators or administrators then here is how to add a custom role

Hi all.
After a long delay I continue work on my bbPress post plugin. Now is a 5 version of plugin is available. It works with WP 2.3 and up (for older version you can download older plugin), supporting tags, manual link function calling, connecting to other DB (if bbPress installed on other db).
You can download plugin here.
Nice, akhater. Just for simplicity and maintainability, you don’t actually have to copy and paste the member capabilities, you can simply duplicate them through code. (For example)
hey fel et al.,
found another issue which i just spent way too much time trying to figure out.. why is it that anywhere bb_get_option is called, it returns nothing? somehow the bb_get_option function doesn’t have access to the $bb object. I placed the following 2 lines of code in my bbpress functions.php, at the top of the bb_get_option function (after the line that reads global $bb;:
print_r($bb);
echo " $option ";
and i got:
akismet_key mod_rewrite use_cache active_plugins usercookie usercookie page_topics
— notice, the requested option names are being echoed, but there’s no output from print_r($bb). why isn’t $bb set in the bb_get_option function?
this issue is causing bbrepliestext() to output:
Warning: Division by zero in /httpdocs/discuss/bb-includes/functions.php on line 1465
if the “Do you want me to load bbPress whenever to make things like links nicer?” option is checked in Options > bbSync. To be specific, the error comes from line 500 in bbsync.php
is bbPress 0.8.3 compatible with WordPress MU 1.3?
It’s not installed here. It could not work.
Plugin: YouTube in bbPress
test!
Include bb in wp-config.php like so:
require_once('path/to/bb-load.php');
thanks, yeah, i am not using bbpress + wordpress on the installation i’m trying to disable posts and registration on.. that’s the old one that’s getting moved to the new site that has wordpress.
0.8 doesn’t have plugin activation, i guess everything’s just enabled by default (someone correct me if i’m wrong). i’ll have to check out capabilities.php tomorrow (i’m off to a halloween party!). thanks for the help. 
Did you activate it? and did you use a normal user to try posting? (keymaster remains all permissions)
I noticed you probably use WP and bbPress together (by your recent posts), I have no idea if this code can work under that condition.
* Sorry! I just realized that you meant 0.8. Well, I started to use bbPress from 0.8.3, so I don’t know is this compatible to 0.8. You need to check capabilities.php if available in 0.8.
Do you know if the Changes Roles Stuff plugin is compatible with bbpress 0.8? i installed it, but it doesn’t seem to be getting called. I have, in my-plugins/custom-roles.php:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Changes Roles Stuff
Plugin URI: http://www.livibetter.com/it/
Description: Changes Roles Stuff
*/
function ChangesRolesStuff($roles) {
// Changes Key Master Role's display name to 'The Boss'
$roles['keymaster']['name'] = 'The Boss';
$roles['member']['capabilities'] = array('read' => true);
$roles['moderator']['capabilities'] = array('read' => true);
$roles['administrator']['capabilities'] = array('read' => true);
return $roles;
}
add_filter('get_roles', 'ChangesRolesStuff');
?>
but people can still post.
I want to be able to show the currently logged in user’s avatar with Avatar Upload as well as use Display Names. I cannot find a way to use the two the way I want to yet…
Does anyone have a method?
Have you tried to search one in Extend?
If you find no plugin and you can do code, I think you can check line 18 in /bb-post.php, line 479 in /bb-includes/capabilities.php.
You need to check current user’s is allowed to start a new topic in specific forum or not in your filter hook.
Just thoughts, but should work.
PS. I think it’s better not to do too much that bbPress can’t by default, or you could suffer more after upgrading unless you completely know what you do.
